Haven't been here in a few years and boy was it not the same. The food was just aight. Crabcakes were soggy, sliders were extremely small and overcooked and the Killer Shrimp and Lobster soup was so underwhelming. I've been coming here for decades and the broth was not the same. Watery and the bowl wasn't even halfway filled. I will say the lobster was spot on! And the manager came by the table. I told him exactly what was all wrong and all they ended up offering was a free dessert. And it was my cousin's birthday which I noted on my reservation. All in all, I definitely won't be back. Sad.

We loved our experience! I ordered the shrimp and broth. My husband had shrimp and pasta! The recipe was just like we remembered from YEARS ago! We were scared it would have changed, BUT IT DIDN'T ! We flew in from PHX to eat there! Our service was fantastic but this server who had a FANTASTIC vibe. I think her name was Kaileigh! Can't wait to return!

The 5 of us had a lovely day. We were celebrating friendship of almost 50 years! The service and food was outstanding! Thanks for taking care of us.

This restaurant was awful! They told me I didn't have a reservation which I promptly showed them on my phone. We had the worst customer service with one person working the tables and the bar at the same time. It took over an hour for us to receive our food once we placed our order. No refills on drinks, no offer for dessert, no check in at all. When we went into the bathroom at the end of our meal, the bathroom was incredibly dirty, like it hadn't been attended to in hours. Gross!

Great place, great food. This is probably my 3rd or 4th time I've been to KS and it's very good every time. I don't even live in the state lol Their broth is amazing!

So many wrongs in 1 visit.
First, hostess was rude. We were a party of 2 and she gave us a face as if it was an inconvenience to seat us. We get sat right in front of the door leading to the outside area which was wide open so it was cold.
Second, our server comes and asks what we want to drink. We come to realize we never got a drink menu from the hostess so he goes to get us one. We had already waited a bit to be seen so we told the server our food order and asked for him to come back for our drinks and he did.
Third, it took nearly 40 minutes for our food to come. Thankfully I ordered an appetizer but by the time it came out, the app was long gone and our drinks were empty without ever an ask for refills or anything else.
Fourth, our food comes and my side salad was the oldest, most wilted arugula ever. I thought maybe it was under the heat lamp too long but I tasted it and it was disgusting. I asked the server for another and he brought me a fresh salad.
Everything was just generally bad. Yes it was busy when we got there but we did not wait to be seated and by the time we left which only took long because of how long we waited for our food, we were one of the few people left. Tables around us however that got seated after us had gotten their dinners and left well before we got to. Our orders weren't complicated ones, they were the original killer shrimp. This was the first time we've had such an experience and it was an embarrassing one at that because we came for a birthday dinner outing. We're second guessing coming again now.

Terrible service. They sat us down and no one ever approached our table. I was seeing a server walk past us and helping others who where sitting around but he never approached our table. After 30 minutes I approached him and he told us to get out and talk to the manager. I didn't talk to the manager but I did talk to the girls in the front who were very kind. They asked us who our server was but I couldn't answer that because we were never approached. All I could say was that he was a shinny short man with a mustache serving by the kitchen area next to the windows.

9/30/25 I was in town for business and wanted to have a nice dinner with my friend. Since she was dog sitting we needed a pet friendly spot and Killer Shrimp was perfect with their outdoor patio. The ambiance was very welcoming, inviting, and causal. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, shrimp tacos, mini crab cakes, and a garden salad with vinaigrette. Everything was absolutely delicious and so fresh. Our waitress Kali was so friendly and attentive which made the experience even better. The whole evening was top notch and I would definitely come back again.

Always love the classic killer shrimp! Spice is just right!
The Baseline: For a seafood fine dining the fish/seafood needs to be fresh, the presentation must excel beyond a casual seafood place, there must be a selection of accompanying offerings, and there are unique offerings.
Food: The Original Shrimp is what you come here for. Shrimp. Spicy broth base. Bread. That is the original with all its glory and I can remember when it was on the second story of a strip mall sitting above a Subway and Tajrish Kabob House. If you get the original it still holds up to my memories of it at its original location. Also the fries and lobster roll were good. The Snickers Pie was a decent desert. The Original is what holds up the food rating.
Service: The service was fine but we had a bit of waiting and we had to ask for the desert menu rather than have it offered. I also had to ask for water refills.
Ambiance: As much as I had nostalgia for the Washington Blvd location, eating your meal while overlooking the marina is far superior. This is a great location that the owners are really using to its best for the square footage of this place. The building holds the Killer Cafe (breakfast place) and a Speakeasy (bar). It is a great location. Relatively clean bathroom.

We’ve been coming to Killer Shrimp in the Marina for a while, and honestly the service here has always been hit or miss. But Tiffany completely changed our outlook on this place. She truly brightened our day with her warm, bubbly personality and outstanding service. She put the Happy in Happy Hour!
The view and the Happy Hour specials are already amazing, but Tiffany is the reason we’ll be coming back—just on the days we know she’s serving. Killer Shrimp, take note: she’s a gem!

After a night ride on my buddy’s boat in the marina, we docked right outside Killer Shrimp and headed in for dinner. 🚤 The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was awesome—everyone was so friendly.
I ordered the enchiladas and they were amazing—definitely my new favorite dish here! 🌮🔥 The appetizers were great, and the drinks hit the spot 🍹🍺.
Between the location, the food, and the service, this place is a gem. I’ll definitely be back and will be bringing my family and friends next time. 👏
