This is our first visit back to the Shell Shack since it opened a few years ago, and what a lovely change! Our service was excellent, the food exceeded our expectations, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The restaurant was busy, and while the staff was minimal, they worked hard to ensure everyone was well taken care of. I highly recommend paying them a visit! View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Shell Shack:
They have Blue Moon on tap and the best fried pickles! But our crab and shrimp came out luke warm and over cooked. The service was good though, thank you Kayla! We might try again, not sure. View all feedback.

The tater tots are soo good Food is really good Bar is awesome and the oysters are big You should stop by and check it out
This is the best seafood I've ever had! The restaurant was spotlessly clean, and the service was incredibly attentive. I had a few questions about the menu, and the waiter patiently took the time to explain everything. He also made sure to keep an eye on our table. Our order was prepared perfectly and tasted amazing! It’s my favorite seafood restaurant in Tyler!
This is the first time I've ever given a restaurant a 1-star rating! DO NOT EAT HERE! I’m usually not one to complain and I typically focus on the positive, so let’s start with the good: the calamari was nice and crispy, though it could have used a bit more salt. However, I’m genuinely concerned that my husband might end up with food poisoning. He ordered oysters on the half shell, which arrived on a plate of ice but were at room temperature. He usually finishes every oyster, but he could only handle 6 this time. The boiled dish tasted overwhelmingly of chili powder and was overcooked by about 10 minutes, making it very difficult to peel. We managed to eat just one shrimp before deciding to leave. The total bill was $234.00! What a complete waste!
The food was so good. Be sure to try the fried Bread Pudding with caramel sauce as a dessert! It is a little expensive for the relaxed atmosphere, but we really enjoyed our visit.
