If you haven't been to Shrimp Basket Foley lately, try it again. We hadn't been in a while and new manager has really cleaned it up and the food was delicious. I had coconut shrimp and my husband had the catfish. Both were very good as were the fries (they've been upgraded) and corn fritters were good as well. We'll be back. read more

This is a great stop on the way to any of the gulf coast beaches! The staff is super nice, very accommodating, and ready to please. They offer a variety of fresh seafood options, seasoned to perfection, cooked fresh, and delivered pretty quickly from the kitchen! It's a "hole in the wall" kind of place, but don't let that turn you away. We had four kids with us and even the chicken tenders are homemade! The batter is just enough and has great flavor. The shrimp are the perfect size and the fish is tender and flaky. They have amazing coleslaw and there are a variety of great appetizers featuring seafood, like queso and fried crab claws, but also have more traditional choices like fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, and spinach dip. The prices are very reasonable compared to other local offerings, but there can be a wait at certain times during the week. Tuesday at 1145, we walked right in, were seated, served drinks, and had food in less than 15 minutes. Great trip and we'll be back!! read more

The service we received from Heather B was great! She answered all questions and helped us make perfect decisions on food choices. From crab cakes to chicken strips, steamed broccoli to crispy okra, food was great. Thanks Heather B. read more

Just finished eating here and have been a repeating customer for some years now. I had the smoothest experience. our waitress shaena was quick and surprisingly had the best memory. she remembered the orders of a full table of six. she's been there for the last few times ive come. overall great experience the food was great no problems from the whole group. even having multiple members of my family complimenting the entrees not even expecting me to right a review!! read more

We ordered appetizers of Grilled shrimp, fish fingers and clam strips. It was all delicious and plentiful, more than enough for 2 people Service was good. I would definitely go there again read more

It was okay ... But far from fresh seafood. I ordered shrimp etouffee and it literally had 1 single shrimp about the size of a dime in it. The worst part ... The shrimp was BAD like been in the pot and reheated 4 days in a row and not good anymore bad. The cheese grits were pretty good. The stuffed shrimp appetizer was great. Service was pretty good and quick, but have to give 2 stars because of the bad shrimp. read more

Food here is good. The staff, though very busy, does a great job of meeting or needs. The shrimp in the Lowcountry boil is a little bit over boiled and hard to peel, but the cocktail sauce and seasoning that they use is the best I've ever had. The price is reasonable and it's a very casual place to dine indoors or outdoors. I'll be back, a lot. And they treat my service dog with respect and kindness. read more

Ordered the gumbo, and seafood basket. Food was absolutely delicious. The service was even better. Kayla was my server and she was amazing. She was very attentive and friendly. read more

Everyone loved their food, and our server was excellent with our granddaughter and everyone else. Could not have been better.

I was traveling through Foley, and decided to stop at Shrimp Basket since I had never been. And when I say the service was absolutely INCREDIBLE. My servers name was Lainey and she was the best server I've ever experienced in my life. I just recently had knee surgery, and I currently have trouble walking. As soon as I got out of my car Lainey saw me struggling and ran outside and escorted me all the way inside. The food was amazing, and Lainey brought it out swiftly and just made sure I was taken care of the whole time I was there. She is a very humble young woman!! 10/10 recommend choosing Shrimp Basket as a place to dine in. Ask for Lainey as your server and she will treat you well!! read more

We have been going to Shrimp Basket regularly for over 20 years, and the Foley location for 5 years. Consistently good food is important and no matter what time of day we go, the food is always hot and fresh. Great selection and attentive, friendly staff. Their chicken wings are better than some places that have "wings" in their name...always crispy and juicy. The jerk sauce and boss sauce are full of flavor without being tooo hot and spicy. Everything we have tried from burgers to seafood to salads has always been great. read more

Love the Shrimp Basket, and even more so on all you can eat shrimp day. Great food and reasonably priced. An essential stop when I'm in the area. read more

Great shrimp! Popular local spot. Several locations to choose from. Always busy. Doing it right for years

Review left for employees seeking employment. Protocol is to suspend you upon an allegation of suicidal ideology. No confirmation before deciding this. Manager will profile you if you have tattoos and long hair. They will refuse to give you the gms number and will refuse to give you hrs number when that's who is supposed to contact us. The way this was handled was laughably poor. The manager Christy most definitely should not tell her employees to leave and lock the door without giving contact info I'm pretty sure you legally have to give. I am honestly considering to lawyer up. I have lawyer friends at the very least I will be contacting them over the gross way this situation was handled. read more

The service was so bad we walked out. Was too crowded, and not enough employees The menus that are on this Yelp were NOT the ones we got handed. We asked for steamed oysters and we're told they don't sell those so we then asked for the raw oysters and she said they're out, it would of been nice to be told that when we asked about the steamed. read more

