The garlic shrimp was nicely done. Not overcooked or over buttered, juicy and very garlicky. This is a great easy lunch after you've done your shopping. Then dessert around the corner at Lappert's! read more

I ordered the garlic shrimp. Customer service was great and parking was easy, which I appreciated. However, the food itself was disappointing. The shrimp were overcooked, lacked flavor, and tasted previously frozen. I'm just being honest-especially since I was visiting on vacation. For the price, it definitely wasn't worth it, and I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Savage Shrimp - Garlic Scampi Plate - Seafood Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

I thought this place was just okay but that may be more personal preference. The food was ready really quickly. Quality of the shrimp was decent but I didn't prefer the sauces they used so once again may be more so personal preference. The garlic chunks were really but on the garlic butter shrimp and I generally like it better when it better diced or chopped up instead of the entire clove. I like the coconut fried shrimp more than the non fried one. There is seating there which is nice. read more

Savage Shrimp Hit the Spot! After some much-needed walking and shopping therapy, hunger kicked in--and Savage Shrimp caught my eye. Spotted garlic shrimp on the menu and immediately thought, "Oooh, like Giovanni's!" Waited a quick 10 minutes, and bam--served hot and ready. Not exactly the same as Giovanni's, but still totally delicious. Packed with flavor and definitely worth the stop. Hit the spot! read more

In Hawaii one must order a shrimp plate and this was a solid place to visit. It is situated on the side of shopping center with limited seating and a walk up counter. The garlic shrimp was pretty good. Not as flavorful as others I have tried. The Cole slaw was solid. Portions were a little smaller but kept me going till dinner. read more

Placed an order through the website, my fault for leaving a tip prior to picking up our food. The lady working the registered pointed to the table with my order when I told her I was picking up my order (didn't even ask my name). We purchased 3 meals and there was no bag for my boxes when I picked up my order. The garlic shrimp was hardly seasoned and very bland. The spicy shrimp was ok but also very under seasoned. We've had some very good shrimp plates on multiple islands and this was not it! read more

Mid experience, wondering if I just ordered the wrong thing. A small hole in the wall place in the shopping plaza that I was excited to try. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate which was labeled as a fan favorite, but honestly, there was nothing really to write home about as I barely tasted anything. The rice mightve been the best part. Also, paying like two dollars extra for them to peel the shrimp seems kind of crazy too. Friendly service though which was nice. Was just kind of dissapointed in my selection, would recommend trying something else. read more

This looks like an absolute hole in the wall, but it's delicious! You order right at the door and sit at one of the few tables out front. Everything comes out quickly, and so good. Each plate has quite a few shrimp that you will need to peel yourself unless you request they come already peeled, rice and this delicious and tangy slaw. We were starving and ate everything up very quickly. We got two orders of the fire rock plate, one no ka oi plate, and one aloha plate. We also ordered a cheese quesadilla for our 5 year old which wasn't anything special but was eaten up. read more

I was excited to see a spot that had garlic butter shrimp near our hotel. I was a little skeptical when I read the bad reviews but passed by one afternoon and saw the food looked good. So, we came here one night for dinner and we were do disappointed! We all got some form of non fried shrimp and all the shrimp was clearly from frozen. They were small and mushy. The flavor also didn't permeate the shrimp so you had a bland shrimp swimming in butter. I gave 2 stars because the staff was super friendly. read more

After shopping in the marketplace, we stopped in at Savage Shrimp for an order of coconut shrimp. Food came out fast and was really delicious. Loved the dipping sauce and slaw. Best prices in Kauai for coconut shrimp too. Highly recommend! read more

Sad to say but the quality and size of shrimp went down. Our first time here was about 12 years ago and it was delicious. Now, the shrimps looks and tastes frozen. The garlic sauce was super oily and not flavorful. Unfortunate, cause this was a favorite of ours. read more

Good food good service and fast! Very convenient. Seating right outside the restaurant and shopping center

2.5 stars. Flavor wise the food is actually decent but it was a rip off for the price. The portions are so small and the pineapple curry was slightly disappointing - it just didn't feel like there was that much passion in the cooking. read more

Disclaimer: this may make you feel sick. We ordered some food and had actually a very delicious lunch. Afterwards, I went over to the women's bathroom... and before I walked in.... the woman who had been at the register, serving the food, went in before me. Dark short hair. She took the last stall so I had to wait 5 to 10 minutes while she finished using the toilet for a prolonged amount of time. This wasn't just a simple #1. I heard her on her phone watching videos. Then, she came out and DID NOT WASH HER HANDS!! This person serves food; defecated... and didn't wash hands. How is this possible? I will never eat at that place again. I almost vomited what I just ate. GROSS. read more

Savage Shrimp was convenient, affordable, and a solid lunch while shopping. Husband says his fire rock shrimp wasn't that spicy.

