    12 piece fried shrimp - Delicious !!!
    James W.

    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.

    This hidden gem is hidden in Danbury and been serving great food for years! Took my family for Father's Day lunch and it was packed. They were hustling getting orders and food out quickly. Good home cooked meals in a small town atmosphere.

    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.

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

    Been here before but I've been craving it recently for a particular reason I'll mention later on…read more First, I gotta give praise to the decor and layout. Very vibrant and unique, with a neat outdoor area and amazing TV placement for those who care about that. Even their to-go counter is well decorated and themed! I can't comment on the atmosphere since both times I've been it's been relatively quiet, but I'd imagine on a busy night this place could have a fun atmosphere. Joshua was our server and he did a good job, and our food came out relatively fast, so no issues with service. As for the food however, I can't be as positive. Last time I had the Mahi Mahi and thought it was fine enough. This time I decided to try one of their burgers. I'll be honest, I like my burgers pretty plain, which is its own can of worms. Point being, the bun tasted very odd and almost stale, and the patty was very mushy and lacked flavor. The signature sauce was also unappetizing, with it being some sort of distant cousin of mustard or potentially a very odd Thousand Islands? I'm not sure if additional toppings would save this considering the unappealing foundation. It just left me very unfulfilled. The milkshakes on the other hand? Fantastic. Definitely the highlight. It was just as good as the last time I went. I haven't been to many other places that matches the quality of here. Could not recommend more. I've yet to try the chicken or other fish so I can't comment on their quality. All I'm gonna say is, burger lovers maybe approach with a grain of salt. 3/5

    Such a great local place! Friendly service and tasty Cajun style food. Shrimp is always a family…read morefav! Relax and enjoy one of their famous shakes!
