Excellent, cozy, corner restaurant for tasty Cajun food. Portions are on point and there's a variety of choices from bowls, boils, and poboys.

First time here and the food was really tasty. I tried the Miami poboy, and shrimp with fries. The staff were friendly and their lemonade was good as well. I will definitely be back!

Very good flavor on the fries, fried shrimp and fish. It's worth a try for sure, but it was borderline salty on one of the dishes. It was very clean for sure. You want fresh seafood, then give them a try. I would say pass on the friend crab legs. Not worth it because the whole leg is literally fried. They aren't soft shelled crabs either. The whole point of something fried is to enjoy it directly on what you're eating, at least in my opinion. Give them a try.

Mr. Shrimp is a small South Florida fast-casual seafood chain with three locations, offering a cleaner, more modern take on the familiar “boil-in-a-bag and fried basket” formula. The space is bright and surprisingly polished with white tile walls, blond wood tables, and cheerful lighting; more design-forward than most Cajun seafood joints. A display case at the counter showcases the day’s (frozen) seafood selection — snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, and lobster tails — alongside signs for house-made sauces and banana pudding.
Service was quick, about five minutes from order to table. Rachel’s crab-and-shrimp combo arrived steaming hot and properly cooked, generously coated in a deep red-orange Cajun spice mix that looked great but hit hard on salt. The seasoning is heavy — a paprika-colored dusting laced with cayenne, garlic, and herbs, applied both in the boil and again on top. Crack a shell or lick your fingers and it’s an instant salt bomb. The crab itself was clean-tasting and stored correctly, free of freezer burn.
My fried shrimp platter looked picture-perfect (see photo): shrimp cooked properly with a crisp, non-greasy coating, though flavor-wise it wasn’t a “wow” fried shrimp by any means. Fries were solid, and the garlic bread a pleasant extra.
It’s a spotless, well-run local operation that clearly takes pride in presentation and efficiency. If you’re in Lighthouse Point and craving crab legs, it’s a safe, fast, and visually appealing stop. But with a dozen similar spots within fifteen minutes of Coral Springs, it’s more of a convenient local option than a destination.

I was really craving a crab boil so we read some reviews and gave here a try. I was throughly unimpressed. The sausage was super over cooked and so dry couldn’t eat it. The potatoes weren’t cut up at all so they had no chance to soak in any flavor or juices. The corn you can tell isn’t cooked in the boil, it had no flavor so was just boiled itself and dropped in. The crab was okay but okay at best. Didn’t seem that fresh to me and can tell again wasn’t cooked with the flavor just had it slapped on at the end. Overall I’d give it 2.5 half stars but pretty upset I dropped a $100 here for two people and it’s was very meh at best. Polite staff at least.