Stopped by on a Saturday just before 5pm for take out. They charge an extra $0.50 per item for to go. There was no wait to order. I ordered a garlic shrimp plate - $16.95 and Bahia tacos - $13.95. Shrimps were of standard size. It tastes alright for what it is. read more

Stopped in for lunch in the midst of snorkeling and swimming. A shared fish and chips was plenty for our party of two. Seating is outside but there was plenty for the diners that were there. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. Will come again. read more

Hit and miss! Unfortunately the once great Savage Shrimp Food Truck that started it all is no more. If you're expecting the new restaurant (new owners) to be the same, you'll be disappointed. It is now just average! The service was ok, but the quality varies from day to day depending on who is working. Poor quality control and consistency at best. I went twice because the first time was decent. However, when I went the second time the shrimp was bland and had no garlic butter sauce. I went back and requested some extra sauce and was initially told I would have to pay for it. I was ultimately given extra sauce for no charge. It was still very bland. Go on the weekend if you want the better version of what they have to offer. Still I won't be going back. It happens far too often that great restaurants are sold and the new owners aren't able to retain the magic of the original! read more

After reading the reviews I was a tad hesitant to go, but I'm glad I went. The restaurant itself is order at the door and then eat at tables outside. Super simple concept. Nothing fancy. I ended up trying the garlic shrimp unpeeled (they peel it for you for $2), which was really yummy and hit the spot. The garlic flavor was just enough and the plate itself was the right portion. So glad I tried. read more

I was watching the sunset in Koloa and realized that I needed to grab some dinner before everything closed. Savage Shrimp to the rescue! I chose the Bario shrimp. It was peeled and full of flavor with the coconut milk, tomatoes and onions. It came with rice and a coleslaw salad. I ordered over the phone and they had it ready and waiting by the time that I got there. Yum!!!! read more

It's tasty, feels like there are vaguely healthy options, and the price is about as reasonable for the area as it gets. Food is ready quickly and you can sit in their small outdoor area or go to a nice nearby park with an ocean view. The spicy shrimp with pineapple was nice. The slaw was just a pile of cabbage with a glop of some sauce but the sauce was good and you can mix it together yourself. The taco plates are very loaded, so it's hard to eat the tacos as tacos, and we just used forks to eat the shrimp and tomatoes and such. The food wasn't too greasy. The drink selection is somewhat limited, cans of soda and Hawaiian juices. read more

Ambience: located in an esthetically pleasing shopping center. Not much seating. No indoor seating, and only about four outdoor tables with a few additional benches. Two stars. Service: Service was pleasant and efficient. Food was ready within about 10 mins of ordering. It was quick. Four stars. Food: Good was served hot and quick. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate. Portion of rice and coleslaw that accompanied garlic shrimp were small. Not much garlic on the shrimp. I would give it about a 2.5 star rating. Overall it averages out to a 3.17 rating. So round down to a 3 star rating. It was worth it to try but I wouldn't eat here again. read more

I don't normally leave bad reviews because I don't want to contribute to the downfall of a small business but I felt compelled to warn others. Food was really bad. If you were expecting a Hawaiian garlic shrimp plate, trust me.... this is not it. Just bland shrimp on a bed of rice with a few flakes of garlic. Their kalua pork is more like bbq pulled pork but with bad bbq sauce. read more

Super disappointing. Ordered 7 plates and got 8 shrimp per plate... Portion size was abysmal. Stay away. read more

We asked if the shrimp they use is "Kaua'i shrimp" and the lady had to ask another person, and the person said yes. Looking at our plates, it's NOT Kaua'i shrimp. The shrimp came out small, and the food was bland at best. Please stop lying to customers, not all of are tourist from another country or state. read more

