This restaurant is a nice one right on Highway 59 in Foley. We stopped to get seafood on our way to the beach. We seated immediately upon entering the restaurant by a very nice and friendly hostess. Our server came to get our order briefly, explained the menu and gave us time to make a decision. The decor is typical of a seafood restaurant. There are plastic crabs on the wall, pictures of beaches and other sea life. The service is very friendly and fast. The food itself was presented well flavored well and very tasty. I ordered the grilled flounder which came with coleslaw hush puppies and two sides. My chosen sides were sweet potato fries, and broccoli. Everything tasted delicious and was not too salty. My friend ordered the seafood platter. All of her meal was fried and looked very good. My friend was disappointed because she visits every year and noticed that they had removed white fish from the menu. Regardless of this disappointment, we enjoyed our food and probably will return. read more

Last time I go to Shrimp Basket. We ordered online at 5:30 pm. Arrived at 6 and received food at 6:35pm. No one knew what was going on another customer left because it took more than 40 minutes to get their food. One of my sides was sweet potato fries and they gave me like 10 fries - are you kidding me? Evidently their work release staff had to leave early. So no cook works there. Unbelievable! Didn't offer me a discount either. It should have been free. If you are struggling- be honest and say it will be 30 minutes, or our cook staff left! Crappy place! It had been my deceased father's favorite spot in Foley. Gotten sorry. read more

Shrimp Basket - Seafood Near Me - Foley, Alabama

If you're in the mood for friendly down to earth service, you found it. If you want pretentious, don't come. It's like your favorite dive bar. Couple TVs on, a bar near the kitchen, inside and outside seating. The food comes in a plastic basket. Don't forget dessert. The Key Lime pie tastes to me like the real deal, and the brownie bites are the real star here. They also have their own beer, brewed by Fairhope Brewing. Otherwise it's the mass distributors. Prices are reasonable too. read more

I haven't been to the Shrimp Basket in years ... but, I can remember when they were the only place in Foley, Alabama, that actually served fried, boiled, or scampi shrimp served up in a plastic basket. They were very reasonably priced, their hushpuppies and coleslaw had tiny baby shrimps in it, and they served small new potatoes with your meal. They didn't complain about you needing to take leftovers home either, like many of the local restaurants do now. And, you could eat inside, as we always did, or you could eat outside on a umbrella table, in the 1000 degree humid heat temperature with all the bugs and mosquitos flying at you and getting into your food! We made so many memories there, together, that I will never forget. Take care and be safe. Patsy Walker Ronemous RN read more

Great service. No frills but food was good. We went on a Tuesday for 79 cent oysters. You have to buy something else to qualify but it was worthwhile. read more

All you can eat oysters, 79c each! They changed the game this year and you have to order an appetizer or entrée with the oysters. We sat on the outside deck with our pup and enjoyed2 dozen with a bowl of gumbo. Out waitress was friendly and brought out the second dozen as I was finishing the first. There is lots of traffic noise from Hwy. 73. read more

Food was great! Service was good! Prices were reasonable! Convenient location! Will definitely eat there again!!

Great Service!!! Shaina checked up on us so often making sure that we had everything we needed such as drink refills especially. The food was also tasty and came out quickly. Thank you (: read more

We just ate there. The server was very unfriendly and turned our first trip there into our last. She either hates her job or she just hates white people. The oysters and the Gumbo were good. Everything else was fried to death. Service was terrible. read more

Three years ago - same today. Between the breading of each tiny piece was a tiny piece of flounder(?) in a full basket order filled with French fries, two tiny hush puppies and a button sized corn fritter. read more

Shrimp Basket in Foley is a perfect place for a delicious bowl of seafood gumbo. I have eaten gumbo since a child when my grandmother would make a huge homemade pot of this delicious southern deliciousness- Shrimp baskets gumbo touched my soul with the dark roux seasonings and gravy like texture! I recommend not only because of the gumbo but the wait staff are remarkable! read more

This is a locally owned chain. My uncle loves this restaurant and wanted us to visit when we came in town. Lots of seafood options, the drink specials were pretty Amazing too. They have both inside and outside seating. We opted to eat outside. My grandma ordered a salad, my uncle the shrimp po boy, and I ordered the pineapple habanero wings with fries. They have homemade ranch that I would buy by the bottle. Great service. read more

Sub par food at best, NOT impressed in the least! Best thing about the entire experience was that we had a very lovely server! Sorry, won't be back read more

The food and service was amazing, our server Samantha P. was timely and sweet as could be and very attentive. The food was fresh and tasted great. 10/10 if you want fresh food and great service this is the place to come. read more

Would I recommend shrimp basket? Yes, on a couple of conditions. I would not eat at the one at the beach. It's a total tourist trap. We ate at the Foley location today for their happy hour and their oyster special. Being used to New Orleans area seafood you can get kind of spoiled with prices and amount of food compared to other areas. We had two dozen oysters that were beautiful Louisiana oysters by the way. They were fresh and very tasty. We had the fried pickles and Yuengling beer all on happy hour. Our waitress was justice and she did a fabulous job very friendly welcoming knowledgeable very pleasant. I can recommend the shrimp basket during their specials outside of that. I'm not 100% sure. read more

