The Original Island Shrimp House is a cozy spot with a diverse menu that caters to everyone's tastes. The seafood options are a highlight, featuring standout dishes like the Lobster Roll, Crab Cake Sliders, and Breaded Shrimp. Guests have praised the Lobster Roll for having 50% more meat, with fresh and flavorful lobster. The Jambalaya soup also stands out with its nice kick, and the cornbread is semi-sweet, pairing well with the spices. The Diablo Shrimp is cooked to perfection, although some found the Diablo sauce to be a bit sour. The mussels in white wine basil sauce were tasty but noted for being overly salty.
The attentive service and quality food make it a great value, though some guests have mentioned that service can be inconsistent during busy times. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with a few tight spots. Visitors can also enjoy the Clam Chowder and a decent beer selection in this nice area. It’s recommended to call ahead for larger groups due to limited seating. Overall, the Original Island Shrimp House is recognized as a top seafood destination, with many looking forward to returning for more delicious meals.
