Shrimp po boy never fails!

This restaurant hands down has the best po'boy I've ever had. The jumbo shrimp is delectable and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy! The staff was kind and efficient hard workers. The atmosphere is laid back and has a cool vintage shrimp boat aesthetic 10/10

Hi
I rate you fine don’t mean I like your food.
I told you to bring a good shrimp, but lacks a good test.
$12.07 still like I am eating stones without a test.
Might be your oil isn’t perfect
Was just showing on Saturday
It’s a worst shrimp. No test. No value on this fine Saturday.
You can’t do a good food, just a name.
I will not come again.
Most restaurants use oneself comments.
Just go and understand a regular costumer demand.
I saw this place just driving by and I needed a quick snack. The people were plenty friendly. Ordering was easy. The jumbo shrimp were fairly priced. However, there was no seasoning in the breading or on the shrimp. That's fine if you like that but I was hoping for more in the flavor category. It just wasn't there for me. Good place in a pinch.

Huge shrimp, super tasty
Nice small restaurant, there was plenty of street parking which is always nice. I ordered a large shrimp, shrimp poboy and a fried shrimp wrap. Food was average nothing amazing nothing bad I will say the breading they used was super crunchy and hard. I genetically have real bad teeth and one of my front tooth is dead. I took one bite into the shrimp I was like wow this is super crunchy and hard to chew, they put way too much breading on. whole time half of my tooth chipped off ? which ended up being a good thing. It was easy to pull the rest of the tooth out later. I guess they saved me $1000 dentist visit. so they get a bonus star for that. And the staff were nice.

Spouse was craving a shrimp po’boy and Captain Shrimp served up a great one! I had the crab cake sandwich and it was almost too much. We did get the fries and hushpuppies because that’s what you do when they’re available and they were really good. Their sauces were good and I found myself partial to their hot sauce though their tartar sauce was also really good. Favorite new place for fried seafood and will be back again.

I’ve been here twice my first time was phenomenal I had the jerk wrap and the wings the wings was so good reason why I came back the wrap was good as well I feel like they could’ve added more chicken it was literally about 4-5 pieces of chicken throughout the entire wrap it was flavorful tho so my second experience which is today I got a pound of wings I guess to save on food they gave me 4 super big a** drums blewwww me!!! Last time I came I had a mix of drums and flats but I only got the 3/4 pound of chicken I also tried the catfish strips don’t like em at all way too fishy Thai will be my last time for $25 I’m blew just off these overly steroid drum I got oh and for the toddler side of potato salad was decent taste store bought but not bad.

My new favorite place. I have ordered their jumbo shrimp, fried fish, mushroom, and hush puppies which were all really good. However, I tried their Cajun shrimp burrito the other day and holy s***. I split it with my husband so we both could try and immediately regretted it. It was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time! My new favorite for sure!!! You have to try it if you eat here. Also I’ve done delivery every time and it’s arrived very quickly and still hot. Great job!

Haven't been here since it was Scrappy shrimp and only stoped to wait for my son by the train and walked in not much has changed no frills atmosphere. Ordered basic 1lb shrimp seemed heavily breaded and when asked for some water there was none available...no cups no water just like that..don't remember a sorry..seemed very odd..and quite uncomfortable after that exchange.

Randomly littering Chicago neighborhoods with your unsolicited flyers all over our street is NOT ok...
To make this review legit and stick, I even tried the food. 1/5 stars. Practice better business and treat your employees right.
