Wow! This place was a great find. Everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot on. The helpings were large. We got everything we needed, wanted and dreamed of and more with this place. When we found this place, we were thinking great for a small group. A small place, this would be perfect for a small group. We had several things that got put on the table but when we were seared to have food we were welcomed with the heaviest portion I could think of inside of a fully wrapped to go box. Inside to my surprise was a hefty helping of corn and sausage and four whole large red potatoes as just the sides! The crab and the shrimp were great. The hush puppies were awesome and the chicken was well done. Five stars would absolutely recommend and I'm absolutely going here again when I'm back.

Great place for hot fried fish near the hospital/university.With a mid 90 sanitation score, I actually was full on the whiting fish plate. I read another review about the fish fried hard and that's true. Atmosphere was appropriate and welcoming. Staff greeted me within 60 seconds of entering. I watch as other patrons entered to see if the same energy would be given to them and it was. Definitely a returning spot. Cons, sticky tables and coleslaw was minced not shredded, looked like mush, but tasted good. Flavor wasn't overpowering the meat. I will update when I go back and they are busy.

Our food was fresh, hot, well presented and tastes great. Those looking for quantity will be well satisfied. I’m one looking for quality and yes it was my first time. The young lady that served me was truly pleasant and professional. After eating their food I waiting to hear my wife’s reaction because she has an extremely sensitive stomach. I would like give this business 10 stars because the food did NOT hurt her stomach and this was one of our best experiences eating out for seafood.

Today is my 2nd time eating at Shonuff. The fried flounder is seasoned so well that I don’t need condiments. I ordered the flounder- shrimp combo, a single crab cluster and strawberry lemonade. My food was hot and excellent.The owner and hostesses were all nice. Another post mentioned no bibs but I got a cracker and used plenty of napkins. This will be a regular stop for me. The prices are also very reasonable for quality fresh seafood. Parking may be a challenge with limited street parking and a lot that may be available after 5pm during the week and on the weekends.

Wow, amazing crab boils! We got a single cluster with shrimp, then came back for a double cluster. I couldn't believe how deeply flavored the crab is here. Definitely coming back! Now that they don't have beer buy you can go next door down the stairs to Moon Dog and pick up a good selection there!

The food here was very good and plentiful. They give you your money's worth "Aho Nuff." The service was good and the people were very polite. It's was a little chilly and didn't seem to be able to turn the the Gian overhead ceiling fan off but overall all a good place to go and eat. It was my parents and sister's second visit and my first. We will probably go back for more when I'm in Durham.

Great seafood here. Lots of food on your plate. They beat other crab places that have food in the bags.

I got 2 catered pans of 8 cluster crab legs & the pan of potatoes, corn and sausage & 2 doz hushpuppies for my husband's birthday dinner party. Ordering online & pick up was simple & easy! Sasha was so helpful when I called about ordering in advance and reassured me that they would receive my online order & that everything would be ready on time. They provided a cart so I could roll my pans to my truck without making 2 trips. The food was ready at the requested time when I got there & it was delicious. Especially the potatoes and sausage. I'm not a fan of crab legs but those that were enjoyed them. I remembered to take a picture after we had already started eating but everything looked wonderful at pickup. We'll be back!

Probably the best food I've ever had in my life. It had great flavor I got it with little spice to it and was just the right amount. They're sauce and seasoning is just phenomenal with the food. Their pineapple lemonade enough said. Have some German chocolate cake with it it's my mouth was on fire and it all just went together perfect. My regret was I ate everything and I had an hour drive home. Look forward to going back there next time I'm in town.

Been here twice and my friend and I refuse to try any other seafood place because we’re hooked on this one. Typically spend about ~$50 which in my experience is pretty average for a seafood platter. Love that they let me substitute the potatoes for more corn without upcharge either! The food is good and well seasoned, the wait times aren’t long, and the desserts are sweet. Overall 100/10!

So let me start off by saying that the young woman they have working the front counter was very pleasant and kind, she answered all my questions. However I ordered a steamed plate with crabs, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and eggs. The crabs and shrimp were overcooked. The crab meat was sticking to the inside which made it really hard to eat. The shrimp still had the shells on it which was fine, but they to were too soft and mushy and made it hard to peel. The meat was falling apart in my hands. The only food that was good on my plate were the potatoes and corn, the eggs weren’t even good. I ordered the spicy butter garlic sauce, it was spicy but flavorless. The strawberry lemonade was delicious, I brought two of them. The carrot cake was amazing but they don’t make it there. I read the reviews and decided to give this place a try. For the amount of money I spent in this restaurant it definitely was not worth it for me. I have definitely had better and paid less. If I ever decide to visit this restaurant again it will be for the drinks and dessert!

The food was delicious. Perfectly seasoned. I wish they had more of a variety for family meals. Staff was knowledgeable and patient. Was it good? Sho Nuff!

Stopped in here for some seafood. Crabs were a good size and meaty. Shrimp were also a good size. You have the choice of shelled and deveined or in the shell. They also give a good amount of potatoes, corn and sausage. I got the garlic butter sauce, which was a little on the salty side and very heavy on the garlic. You really have to love garlic, otherwise it's probably best to get this on the side. They will provide crab crackers if asked, but no crab picks, bibs or gloves available. The fried catfish was on point! Fried whiting was decent. I'll definitely be back for hot fish. The prices were on the steep side, compared to other seafood places with similar offerings, but I support the business and want to see them succeed. Customer service was really good. I would recommend.

I got the delicious seafood boil, seasoned very well and made with love i would say. My wife got the fried shrimp plater with french fries, hush puppies and coleslaw, she definitely loved it and saved some for later. Great service and reasonably priced. * Personally I would say adding white rice to the menu to go with the seafood boil could grant you a loyal customer for life. Just saying 😁
