Food was pretty good. The atmosphere was pretty good as well. What stood out the most was the customer service. Our server made sure that we were alright and treated us with genuine kindness. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was so SO good!!! Finally got a night out with my husband and we're so glad we chose to go to Shrimp Heads. They did not disappoint in the slightest! The snow crab was to die for! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was so calm & was perfect for a date night.

I got here at noon when the place opened. The guy at the counter was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. My food came out very quickly. I ordered the calamari for an appetizer I asked if we could fry the calamari hard because I’ve had experiences where they hit or miss. He said “well, the harder you fry at the chewy or gets I think we’ve perfected our calamari. Try it. “ I must say it is probably some of the best calamari I’ve ever had.

I discovered this place during COVID and found myself constantly ordering the food. I always get the shrimp boil and it never disappoints. After the shutdown I started going in and I just love the environment. The service is excellent. The staff is so friendly and there is usually some 90s rnb playing in the background. The atmosphere- the food- the staff 10/10 recommend.

This place is an absolute gem! Fabulous food, service and drinks. We got the fried catfish + Cajun fries, seafood boil (shrimp + snow crab), fried calamari plus two cocktails. Everything was super delicious and flavorful. The drinks were very refreshing (recommend the sweet citrus). Ended dinner with a fried Oreo and ice cream. We will be back for sure!!

A lot of seafood boils really try to emulate popular places, but this doesn’t. They know the food and service speak for itself. The price for the food is really the best part, with how satisfied I left, I feel like I robbed them. Such a great place and will definitely come back

I went here last week for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. Even better than I could have hoped for. Good food and Our server, Dwayne was so kind and attentive, he is truly what made the experience 5 stars! It was a Wednesday night so it wasn’t busy, we got to just walk in. Very calm, clean environment. The food was delicious, I would have preferred mine more seasoned but it was definitely fresh. You do have to add the corn, potatoes, etc separately for an additional cost. The calamari was perfect with a large portion size. Tried the deep fried Oreo with ice cream and it was sooo good, the perfect ending to the meal!

Overall, this was the perfect combination of great local food, extremely reasonable prices, and kid-friendly. While the seafood was fresh and tasted amazing, we have to rate the Manager/Server even higher, as he was amazing with the kids and convinced them to try to new things, which they loved. Thanks so much!
