Let me start - the food was mostly good. You can see the portion size for the platter is really good. The fried fish was excellent and the shrimp based slaw was innovative and interesting. We weren't too crazy because the fried are coated and the hush puppies were way over cooked with a weird batter/dough that reminded mea lot of an undercooked corn bread. Yes, the dark brown spheres on the bottom of the plate were hushpuppies. Service was excellent with the waiter checking in on us and refilling drinks. That might have been easier because we were late in coming in for lunch, so it wasn't really crowded. I imagine that during a busy dinner service, it's probably pretty loud, but here it was just a nice quite cafe feel. The big takeaway - the seafood was excellent. It was fresh, hot, well cooked. But the sides seem to fall down, nothing except the slaw was something I want again. So come for the seafood, but lower your expectations for the slaw. read more

Shrimp & Co. Restaurant - Fried Grouper Platter - Seafood Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I would give it a zero if possible. First time In on a quiet Saturday. Seated right away and drinks. But while my husband was in the middle of placing his order the waiter excused himself to great and sweet new customers. Said he would be right back. That was via him giving new customer drinks and delivering food to existing customer. We simply asked for our check to pay for our drinks. Took him FOREVER to come and settle up. When my husband explained this is the first time he has ever had someone walk away mid order we were told that is there policy. The new customer takes priority over the one you are already engaged with. Food may be great but we will never know..... read more

Right here in Ybor city in Tampa. We had the Florida stream pot and the Green Mahi sandwich. The steam pot was a lot of food for two. Lots of shrimp, over cooked but still good. The mahi was ok in size and very flavorful. And with a fried green tomato with a crunch. The server Michael was very helpful and completed the dinner. The place was casual and had a straw roof theme inside for a great feeling of Florida. I'll be back for sure. read more

Server had great recommendations but it's hard to not go with the obvious choices - boil was perfectly spiced (shout out the sausage), CRAZY CRAB DIP WAS A MUST!! We had the place to ourselves so were able to loudly let the team know how good everything was. Totally would come back (Get a bib) read more

Nice casual hidden gem located in Ybor City. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and quickly seated right at dinner time. There were only two other tables with customers so business was slow I guess being a weeknight. There appeared to be one guy running the front of the house and one girl cooking orders but they knew what they were doing and did it well. All of our food was excellent! We started with fried green tomatoes which disappeared in seconds (paired well with their house "pink sauce"). The green mahi sandwich and seafood boil were both top notch and the chef sent me out a side of their hottest sauce for my order which was delicious! Hope to return when I'm in town again! read more

We came in 40 minutes before close (not ideal), but the staff was still so friendly and we never felt rushed. Amazing service I had never tried escargot, so I'm not sure how it compares, but I thought it was amazing! I was scared it would be chewy, but it wasn't. It was so tender, and the butter sauce was delicious. For the main course, 3 of us split a seafood boil. We got it medium heat and it was nice. They gave me spicy butter sauce on the side because I wanted spicier than the others I was with. But overall the boil didn't have much heat to it at all. Even with what they gave me on the side. I wasn't as impressed with the main course. I still liked it though! I would be interested to try their other options, but I'm not itching to go back. Overall rating: 4/5 stars read more

Went here for lunch, nice little hole in the wall place. At first wasn't sure about this place as we were the only ones in the restaurant and all the area traffic was obviously for the popular Cuban Restaurant close by ( not gonna say their name but I'm sure everyone knows.). Anyways there is a lot to park however the big downer is that its pay to park and @ $7 an hour a bit expensive if I may say so myself not even free parking for handicapped or Florida DV plates - big disappointment and main reason for 4 stars. Ordered the Mangle Clams with regular butter ( no Chile butter here) and the daily special - Shrimp Po' Boy Deluxe. Everything was cooked to order and hot when served. The clams were small and flavorful, in a butter/wine/garlic sauce served with 3 pieces of sliced toasted french bread to dip. The Shrimp Po' Boy Deluxe with the house made crab sauce was delish - must try. The Po' Boy could easily have a couple more shrimp but otherwise very tasty. Order the season potatoes instead of fries and this too did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly and helpful. The booths did have round table instead of square which made it a little odd to accommodate a table of 4 and only Pepsi products are available. read more

They really have a great softshell crab sandwich. Meet me at pescatarian I restaurant that make great seafood.

