O'Steen's Restaurant

Best shrimp ever!!! Blast from the past adventure.

BEST SHRIMP IN TOWN!!!!!!

This was the worst seafood dinner I think I ever had. First the good. Shrimp, coleslaw hush puppies very good. The scallops were refrozen with no flavor at all and separated from the breading , same for the oysters. The fish was overdone and wet and sloppy, all at the same time. The crab cake was so over seasoned, it was uneatable and all for 27.00 with no adjustment in price and three extra shrimp to make up for 4 main items that I couldn't eat. Also, don't go at the 11:00 opening time unless you want to have an evangelist hit you with her ideas of Christianity for 5 minutes before they let you in.

"World famous" probably gets thrown around more than it should, but in this case it's the literal truth. The BEST fried shrimp I've ever had, and I'm a Florida native whose been to hundreds of seafood restaurants, including Dixie Crossroads. The shrimp was tender, flavorful, the perfect amount of crispy, all without being greasy. Coleslaw and hush puppies were noteworthy as well. Definitely worth an hour drive or more and however long the wait is.

THEY ONLY TAKE CASH** wish they would have told me that when I called before coming in

Just like everyone says ‘Don’t even look at the menu just order the fried shrimp’ They were lighter than Tempura we’ve had and the Hush Puppies could have floated up n away-fresh n tastier than most around

I couldn't even begin to understand why this place is rated so high. Maybe I missed something but... The biscuits were bland, The french fries were undercooked and soggy, the catfish had no flavor and my kids didn't even like the chicken strips... Which were rather tiny.

It's hard to find parking. They only take cash and do not take cards. The only thing I can say that's positive is that the staff seems nice enough.

Parking: It's usually difficult to find parking during peak hours in this area.
