Eating outdoors was nice with their heated ceilings keeping us warm. The service was great and the waitress was helpful. But I thought that the food was overpriced, all things considered. I was hoping for a traditional Southern experience but was somewhat disappointed. I thought the portions were a little small and the food was more "fast-food" than I was expecting. read more

If lousy service and terrible food is what this place is striving for then have definitly achieved that goal. Do yourself a favor and drive as fast as you can by this place. read more

The food was alright. I honestly have had better fried food at long john silvers...we ordered raw oysters and had to send them back because they were so badly mutilated and had shells broken in the oyster. The service was ok, but the prices were incredibly high. Not to mention, when you order a sandwich it doesn't come with a side and they hide the charges until you pay out. I will not return here. read more

Do not go to this restaurant!!! One star is being generous for the Shrimp Basket in Navarre. We waited for over 1 hour and 45 minutes before leaving because we had not yet received our food. Other patrons had been waiting longer and still had not received their food. The restaurant was not clean and the lemon in my water was rotten. When I say rotten, I mean the rind was black. We should have left after they brought the water. read more

Will never return. I ordered blackened fish at lunch. It was under cooked. I was very disappointed.

We had the catfish basket and shrimp basket and enjoyed it. I thought despite the negative reviews the food was good. The decor and cleanliness leaves something to be desired but all in all we were pleased. read more

Extremely poor service. We arrived around 7:30 one evening and ordered our food. One hour and forty minutes later and still no food. When we decided to leave they wanted me to pay $113 for the food that was still not prepared and take it back to our condo. No thanks. Others left as well after waiting even longer than we did. Definitely will never go back. read more

This was the best place that we ate on our vacation, very good food and excellent price.

Ate here twice with 2 little ones and a baby. First experience was quick attentive service. Second trip was slow, several items ordered were wrong including drinks, and food was cold. read more

My wife and I stopped for lunch. Our waiter was Chris and he was awesome. Chris recommended the Blackened redfish. My wife had the blackened redfish and she said it was perfectly prepared and was delicious. I had the all you can eat shrimp. The shrimp slaw was also good. Chris was very attentive and even though the place was busy he kept our glasses full and my shrimp flowing. read more

Best seafood in Navarre!!! Love the great service and great food!! Great specials throughout the week!

This is the greatest boil I gave had....huge. they say it's for two..more like three or four. Great hospitality

The food was ok. Appetizer of fried pickles was served late apparently. They were not really hot but more warm-ish. The food itself wasn't bad. It's nothing special and certainly not the best seafood I've ever had. Red Lobster is a step up, but the prices at the Shrimp Basket were very reasonable. Overall the service wasn't the greatest. They were busy, but you expect that during the summer. I've seen these restaurants up and down the coast. I'm not sure if other locations are better or not, but I wasn't overly impressed. read more

We went for the AYCE popcorn shrimp & it was excellent!!! Not only were the shrimp regular size but they were perfectly cooked & tasted great. It was a little bit of a wait but was well worth it & they let you order your refill right away. The potato salad was the best!! read more

I would give it a zero if your system let it. This place looks and feels like a fast food restaurant, yet when we stopped here on Father's Day, the father of the family didn't get served for 2 hours. It took over an hour for any of us to get our food, then it turns out that they said they mistakenly gave his meal to someone else and it would quickly be remedied. Long after the other guests finished eating, he finally got his meal and it wasn't even his order. They wouldn't make it right by comping his meal either. They just offered "$5 off the bottom line" when his meal was about $15. Too bad they don't understand that a little customer service could go a long long way! (This from a food industry veteran of 20 years!) Plus, the food was pretty awful. The "tuna dip" was canned tuna salad and the "sauteed scallops" were fried. AWFUL!!!! DON'T GO THERE!! read more

Excellent food and good service. Was very impressed with how fresh the food was and it came out perfect! Will definately be back and tell others! read more

We love this place! We went two times in three days. First, we liked the casual diner feel. The staff were super friendly and service was prompt. I appreciated that our server wrote little notes on my little girl's cup and our check when she found out it was her birthday. I come from the motherland of fried seafood and have been disappointed in the way they treat beautiful shrimp east of Bay St. Louis. However, the Shrimp Basket got it right! Lightly battered and fried crispy. The oysters and catfish were in a cornmeal batter and they were good too. I got the grilled shrimp one time and they were basted in some kind of Carribean sauce (not jerk) which was light, not too sweet and not too saucy. It was served with rice, which I didn't eat, but ok, and grilled French bread. I would totally recommend this if you aren't in the mood for fried. They have some good all you can eat deals and overall the price was decent. read more

The staff were friendly greeting me as soon as I entered. The food was good and the portions not large but ample. The takeout was ready in under five minutes. read more

This place is not worth your money! I went for all you could eat shrimp expecting a bucket of steam delicious shrimp and got about 8 steamed shrimp on my plate with a side of veggies. The shrimp was the toughest seafood I have ever had in my life! It tasted like dirt and had no seasoning on it. My kids each got kids meals, fried fish and the fried shrimp. They both left still hungry. Their fries that came with it were old and horrible. I haven't had bad food in a long time nor do I ever send my plate back but this was bad enough to warrant it. I'll never go back. read more

Great food. Husband got the AYCE shrimp basket and sides. I got the crab claws. Every item on the table tasted delish!! Waitress was a sweetheart, too. Loved the Shrimp Basket!! read more

First time eating here! Food looks good! Great outdoor seating perfect stop after a day at the beach!!