Service was fine. Food tasted like it was literally take out of the bay and just added to your plate. Everything was bland. The potatoes with garlic and Parmesan tasted like nothing. Like how does that even happen? Their shrimp coleslaw was so bad. I was so excited for it too. It actually tasted a little like spoiled milk. Not sure if the Cole slaw was bad or what. I will not be ever going there again. I'm actually on my way home with my brother and he's saying his stomach is starting to feel bad.we just left! We are never gong back!! read more

Small, unassuming spot in the Ybor district. I had a craving for fried shrimp and I found a spot that I would definitely hit up again. Very friendly and quick service as soon as I walked in. One server was working that spot and she was doing extremely well. Ordered the fried fish and shrimp platter with fries and hush puppies. Price was right, portion was great and the food was piping hot and fresh. Definitely worth the trip. Again, unassuming spot that you may pass by, but don't. Try this spot for some great seafood and quick service. read more

Late Friday afternoon- no wait, immediate service. The blackened Mahi-Mahi w/vegetables was incredible. Bathroom was clean, server was nice. Love the vibe of this very unique neighborhood. Plus, the trolly (free to ride) goes 1 block from here. Doesn't appear to be a chain restaurant, has the feel of being locally owned. Not a high end restaurant, but everything was fantastic. read more

We went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and had a surprisingly good meal. I love that they offer parking in the lot right next to the restaurant, which is so convenient for Ybor. We arrived shortly after noon, when they opened, and by the time we left at 1:00 pm, the restaurant was packed. We started with the appetizer of fried green tomatoes. They took a while to arrive, but came out piping hot, and I loved the dipping sauce they came with. This was followed minutes later with our lunch entrees. I had the blackened mahi mahi platter, which came with two sides. For my sides I chose french fries, which were the crispy coated ones and excellent, and the spicy shrimp slaw, which I really liked. My fish was a generous portion, perfectly cooked, lightly blackened, and was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient, food was wonderful, and parking was easy. I definitely plan to return. read more

Ran into the spot after a pretty lively round of golf but I got to say I've never had shrimp mofongo but this was one of my favorite dishes out of everything we tried that afternoon. I'd have to say that this was some of the favorites you can get at any Spanish restaurant / seafood joint just done a cut above the rest with the flavor and the crispiness and pop of everything that was plated. Your best bet is to order an entree or two and then pile on with the appetizers as they do give you quite a bit of grub to get through and it's very reasonable on the wallet as well. read more

I came for a Shrimp & Co. Po'boy, but decided on looking at the menu to get a lobster version for three extra bucks. (See photo.) It was delicious! Toasted authentic French roll with a little mayo. Fresh Romaine, diced tomatoes, perfectly crispy-battered fried pieces of lobster, so-called maketnaisse (like a traditional remoulade... it just needs some added relish or maybe a bit of olive tapanade to be even more special). The first bite was cruchy-tasty-warm-piquant. The second bite was...mostly lettuce. The lobster was mostly on top, so I opened it up and mixed it in better. I also added more maketnaisse. Yum, wow! Then I tried dripping on some Crystal Hot Sauce. Nice tang! The fries were battered and nicely warm and crispy. The Cole slaw had tiny prawns in it and a little added cajun spice to give it a mouth-watering kick. The Lobster Po'Boy was so amazing that I had to also order a Shrimp one. It was absolutely perfect New Orleans traditional style, with crunch-juicy large shrimp, cooked exactly right. (I took 2/3 of it home for a snack.) The Red Sangria was very nice, with lots of berries thrown in. I'd like to order a pitcher of it! According to the manager, Cami, this pace has been open for 13 years (... he's run it for five). I can see why it's survived! (The waiter, Marco, was also very friendly and enthusiastic about the food.) I *will* be back the next time I can come to Tampa/St. Pete! read more

I'll be honest, our visit didn't start off on the right foot so we had low expectations. My friend and I were going to go tot he Columbia but it was packed so we went across the street. It looked cute on the inside, but when we went to order, they were out of the beer I wanted, then they were out of a menu item my friend was going to order. I ended up getting a seafood empanada and it was delicious! My friend also liked her poboy. I have a couple other places in Ybor that are on my favorites list, but this place ended up being better than expected and I certainly would not disagree with going to it again in the future. read more

Great place for lunch! The calamari was so freakin good I could've had it twice! Big ol' serving on a platter enough for two people for sure. Add a pitcher of beer to split and bill was $80 for two w/o tip. Good food, will be back with friends. read more

