As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I can't help but be excited about what The Shack has to offer.

The shrimp boil has received accolades as well, with reviews highlighting its delicious seasoning. The all-you-can-eat shrimp comes beautifully paired with boiled red potatoes, corn on the cob, and spicy sausage—an offering that encapsulates the heart of Southern cooking. Noty Kity’s enthusiasm for this dish is palpable and it’s easy to see why—food should be this good!

Visitors can also indulge in comfort dishes like the cream of crab soup and the club sandwich, which Candace describes as fresh and delicious. It’s clear that The Shack combines tradition with quality, ensuring that every dish stands out.

Our Guestbook
“ First off, I used to go to Ellender High about 2 miles from this awesome place. We had the seafood plate special. The crawfish was fresh, but the Dungeness crab was noticeably from frozen( if it was fresh, I would have given 5 stars on everything. " Other than that, the raw shucked oysters for starters was fresh. We ordered 3 dozens of them. Lol. The Seafood Bloody Mary was pretty good, too. The servers were nice and brought out the food in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this place. I live in South Carolina now, but I'll be back to try this place again for sure. ”
