Skrimp Shack | Manassas, VA,

"The BIG Cat Sammich was huge. It had great flavor. The only negative was the sauce was put under the tray liner and I didn't find it until I was done with lunch. I was thinking the whole time it needed some sort of sauce. Just sorry I have to go back west where they don't have Skrimp Shack"

"My first time trying! I ordered online for take out. I got the spicy fried shrimp with ranch and a mac & cheese side. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the shrimp. Yummy. Definitely flavorful. The ranch wasn’t my favorite but I can try a different sauce another time. The mac & cheese is not southern style so, beware lol. The sweet tea is so good. The staff was nice and the environment was super cute and clean. I will be back again, but trying different sides!"

"As a southerner now living in northern Virginia, I have longed for fried catfish, hush puppies, and fried okra. These are not easy to find in NOVA, but finally my search has been rewarded. My husband and I had lunch today at the Skrimp Shack in Manassas for the first time, but I can guarantee that it won't be the last time! I got the Big Cat(fish) basket with a side of Cole slaw, and my husband got the Skrimp basket with a side of hush puppies. We also ordered two "shareables": fried pickles and fried okra. Everything was very good, and the okra and catfish were excellent! The shrimp, slaw, pickles, and hush puppies were quite good but they are not as rare as the okra and catfish, but everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. We got there right at 11:00, so we were probably their first customers of the day which meant there were only a couple of other people in the restaurant, so I have no idea how busy it gets toward lunchtime, but for when we went, the service was excellent and the food, freshly prepared, was hot and crispy (except for the slaw!!!). I am just happy to know there's a place for okra, catfish, and (next time) collard greens. I'll also mention that everything was very clean, including the restrooms. Loved it and will be back often!"

"After the Sam's Southern Eatery in Manassas shut down I decided to give this place a try, as the menu was very similar. I ordered the dinner sized "Big Cat Basket", "Mac N' Cheese", and "Add 4 Skrimp". The dinner portion is 3/4 LB Fried Fish, and is just the right size for a full stomach. The food took a long time to arrive by DoorDash, but it was worth it... (ordered at 7:34pm, didnt get in my hands until 9:01pm) The catfish was cut into small strips, which was new to me - Usually when I get catfish it's 2-3 big thick and long pieces. The breading on the catfish didn't pair well with the drinks.. For some reason it had a bitter after-taste. I tried to pair the meal with both Mtn Dew and Pepsi - both produced the same bitter taste. The shrimp was quite large, and decently breaded, thought I would have liked to have seen a thicker breading on it. The kind of breading they used on the shrimp basically just fell away like paper as soon as you picked them up. The Mac & Cheese was great - the only place I've had better was Panera. The cheese was in great supply, and was a nice creamy and vibrant texture and taste. The only negative parts of this experience for me was the wait time (DoorDash at fault, not this place), the bitter after-taste on the breading, and that I got no utensils or napkins with my meal. All-in-all the meal was fantastic. I would say in the future I shall be returning."
