Shrimp Basket

The food was great. The service was awesome, and the restaurant was clean?😁👍

I ate at this restaurant last Saturday before a football game and it was truly a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was very fast. We were greeted by no less than 5 of the staff including one of the owners/management as we were getting out of our car who invited us to a shrimp boil they were having in the parking lot as a dining option. The staff was SO nice and we were checked on a lot but not in an annoying way. Everyone was SO nice. I will definitely eat here again. Don't pass this one by!!

We moved down here from Birmingham and my husband wanted the pasta and I got the garlic butter crab boil. The pasta was dry the bread was hard. The only thing in crab boil that I could eat was the crab legs. The shrimp look like they was frozen and unthawed out, the sausages wasn't done, potatoes taste like they wasn't washed off and the flavor was nothing but the water they cook the things in. So disappointed.

I really like how friendly the server and host were. The food was very great and the shrimp tasted like authentic gulf shrimp, not too raw and not too fried.

I reviewed this location two years ago and it was wonderful. This time I ordered the same thing that I did last time which was the white fish and it was absolutely horrible. I told that to the waiter and he did absolutely nothing about it so he really wasn't doing his job as a waiter as if I was an employee I would go straight to the manager with a problem

WARNING!! Do not take off your shoes when exiting the building, thinking you’ll be stepping on a sandy white beach..cause YEP..the seafood is sooo fresh you’ll think you’re at the Gulf! We haven’t eaten here in a while but the change in management to Mrs. Royster has clearly made the difference. (last time we ate here, we had strands of red hair in our shrimp & grits). This time, our Server was Amanda, a sweet young Lady that was soo nice, well mannered, and SUPER efficient. She was there ON SPOT throughout the meal, making the whole experience totally excellent. Every bite was delicious, Gumbo was the best I’ve tasted in a long while, Gulf shrimp was cooked to a crispy perfection and the salads with the great trimmings couldn’t have been or better…and I could go on. Thank you for a most delightful meal and we look forward to coming back as often as possible.

I definitely enjoyed the fried shrimp basket I ordered. It was hot and fresh. The Manager made sure to come over and ask us how our meal was and if we needed anything else. He and his staff were very pleasant. I look forward to stopping by on my next visit to Tuscaloosa.
