Casual, coastal restaurant in the North Loop. Reservations taken for dining room only, patio seating is available on a first come, first serve basis. Please check in with hosts upon arrival for patio seating.

Although named for the boats used to catch lobster, Smack Shack was launched as a food truck in 2010 serving lobster rolls from a land-locked downtown Minneapolis parking lot. Owner Josh Thoma had a great recipe and a belief that appetite for fresh lobster in the Twin Cities was as strong as any coastal city.

Smack Shack is committed to serving sustainable seafood and is a current partner in the Minnesota Zoo’s Fish Smart program. Sustainable seafood is wild caught or farm raised seafood that has established practices to ensure the long term growth and thriving populations of seafood with limited harm to the environment.

You couldn’t help but feel extremely welcomed. I’d say that was just the Holiday spilling over, but that’s always the way it is at Smack Shack when I’ve been there in the past. Our server was completely attentive, even when we threw him a couple of ‘audibles’. Even the big guy bringing the food out was outstanding. Great team! And then there is the food. Without hesitation, I would say second to none!!!

My grandsons and the adults all were extremely pleased with each dish. We shared appetizers and enjoyed various entrees. Every dish was exceptional. I asked my 8 year old grandson what his favorite was. He named 3 dishes and he didn’t even get to try my favorite, the Lobster roll.

Service was ok. Made reservations on the App. Requested table along window/wall. They tried to seat us in middle of restaurant even though there were several open tables along the wall. Clearly they do not review the reservation.

I complained and while the waiter totally agreed and acknowledged how it should taste, he still charged me for the meal even though I didn’t even eat it. Bummer of a night.
