Seafood Shack Inc - Dallas

Good food but the service is so stinking slow it's hardly worth it!!!

Ok..the current copy of the Observer is about good, cheap eats and the Seafood Shack isn't a shack...it's a love nest of goodness. The house specialty, Sam's Cajun, is the shizit...it makes you wanna slap somebody. The bacon wrapped Texas pickles (that's jalapeños people) was equally grand. The sweetie and I rate this two thumbs, a leg and smacking lips good.....

Ordered 1lb shrimp, no head. Mexican cocktail and ceviche. The ceviche was bright and yummy. The boiled shrimp lacked flavor, were way over cooked, and since they weren't split down the back like some seafood boil places do, they had to be cleaned before eaten (you know what I'm talking about and No thanks). The Mexican cocktail was pretty standard, but since I had to clean my shrimp from the boiled option I paid attention to these and guess what, 25% of them had to be cleaned before eaten as well. This is all well and good if you don't care about eating the shrimp poop (and I know people that do not care), but I do care. So I will try other menu options next time.

Used to be great tasting and cheap! Hole in the wall but worth it for the delish food. The problem? It's not so cheap anymore : . As with everything things have got more expensive the problem is that it's difficutl to justify when Aw Shucks hasn't raised its prices nearly as much and manages to hit the spot when I'm craving ceviche. Also with the shrimp coctkail the last couple of times the shrimp were rubbery and overcooked.

Best fried oysters I've found so far! The chips salsa are far better than most of the places I've been lately. Love the shrimp cocktail Sams Cajun. You order pay at the counter. They bring the food to you as it is ready so it's hot delicious!
