Now this food was amazing. The staff was super kind, and watching the owner cook was like watching magic happen. Everything is made to order so get here early they tend to sell out of food before they close. I ate here two days in a row for lunch and no regrets were had! Highly recommend and there is plenty of seating in the food court.

Yo Mr. Shrimp, you did that! I went there with a co-worker and order food. We ordered the food online and went to pick it up. The food was FRESH and hot. I ordered a shrimp (12) plate with fries and a drink. My co-worker ordered a shrimp and fish (2 pieces) plate with fries. We also ordered another plate which was a shrimp poboy..The fried shrimp are also deveined. I know I say that like I'm shocked and I am because all places don't do that. The down side to ordering online is that you can't customize your poboy..The food was so hot even when we made it back to work..I'm definitely recommending Mr. Shrimp! A big plus is he was there with the employees helping them..no he wasn't training them he was being helpful. Yall go to the Riverwalk and check em out! Mr. Shrimp get a food truck lol

Shrimp Rich Boy
Michael H.

At the NDA convention next door in the NOLA Convention center and needed to get away a bit for lunch so walked over to the Riverwalk Mall food court. Super friendly folks and seem to enjoy what they are doing at Mr Shrimps. Ordered the "Shrimp Rich Boy" meal. It's served up super quick as soon as they can fry the shrimp. Super hot and fresh. Friendly folks and decent food.

Crawfish pasta with huge shrimp plus catfish filet
Joneice B.

Definitely do not skip out on eating at this establishment. My friend who is a local had recommended that we try this spot. On the first time we came to the mall we didn't see any signage for the restaurant so we left. I then got a message from my friend letting me know that they were actually in the food court but they did not have any signage on the main mall maps at this point. We circled back the next day and we were so happy that we got to enjoy the tasty food at Mr. shrimp's. We stopped in before heading on our steamboat cruise so we wanted to eat lunch. We shared the crawfish and shrimp pasta which had a side of catfish. It was definitely enough food for us to feel satiated however we could have ate more we just didn't want to be stuffed on the cruise. The pasta was tasty and the shrimp were huge. We really enjoyed the catfish which I hooked up with some of their hot sauce. Baby that hot sauce is fire and I wish I would have purchased a bottle ago I don't even know if that's an option but it was delicious. Hands down the next time we come back to Nola we're going to mister shrimps not once but at least twice. I really do wanna try their other all offerings and it was just nice chatting it up with the owners and the workers because everyone was so genuine. Wishing all the success to this new business in the mall and I'm telling you do not pass it up if you were reading this review..... you just need to go eat there!!!!!!!!!!!

Shrimp boil
Bianca G.

Service was not the best. I ordered the seafood boil and asked the worker if I could get a lemon she said they didn't have any when I clearly saw some in a bag. I was excited to try this spot based on reviews however when I tried the actual food it was a bit salty for me. So I had to go back again to ask for lemon. I politely asked if I could get a lemon and the other worker made a comment about me asking for the lemon, saying that I wasn't salty enough. I offered to even pay for it because I felt uncomfortable at this point. The original worker who said they had no lemon actually came out of the booth and just glared at me. Overall the food was okay, nothing out of this world. But the service wasn't good. I wouldn't go back again based on this experience.

Fried Shrimp and Fries
Reginald B.

You dont typically find this type of food quality in a mall. The 3 guys working moved fairly quickly to get thier customers thier food. Shrimp were fried nice and had good flavor.

5 Stars 10 out of 10 highly recommend! Mr. shrimp's kitchen is a new restaurant located in the river walk food court. They recently opened on November 17, 2023. This is a family ran business with a lot of heart, a lot of soul, and a lot of flavor. If personality could be sold, they could add it to the menu as well. Mr. Shrimp and Cousin Shrimp are seen customer facing in the front, taking orders and preparing meals. This dynamic duo trying wants you to experience next level dishes through their food. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo w/ fried catfish. HIS WORDS: "that was the creamiest alfredo I've ever had, without the appearance of looking too heavily sauced". The dish was low in sodium but didn't lack in flavor. The taste was like "someone's mama made it in the kitchen." He was very pleased, and the catfish was battered and seasoned perfectly. After going back and forth I settled on the Shrimp Yakamein, posted on their sign. Being a Baltimore native I'm use to a different style of yakamein, gravy base, fatter noodles. However after Mr. Shrimp gave me a small sample of the broth (alone), my decision was made!!! ILL TAKE 1 PLEASE! Before I knew it, I was being handed a 32oz container of Yakamein, piping hot. It contained fresh cut chives, 1 egg split in half, spaghetti style noodles, and a heaping portion of broth filled to the brim! I felt like Dora the Explorer eating this... "yum yum yum Delicioso"! I'm blessed to have my first New Orleans Yakamein experience at Mr. Shrimp! I'm excited to see where this journey takes them next. The ambiance is typical foodcourt vibes, but their restaurant was clean! The pots and pans seemed like well seasoned pots and pans straight from grandmas kitchen. These guys really take pride in what they are doing here in the Riverwalk! They are extremely humbled and blessed for the opportunity they've been given here at this location. Check out the pics, and videos, and RUN DONT walk to Mr. Shrimp. My ONLY recommendation is to offer a 16oz option. I'm not a huge portion person, and I hate to be wasteful because the portion is so large. I ended up sharing it with my husband. Lastly, the prices are affordable and on par with the portions you get! I wish Mr. Shrimp nothing but the best in the future of his business, and Happy early birthday to him as well. (Feb 8th)

