Filipp's has been around since 1951. Our family has eaten here many many many times over the last 60 years. The quality of the food has never changed, and neither has the customer service, and southern hospitality. If you've never experienced a small town, well grounded, countrified establishment, then this place needs to be on your bucket list. read more

We went there for dinner tonight Hubby had The 5 way shrimp & it was amazing and delicious. I had the fried shrimp. They are the best in the county. Stop in on a Friday evening to try these special treats read more

Let's be honest, not much beats southern comfort cooking and Filipps does just that. Having grown up on their food I know it's all damn good. The fried seafood is really where it's at. Whatever you order, make sure to get a side of ranch because it's so good. Service is usually friendly and quick, bathrooms are clean and most nights there's a parking spot available. read more

Great burgers and I'm sure the rest of the menu is good as well. Amazing staff and the place felt like home on the inside. First timer here and I have lived in brazoria county my whole life and never been here. Will be back again for sure. Thank y'all so much for the delicious burger and fries read more

The food and service is always great. Every time I get to Danbury this is my stop. I wish I was closer

Haven't been here in a long time but the cooking hasn't changed. Still the best shrimp & CFS in all of Brazoria County. Had the sweetest & cutest servers-Montana & McKenzie. This place stayed full all the time we were there. EXCELLENT CFS & fried shrimp, quick service, clean building. Nice wide tables, just the best all around. Can't go wrong with Filipp's Cafe. Great salads as well. No complaints-give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Service was excellent just like lunch. Chop steak perfect with mashed potatoes was a good choice Will be back again. read more

It's the small town restaurant in Danbury been going here for years. Basically, southern home cooking as the genre. My kids feel it's the best fried okra. read more

When I tell you it's worth the drive to get your seafood from Filipp's, I mean it. No matter where I've lived in my lifetime, every time I come down to our family bayhouse, I go to Filipp's. I have eaten here since my childhood, and can say without a doubt that they have the best shrimp and comfort food. You just feel at home. I was the recent winner of their shrimp dinner, and what I got far exceeded my expectations. Our family feasted at our annual 4th of July celebration. The staff even helped us carry it all to the car. Speaking of the staff, you will always get service that makes you feel like family. Love this sweet little restaurant in Danbury. read more

Filipp's Cafe - Shrimp dinner - Seafood Near Me - Danbury, Texas

Very good. Service was fantastic and you must have a burger but ask for the sweet sourdough bun. Yummy

We love doing to our local community restaurants! My favorite dish there is the Texas salad! Seriously crave it all the time! My husband loves the fried shrimp and his grand parents come all the way from Sweeny just to eat the shrimp also! They are perfectly prepared! read more

Oh man. This place is a hidden gem. Me and the hubby went for Saturday night date night. I got the Redfish Special and he got the steak. Both were spectacular. His steak was the size of the plate almost, and the flavor was on point. My Redfish was decadent with a creamy sauce on top. I only ate half to save room for the amazing peach cobbler. My husband had the chocolate cake. A little rich but fantastic. This is a walk into Grandma's kitchen. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Also, the staff was pleasant and attentive. A great 1st time experience. read more

The perfect little country cafe. We came around a very busy lunch rush on a Thursday. With that being said- the service and quality of food was great. The atmosphere is relaxed and everyone seemed to be enjoying their lunch. Today, I ordered the lunch special. Yummy chicken fried steak with the tastiest breading, mashed potatoes with gravy, bread, green beans... and they gave me peach cobbler with it. My sweet tooth rejoiced over the last part. It was all so good! I tried not to pig out, but when you have cooking like this in front of you it is hard not to clean your plate. The table wanted to try their pies, so we ordered two slices of chocolate pie to split up. The meringue on it was so nice! Again, one of those things you want to keep to yourself. Being graceful, and full of my previous dessert consumed, I allowed the chocolate pie to be shared. LOL. I honestly just laughed at the fact I starting eating the lunch plate before taking a picture to share here... and didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the pie. I have came here before and haven't been disappointed. The daily specials are delicious. Everything I've had has always been hot and tasty. All in all, we will be back again. This isn't some fancy date place or anything, but would be a cute little place to catch some lunch with your beau. read more

Filipp's Cafe - Seafood Near Me - Danbury, Texas

The food that I had was pretty good. I had the stuffed shrimp. They were pretty okay(prefer pappadeauxs). The pinto beans taste like they come out of a can but they taste like they added bacon grease to give it a better flavor. The fried okra is good and crunchy but is a little bland. The hush puppies tasted ok just a little too dry for me. I would definitely go back. Have to try the dessert to let me know if will be one my permanent spots. read more

Took our mom here for her birthday. Always had good food and service here before with the exception of the salads. Old, bagged salad with chunks of iceberg lettuce and one cherry tomato? Please! Until my plate arrived and I discovered a cockroach leg on my plate. Never again!! Too bad because the fried shrimp and seafood is usually great. read more

