Tables were sticky,so i asked staff to wipe it down but they were still sticky even after they had! ordered the prawn salad,paid for it then was told 5 minutes later they had no prawns i was really disapointed and wondered why it was so hard to have enough prawns in the kitchen. so i asked for just the salad that was a very sad dish hardly any salad for £13.95 with bits of the end of an onion maybe they had run out of onions as well? i had ( instead of the missing hard to find prawns ) olives and bread, the olives was just cheap nasty black olives and not that many and a larger small dish of way too much cheap olive oil, bread was ok though Staff looked bored & unfriendly and the place was empty,they turned another two customers away saying they did not have what they ordered either,the owner/chef/cook/manager or what ever he is looked like he really did not wont to be at work running his buiness on a sunday at 2pm maybe he was just having a bad day but it put me in a mood spoilt my visit i would not reccomend to my friends and family it was a waste of our time and money My partner had the monkfish and chips which he has renamed gonkfish as it wasnt anything special and the chips were frozen for 15.95 it was hardly value for our money. We decided to visit the sea shack as the reviews seemed pretty good however our experience was nothing like what was stated

We tuned up without a booking and the staff quickly accommodated us and were really helpful we ordered and our food came quickly - I had monkfish which was lovely and my husband said the mushy peas with his fish and chips were delicious! The kids meals were good size portions and tasty too!

Walking past on our way to the beach and we noticed the menu had monkfish. The owner/chef was just walking in and said freshly caught each day and really moist. We called in on our way back and they just had one monkfish left. It was delious and very moist though I have to be honest I took the batter off and squeezed the fresh lemon over it. My husband had the chilli beef and really enjoyed it too. Rachel was lovely too. Thanks for a great spontaneous lunch

Spotted this place while walking back from beach one day, so returned to try the food. Due to location we parked in the pay carpark that we'd used to visit the beach and then a very short walk. Tbh if you go anywhere, you normally have to pay to park in the area. I had the monk fish which was great and my partner had a big fresh chicken salad. My 7 year old daughter had olives and bread with a coke. Staff were quick, polite and the meals came out in good time. There were other families and couples enjoying their meals and there's quite a nice theme to the place. I believe it is good to support a local business and felt it was good value for what we had. I did manage to squeeze a sticky toffee pudding in also. Thank you and hopefully see you again.

We waited 20 odd minutes for our full English breakfast and we were disappointed to find that it was cold. My partners plate had oil all under the food ( it was swimming in it) his eggs hadn't been cooked properly and all gooey on the top. We were slightly disappointed but the staff were friendly and helpful 🙏

Spent about £50 on food and drink, we sat on large sofa to the left as you walk in, my wife said it was sticky….when she got up her white trousers were covered in black, gluey residue, tried everything to clean but they are ruined…..she’s not happy

We went there a couple of weeks ago and my wife has also been previously and we had great food, entertainment, drinks and good service. We took friends today as we wanted to help celebrated a birthday, and told them how good it was.. We were very disappointed. Much of the menu was ‘not available’. We tried then to order bread and olives and were told “ I don’t know why it’s on the menu, as we don’t do it”. There was no cod, no platter, no bread and olives, so 3 of us ordered the monkfish….Not a good meal at all. The fish was like rubber, ( all 3 of us ate it, but talked afterwards). The chips were much greasier than last time, and the salad, especially the lettuce had seen its best a couple of days ago. I wanted to say something, but this time nobody bothered to ask how our food was. Last time they asked twice to make sure all was good. We stayed anyway as we had parked the car and had another couple drinks and a pleasant chat, then left. Oh, and the chef went home early! It’s a local business and I like to try out and use local, rather than National chains, and so I’m quite disappointed that I have to write such a poor review. Hopefully it will help them to improve.

The Sea Shack - a place that guarantees unforgettable experiences! We recently had the opportunity to visit this magical spot, and I must say it exceeded our expectations in every way. Firstly, let's talk about the fantastic selection of draught beer they offer. We were delighted to find a wide variety of delicious beers available, and what's even better is that they were reasonably priced at just £5 a pint. It was a real treat to enjoy a refreshing pint of quality beer while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. Moving on to the culinary delights, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the breakfast and lunch options. The breakfast was mouthwatering, with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and freshly baked bread. It provided us with the energy we needed to kick-start our day. Later on, we indulged in a scrumptious lunch that left us completely satisfied. The flavors were expertly combined, and the presentation was simply exquisite. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Aside from the incredible food and drink, what truly sets The Sea Shack apart is the lively live music they feature. The talented musicians created an upbeat and enjoyable atmosphere that added an extra layer of excitement to our visit. We found ourselves tapping our feet and singing along to the tunes, creating unforgettable memories. Lastly, the location of The Sea Shack couldn't be more perfect. Situated in close proximity to both the beach and the steam railway, it offers a picturesque and idyllic setting. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent some time strolling along the sandy shores, immersing ourselves in the tranquility of the ocean. The convenience of having the steam railway nearby was an added bonus, allowing us to explore the surrounding areas with ease. Overall, our experience at The Sea Shack was nothing short of amazing. The combination of great beer, delicious meals, live music, and the stunning location made it a truly unforgettable visit. We will definitely be returning, as this place has won our hearts.

Fantastic restaurant/bar - great live music on weekends, unbelievable food at brilliant prices and staff are bloody brilliant!! Lee is a great Landlord who looks after everyone like family. Never walk past, always pop in! Especially with local sites not being dog friendly, bring your four legged friends with you! Book a table if in doubt, known for being busy (never ever a bad thing) Top quality everyone, well done! Forever a regular here xx

Love this place, really relaxed atmosphere. We visit at least once a week with our support group and a dog and are always made welcome. Good coffee and nice food. Have also visited for a live music evening, a great night for atmosphere & relaxation. Location is handy on the way or back from the beach. Independent business like this should be supported. It's presently quite new, and we look forward to it developing and continuing to enjoy time here.

Excellent full English breakfast enjoyed by the whole family (8) no issue with mix and match of ingredients, then returned later for an evening meal again excellent choice. Friendly atmosphere really pleasant staff nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely return when we are back in the area. A great place to dine or just to have a coffee or hot chocolate after a walk along the beach.

Will be nice when finished. Cups too small unless there are different sizes to order but we were not informed if there was. Prices fairly reasonable for beachside cafe. Settee was dirty covered in what I presume to be hair from a very fluffy dog and spills etc

Another delightful find. A recent feature in Devon Live brought us here. Lovely nautical theme, wisely doggy friendly for beach walkers. Excellent coffee and sandwiches today on the deck with sea views and the joy of the regularly passing steam train. Lady playing the guitar. Chatted to one of the owners who told me they only opened 6 weeks ago and doing well. Passionate and engaging. Licenced so will come by bus next time!😉 Not on TripAdvisor yet.

Lovely place to eat, just at the South end of Goodrington beach, under the railway arch. Where from the outside seating you get a great view of the steam train. Food was very nice with a good selection and coffees are excellent. The service and kitchen waiting time needs to be honed but would still recommend this modern place to eat and chill.

This review is not about a visit. This restaurant is excellent place for eating in. However I would like to bring to your attention that due to health issues, some times the owner is unable to open. We come on holiday and book twice a year. However 3 out of our last 4 bookings have been cancelled. We have just been unlucky, but,if you are new to this restaurant just be aware that this could happen. But do not let this stop you from booking, cause once there you will have a great evening.
