"What do mac and cheese, guacamole, and corn dogs all have in common? At Smack Shack, the answer would be they all have lobster in them. And it's no big surprise that they are all exquisite (yes, even the corn dog). And if crustaceans or seafood aren't your thing, their menu has many sandwiches, salads, soups and a full bar that are still worth the visit." - Krisna MacDonald
"Smack Shack’s covered patio, which stretches down Sixth Avenue, has a permanent roof and overhead industrial heaters, making it an extra-cozy spot for blustery days. Grab a cup of shrimp chowder, Dayboat scallops in a garlic cream sauce, or jambalaya — all ideal meals for the chilly months. Online ordering is available." - Justine Jones
"Located in the Warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis as well as in Bloomington and Roseville, Smack Shack is an expert on all things lobster, especially when it comes to a delectable lobster bisque, which comes with toasted milk bread for dipping. Online ordering is available for those who’d rather grab-and-go, but the restaurant also has plenty of dine-in seating." - Cinnamon Janzer
"This casual coastal seafood spot transitioned from Lent fish fry specials to making this dish a menu staple. Smack Shack’s North Loop and Bloomington locations offer beer-battered cod accompanied by Cajun fries, Coastal Slaw, and creamy tartar sauce. Both locations offer online ordering through Toasttab." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Smack Shack has a casual, shore-lunch vibe. It offers almost every possible preparation of lobster imaginable: Think lobster guacamole, lobster bisque served with grilled milk bread, lobster mac and cheese, lobster poutine, and buttered lobster rolls. There’s a whole lobster dinner on the menu, too, for cracking and dunking the Old Bay-spiced meat into drawn butter." - Eater Staff
