Nothing fancy by any means, but did you really expect that with the name having "shack" in it, and I'm sure you peeped a few photos beforehand. LoL! It's a little cramped on the inside, but the screened in patio is a good spot for dining if the weather is nice. The hours are very limited, so get there early. We got there around 12 on a Saturday, and there was already a line outside waiting to order. I've been here before and always get the same thing, the Shrimp Burger! It's ONLY RIGHT, being that I don't know anywhere else with that item on their menu. LOL! Don't let the presentation of it fool ya, but seriously, how many ways can make a Shrimp Burger fancy. The fries are just crinkle fries, had no salt but no huge big deal. A few people with me tried the rice for the first time and each person said it was bland with no seasoning. I may try the fish when I come back because it looked good on someone else's plate, but I hope it was seasoned just as good. The cost is not too bad, had to purchase the drink and side separately, but it didn't come as a complete combo. Customer service was great, we had issues with our sodas not being tasty, and the lady bringing out the food was very nice and exchanged them with no issues. The bathroom is very small and right in the front where people are waiting and eating, for some that may not be comfortable using unless it's an emergency.

The Shrimp Shack was a huge part of my childhood vacations to Hunting Island and I was so happy to get to visit again 20+ years later. Nothing has changed. Fantastic food and local flavor. Nothing better than sitting in the cool Carolina breeze with a shrimp burger!

Simply the best shrimp burgers in all of S.C. as far as I'm concerned. Easy to miss driving by but truly memorable afterward. Give me a small mom and pop operation anytime with their own unique flavors rather than nationwide same old same old.

Yes it’s only open a few times a week, I make it happen. Do not be lured into other items. Order the SHRIMP BURGER and get a “super” or large. If you don’t, you will wish you did !

I had the fried shrimp dinner with iced tea. The shrimp were delicious and the breading light. It does not have the best look from the outside, but do not let that stop you. Park and go in. The food is top notch.

I was surprised when asked to write a review. I don't know I never did before. I first went to the Shimp Shack in 1991. It was outstanding. It was literally a shack of a building in the owner's front yard. The only thing you need to order is the shrimp burger, which is as it sounds. It is ground up shrimp, very lightly breaded, cooked, and put on a hamburger bun. Add their homemade coctail sauce and it is perfection. Every time I return to the Lowcountry, I go out of my way to visit the Shrimp Shack, which is much larger than a shack now. It is still just as good. On this last visit, I took my children for the first time, expecting them to think the idea of ground up shrimp was icky. They tried it. They loved it. They wanted to go back for lunch the following day. Remember to bring cash. They don't do plastic. While you are at it, continue to Hunting Island State Park. It completes a great day trip to the islands.
Wife loved the shrimp.
