The Shak

Holy crap... I must have gone on a bad night. I don't even know where to start. My parents have lived in the St. Simons Island area for some time now and I see the Shak all the time. I keep saying I need to stop there for dinner and I finally did. Let me preface this with the fact that I was a server for years. I get it...but......there is only so much you can handle. First off, margaritas where off the chain.. best thing about the whole night. But the fact that for almost 45 minutes we didn't have silverware, plates or water just didn't sit right with me. This was AFTER we had our appetizers. Had to eat off a napkin, with my hands. I ordered Oysters... after 20 minutes they told me they were out. I ordered crab clusters. "Are you sure you have them?" "yes"..... 10 minutes later, they were out. Got an order of fish tacos.. and the tacos literally where the shells you can buy at Win Dixie on the island. Aren't they suppose to be in flour tortillas? I wasn't impressed. Oh, and by the way.. what happened to our shrimp and soup we ordered? The kitchen forgot. It was just a complete mess....complete cluster.  I really really wanted to like this place... I hope the management reads this. It needs some major help for it to out last it's competition in this coastal town.

When I am in the mood for great seafood I make sure to go to The Shak.  It is always a great meal no matter what I order.

Nice place but I was figuratively attacked by gay men.    Not sure how the food is.
