This was honestly HANDS DOWN one of the best meals I have EVER had. My mother in law and I shared a crab cake sandwich which was HUGE and a jumbo fried shrimp basket. All the way down to the hushpuppies and coleslaw this was DELICIOUS!! Will be going back before we return home for sure!
If you like fried everything, this is the place for you. I’ll agree with many others that this place is overpriced. Side note, automatic gratuity is added to your bill before your payment is accepted. The baskets we had weren’t terrible, but the chicken poboy we had wasn’t good at all. We only came here because they weren’t busy on a Friday night…..which should have been our clue. And yes, water is bottled, no refills are free. It’s almost as if a few guys got together and said, “ we have some fryers and a building by the beach, let’s open a restaurant.’ There is obviously a reason you can’t find the menu on any webpage…. Oh, and the “Drunken” Shrimp has no liquor license and sells no liquor/beer/wine. So many other options, this should be bypassed.
We were looking for a quick place to have dinner (with our dog) and we were in the midst of "rush hour", so our options were pretty slim. We drove by Drunken Shrimp and were a little pessimistic because it looked more like a bar and there were no cars in the lot where all these other restaurants were packed.I took a look at the reviews and food pics and we decided to give it a try. And I'm glad we did.The food was VERY good! And the waiter was a character.Everything on the menu was fried, except they could blacken shrimp. Although it was all fried, it wasn't drenched in oil. It was crisp and the texture of the fish and shrimp were perfect! And well flavored.One surprise with the onion rings was fried banana pepper rings. They were amazing!
There was only a 15 minute wait. PERFECT! While waiting I used my phone twice; to tell my family how long the wait then when to come inside. (Very small waiting area) Once seated the owner/waitress access me of taking pictures of her and talking about her. NOT TRUE!!! Then she proceeded to tell me she was the owner,, what she says goes and she controls and runs things around there!!! She was extremely rude and continued to glare at me. The food was good and service was fast. But not worth the $140. They added a $21.59 tip to our bill . I guess they do that knowing no one would leave a decent tip because of such poor service.
We went here based on the reviews that we found on Google. We were HIGHLY disappointed. I tried to order a couple of things based on the pictures we saw on their Facebook page, only to be told that those dishes were "winter only" dishes. Fried fish and shrimp is winter-only?? So I then ordered just the crab cakes. Nope, sold out of those. Landed on the deep fried crab claws, which were tiny. A lot of them had no meat, it was just the claw shell breaded and fried. My wife opted for the shrimp. It was definitely nothing to write home about.We always support Mom-and-Pop businesses when we go on vacation. Those are usually the best places to eat. This was a let-down. Not to mention for 4 people it was $140 to eat here.I'm sure that they were great once upon a time. I'm not sure what has happened, but I just cannot recommend the place based on the experience that we had here.
Decided to try this place next to King Neptunes (busy). We've owned property here for 30 years and have never eaten there. EMPTY. It was near 5pm. (Warning flag #1). Ordered (2) crabcake Poboys (came with fries and small slaw). We were served quickly, BUT... the best is below. Instead of being served on Leidenheimer-type bread (New Orleans style, like it said on the menu), we got them in HAMBURGER BUNS with sesame seeds. Asked the server where is the NO bread? 'Oh, we don't have any'. 'Come back tomorrow'. (Warning #2) The crabcakes were 'average' at best. The buns ruined the experience. 2 sandwiches with sides, two soft drinks = OVER $50. AVOID. We will never returned. We laughed it off as a lesson learned.
The food was great!! We ate here several times during our trip. Food came out super fast!! Best seafood I have ever had. There parmesean potatoes were amazing??. Highly recommended. Also? It's BYOB! And whoever DOES that?!
The BEST crab cakes I have ever had. The service was amazing and the food came out pretty quickly. Everything was super fresh. I highly recommend going here!
This place was pretty amazing!! I didn’t get to try everything I wanted on this trip, but the gumbo was Top Notch!! The Boomin Shrimp on a bed of onion straws had amazing flavor!! Last but not least, The hush puppies were some of the best that I have ever eaten!!
Excellent friendly service! Amazing shrimp Po boy! Plentiful, lightly battered, crunchy shrimp spill over the large, toasted, pillowy soft roll that is slathered with mayo, lettuce, and perfectly ripe sliced tomatoes. The fries, hush puppies, and slaw are all on point!Our daughter named the gumbo "the best I've ever had!" Our granddaughter loved the chicken tenders.We found the Drunken Shrimp in the spring of 2021 and made sure to stop by again in the spring of 2022!
