Shrimp Basket Montgomery

The food and service were fantastic! I enjoyed the all-you-can-eat shrimp, which came with a dozen oysters and a slice of lime cake. Everything was delicious!

We absolutely loved it! We visited for the first time and will definitely be back. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Although I'm not usually a fan of fish, the white fish was the best I've ever had. The tartar sauce is made in-house, using their own special recipe. My partner enjoyed it as well, claiming it was the best he's ever tasted. You definitely get your money's worth here, and they have daily specials too. So good!

I enjoyed the all-you-can-eat option, and it was fantastic. Since I'm not a fan of garnishes, my waitress was quick to suggest a substitution. The cheeses were delicious. My waitress, Natasha, was very kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful.

@FooDiNames —We ordered the popcorn shrimp basket, fried calamari, Cajun catfish platter, a Shirley temple, and a mermaid cocktail. Overall the service was excellent!! The atmosphere was really great with a down home welcoming feel to it. The floor was messy but we came during a party and there were random bits of paper about under the tables. The impressive be part is the food and as delivered promptly in spite of having the large party there. The food was full of flavor EXCEPT for the shrimp. What’s going on guys??!!!?? The string beans were seasoned to perfection, the calamari was obviously not fresh but not bad, the drinks were done well and much like the plating it lacked an overall professional polish. The shrimp coleslaw was advertised all throughout the menu and it was a normal nice tasting coleslaw with small shrimp added. It’s more of a soul food restaurant that serves seafood rather than the New Orleans food experience you’d expect coming here based on the menu choices and overall ambiance of the restaurant. The catfish was savory, smoky, and spicy but there was a complete and total lack of flavor in the shrimp. They have home made ranch sauce that pairs nicely enough with the shrimp to help you enjoy the meal well enough though. The smiles on everyone’s faces is uniquely welcoming like walking into your grandmothers kitchen. We’d recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area just don’t order the shrimp!

We ate here once and the meal and service were good. With a name like Shrimp Basket I was prepared to be blown away by how good the shrimp were, but they were just okay. To me they are just your standard, probably frozen, fried shrimp. I was kind of hoping we would feel like we were getting food you get at the beach, but it was more like standard fast food.
