Dam Fish Shack

Stopped in on a cool, rainy evening and were extremely surprised! Love the decor and atmosphere qith both inside and outside seating) but more importantly the food was delicious and a reasonable price. I was delighted that perch was on the menu (delicious and enough to bring some home). My husband raved about the buffalo burger. We will be back!

Since Dam Fish shack keeps deleting my comments and questions on their page I figured I’d write a review so they can’t delete it. The hot ticket item on their menu is the “Alaskan Walleye”, however, there are no “walleye” in Alaska meaning this is the Dam Fish Shack’s attempt at deceptive marketing. Before deleting my comments and questions they admitted that the “type of Walleye they serve is the Alaskan Walleye pollock”. The Alaskan Walleye pollock is in fact not a “type of Walleye”, it’s cod, a bottom feeder and much more comparable to a bullhead than a Walleye. This is the same type of fish used in the McDonald’s Fish Filet sandwich and any other fish item at a fast food restaurant because it’s dirt cheap compared to the Walleye that we South Dakota natives have come to know so well and adore. I’m all for small business, especially local businesses in or near my hometown of Yankton, however when a company is knowingly marketing a menu item strictly for margins and to turn a profit, calling it one thing, yet serving their customers another, that’s a problem in my book. Last summer I took my family out to the Dam Fish shack and ordered their “Alaskan Walleye” and it was pretty clear what was going on by the quality of what ended up on my plate. Sadly, I paid for 4 full meals, yet after standing in line for nearly an hour to get our food, I noticed we were missing our sides for all meals. When I asked a lady working why we got no sides yet paid full price for the meals she said they “ran out”. I asked if I could get some money back or at least a substitution for the missing sides and she simply said no. So not only does this business use deceptive marketing tactics to make a buck and delete their customer’s questions and comments on Facebook about what they’re actually serving, they also don’t care about them once they’ve got their money in their pocket. This is not the type of place I will be voting for with my dollars in the future. (Please note: I was blocked from this establishments Facebook page for posting this review).
