I found out about The Tackle Box Southern Seafood & More when LA Eater published a story about them opening a store, after having a food truck for many years! It's a small galley style restaurant with the counter and the kitchen on the left and the dining room on the right side of the building. It's dark with the only lights, the daylight from the windows.
Fish and Shrimp tackle box-$15 plus $10 for lobster, with mac and cheese. You have your choice of fried or grilled seafood. I got the grilled lobster and the fried shrimp. The shrimp was very good! Good flavor, and huge pieces of shrimp! The batter was very good, not as hard as other cornmeal batter. This could have been great if this was made to order. The shrimp was maybe warm, not hot. But, fresh out of the fryer, this would be great!!
The lobster was good. A bit on the small side, but tender and flavorful. It was grilled with lemon butter.
Service is ok. The lady taking the order is just going through the motions. She isn't mean or unfriendly, but you know she doesn't want to be there! They also charge extra, I think 45 cents if you use debit or credit cards!
I would go back for the shrimp and to try the fish, but I won't rush back.
