Smack Shack at The 1029 Bar on Marshall Street Northeast in Minneapolis brought serious Gulf and Atlantic seafood to a Northeast Minneapolis dive bar setting, pairing lobster rolls, crab boils, and the kind of fresh seafood that most Minneapolis diners had to travel to the coasts to find with the no-pretension atmosphere of a neighborhood bar that has been anchoring its corner since long before seafood was on anybody’s mind. It appeared in Season 14, Episode 2 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Streamlined Sammies,” which aired April 9, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Minneapolis bar kitchen doing lobster rolls and crab boils with the quality that earns a landlocked city its seafood destination reputation.

What to Eat
The Lobster Roll — cold Maine lobster with light mayo on a toasted top-split bun — is the signature that built Smack Shack’s Minneapolis reputation and the item most first-timers order on the recommendation of anyone who has been before. The Crab Boil with seasonal crab, corn, potatoes, and andouille in a spiced broth is the communal order worth building a group visit around. The Shrimp Po-Boy on a toasted roll with remoulade is the sandwich that earns its own following. The Craft Beer Selection at The 1029 Bar is as carefully considered as the seafood menu.
