We love this chain! It’s easy on the pocket but big on the flavors and local favorites. Super kid friendly and senior friendly. Ample plates. Indoor and outdoor seating to find that comfortable atmosphere for everyone. It’s right beside several other shops and the beach. Our service was fantastic so friendly and accommodating as we had a young child and a 80+ senior.
Enjoyed our trip to the shrimp basket. I had the shrimp poboy, and my wife had the fried shrimp basket. Both were delicious. Hers came with their famous shrimp coleslaw. Let me tell you, I don't like coleslaw, but that was delicious. Fries on both plates were a good amount and tasted great. Service, even though they only had 2 waitress staff, was pretty good. You could see they were busy but got to everyone in a hurry they delivered our food nice and fresh.
Family friendly and kind staff. Convenient proximity to beachfronts hotels. We walked over and enjoyed a family dinner with a variety of meals from fried to grilled, and seasoned well. Very relaxed vibes and casual beach attire. Reasonable price points and great portion sizes.
Family of 4 on a Sunday night. Great service and food. We definitely recommend it. We had shrimp and grits, fried pickles, coconut shrimp
Love the food and the atomsphere is very relaxing, especially sitting outside on a nice day. The service was also outstanding.
In all my years visiting Pensacola, I’ve never tried this place until today. I was concerned it was average, but let me tell you, there’s nothing average about this Shrimp Basket!
They have bar seating, tabletop and outdoor space for eating. Chelsea gave wonderful service and suggestions. I took her advice and tried the Boom Boom shrimp tacos. Wow! Absolutely delicious! 2 tacos with a semi spicy kick, fries and coleslaw. Everything was fantastic! They serve the tacos with a cucumber ranch that was perfect for dipping my fries (I didn’t want to put it on my tacos because they were perfect with the sauce they were cooked in). SB also has great sweet tea. I’m so glad I finally tried this place. $15.14 without tip. It was the least expensive meal of my trip, but the best! That’s a good value! I will return on my next visit. Very pleased!
Hannah banana is a wonderful server! So sweet, kind and attentive! The food was so good and the service amazing!! Such a fun place to eat! To be honest, every one of the girls you have in there are do super sweet!! Thank you Shrimp basket!! A+++++
We had dinner at the Pensacola Beach location. The food was great but the service was outstanding. Mae was our server and she was delightful!! She had a radiant smile and sunny personality. She was great at her job: made us feel welcome, checked on us several times, and got our orders exactly right (without writing them down). Would definitely eat there again and hope to have Mae as our server.
Great food and reasonable prices. Seafood is their specialty. The wait staff is very friendly and polite. Good value for the price. Inside dining and patio dining.
Shrimp Basket is always our any time of day stop. Always delicious. Always great service. Always worth the stop.” We LOVE Krista and her staff! Would HIGHLY recommend. Best Oysters on the Street! -Sean 3 year return customer!
The food here is excellent! Like seriously good eats. The raw oysters are HUGE! They are so so so good! The oyster poboy was tasty! We also had grilled flounder and aix of fried items. All were delicious! This place is 100% better than shaggys down the street in my opinion.
The 2 women working tonight are so friendly and made you feel special as soon as you walked in the door. The fried shrimp was the best I have ever had. The homemade tarter sauce is amazing. I might have to eat here again tomorrow!
Great service, though it was a Saturday evening, and food came out hot and appetizing. I ordered the grilled whitefish platter, Cajun style, with okra as my side. As I don’t eat shrimp, I requested to sub fries, which was easily accommodated. Iced tea was great, brewed, not the bitter or boxed stuff. The photo doesn’t do the food justice, as I dove in before I remembered to snap a pic! My husband just shared my sides and had coffee and water, as he’d eaten more recently than me. Nice, clean atmosphere and pleasant music, mostly newish country, not too loud, so we were able to visit. Our server Allie was very patient with our questions and helped me decide among options based on my preferences. She was very knowledgeable about their menu. We love far from here but we’re happy with our seaside dinner with a view and would recommend it to anyone wanting a reasonably priced restaurant option along the beach.
Enjoyed shrimp and grits for lunch. Delicious. Sat on the covered patio because the weather was mild and perfect.
VERY good food! I had the shrimp basket. The shrimp was crispy and not overcooked. The fries were hot and crunchy. The coleslaw I didn't like at all. My wife had coconut shrimp salad. She loved it. We will be back.
The food was fresh and awesome. Happy to have grilled fish that was healthy and had fabulous sauce on top. So tired of fried foods other places are serving. Our waitress, Britt, was very nice and helpful. Definitely will be back! Worth the drive down to this beach area while heading back to Texas.
I spend a good bit of time traveling and had the pleasure of having dinner at the Shrimp Basket in Pensacola Beach across from the Hilton.
Hannah served me and was simply outstanding! There’s no question that she would be running any of my businesses if I could afford her, but the fact is she’s earning a bunch right now for a reason!
Clearly one of the best servers I have had and a huge asset to this restaurant. This young lady is the upsell Queen and is performing at the top of her game. Great employee and superior service.
Thank you!
