Thursday lunch special was shrimp, FF, coleslaw and hush puppies. Quality of the food was worth 5 stars: hot, fresh, and tasty. They do not have iced tea- fair selection of bottled drinks tho. I did not get a drink so i do not know if they have cups with ice. Its a carnival type of trailer serving food from a window. Do not let this stop you- food was worthy of any sit-down place. Everything was served "to go" in a bag. When i sat down to eat i discovered napkins and silverware were not included- only 4 stars for service. Cole slaw without a fork is difficult. I would go again, just more aware that i need to pay attention. Seating is outside with generous picnic tables and umbrellas. Hot or rainy days might be less comfortable, but a sunny January day was perfect. read more

My favorite go-to meal is easily the buffalo shrimp !! Come hungry though ... Cause they ain't playing when it comes to portion size !!! read more

We drove past Shrimp Landing on our way to Fort Island Gulf beach. After spending some time at the beach we decided to get some lunch. We found Shrimp Landing on Yelp and the reviews sounded good. We ended up getting the last parking spot in front of the food truck area. The parking lot was packed. It's basically a food truck/trailer set up. There were plenty of picnic tables set up. They did have some gluten free options. We got the 1 pound of old bay cooked peel and eat shrimp. The 1 pound price was a better deal than the 1/2 pound. Everything came out quickly. The shrimp was really plump and tasty. The worker even brought out some ice water in a dish for our puppy. We really enjoyed the fresh air and watching the pelicans. The bathroom was even super clean. Would recommend if you are in the area. read more

Got the one pound shrimp basket that came with fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. Usually when you get a lot of shrimp it's because they aren't good, today that wasn't the case. Not only was there a sh!tlo@d of shrimp but they were exactly what I want in a fried shrimp. The sides were excellent as well which only added to the experience. Had the exact same meal the day before at Crab Plantation, and it was thoroughly disappointing so if you're in the market for shrimp, don't go there. And yeah I know "why did you get shrimp at a place called Crab Plant", because I was hungry and wanted shrimp and they had shrimp. Staff was friendly and food came out relatively fast considering how busy it was. Will definitely be back for more shrimp at Shrimp Landing. Here's a photo that I remembered to take after eating half the shrimp. Only downside is the no see ums, so if you're there in the evening maybe throw some bug spray on. Enjoy. read more

Shrimp Landing - Fried Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

This is a great new spot that you can get to by boat or car. It is a food truck outside a marina. The staff are friendly and the service is great. There are picnic tables with and without umbrellas you can sit at. It's always great to have a view of the water and see boats passing by. We tried the fish tacos $15 and fries $4. Food came out fast and fresh! We will be back! read more

My husband and I came here after paddleboarding to Three Sisters Springs. We had worked up an appetite after two hours of paddling and were craving some seafood. I had this place bookmarked since they have fresh seafood and it's right on the water. When you pull up and walk toward the location, you see the fisherman and your companies docking with their fresh catches and cleaning the fish. The restaurant itself is technically a food trailer outside of the market, near the docks. They have a ton of outdoor seating right on the river and restrooms a few steps away. For lunch, my husband ordered the snapper sandwich and I got the fried shrimp basket. The service was friendly and the food was prepared promptly. My shrimp were fresh and came with a side of cole slaw, fries, and a hush puppy. My husband also got fries and a hush puppy with his order. Everything was cooler perfectly and the portions were huge. It's definitely not a "fancy" place for dining, but the freshness is unmatched. We will definitely be returning next time we're in the area! read more

Shrimp Landing - Fried shrimp basket with fries, cole slaw, and a high puppy - Seafood Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

Great spot for a relaxing lunch. Picnic tables, pelicans and good food - can't ask for more much more. Youngest got a combo basket of oyster, clams and snapper. He liked the snapper best. My snapper tacos (grilled) were spot on. Hubby enjoyed his clam strips and oldest liked the grouper sandwich. Just wish the baskets came with more than one hush puppy - the bite shared with me was spectacular! read more

LAWD HAVE MERCY! Today I noticed this place on my way to Fort Island Gulf Beach for the first time with my elderly father. I knew immediately I wanted to go there for a late lunch. We were able to get a parking spot right in front. There is a menu on a board and you order at the truck. You are given a timer that will buzz when your food is ready. Clean picnic tables next to the water. Some in sun some in shade. Staff very friendly. Clean bathrooms. You can go for an air boat ride and also charter a boat I believe. They will cook up what you catch fishing. Now the food. SLAMMING. Very reasonable for the amount of food they give you. I had a pound of the blackened shrimp w/ crunchy French fries and really good slaw. & 2 of the best hush puppies I've ever had. Also delicious cocktail sauce that I did not need but had to have because you can tell it's house made. My father had the blackened grouper sandwich. Came with fries and a hush puppy. He loved it. I tried the fish very succulent, cooked to perfection. read more