Sorry to say guys this wasn't the best visit. The food was good but service was seriously lacking this time. Server was very dismissive and was quite short with us. She got quite a few things wrong with our tables order and then I guess she left the restaurant after delivering our food and no one came back to check up on us. Refills were offered only once, sandwich was soggy and cold, etc etc. As a service industry worker, I'm pretty aware of the climate we're in right now and I get it but a bit more effort. Dropping almost $200 on a meal and cash tip you would hope for better. I'm hoping the servers that stayed on shift get more of a percentage of the tip left. She doesn't deserve it. ‍ read more

Well its my birthday today and a friend of mine wanted to take me to lunch, he said any place I wanted to go. Fhilip's Cafe in Dabbury Tx I said ,they have good old American food. The people that eat here, are about as down home as one can get. They have great waitresses and good service. Robert and I started out our meal with a ice tea, and a coke and two garden salads. Any one reading my reviews probably think that all I like is seafood, but not so, but today I just couldn't resist, yes you might have guessed it, fried shrimp,catfish, hush puppies, and a loaded baked potato and my friend had fried shrimp, hush puppies and french fries, and I new when i saw all that food , that half was going to go home with me, so come hungry. Of course we know that this all takes place back in the kitchen, and the cooks are the real heroes, and they have a great one here, so we need to give credit, where credit is due. Filip's keep on keeping on. Thanks Rick A read more

Love the fried shrimp. Hands down the best. Portion sizes are plentiful and for the amount of food you get, totally worth the price. I've never dined in, my husband grabs to go plates on his way home from work. However, he loves it too because I always see debits from him grabbing food on his way to work! read more

Great food, great service. I absolutely love the steak dinner here. They give you enough that you can have steak and eggs the next morning!

We enjoyed the atmosphere in this little town. Would recommend to anyone. We eat at this cafe for lunch when we work in this town.

Service to die for and food that will make you come back. We came her with a local for breakfast. They custom made a breakfast burrito for me as I do not do eggs except in pound cake. It was excellent! We came back alone for dinner for the shrimp. We got the 12 piece fried plate with salad and baked potato. The shrimp are Gulf variety, butterflied, and breaded to perfection. Six would have been enough for all but the biggest eaters. I had 15 as my friend could not eat all 12. Salad was fresh (yea!) and dressings tasted home made. Baked potato was done to perfection and my NE preppy request for onions, jalapenos and gravy was accommodated graciously. Fun, friendly place with superior food. Who could ask for more? Will return when in area again, so should you. read more

Great breakfast. We ordered the regular two egg special. They had no problem adding gravy to the biscuits and got the eggs perfectly "over hard". The staff was very friendly, they kept the coffee coming and the food came out of the kitchen fast. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. Wonderful little place for breakfast. read more

Excellent fried shrimp! Stopped in here on the way to Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge and it was definitely worth the few extra minutes out of the way. read more

As teachers, on a schedule, you guys have been accommodating about getting us all in and out. We appreciate it. And as always, the food is GREAT!! Thank you. read more

I have lived in Danbury for a long time. Filipp's has been here longer. This is the place where people meet up and just have a good meal. They have some really good southern food here. The dishes that I really like are their shrimp platter, buffalo chicken tenders, and deep fried jalapeño strips. The service is also good, and they are sure to recognize regulars. There's a reason this place has been here so long. So come and try it out for yourself! read more

Found this place on a whim driving back from the coast and was very pleasantly surprised. At first take the building looks questionable, but after you walk in you realize you came to the right place. Inside is a very Texas themed diner with plenty of trophy mounts to stare at and paintings that screenshot the costal locale. The staff was very courteous and the service was excellent. The Waitress kept our drinks filled and made sure everything was to our liking. Comfort is the theme here and the food followed suite. For the price, a man can not find a complaint. Much like my Texas families thanksgiving, except we usually don't make fried shrimp that good! My only complaint would be the off taste of the tea. They must use the local water and I'm sure it is heavily chlorinated out of the well. I did however, drink the whole glass. If I could describe this place in one word it would be Casserole. The good kind too. Though there might not be any casseroles on the menu, Filipp's makes you feel like you just had lunch with your family on a cool fourth Thursday in November, and are gearing up out of the food coma to play some dominoes with your loved ones. read more

The special tonight was there seafood special which included three hush puppies several tempura fried shrimp almost a full cup full of oil and peel shrimp bacon and jalapeño wrapped shrimp stuffed shrimp,Choice of vegetable or side and a salad. Huge meal. Unfortunately I did not have room for the homemade peach cobbler! Next time! read more

If you're looking for excellent fried shrimp and great friendly service this is the place to go

My wife and I came in about 8 pm (they close at 9) on a Monday. The placed was being "slammed" unexpectedly because this small town had a 5th grade play, and "everyone" in town went here to eat after the play. Our waitress was rushing around, but still managed to get our drinks and take our order in just a few minutes. It appeared half of the patrons were eating and half were just starting to get their food. Our fried shrimp dinners were brought to us hot in only 15-20 minutes, and was great as usual. They really hustled and did a great job tonight. read more

Great shrimp and catfish. Wanted oysters but they were out. Grilled mixed vegetables were good.
