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.

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.

Such a disappointing experience. I use to come here with my family all the time, and Im not sure if they've changed management but the food and service was horrible. The popcorn shrimp was almost $11.00 and they only gave us 10 little pieces, so basically $1 a shrimp. As for the Alaskan cod, I'm pretty sure it was previously frozen. It was so soggy and didn't taste fully cooked. The only thing thing that was good were their fries. Not to mention when I took the shrimp back the lady gave me the biggest attitude and closed her window. Unfortunately I'll never go back. I recommend Seabolts in Oak Harbor.

What a great experience! The staff at the counter were very friendly and kind. There was so much great food to choose from it was a tough choice but I settled on the Captains sampler! Got a mix to taste more. It was great value. The food only took 10-12 minutes on a rainy day with people frequenting the restaurant. I ate outside and savored the flavor of the delicious food. Not overly fried and very appetizing and easy to eat. The food was dairy free and so was the tarter sauce!! Win!! I’ll be back! Thank you!
