Excellent food!! We usually settle for takeout but finally managed to eat in. Food was great: fried scallops were very good and juicy. All fish is fresh and our server, I think he was the owner as well, was extremely personable and helpful. The chicken was juicy. My only wish is for more honey on the fried chicken to really hit home with the sweet/savory combo!!
I shared a fantastic meal with my husband here. The lobster bisque was amazing! Everything was delicious. I had blackened jumbo shrimp and sweet potato fries. My husband had perch and he said it was also amazing. The owner/chef was personable and friendly. From start to finish, not a single complaint.
Really enjoyed ourselves here, it's a local restaurant for us and we were so glad to meet the chef. His stories were fun and he's an excellent cook. I enjoyed the Grouper dish and my husband had Seafood Combo...those hushpuppies were the real deal and ate with the lobster 🦞 bisque, which was so good. We'll be back to dine and drink.
Food was very good. Alligator was done right, not chewy. My endless fish was well seasoned and not overcooked. Shrimp was very tasty. Only thing i didn't like was they don't give very much tartar sauce, I had to continuously request more. The waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about the food either.
Rob is awesome. Rob runs the the Shrimp Barn and makes the best grilled shrimp taco’s ever. Never thought I would mix shrimp with taco’s but there the best I ever had. No one could make better then the Shrimp Barn. Thanks again Rob for another great treat. Money well spent.
First time here, won’t be my last. Started with the bacon wrapped shrimp with jalapeño- really good! I went with the fried shrimp and catfish combo. I was a bit hesitant at first as the fried cooking style is without flour or egg, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. My wife went with coconut shrimp which she assured me was really good. I’ll have to take her word for it as she didn’t offer me a bite. The atmosphere is an actual antique store with many things for sale. Highly recommend! I forgot to take a picture of my dinner plate as I was too excited to dive in...
Good little seafood restaurant in the middle of Nowhere, IL. Unique atmosphere and plenty of seafood options from fried to grilled. Went early on a Wednesday evening and it was very slow. Had the gator, shrimp stuffed, bacon wrap jalapenos and strip steak. Salad was not very good and the smashed cauliflower was presented in a plastic cup and was pedestrian at best. If I lived in this town, I would visit regularly for the seafood.
