“ Alex is the nicest! Fair prices on the island and great customer service. We cooked our seafood at home and it was delicious. Honestly, I can’t say how positive our experience was. 10/10 recommend! ”
“ Delicious food and great customer service. Highly recommended! We ordered steamed shrimp, lobster, and crab legs. Definitely get the garlic butter—it goes perfectly with the food. ”
“ Alex’s Shrimp Shack is a 10 out of 10! The customer service is absolutely top-notch—friendly, helpful, and full of fantastic options to take home for both dinner and sides. We tried the steamed shrimp and king crab legs, and they were nothing short of phenomenal—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. But the real star of the show? The Key Lime pie. It’s simply to die for—hands down the best pie we have ever had. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in! ”
“ Best shrimp on the island. Fresh, friendly and overall fantastic. We went almost everyday and got shrimp for the day. ”
“ Perfectly steamed shrimp. Best service on the mid-Atlantic. My suburban would not start after the shrimp was ready to eat... they drove me, my Mrs. and two toddlers to our home! ”
“ I would give 10 stars if I could! The take-out steamed and spiced shrimp, lobster, and bacon wrapped scallops were divine, some of the best seafood I’ve had in 15 years of visiting OBX. Potato salad, hush puppies, and baked beans were a big hit, and the crunchy crusted key lime pie seriously rivals the original version found in Key West. I absolutely recommend picking up dinner here for a night in with the family. Expect to heat some items in the oven or microwave - many items are prepared fresh deli-style and refrigerated for easy prep at home. ”
“ Great prices and they'll season and steam the shrimp for you in store. Will definitely become a staple in Outer Banks trips. ”
“ We got some excellent seafood and customer service at Alex's Shrimp Shack! Other renters in the house we were staying were planning on grilling some food over charcoal so we decided to do some at the same time. We picked up some raw shrimp, scallops and a lobster tail; sides including cole slaw, seaweed, potato and cucumber salad; a few small containers of cocktail sauce garlic butter; bamboo skewers for the shrimp and scallops; and desert which was a slice of key lime pie and frozen chocolate covered key lime pie. Everything turned out perfect and delicious! Be sure to stop by for your seafood needs, as they have many more items. We will definitely be back if we stay in the tri-villages area again. ”