Just gonna start by saying that we ordered the boil over the for and then we go to pick it up and they don't even give it to us and it's not even on the receipt. When we did get the order, it was packed nicely. The potato was cut up which was nice although I wish it said that it was whole shrimp. The crab legs were nice and hot so they were easier to crack. I really wish it would have said that the shrimp were whole bc I would've liked to know ahead of time. With whole shrimp not only do ya have to remove the head, but the poop veins too. That also left broken pieces of the feet and antenna within the sauce. Gonna take off another star, bc also there was NO sauce like barely. So everything was dry. The cheese bites were good and the hush puppies and fish bites, but the fries were not. We called back about the missing order and they were very kind and apologetic about it, alas I still have to take a star off. read more

We had been to the coast to look at a car and my wife wanted some gulf shrimp so I went to Yelp for some help. We decided on this place and off went. It's a small location on the corner but had good vibes. It seems to be ran by a family and not a group of outsiders. Ordering was easy and that sweet tea was sweet baby . My catfish was ok but nothing special and my wife's shrimp were on the small side for being advertised as gulf shrimp. The hush puppies were my favorite though. Would I be back ahh I don't know it just didn't have that appeal that would make me drive from orlando to have lunch. It isn't cheap by the way. Lunch was $50 with a tip so keep that in mind when deciding read more

It was first time visiting this establishment and I really enjoyed my experience. The restaurant was a quiet and not too busy for an early Thursday evening, which is what I prefer. I was immediately greeted by the great staff here and I was able to choose my seating. I ordered the shrimp po'boy. This came with fries and what I believe to be the shrimp coleslaw. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The food came to me hot and fresh. The shrimp was perfectly fried golden brown, and they were not stingy with the shrimp. The shrimp was served on a crisp bed of lettuce and their special sauce and all stuffed into a nice fresh roll. The fries were perfectly crisp! Not soggy, not too hard, they were just right. And the slaw was very different, in a really good way! Loved their take on it. I believe that their special sauce was used in the slaw, I LOVED IT. I devoured this meal. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be returning for another po'boy. I will also have to try the shrimp empanadas next time. Parking was good, I was able to park in the street parking right in front of the restaurant. There are plenty of lots near by. But, the one connected to the building has some sort of glitch (won't let you choose your hours to park). So I recommend street parking or finding another nearby lot. read more

I got a lobster po boy with sweet potato fries and my friend got a shrimp po boy with potato. Really good stuff. I wanted the crab legs but the market price of 64 was a little too rich for my blood.

Food was delicious!! The fries were super crispy! Husband and I could tell they had just fried the shrimp and it was super good. Shrimp weren't greasy at all.

If you park in the big lot, you'll end up having to pay $15 but if you park in the parallel spot and upload that zone # into PayMobile then you can choose your duration of time and get a cheaper parking price!

I'm a real seafood lover, having eaten seafood from Seattle to Boston I'm very spoiled. And before the peanut gallery makes some negative comments, first let me say this. I know Tampa is not really considered a seafood town but considering the city and State of Florida boarders to large bodies of water that our seafood choices would be better. So back to the restaurant, we ordered the seafood boil and it lacked a lot. It was suppose to consist of crawfish & shrimp and they were the smallest crawfish I've ever seen. The shrimp were actually pretty good but they served them with the heads on . We only received chopped up pieces of a potato and one ear of corn, I would have at least thought we'd receive one each. And I don't know why the potato(s) were chopped up . My wife and I don't eat pork or red meat so we asked them to replace the sausage with extra corn but that didn't happen. And without continuing to harp on this place they said our boil was 2.5 lbs of seafood, not food but once we got the platter the waitress told us it was 2.5 lbs of food, not just seafood. If your a causal seafood lover then this is the place for you. But you serious seafood lovers this is not your type of place. But try it for yourself because this is just my opinion. read more

Food was great, service friendly and knowledgeable. Good place to relax and recharge after a long day of walking around the city.

With a long wait at the Columbia nixing that option, we went across the street to the Shrimp & Co. Restaurant. I had a fried shrimp and grouper basket while my wife went for the soft shell crab sandwich. Everything was surprisingly good at this little hole-in-the-wall. The service was good. The prices were fine. Like the Terminator, I'll be back. read more
