Most people don’t think of Minnesota when they imagine outstanding seafood. Sure, we have plenty of freshwater lakes where people often pull out dinner-worthy catches. But you won’t be pulling up any saltwater favorites here. Luckily, there are still some fantastic places to get fresh seafood. One of our favorites is an unassuming seafood shack in Minneapolis. Here, you’ll find the best lobster rolls in the Midwest. Read on below to learn more about these lobster rolls and Smack Shack’s other delicious offerings.
Smack Shack is a popular restaurant in Minneapolis. Originally a food truck, and then working out of the 1029 Bar, Smack Shack is now a full-fledged restaurant with multiple locations. You'll find them in the North Loop, Bloomington, Roseville, and even at the airport.
The unassuming North Loop location may be the most popular. Here, diners enter the nondescript brick building to find a modern yet rustic space lined with windows. It's sunny, welcoming, and a great place to grab a bite!
As for the food, Smack Shack specializes in delicious seafood. You'll find everything from oysters and stuffed salmon to po'boys, lobster mac, and beyond.
The food that put Smack Shack on the map, however, is its famous lobster roll. You cannot go wrong with these delicious sandwiches. They're the best you'll find in the Midwest!
Other styles are popular, too. For example, the Connecticut-style lobster roll is made with warm, butter-tossed lobster, lemon, and chives in a split-top bun. No matter the variation you prefer, you'll love what you get at Smack Shack!