I've been coming to this location in Foley for over 10 years. Always good food and service, any season, any time. Nightly specials definitely worth trying out! read more

Oh so dearly tasty I love this place . The coconut shrimp is fried to perfection and golden brown. The workers are so precious. The bathrooms are clean and that's a very wonderous thing. They had an awful smell though ! The prices were nice. My husband Bob got a shrimp poboy and said it was wonderous. My daughter Breanna loves the Crawfish Poboy. My son Ayden got fish. Ayden said it was good but he didn't love it. I got the coconut shrimp, and it is the best ever. It's a precious place truly. So wonderous, clean, and beautiful read more

First off, previously, we had eaten here about 7 years prior and had been DYING for crab claws since then. You can dine inside or out on the patio. This place has simple and fun decor. They also sell Shrimp Basket T-Shirts in various colors and sizes. They have locations in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi! I want one in the Los Angeles area, please?? When we knew we were coming to Foley, AL from Los Angeles, CA, I knew I would be indulging in these crab claws! I have to say that I had my fill while I was in town, and that is meant in a good and bad way. When were here during this visit in March of 2015, we dined in and did a carry out. When we ate in, everything was exceptional, and really delicious! It was a totally different story when I ordered crab claws to go. We started with an Iced Tea, a Sweet Tea, and a Lemonade. We also ordered the Crab Claws Appetizer and a Crab Cake Appetizer. Oh my word, I was in crab claw heaven! They came out hot and were perfectly fried! Just exactly the deliciousness I had remembered and drooled over countless times! The Crab Cake was tasty! For the meals, we ordered: Whitefish Tacos - they were messy, but good Shrimp Skewers - they were grilled and seasoned well Sauteed Scallops - fresh from the ocean, imperfect and delectable bites Crab Claw Appetizer - because the actual appetizer got devoured, I had to order one for my meal! As we were nearing the end of our meal, we ordered 18 Raw Oysters and 2 combo baskets to-go. On another visit, we called in an order of crab claws and a crab cake to pick up. The crab cake came out fine. However, I about cried when I saw the crab claws. It really looked like I got all the rejected claws, they were tiny and overcooked, almost burnt. Besides the fact that they were so horrible, I was despondent because I knew they'd be the last ones I'd eat in a long time because we were leaving and heading back to the West Coast. :( Dear Shrimp Basket, I am so disappointed! Why did you have to serve these mostly inedible ones and why give them to me as the last taste in my mouth for a long time? I just am in such disbelief! Poor offering! I would have taken 2 rating stars off just for this alone, but I didn't. Next time I visit Foley, I sure hope to savor some excellent Crab Claws each & every time, not just when I dine in!! read more

Thought I would give this place five stars just boosted up a bit. I was craving fried crab claws and I'm allergic to shrimp but yelp told me to go here so I did!!! I got a cold beer and even though they only have plastic cups it went down very good and started with the basket of fried crab claws. You just don't find those in Georgia so I enjoyed every bite!! So now that my bellies halfway full already I opted to just get the crab cake appetizer and a basket of hush puppies to finish off my high cholesterol cheat night. I had the crabcakes grilled so the center was actually saw but full of crab and some veggies. I personally actually love them!!! Hush puppies had flavor and we're not bland like most other places and were handmade and the service was friendly and inviting and relaxing which gave me the perfect evening. This is a little place on the side of the road that doesn't look like much but they get my boat and the next time I'm down in the boonies near Foley I'm hitting them up again!!! read more

To say the staff was overwhelmed is an understatement. However they went above and beyond to treat our family with kindness. Our food took a while to get, but was hot and fresh. I felt the price was right on point and the Assistant Manager Danay went above the call of duty not just to help us but others as well. Our only downside was we went for the stuffed flounder and they were out. They suggested some other options and we enjoyed them all. Thank you guys for a great family dinner! read more

Our server, Deana, was the best! My birthday lunch could not have been better from start to finish. Deana recommended their signature Bloody Mary and it was awesome. The service, food and atmosphere made for a great start to a day of celebration! read more

Shrimp Basket - a plate of shrimp and corn on the cob - Seafood Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Yes, there are options other than deep fried at Shrimp Basket. Our extended family loves coming here on every year, and it has good food. The fried food is alright, but I always regret it afterward. The batter does not have much flavor, so the the fried pickles give the flavor a bit more kick. The po boys, gumbo, and potato salad are good, but the corn nuggets and beans and rice bowls are the best. If you're going to eat something fried here, the corn nuggets are where it's at. They're a bit stingy with them though. So if someone else in your crew offers theirs up, be the quickest on the draw. This time I had the blackened mahi mahi tacos and substituted loaded potato salad for French fries. It was good, but my personal favorite is still the beans and rice bowl. Update 7/6/21 Firecracker Fries are where it's at! New on the menu since last year. Ordered these as an appetizer. They were so good we ended up getting another order as an entree. The crab cakes weren't overly crabby tasting, which is a plus in my book. The sauce they come with makes them even better. Looking for a consumable souvenir, rather than more junk no one uses/wants? They have bottles of hot sauce with more of a smoky flavor to them. Yes. Thank you. I'll take one of those too. read more

