My husband and I love eating at Shrimp Basket on Davis Hwy. The food and service is always great. We had a young lady named Kaylynn that waited on us and she was great. I do have a problem though with a young lady that chastised another worker in front of all the patrons. Rather than talk to her in private to tell her what she was doing wrong she was very loud and used an ugly tone. We were sitting about halfway in the room and could hear everything andthe way she said it was very inappropriate.I believe the young lady's name was Brooklyn that was doing the chastising. I was surprised to see that. read more

Great food! And great service from our server, Tonee. The place was very busy but Tonee's sense of timing for taking our orders, bringing our food, and settling our bills was great. read more

I stopped by the Shrimp Basket on Davis Highway to pick up a shrimp basket for my mother and ordered the grouper sandwich for myself. First, I want to give credit where it's due. The young lady at the counter was extremely friendly, engaging, and had excellent customer service skills. She took the time to answer my questions about the menu, and when my grouper sandwich was accidentally left out of my order, she immediately checked with the kitchen and got it taken care of. She represented the restaurant very well. Unfortunately, the food itself was a disappointment. When I got to my car, I looked at the sandwich and honestly thought they had forgotten the fish because all I could see were the buns. After opening it, I found only three very small pieces of grouper, about the size of silver dollars. For a sandwich that cost around $16, I expected a full grouper filet or at least a much more substantial portion. The flavor was fine, but the value simply wasn't there. The amount of fish compared to the size of the bun made the sandwich feel overpriced, underwhelming and an afterthought. Great customer service deserves recognition, but I hope management takes a closer look at the quality and portion sizes. A grouper sandwich should actually look and feel like a grouper sandwich, especially on the Gulf Coast! read more

This was a cute spot in Pensacola. I came here with my Family who is very picky and sometimes they can embarrass you in a restaurant. I was glad they were just as happy as I was with the presentation and taste of the food. I ordered a combo which consist of fried catfish and fried shrimp. The catfish was nice and crispy and so were the shrimp. Both were seasoned pretty good and tasted really good. The hush puppies and corn fritters were also really good, I wish they had more than one corn fritter with the combo. I ordered a mai tai and I was not a fan of my drink. The mixture was way off. I should have stuck with a basic drink or a glass of wine. Overall, I had a great experience at the shrimp basket. The waitress was extremely nice and had a lot of patience. I would definitely come back. read more

Here's your Acme beach-side seafood restaurant. Right on the strip, right in the mix. If you're expecting super fresh, coastal shrimp and goodies, not so much. Fries were seasoned well and they have all the standards, but it doesn't hit for Foodies. This is all about "convenience mode" and how it looks on paper and proximity to beach amenities. Service was simple, bathrooms were gross; but beer was cold and there's a meal deal that looked appealing. If you're trapped on the paying side of the toll booth, this is an option, but sophisticated taste buds know better. read more

Just came into town for vacation and was waiting for our condo to be ready to check in so we stopped for some lunch. It wasn't very busy so was pretty quiet in there. I got the Chicken tender basket. My husband got the flounder basket. Both came out fresh and hot. All was pretty good. Service was pretty good too. read more

i have to mention oyster tuesday is a FANTASTIC deal, $9.48 for a dozen raw oysters!!! we sat outside at this smaller restaurant and it was pleasantly cozy, just don't expect anything too fancy! service was great but our server seemed a bit spread thin read more

New to the area and stopped in because I was craving steamed shrimp. I didn't get the waitresses name but she was working her butt off as she was handling all the tables. Kudos to her for having a positive attitude and still attentive to each guest. I downloaded the app and got a free queso and chips. That wasn't my favorite but wasn't there for that. The shrimp and crab legs were amazing. The corn was lacking flavor but some salt fixed that . The fries were a little soft but still enjoyed a few. Skipped on the coleslaw since it wasn't cold. I would definitely come back again because I heard they have different specials each night. read more

Excellent seafood, service is awesome, but it's just a bit pricy tho. Can't afford to do this very often.

Allison B was was awesome. It felt like we were having dinner at a friend's house. She was very warm & welcoming.

I spent 27$ on bad food. Ordered red beans and rice, got gumbo. Ordered shrimp po boy, bread so stale couldn't eat it. Since I ordered through Door Dash I had to go through them not Shrimp Basket for a refund. It was all on the restuarant not Door Dash. Shrimp Basket will never get a penny from me again, got food I couldn't eat! read more

Amazing gumbo! Great staff very friendly , absolutely love this place! Being originally from Baton Rouge I've been looking for a pace that reminds me of home. I definitely found it here. read more

I DONT KNOW HOW THIS PLACE MAKES MONEY. this has got to be the worst food i have ever ate. the fish is like old pieces of cardboard. fries are always old and cold. I would rather eat capt Ds over this. this is not the first visit btw, but I will never return. trash read more