We've seen Savage Shrimp every time we visited The Shops at Kukui'ula over the last few years but this was our first time trying it. We were on the island during Lent and it was a Friday (no meat) so for us, it was time. Located just across the parking lot from Long's Drugs near Lappert's Ice Cream.... Covid protocols were still in place (February 2022) so there was no dine-in. It was strictly take-out but there were a handful of tables just outside the restaurant where people were eating their orders. I went with the fried shrimp & fish plate ($15.50)... It comes with fries, 2 kinds of dipping sauce (tartar & sweet n sour) for the 2 pieces of fried white fish & 5 coconut breaded shrimp. It was good. Even though I could have used another piece of fish, it was a filling portion altogether. The fish was nice & flaky. The shrimp were fresh, big and went great with the sweet n sour dipping sauce. My lady had been wanting a plate of garlic shrimp ($15.50) and finally had it. She was one happy girl. It comes with about 6-7 shell-on fresh garlic seasoned shrimp, 2 scoops of rice and a side salad. It's exactly what she's been wanting from our previous trips and it took our 5th time to the island for her to finally have a garlic shrimp plate. For her it was worth the wait. Service was friendly but the wait was a little long. It was fine, as we werent in a hurry but when the food was finally ready, we were starved... We would eat at Savage Shrimp again for sure. read more

We got the Bahia plate and were pretty disappointed. While the shrimp and greens were fresh, the flavor was kinda...bland. The sauce doesn't even stay on the shrimp and was more like a small layer of soup. It definitely needs more bold seasoning. The container is also not very insulated so be careful; I almost dropped my meal because it was so hot at first. read more

I went to Savage Shrimp on two separate occasions while in town for the week, it was one of the few spots open the majority of the time in the shopping center. Feedback is mixed depending on the dish you get. The coconut shrimp were delicious! Perfectly battered and crunchy, and I think you can get these a la carte. We also got the garlic shrimp which were finger licking good! On the second trip I got the shrimp tacos which were good but seemed small to be much of a meal and recommend getting other food on the side if you're hungry. I'd recommend sticking to the shrimp plates. read more

The lady who took our order was nice. The food came out quick. Those are the only positives I can state. The tables were not inside the restaurant but outside and dirty with bird shit. No, they weren't that busy that they couldn't wipe down the damn tables for their customers. I ordered the garlic shrimp which was their popular order. My husband ordered the kahlua pork. Both of our portions were comically small but pricey. Like wtf. My husband liked his kahlua pork but wasn't enough to satiate him for dinner. The garlic shrimp was mushy, not fresh, bland and you had to peel the fucking shrimp yourself or pay more to have them shell free. Talk about nickel and diming folks. We will not be back and would like to tell others the value isn't there and to avoid the shrimp if you do decide to eat there. We then walked down to Living foods and grabbed more to eat which was way better. Very upsetting experience. Maholo. read more

Savage Shrimp is located at the Kukulu Village in the Poipu beach area. I had to try the garlic shrimp with the scoop of garlic rice and slaw. I opted to pay an extra 2 bucks for the shells to be peeled. My meal was pretty good with the shrimp being good sized (10) and the flavor of the garlic was fresh. My kids got the fried options and my oldest thought the calamari was good but the little one didn't care for the chicken fingers but who gets chicken fingers at a shrimp place. I suppose someone with a boring palate of an 11 year old. There is limited outdoor seating here and the line moved at a good pace. Service at the counter was friendly. One thing to note is that they will charge you for .50 cents per item for a to go charge. Would I try this place again when we're on the island, most likely not since there are so many other food options but I'm glad we did check it out as it was a decent meal. read more

If you're looking to try Hawaiian garlic shrimp plates... go somewhere else. Seriously. I suppose this is one of those "tourist trap" restaurants since it's in a shopping plaza near a bunch of resorts. The prices are high for a really subpar shrimp plate. I came here because of the convenience - I felt like having a garlic shrimp plate, this place was within walking distance, and 3.5 stars can vary on Yelp. Unfortunately this was one of those situations where I should have been more wary. We both got the garlic shrimp plate. For a place called "Savage Shrimp", it felt like frozen Costco shrimp that had been defrosted and cooked in a little butter/garlic. The shrimp were small and measley compared to other places I've gone too. It didn't even look like their pictures. The sauce wasn't as strong in flavor - it was really weak and just felt watery/oily. Hell I could made a better garlic shrimp dish at home with Costco frozen shrimp... I'd at least be a little more authentic and use head on shrimp. The rice was a little overcooked with some crunchy fried garlic - didn't really work for this plate. The salad was laughable - just some plain shredded coleslaw, no dressing. For $15, it really felt like a rip off. I'm all for supporting local businesses especially during these trying times... but the the food here really isn't worth my business. There are other shrimp places to explore on the island with better Yelp ratings, so I'd recommend passing on this one. read more
