Your Guide to the Most Authentic Caribbean Meal in Harker Heights

The Shack Caribbean Seafood & Grill has some of the freshest and most delicious seafood dishes I’ve had in a while. They also put their own spin on signature Caribbean dishes like stuffed plantains, ceviche, empanadas, seafood boils, octopus, and conch, just to name a few. You definitely don’t want to miss their amazing food or their signature sauces.

I’m personally obsessed with the white wine garlic sauce. I could eat that all by itself! I like to dip mofongo in the sauce and just go to town.
