We had the seafood platter for two and certainly was worth the price. The waitress was insanely friendly and was quick to assist when we asked how to open the crab and what parts we could eat and couldn’t (we had never had crab before). The garlic prawns were incredible, highly recommend.

Great relaxing atmosphere and even has vegan food options. The banana blossom was delicious ?

Absolutely delicious food with really lovely efficient waiting staff. Nothing was too much trouble & there was no rush for us to leave the table. I would award them more than 5 stars if I could. ???Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to push a wheelchair into the restaurant & easy to manoeuvre it around the tables,

Good fish restaurant close to the center of Falmouth. You Need to book in advance for an inside table.

My husband and I had lunch there in September 2023. Hubby had a crab sandwich, I had mussels. They were both very good. My mussels were lovely, tasty and large. My husband mopped up the white wine sauce and declared it the best he had ever had.

We had a family meal - late lunch - here, a couple of days ago. It was lovely! The other people in the restaurant were equally happy, there was a young italian family too.There is a good children’s menu.The oysters are excellent but tend to sell out.I had fish and chips; they were so well made the food did not feel heavy on the stomach.Check opening times and book in advance, if you want to eat here, as it gets busy. We did not book but luckily it was 45 mins to closing so we got a table.I can’t remember if there was baby change facilities here, but the very good maritime museum, 1 minute walk away, has some there.Staff were very nice. Chefs very professional.I would recommend this restaurant very highly… good for families were young children too.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu very good and suitableParking: Parking gets busy during summerWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is a bit tight, and prams. The restaurant is quite small

Our first meal in Cornwall and certainly one of the most memorable, service was amazing and the staff were so accommodating, we sat outside since it was a full house inside but asked to move tables closer to the entrance of the restaurant where it was a bit warmer and they gave us blankets too.We ordered the seafood platter for 3 and an extra side of calamari and was concerned it wasn’t going to be enough but we were oh so wrong - this magnificent spread of seafood could feed 4 easily as we couldn’t even finish it and had to take some home.Everything was just so delicious, especially the scallops and mussels in white wine sauce and the huge crab which was briny and meaty.You definitely get your moneys worth coming here, and will leave happily stuffed!We will visit again when we come back to Cornwall!

Dined here last night with our guest from USA. 3 of us shared a delicious Shack Stack Seafood Platter which was amazing and one had Fish & Chips which was also top class fresh fish.. Excellent service reasonable price and lovely relaxed ambient atmosphere. Highly recommend. We will be back. Thank you Shack Team

What a lovely evening ! We ordered the seafood sharing platter, 2 lobsters, and the mussels, which just about all fitted onto our table (pictures provided). We really enjoyed everything (particularly the lobsters !). It was a nice and relaxed setting with great fresh seafood, and good unobtrusive service. We though it represented good value, and would definitely return when next in Falmouth. You may need to order Lobsters in advance (so check when booking to avoid disappointment !)

Wow!! If you like seafood this is the place to go. We had mussels, clam chowder and fish and chips... All the best I've ever had. Real depth of flavour for the clam chowder, massive delicious grit free mussels and beautiful fresh fish and chips. Service was fantastic. Really knowledgeable and attentive, friendly service.

There’s a relaxed vibe with funky decor. The staff are friendly and relaxed. The food itself is to die for. Lots of choice and variety - all good.

Beautiful seafood served in a chilled and friendly atmosphere. The Thai mussels were heavenly. The staff were knowledgeable and very understanding about my unusual allergy.