We love the shrimp basket! We've always had good service and the food is great as well as their iced tea! read more

Service: quick and friendly. I think they are going through new staff, but nonetheless our orders were taken care of Food: *wings- new on the menu. The pineapple mango habanero sauce (not spicy at all) was very delicious. It's not your regular wing where the skin is crunchy, but still good. *shrimp skewers- over cooked. Barely had any of the sauce that it comes with. The rice was dry and bland. *gumbo- not what I expected Overall, a place you try once and that's it. read more

I love this place! The prices are great, and you get a generous portion of food. The Coconut Shrimp Basket is a must-try--perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Pair it with the Hurricane cocktail for a great combo! Our server, Hannah, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back! read more

What happened? The food was always excellent! Menu was changed and it now it tasted like low grade dog food. Lower portions and higher priced. Been going here for several years and was never disappointed until now. Service was good the food not so much... read more

Shrimp Basket is one of my favorite restaurants and on this day we had a group of 6 for lunch. I enjoyed my favorite menu item of the popcorn shrimp with the shrimp slaw, fries and hush puppies along with a bushwhacker with a floater of peanut butter whiskey. read more

Stopped by today around 3 pm, our server, Lily was absolutely wonderful. Our 1/2 a pound shrimp appetizer was cooked to perfection. For our main meal we had 5 dozen raw oysters, they were all shucked perfect, crackers were super fresh. It was one of the best meals we had in a while. Thank you Lily and Shrimp Basket. read more

We went for lunch. Food was great! We had the fried shrimp basket! The service was quick & very good!

Always a solid old school local place that was easy to get in and out of even with a small group of 5. It's a shrimp place so we all had either fried or blackened shrimp. Food was good as expected and service was very good. read more

This place has good food, and the servers are helpful and friendly, but this particular restaurant had two servers when there should've been at least four servers. The gumbo, etoufee, and other seafood was right on point, but the raw oysters were about as lethargic as any oysters I've ever seen. So, eat anything, just don't spend the money on oysters, it isn't worth it. read more

We had a recommendation to try shrimp basket while visiting the area from the sales associate at Ron jon. I looked it up, and saw some pretty mediocre reviews. Thus, we went somewhere else. The following day, we decided we wanted seafood again. We went into a different restaurant where the service was bad, so we left. Drove to another place, which appeared to be closed. We headed back to the place where we were staying. I spotted the shrimp basket, so we pulled in. I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing. Absolutely delicious, all fresh, we even ordered more than what we planned after receiving the first plate. It was well seasoned and hot. Not greasy at all. The sauces and sides were also amazing. Our server Shania was incredibly sweet as well. I would definitely come back and also recommend to others. read more

We had the Seafood Boil for 2. It was a lot of food...crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and red potatoes. Boiled in a bag.....to perfection! It was the coolest thing and we almost ate it all!! Best, best dinner we've had in a long time. Served with butter, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce. Great service also! read more

We decided to go here for lunch and enjoyed our time. The margarita was a little tart. The food was pretty tasty. I had the grilled combo platter with shrimp and white fish. Both were really good. We also got the smoked Mahi dip which was better than expected. Our server, Lilly, was fantastic. She was very attentive, personable, and was a little sassy at the right time (which we loved). Overall, we enjoyed this place. read more

Everything we ordered was GREAT! The firecracker fries are worth getting!! This place needs to be everywhere. We will definitely have to eat here again before leaving. read more

the food was amazing and the service was incredible, our server was Kayla and she was the best, always at our table and making sure everything looks right and our standards were beyond met. read more

Bad decision to order out from there. They didn't give us our slaw, cocktail sauce or tartar either. The fries were hard and tasteless. It use to be fairly good but it wasn't worth the price. The girl serving us was friendly and accommodating. read more

We started off with the onion strings, which were absolutely perfection. They weren't too hard. They weren't too soft. They were just perfect. Then my husband had the shrimp basket and I had the shrimp combination plate. My shrimp were blackened; his word deep-fried. Again, they were cooked to perfection Not the least bit rubbery. Our server, Lily, helped me find the right choice for my dinner. She was very knowledgeable and very willing to help us. The service was very, very good. Even the french fries were perfect. If we were in town, we would eat here often.. You can't go wrong. read more

The shrimp basket, fried okra, corn fritters and hush puppies were out of this world!! That shrimp will have me coming back here every time I'm visiting the area. If you come, ask for Misty, she's amazing!!! And my folks loved the coconut shrimp. read more

The food here was delicious. I ordered a combo fried basket - shrimp and whitefish. The shrimp were good, but the whitefish was the real winner. Perfectly breaded & seasoned ... it was flaky and delicious. There were no complaints from my husband and son - who ordered coconut shrimp and a crawfish po'boy, which they shared both. My daughter also happily ate her Caesar salad with no complaints. A great dining experience - and we ended up here on a whim - when Lambert's had a 1.5 hour wait that I was not willing to partake in. read more
