Finally got to try this place as good as advertised,Simply delicious!
(Updated 06/06/2022) Stopped by today for lunch yet again! Never fails to be impressed! Next time we need to grab some “swag” @ their “swag shop” and promote the business up here in Bellingham and beyond! Such a great experience, each & every-time!!Previous review: OK so we all have the same photos. Great shrimp, excellent fries, calamari strips, scratch made, nothing fancy, JUST GREAT FOOD! Get the FRESH shrimp, so much fun and so unique. We'll be back, again, again, again and again!!
Very friendly staff food is delicious!!!
Unless you pack a lunch, the pickings are slim near Rosario Beach. Fortunately The Shrimp Shack offers fresh seafood and burgers cooked to order plus peel-and-eat shrimp. Since the orders take a LONG time to cook, order some beverages (beers on tap and spiked seltzers are available) and relax at the outdoor tables, tented for shade and rain. They were out of their famous shrimp burgers on the Saturday we visited. I had grilled cod tacos (tasty but messy!) and my companions had the Dungeness crab burgers (high marks). The fries are nice and crispy. I wish they had a recycling bin for all the cans and bottles. You stand in line to order (at all hours) then grab a seat to wait until your number is called. The restrooms are porta-potties Prices were not inexpensive (considering the lack of amenities) but portions were generous.
This place ALWAYS has an insane line out front!! Not today.Decided TODAY WAS THE DAYOrdered the Popcorn shrimp & onion rings. The food is really goodShe gave me a sample of chowderWhile I was waiting and it wasAmazeballs!! Organic ketchup to boot. Tastier than anticipated.I am DEFINITELY COMING BACK
Great variety of food for all. It may take awhile if they are busy but all the food is fresh and delicious. Outside seating under cover. Fresh shrimp available to go when in season.
A fellow airplane traveler to Bellingham told us to try this place. We stopped here for lunch before heading to Whidbey Island. It was freezing cold out and we ordered from the window. We sat under the tent area and had to wait quite awhile for the food. I had fish and chips and my friend had shrimp. I've had better fish and chips and cheaper to. If I was in the area again, I would drive on. Not worth it to me.
Excellent oyster burger I really liked how it was fried up and the topping in the sandwich. Hush puppies tasted very good as well. Long wait time on the weekends but worth it.
The scarcity makes this place good...Otherwise nothing special. Food is very average but it's pricey. Lady in the window was super nice though!We took our food to the deception pass bridge to eat so that was a good vibe.
Loved the popcorn shrimp! The fries were not quite as good, but still good. Thus place is almost always busy and I can see why. The menu is pretty extensive and includes non-seafood items and a kids menu. Lots of fun and we will return
