    Great food, generous portions. Service was quick and efficient. Our food was delivered hot, and everything was correct. If you are going for dinner, I would recommend going early (5:00 or 5:30), or make a reservation. We liked everything so much, we ate here 2 nights in a row.

    Our server Desirae was fantastic, she greeted us right off the bat and I knew she was going to be exceptional! I typically don't care for any fried food when it comes to seafood. My wife ordered the fried platter and it was fantastic, not greasy, not soggy, not overcooked. Amazingly...I liked it! The hush puppies were so light and airy, I haven't had any like those before. I ordered the Crab and Shrimp au gratin, delicious! The stuffed mushrooms and the coconut shrimp were very good. Definitely a place in Savannah to return to!

    Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so happy to hear Desirae made such a great impression and that the food exceeded your expectations—especially the fried platter and hush puppies! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed everything from the au gratin to the coconut shrimp. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Savannah!

    Our drinks were served to us in plastic disposable cups because they did not have clean glasses available to serve us. We ordered calamari as our appetizer however it never arrived. I think the waitress actually gave it to the wrong table. We ordered boiled shrimp which was overcooked making it difficult to peel. We also ordered crab stuffed flounder which was very heavy on the salt. I think there are better options available if you looking for good seafood.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on March 10, 2025
    We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Serving drinks in disposable cups due to a lack of clean glasses is not the standard we strive for, and missing an appetizer is certainly frustrating. We appreciate your feedback on the boiled shrimp and crab-stuffed flounder and will share your comments with our kitchen team. Thank you for your honest review—we’ll use it to improve moving forward.

    Me and my party of 3 were welcomed with smiles. We were seated immediately. We had a very nice waitress named Liz. She was super attentive and answered all of our questions about the menu. All of our food came out piping hot and so very flavorful and delicious. Will return in the future.