First timer. Sat @ bar & ordered to go. Great food @ Great price delivered in a timely manner. Friendly staff. Brie bartender & Cory manager. Packed house. Literally 1 parking space available w/2 cars waiting for a spot. read more

It was our first time staying in the area over Thanksgiving week. I ordered grilled skewers.... When I opened my to-go box I saw the two famous sticks of dried up mummies.... First of all the shrimp were overcooked ( freezer burn?) and generously covered in oily sauce to overcome their pure dryness. Second, they were perfectly uniform and flattened on the skewers. Food does not have a packaged look unless it has been kept a long time in the freezer. This is not what I would expect from a seafood restaurant on the coast. The sides were equally flavorful! I could not make myself eat the rice. The flavor and quality of the food at Shrimp Basket is equal to a fast food restaurant. We always support local business at home and when vacationing. I am really puzzled by people who gave this place a five star mark. I would not eat there for half the price I paid for my dish. read more

This place was painfully slow despite the place not appearing very busy. The server was nice, but slow. The table was just shy of disgusting. At least they leave a roll of paper towels on the table so one can try to clean off the sticky table, chairs, and condiments. The grilled Mahi tacos were the highlight, and they were just "ok". The shrimp po boy was poor (sorry, I couldn't resist). The fries were decent and a large portion. For the price, we will look elsewhere the next time we visit the area. The food just tasted like something I could get in a fried fish joint in the middle of the country. Did I mention they were slow? read more

Always good. Love the shrimp boil. We have eaten at the gulf shores location several times. Yummy

We had grilled shrimp and catfish basket. Food was hot and good. Service was good. There was a wait on food but they were busy on this night. read more

Hands down the worst service of my life. After waiting over an hour and 15 minutes and dealing with a rude college aged female manager we decided to leave. When people are seated after you are getting their food before you and getting refills of AYCE shrimp it shows a lack of efficiency in the kitchen. The manager denied that our order was lost/forgotten. As we were getting ready to leave because we were starving and had children with us, the manager told us our food was almost ready and we could take it to go. She then handed us our check. No discounts. No apologies. No throwing in a litte something extra for making is wait an hour and 15 minutes. I'm not paying full price for AYCE shrimp when it is not all you can eat. I thought it was unprofessional to give us a bill before getting our food. We are never going back. I've banned this restaurant based on service alone. Making the customers happy should be a top priority and that night it was not. We are locals and used to eat there about once a month. read more

Very good grilled shrimp & fish but just a tad salty. The fried okra & fritters were awesome!

We spent a week visiting Navarre beach and this was our favorite stop for dinner! The coconut shrimp was delicious. The 9 jumbo sized shrimp was enough for 2 people to share. It came with shrimp slaw, French fries, hush puppies and a corn fritter! 4 of us got the coconut shrimp and nobody was disappointed! One person tried the red Beans and rice and enjoyed that as well! The fried pickle chips were a great start to the meal. The place was packed, but the service was fast and friendly! read more

Cute place. hostess and waiters are very kind. Easy access without dealing with crazy beach traffic. Awesome menu!

Awesome staff, awesome management, awesome food! Overall spectacular!! Y'all need to go here if you're in the area!

Great place, great food, great company! Always enjoy eating out at the Shrimp Basket in Navarre, Florida. Love the Mahi Mahi tacos!

Our server was named Bri and she was fantastic, ask for her! Service was amazing as well as the food! Steamed shrimp basket was my favorite. Corn fritters and stuffed crab were delicious. All the food was great and we will be coming back. read more

Typical fried food, nothing special really. Catfish is fresh and tasty, hush puppies are pretty good and shrimp slaw uniquely good. Friendly staff and prompt service. read more

This is usually our go to place for nice comfort food. Since our last visit, the outside seating area was expanded to accommodate more customers. Consequently, they've hired more servers and this last visit we didn't see any familiar severs. Immediately we noticed a decline in the service quality. Our food took longer than normal to come out, but I will say the jalapeño burger was amazing! Sadly my son didn't have the same luck with his fish taco. So food quality might be hit or miss. We had more issues with our server as she failed to pay attention to details when it came to bringing out all parts of our food at the same time and giving us refills with the wrong drinks. What was once a favorite restaurant that made us feel welcome as locals has now turned towards treating guests as numbers. At least that's how we felt tonight. Lastly, while debating on the amount of stars to give, my son gave a rating of two stars because he said his taco was terrible. So two stars it is. read more

The food was horrible, everything was burned to crisp and the oil was old. Cole slaw is not edible.

Gluten free reviewer. They are off to a good start, but a lot to learn about food allergy. Personally I believe if you're in the food industry, you should be aware of allergens in the ingredients in the food you sell. Waitstaff was knowledgable, manager leaned by the kitchen on her cell, letting my food sit in the window for a timed 4 minutes before my waitress came around to bring it to me with hush puppies in the basket. I warned about cross contamination, so the manager happily went in the back and changed the paper and basket without washing her hands or putting gloves on. Too hungry to wait another 15 min for food they likely would have spit in anyway. Went for sushi up the road instead. read more

Service was terrible. It took forever to get our food and even longer to get our reorder. I guess it's a good way to keep cost down on all you can fish night. We just left after the second order didn't feel like waiting another thirty minutes for three little pieces of fish. Food was just OK nothing special. read more

I have had really good PoBoys and fish and shrimp baskets. A lot of sides to choose from which is a plus and all at reasonable pricing. We always have friendly prompt service and never feel rushed even though the seating inside is limited. Orders have always come out in a timely manner and haven't had a complaint in all the times we have eaten there. They also have all you can eat specials but what we receive on a regular order is so much that it is usually more than I can eat. read more

Had the whitefish basket and had four nice size pieces of fish, the rev beans and rice are good too! It's a great place to stop for lunch or dinner! read more
