Shrimp Basket in Destin was hands down the best meal we've had all weekend so far! From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food was absolutely outstanding. The shrimp basket lived up to its name and then some, perfectly cooked, crispy, flavorful, and generously portioned. Every bite was fresh and delicious, and it's easy to see why this place is a local favorite. If you're in Destin and craving seafood, Shrimp Basket is a must-visit. We will definitely be back before heading home! read more

Loved this place. Very relaxed, chill area with good southern cooking. The server was on the ball and when I asked for sweet potato fries to be not soggy she made sure it happened. Had mahi dip with homemade chips that I recommend everyone get! It was amazing! The catfish was so so but the shrimp was delicious. The cheese grits were good but peppery (black pepper). I'm not a fan of black pepper in my grits but everything else about the grits was great. And the okra! Yyuuuummmm Absolutely recommend! read more

It took over an hour to get a reasonable order for 6 people on a Wednesday night. The service staff was very nice. We had 4 hungry kids and they were melting by the time food arrived at the table. Very disappointed. read more

The crab and shrimp boil here was way better than other local places. 2 big clusters of crab and tons of shrimp and potatoes with sausage and corn. The crab was cooked perfect and slid right on out in big clumps. Priced reasonable too! Outside seating is nice as inside doesn't have much but it's cozy. Service was great, downside was there is only 1 women's/men's bathroom so if you or a kiddo really has to go and someone's in there, not fun to wait with everyone. read more

Food came out fast and stayed warm for quite a bit. Food tasted delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive. read more

First timers here in this small cozy Restaurant. Greeted by Alex our server who was just so nice and friendly. We ordered the Coconut shrimp and combo platter. Excellent service and food was delicious. 9 big pieces of coconut shrimp with the best cheesy grits ever. So tasty & husband's meal was also delicious. He loved the white fish and green beans were so yummy. Decided to try Key Lime pie and it was a small slice on a caramel sauce. It was good but a little pricey. We will definitely be back as we want to try other things on their menu. Kudos again to Alex who was very attentive to detail. read more

Ate here three times in four days!! Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Etouffe and Boom Boom Shrimp were some of my favs! Grouper sandwich was great as well. Received great service when I dined in twice as well as when I placed a pickup view. The vibe is very chill like lunch vibes, don't worry about being in flip flops and t-shirts :) read more

Amazing service from our waiter who stated it was her first day! She was efficient and caring! Great atmosphere. Fun place to bring the kids. The crawfish etouffee was fantastic! Shrimp po-boy was large and they did not short change you on shrimp! The only negative I have was the bill! Two adults and 3 small children cost us $100. read more

Food was just okay. My meal had a variety of fried seafood. The stuffed crab tasted like Thanksgiving stuffing with no taste of crab. Some of the oysters were cut small then breaded and fried. The shrimp and fish were fine. Fries were good. And servers were very welcoming. But, probably wouldn't be back, did not feel it was worth what my family paid. read more

Poor service, great fries, don't order the grouper sandwich unless you want a sandwich with only 2 bites of fish on it! Waitress never checked on us. Others came in after us, had a different waitress. They ate before we ordered and left when our food arrived! Go somewhere else! read more

Loved it. Kept going back on this trip. Not the best we had but good food and price is right. Had lobster roll, coconut shrimp, grouper. All were good. Patio was very nice, service was great. Sometime later: I just read a news story about a chef there who saved the life of a regular elderly customer who failed to show up, went looking for him, found him at home down on the floor. This is outstanding service. read more

Shrimp Basket in Gulf Breeze is awesome. My fiancé and I have been there a few times now. The food is always fresh and super delicious, and quick to come out. All the servers we've met have been super sweet. I tried a Bushwhacker for the first time -- it was so good. The atmosphere is really laid-back and very kid-friendly; there are lots of families whenever we go. Such a great spot, we love it! read more

I'm a fan. I've enjoyed eating here over the years when we come to the area. The food is tasty. The service is decent. The dining area is clean. We ate outside. I ordered shrimp and grits. It wasn't fancy looking with huge shrimp nonetheless the popcorn shrimp and sausage hit the spot. I would recommend and will be returning. read more