I moved from New Orleans about 10 years ago and have, unfortunately, been unable to make it back since. I had yet to find a good bowl of gumbo since. That is, until, I traveled to Pensacola for work and stumbled upon the Shrimp basket. Best gumbo I've had since living in Nola and I will absolutely be back when I have to travel for work again. Exceptional service as well! My compliments to the chef! read more

Just had dinner with our buddy skipper on the patio. Let me say that I highly recommend this place. Let's start with Anna R. our server. She made sure skipper our puppy was comfortable, got a heater working because on this day it was about 56 outside... she recommended some items as we explained that we are returning to CA by car and while we we're here last week on our way to PSL, we opted to visit upon our return home. Wifey had the redfish.... Loved it. I had the country cowboy... smash burger. Mowed that down.... Ok skipper had some. I also had onion straws, which I found unique and flavorful, and she had the fish dip. Something we have discovered while here. The margarita was tasty. Beer is cold. Could not ask for better food or service. But seriously, it's starts with the warm greeting and kind service. We lucked out finding this spot. We shall return..... and definitely tell our friends. read more

Really great owner. Thank you for building community and serving your customers with great food

Huge waste of money! Cant believe they call themselves Shrimp Basket! For $22 paid extra for largest size gulf shrimp and got slightly bigger than popcorn size with soggy breading, no flavor, and not very many. Won't be back! read more

Seafood platter and chicken tenders were delicious. Seafood gumbo soup was okay. Service was good and food was fresh.

My lunch break is 1130-1230 so I have to eat quickly because you don't open until noon. There was almost 20 people at the door. So by the time I got in and got waited on I was late. Why did you change your lunch hours? Makes no sense.Food is great, staff is great. Hours are not friendly. You're shooting yourself in your foot. read more

Likely my last visit to the Davis Hwy location. Had a bad experience prior, gave another try tonight with a take out order because we have always had a great experience. We'll, tonight shown me they are falling apart. I rordered popcorn shrimp basket, got whole shrimp. Ordered a cheese grits side, what I got was by far the worst example of a cheese grits EVER! I threw that away. ​The catfish wasn't cooked completely...ugh. Worst experience I have ever had with them and very disappointed. read more

First night in town and we wanted someplace kind of close to our hotel and this was just down the block. Our appetizer was a dozen oysters on the half shell which were awesome! I ordered the fried oysters, my husband ordered the mahi-mahi. Both entrees were great, as were the sweet potato fries. Regular French fries were awful, lukewarm and limpy. Order the sweet potato fries (I meant to but didn't!) as they were perfect! Had key lime pie and funnel cake fries for dessert. Definitely would order the funnel cake fries over the key lime pie, but thought I'd try since we were in Florida and all. Service was good, and the interior was decent, just not SUPER clean, though not a dirty place either. Probably wouldn't go back given the amount of seafood restaurants in a 1 mile area around here. read more

My wife and I stopped in today (Sunday afternoon) and got take out. Mistake number 1! That's because we got down the road and realized just how horrible the food actually was! I got the grouper sandwich, which had the fishiest taste I've ever experienced. I literally had to spit it out. My wife got the seafood platter. Her fish also tasted extremely fishy! The oysters were like mush; to the point it made her gag!. We are just praying we don't get food poisoning, as we are traveling several hours today. I don't know if their freezers are bad, or if it was bad food. But we couldn't eat it. We spent $54 for food that we literally gagged on and threw away! To say we are displeased is an understatement! We will not be back! read more

Ashley and Tory are the best! The food is amazing and the environment is awesome! Will definitely be coming back!

We love the shrimp basket. I get the fried catfish and the fried pickles are the best I've ever had. Friendly and quick staff

The one in Navarre is great. Very relaxed, great food and super nice staff. We love this place.

My husband and I frequently come here for lunch. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I really can't say that I found anything that I didn't like. I must say the corn fritters, fried pickles and deep fried onion strings are one of my guilty pleasures. The price point and service is exceptional if you get the right server. We quickly learned, especially on you can eat days, ask for Alisis as our server. The not so great experience we had with servers in the past is solved!! read more

Food was typical southern seafood fare meaning delicious but fried. Large portions. Friendly staff.

On a work trip, this was near the hotel and after the first visit, we ended up eating here three different nights. The food quality is outstanding, whether fried or broiled, the staff is friendly, and it was an excellent value. read more

My husband tried the Garlic Parmesan wings & said they were "the best wings he's ever ate"!! My entree was blackened shrimp tacos that were delicious!!! We are hoping SB keeps the wings & shrimp tacos on their menu! Our server, Madison, was definitely a class act!! She was so friendly, knowledgeable of the new items on the menu as well as very prompt with drink refills. Unlike other locations of Shrimp Basket, this Davis Hwy location is VERY clean and remodeled making it a VERY enjoyable experience. We'll absolutely go back!!! read more
