Shrimp Basket Montgomery

@FooDiNames —We ordered the popcorn shrimp basket, fried calamari, Cajun catfish platter, a Shirley temple, and a mermaid cocktail. Overall the service was excellent!! The atmosphere was really great with a down home welcoming feel to it. The floor was messy but we came during a party and there were random bits of paper about under the tables. The impressive be part is the food and as delivered promptly in spite of having the large party there. The food was full of flavor EXCEPT for the shrimp. What’s going on guys??!!!?? The string beans were seasoned to perfection, the calamari was obviously not fresh but not bad, the drinks were done well and much like the plating it lacked an overall professional polish. The shrimp coleslaw was advertised all throughout the menu and it was a normal nice tasting coleslaw with small shrimp added. It’s more of a soul food restaurant that serves seafood rather than the New Orleans food experience you’d expect coming here based on the menu choices and overall ambiance of the restaurant. The catfish was savory, smoky, and spicy but there was a complete and total lack of flavor in the shrimp. They have home made ranch sauce that pairs nicely enough with the shrimp to help you enjoy the meal well enough though. The smiles on everyone’s faces is uniquely welcoming like walking into your grandmothers kitchen. We’d recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area just don’t order the shrimp!

We ate here once and the meal and service were good. With a name like Shrimp Basket I was prepared to be blown away by how good the shrimp were, but they were just okay. To me they are just your standard, probably frozen, fried shrimp. I was kind of hoping we would feel like we were getting food you get at the beach, but it was more like standard fast food.

Food was ok. Not seasoned. Drinks are really good. Service is pretty good and friendly Inspection score is 80!! Unacceptable. Should be closed until issues corrected. Dinning area floor was slick with grease. Several of us customers almost bust our butts. Had to hold on to chairs. This is likely the result of using the same mop for kitchen and dining area.

I ordered a crab cake burger and the and the beef patty was not cooked properly it was rare. Not good for my first time

This is by far the worst Shrimp basket in the chain. It is dirty, the tables are sticky and the food is horrible. I got the crab cakes and they were burnt so I asked for some not burnt and they brought me some but they tasted like they were cooked in a dirty pan. The new potatoes had been sitting in water for so long they had NO flavor. The only good thing was our waitress. She was good. I do not recommend this Shrimp basket.
