Had good time, friendly staff, tasty food platter we eate. Quantity provided was sufficient along with plenty rice and chips well thought then others, value for money reasonably charged which is plus point, great work guys will definitely vist again and will recommend others who are seafood lovers. Keep the same unique concept of no menu overpricing/quantity/quality/ambience which is best I have seen comparing others seafood places and you are doing great.

If you’re a seafood lover, Shrimp Shack in Birmingham city centre is a must-visit! The restaurant is very popular, so booking a table in advance—especially on weekends—is highly recommended. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. One thing to note is that you pay for your food upfront when ordering, which isn’t an issue but worth mentioning. Our food took about 30 minutes to arrive, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The presentation was top-notch, and every bite was delicious. The shrimp was perfectly cooked—so tender that it practically melted in your mouth. We ordered a platter for three, and the portion was generous, easily satisfying all of us. The only downside is the pricing, which is a bit on the higher side, likely due to its central location. However, for the quality of food and experience, it’s justifiable. Highly recommend Shrimp Shack for seafood enthusiasts. It’s a gem in the heart of Birmingham.

Good food, portions are great and the sauces are a great complement to the meals. Our servers were both really good, and despite being busy they stopped at our table to make sure everything is fine. Had sea food boil platter for one and had plenty to takeout

Excellent. Went with my mum and sister and the food tasted fab; you get your money's worth. Polite staff and friendly environment great for a night out and family. Apple crumble was gorgeous. I asked for more custard, and they happily provided it. We went for the most expensive boil, which has two lobster tails and bigger sized shrimps. We also each had cocktails and dessert, hence the price per person was high but you can still have a good time for less than £20pp if you go for the cheaper platters (quality is the same and the smaller shrimps are still a great size). So something for every budget. Toilet wasn't bad but could be better maintained. I am already planning to return with my husband and kids. They loved the leftovers we brought home.

An unexpected delight in the heart of Broad Street! Shrimp Shack exceeded all expectations — every shrimp dish was a triumph of flavour and freshness, each bite more addictive than the last. Even my kids were hooked (though my mildly OCD son and I did raise an eyebrow at the glorious mess that comes with shell-on indulgence). The flavours, however, made every napkin worth it — buttery, garlicky, tangy perfection. The only misstep? The mussels — a rare miss in an otherwise stellar seafood lineup. Skip those, and you’re in for a truly delicious, finger-licking experience. The staff were amazing but I think the small size of the joint made us feel we not allow ourselves to be overserved once we had completed our meal.

The food, customer and atmosphere was really well put together. The waiters were always around to provide assistance when you need it. A point to remember is that if you seated close to the door, you may get a bit of chilled every time the door is opened.

Brilliant place with great food. The shrimp platter is excellent and very tasty. The sauces were really nice. I didn't like the chicken wings though. They're too sweet, like they have a layer of sugar on it.The service is really good. Note that you need to pay upfront after you order.

Food was absolutely amazing, had a platter and the prawns, fries, corn and sauces were delicious. The rice was nice but I think for this style of flavoured rice, it would be better if they used easy cook rice instead of basmati, just my opinion. Service was friendly and efficient, could do with some background music

The Shrimp Shack offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious and affordable seafood. The shrimp and other dishes are fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, making it a great choice for seafood lovers. The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual yet cozy meal with friends or family. However, a downside is the lack of wine options to pair with the seafood, which could have elevated the experience. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal, though a little more variety in the beverage selection would be a nice touch.
