What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Shrimpers Grill and Raw Bar is praised for its scenic waterfront location and generally good seafood, with many highlighting attentive service and a fun, casual atmosphere. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and occasional service issues, with a few diners experiencing long waits or overcooked dishes.
"I went there for the first time to celebrate a birthday from my husband, recommended by a family that has been coming here for many years! I was simply welcomed very well and the waitress was quick to offer to change my dish if I didn't like the conch chowder. We were very well received, the food was simply perfect and the idea of making the shrimp trio was excellent (I would suggest including the fourth type of shrimp for a more complete experience). It was a very good dinner and I haven't seen a restaurant like Shrimpers in a long time living here in the US! I will be back many, many times."
Cléber Christinakis
"There were 8 of us so we had a wide range of items from the menu to include appetizers, entrees and dessert. Check the photos for the atmosphere. It was really nice on the water front. Our server was the best. She had her hands full taking care of us and did a superb job. Definitely will go back."
Alan Boehm
"Great food, great service, and great view. Had a great meal out on the dock area. The grouper Reuben sandwich was fantastic and worth a try! If needed, you are able to pull up your boat to park and eat."
