"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
"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." - Eater Staff
"Home to an iconic lobster, this North Loop restaurant sports a fantastic patio and a giant lobster boil roiling at the heart of this two story restaurant." - Eater Staff
"Smack Shack is pouring a freebie “Patriotic Punch” on election day." - Joy Summers
"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
