Reviews for Darlene's Shrimp Shack

08/31/2025 - Harvey P.
While vacationing in Galveston, I tracked down Darlene's Shrimp Shack after hearing fellow YouTubers rave about their colossal, flavorful shrimp. The garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper varieties packed such a punch that I devoured every bite faster than my fries and soda could keep up. Service was friendly and the outdoor seating by the water made the wait for these juicy, fresh-to-order shrimp totally worth it-plus, those hush puppies changed my whole opinion on hush puppies forever!

Best shrimp on the island - now that that -ss Fertitta took over all the other restaurants and doesn't have as quality of food as they used to.