Had the popcorn shrimp with fries along with corn fritters. Honestly, I come in for the fritters but all the other food is awesomely prepared and tastes great. Tori did a great job serving. Highly recommended! read more

As always the food and service were excellent. They allowed our four month old dachshund to join us on the patio. Above board service - they fixed her a bowl of ice water!! read more

I'm not sure if this is related to one in Gulfport, but this had outstanding service all around. But the winner for the day is the fire shrimp. Omg. So much shrimp on Taco that i couldn't even pick up to eat. Sloppy but Damm worth every bite. read more

Let me start by saying I've been to many of the Pensacola beach tourist trap mega restaurants. While they have huge menus with lots of choices, they lack in any one thing being fabulous. Shrimp basket is a smaller low key place to actually get delicious food! read more

Shrimp Basket, my friends, is not just a place to eat shrimp. It's a cosmic journey into the depths of crustacean delight! The fried shrimp, oh my goodness, it's like the ocean gave birth to flavor right on your plate. And the chicken Caesar salad? It's not just a salad, it's a symphony of greens and poultry perfection! But let me tell you about the service. It's not just service, it's a spiritual awakening. They greet you with smiles that could power a solar panel farm. And the happiness? It's contagious! I haven't seen this much joy since Tomorrowland 2013 .You know, I wish every workplace was as harmonious and joyful as the Shrimp Basket. So here we are, second year in a row, and twice this week alone! Why? Because when you find a place that combines shrimp, chicken, and cosmic joy in one cosmic burst, you keep coming back. Shrimp Basket isn't just a restaurant, it's a state of mind !" read more

In all my years visiting Pensacola, I've never tried this place until today. I was concerned it was average, but let me tell you, there's nothing average about this place! They have bar seating, tabletop and outdoor space for eating. Chelsea gave wonderful service and suggestions. I took her advice and tried the Boom Boom shrimp tacos. Wow! Absolutely delicious! 2 tacos with a semi spicy kick, fries and coleslaw. Everything was fantastic! They serve the tacos with a cucumber ranch that was perfect for dipping my fries (I didn't want to put it on my tacos because they were perfect with the sauce they were cooked in). SB also has great sweet tea. I'm so glad I finally tried this place. $15.14 without tip. It was the least expensive meal of my trip, but the best! That's a good value! I will return on my next visit. Very pleased! read more

Do not order the catfish! it was horrible with a bad aftertaste! The cheese grits and hush puppies were delicious! Those 2 items saved a bad dining experience! read more

Great staple after a day at the beach or if you are looking for a quick bite with the family. Other restaurants on beach have better views, no doubt, and they have their on specialties and charm, but also an 1 hour wait. However, the southern style seafood at the Shrimp Basket is just as good at those $$$ tourists restaurants here on Pcola Beach. If you are looking for fried seafood they have it all, but if you are like me, over 50, they also have grilled and blackened fish at a reasonable cost. Service is quick and very pleasant. Also, the hard working waitresses with their southern accent bring a little extra charm to this spot. So as you take a breath from those "no stress" family vacations (sarcasm intended) and enjoy the warm gulf breeze on the Shrimp Basket's open air covered patio, you will understand why locals make this spot their go to staple for seafood. read more

I was honestly shocked at how good this place is. The white fish was amazing and my kids ate all of their food. By the looks of it I wasn't thinking anyone would like it but it was close to where we stayed. I would have gone back if I would have known the quality of food. They also offer all you can eat, which isn't my thing but someone reading this might want to go eat the white fish! read more

So many things were amazing about this place! Firstly, our waitress, Kendal, was absolutely great! She made the experience so much more fun and enjoyable! She was very sweet, tentative, and fast. Secondly, the food was outstanding! I had the coconut shrimp and it was some of the best that I have ever had! Thirdly, the boom boom sauce alone could make the restaurant! It's safe to say that Shrimp Basket is a must go to spot for when you come to Pensacola! read more

Inside, outside dining options. We got there when they opened so no wait. Staff was friendly. We ordered the crab cake platter. 3 nice size crab cakes on a bed of lettuce. 2 small hush puppies and a small corn fritter. I got the new potatoes, they need more flavor but was ok. This place wasn't too bad. I would try it again. Needs bigger hush puppies and corn fritters!! read more