Shrimp Fettuccine
Canada D.

The food is exceptional and the owner/chef is exceptional. Great service and great food. The owner/chef is a local Nawlins cat that knows what Nawlins culture and cuisine are all about. His food and conversation made my Father's Day the best. If you are ever in the Riverwalk stop in to get great New Orleans seafood and culture! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Shrimp Alfredo with Fried Catfish

The Chef was amazingly kind to us! It's obvious he loves what he does! You don't get to see that joy much anymore! He let us sample a turkey neck while we waited for our order. I had Shrimp Alfredo Pasta with fried fish and my husband had the Jambalaya Pasta with fried shrimp. The food was so good! We will definitely be returning and sharing our experience!

Fried Shrimp with Fries
Ebony J.

Absolutely delicious. I don't know how else to put it. It's located in the Riverwalk food court and is so so good. The people who work there have a bunch of character and confidence in that definitely comes out in their food. I got the fried shrimp and fries combo and ate every last drop. I would recommend coming around 11/11:30am because they are very busy during the eatery rush hours. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area. You won't regret it.

Shrimp Rich Boy
Diva D.

If you leave hungry, it's your own fault. hUGE portions of fresh, delicious and made-to-order food. Shrimp, sausage and corn boil for husband, shrimp "rich boy" for me. The shrimp are HUGE. The "rich boy" shrimp are also pretty high in and have a light batter than complements the tender shrimp. Service was friendly, enthusiastic and joyful. Great find in the Riverwalk shopping area!

Cecille R.

I stopped by on a whim for a quick lunch. This small spot packs a punch! For the freshest seafood plate, this is where you need to stop. They're affordable , fresh and delicious! These are the nicest guys and so hardworking! Highly recommend !

We love this place. Absolutely one of our go to restaurants for going out to dinner or ordering…read moretakeout! Their food is delicious and the service is always great whether it's a big order or just two of us they do a great job!

I struggled with putting a 5-star review on a pretty basic menu (no offense), but dang it,…read moreeverything we've eaten in our last 3 visits (in 2 months) has been 5-star fresh, tasty and plentiful. Give credit where credit is due. And the servers have really stepped it up. Very nice! Have not had to deal with huge crowds on any of our three visits, just a steady stream of in and out guests and to go orders. Drinks are always brought promptly, and only once has one gone dry. (They are $3.79 ea, so drink up!) One visit involved Pesto Bites and a Savory Cannoli w/a pasta salad side. The Pesto Bites were to die for, and don't believe the picture on the website - the cannoli was huge and looked more like a very big calzone, but it was packed with ingredients and flavor. The pasta salad was seasoned with just the right amount of Italian dressing. Another visit involved Mozzarella Sticks, Pesto Bites, wings and a Combo pizza. It also involved a large to go box. :) The wings were very good - not bready or slimy, which I often encounter when wings aren't the sole business of the establishment. Loved the crust on the pizza. The 3rd visit involved 3 people and Pizza Bites, Seafood Bites, Savory Cannoli w/pasta salad, Spaghetti & Meatballs w/2 extra meatballs and a 14" Hawaiian Pizza. There were some to go boxes and to go drinks with this meal too. I was pleasantly surprised with the Hawaiian pizza, not something I would ordinarily try, the Pizza Bites were amazing, and I don't eat shrimp but am told the Seafood Bites were very good. I wish I had taken pictures, but each time we were sitting down starving; that's never good for the photo business. :) Try it, you'll like it.
