The food and ambience of this restaurant is amazing. Low key. Great restaurant all the way around. I will be back.
We had an excellent lunch today. The jambalaya was very good, and tasted like we've had in New Orleans. The blackened grouper sandwich was fantastic. The grouper was very fresh and blackened perfectly. Very good service. Will be returning soon!
Great super casual strip mall spot with top notch fresh seafood. Dan provided great service as well. We see why they are in the top 10!!! We made the trip from Loves Park, IL and will definitely be back. (We tried the crab cakes, and shrimp appetizers along with snow and king crab, seared scallops, lobster roll and even fries and garlic bread are good.). Also got the key lime tart since we were celebrating my birthday. Everything was great, thanks!

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.