We like the foley location better than the gulf shores one, Customer service and food is better, and wait is good at this location. This is the go to place for our 7yr old daughter to her friends shrimp, she just started liking it and we are happy to take her when she requests the shrimp basket for dinner. I didn't think I'd like shrimp slaw and I love it! You can eat semi healthy here with grilled sea food options and vegetable sides. When Lambert's is the out the door busy with a 4 hr wait, make your way down to the shrimp basket, you won't be disappointed. read more

Took our family from out of town here because we have eaten at the one In Pensacola multiple times and always had good food and service. Very disappointed In the food and cleanliness. We spent over $200 and I was very disappointed in our dinner. Some of the food was over salted , some didn't have any flavor at all. The drinks were expensive and were watered down. Food was left on tables around us which drew flies even though there seem to be plenty of workers. Definitely won't return which is sad because we usually like this chain. read more

Everything shrimp.. even in coleslaw..unfortunately not local bought seafood.. better options for local caught

This is the place where the locals go. Oysters were fresh, shrimp po boy was good. I'm coming here again for sure.

Worst service I've ever had at a shrimp basket. They really have gone down the crapper over the past few years. Food was overpriced but good. Do yourself a favor and go to to Tin Top! read more

The food was so good and fresh i forgot to get a picture! Service was swift, everything was fresh and to our desire. I love The Shrimp Basket franchise, this one did not disappoint! read more

Business owners dont understand CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR BUSINESS. My last visit to this location was in May 2008. I remember because it was my nephew's graduation from Robertsdale HS and the service that day was horrible. We had a party of 13, Servers were young, rude and just didn't know how to interact with larger parties. I said I would go back to this location I wanted shrimp and Wacky's was closed, so after church, my mom suggested Shrimp Basket. I side-eyed the idea, but she was like it could be so different. I was willing to give anyone a 2nd chance. 1st off our server put us at a super wobbly table. Not wanting to move without getting the advice of where to sit from our server, I tried to get our server's attention by standing by the table but she was oblivious or had no concern as to why I was standing while she looked right past me. F*%$ it, I'll sit wherever on my own. The new table we sat at was a little sticky. Finally, the server came over and I asked if she would please wipe off the table cause of the stickiness. She went to get a bottle of cleaning solutions that smelled strongly of bleach and sprayed the table with us sitting there. Spraying my 99-year-old Grandmother and myself That killed the whole experience for me. Why would you NOT spray a cloth to wipe down a table instead of spraying your guest with no concern, and no apologies? Although the food was great, I wont be back, ever. I gave it 3 stars ONLY because of the food. read more

The staff was friendly and attentive. They wore face coverings and gloves. The shrimp and blackened fish was delicious. The portions were satisfying. Thanks for handling our family. read more

We haven't been out to eat in a restaurant for over a year..we have just done take out , but our son and dil are here for a visit and we are all vaccinated so felt comfortable doing so now. I ordered grilled shrimp the same thing I have been taking out and what a huge difference . The shrimp were bigger , tastier , just so much better eating in..the whole meal just fresher tasting..Hubby had the stuffed flounder and I kinda wished I would have been brave enough to try it ,it was delicious but anything Cajun is too spicey for me..This just had a very slight kick to it..my dil had sausage and chicken Cajun pasta and tho very good it was too spicey for me ..my son had a combo fried platter which my stomach says no to to much fried foods so I didn't bother tasting that..he said it was very good... We went out early about 4 and the restaurant was not crowded at all.. The waitress was masked and just a darling friendly gal.. it is so nice to feel comfortable going out again.. read more

We have been to the Shrimp Basket in Gulf Shores several times. It is our go to place for awesome fried shrimp. This was our first time at this Shrimp Basket in Foley. The Gulf Shores location has a more touristy vibe, whereas this location has a more locals vibe, which was fine. My wife and I both had the Shrimp Basket entree. Our fried shrimp was excellent, as usual. The fries, hushpuppies and corn fritters were good as well. My wife had the fried okra and she thought it kind of tasted like frozen fried okra that we have bought at home before. No bad, but we expected better. I had the dozen raw oysters and they were fresh and delicious. The margaritas are always good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great experience. read more

we were in Shrimp Basket just like ever other fall break and haven't always had the best service but to our delight we had the most friendly and knowledgeable waitress . She made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. Shout out to Amber for being the highlight of our day. we appreciate you and hope your employers do as well. Hope to see you this Summer. read more