Overall a great place. Will definitely be coming back. I didn't see the menu online so I took photos to share. Ordered: 1 full rack of ribs right off the smoker - they were excellent. They only have these on weekends but we lucked out and they had them today for the New Year. Also ordered the fish combo with grouper, snapper and sheep's head fish. You can have it grilled, blackened or fried. We opted for grilled. The fish was fresh and tasted great. Our only concern was that we Asked for the fish grilled without salt but it still has salted seasoning. read more

We stopped here after swimming with manatees in crystal river because our guide had made the recommendation. We had a group of about 6 of us so we tried a few different items. My fiancé and I shared the fried snapper with french fries and the brisket mac and cheese. The fried snapper and fries were absolutely delicious! Out of everything we tasted, that was by far the winner of our lunch. The brisket on the mac and cheese was really tender and delicious too. I never thought I'd say this, but the actual mac and cheese had way too much cheese for our liking and the cheese was pretty solid and not creamy. My parents had the brisket sandwich, which they said was pretty good. As we were finishing eating the owner told us that you can go fishing out on the river and come back and the food truck will cook up your fresh fish. I would definitely love to come back to do that! Overall, our experience was good and we would come back, mostly for the fried fish (or shrimp next time)! read more

Exactly what you expect from a true seafood fresh from the water joint. It's a good truck but quality of a sit down place. See the photos. They plan to expand the eating area as it's right on the water and worth the few extra minutes from town. Highly recommend the seasoned shrimp, Clams, smoked wings, and blackened grouper ! read more

Cute food truck with seating in the water. Food is always solid and a good value. We got the Mahi special today and a grouper basket.

Tiny scraps of mahi mahi passed off as a sandwich. Fries and hush puppies were acceptable. I won't go back.

Pleasantly surprised on our on a whim stop here while exploring the coast. Delicious shrimp and fish taco's, my whole party was pleased with their meals. read more

Absolutely loved our fun lunch here! Everything is cooked to order. When we arrived we sort of expected food truck type food based on the trailer your order from and the picnic tables/all outdoor dining. I love food trucks but this wasn't a food truck experience. It was SO much more! We absolutely loved this fresh experience! And watching fishermen come in, fish getting filleted on the dock and cranes flying above the water was a fun change. I had the recommended grilled shrimp with fries. A perfect meal! My friend had the fried combo of calamari, scallops and shrimp. The calamari was probably the best anywhere we've been. The scallops were perfect! I didn't try her shrimp bc it was t offered haha! Side note; they clean constantly even though it's outside. Even the bathroom gets hosed out! This spot is really fun, fresh, and spotless! Enjoy! read more

Good value-price. The food is very tasty and savory. Nothing fancy, you can come with your beach clothes.

For a quick, fried food fill this will hit the spot. Great after a long day of being in the sun, whether on a boat or floating in the springs. It will fill you up so you can go home and take a nap, sunkissed and belly full. read more

We salute you friends at 'Shrimp Landing!" My mother and sister enjoyed gorgeous grilled fish and fried shrimp with a mountain of French fries. They raved about the flavor and freshness. I would love if you would offer a vegan/vegetarian lunch for us "strange ones," please. I had delicious coleslaw and French fries, but would love a protein option like hummus, fried pickles or cheese, or macaroni, or even grilled cheese (kids would love these too). The atmosphere was amazing with pelicans, boats, sunshine, fabulous music and the perfect spot to just enjoy the surroundings! Thank you so much! read more

Super delicious, a variety of options, and friendly too. A great spot if your spending time in the area. We ordered burgers, the fish dip, some Key lime pie, and 2 baskets (fried with fish, shrimp, calamari and grilled with fish, shrimp, and scallops). All the food was really good and worth the wait. The folks at the neighboring table also loved their food. The fish is different each day depending on what they have available. It's got picnic tables with and without shade as well as a restroom nearby. We were so hungry that we didn't take any food photos but everything was good. read more

While enjoying a day on the river. We found this gem with my yelp app. Off the beaten path, you'll find a marina and food truck. Everyone in the family was famished and ready to eat and this joint didn't disappoint. I had the combo basket to get a little bite of everything. Grouper, shrimp and scallops with coleslaw and hush puppies. All the food tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned. This place seems to be pretty busy on the weekends and is a great spot to find while cruising down the river. read more

After a day on Crystal River we drove down the road to experience a slice of old Florida fun!This place has been around since 1986 when the Ward's made it into a charter fish rental with a fresh fish market and a fresh cooked seafood restaurant. When we arrived the fishing charter boat had just come in with pounds and pounds of fresh red snapper. We walked past all the fishing gear and boats to the fresh Fish market and purchased a few pounds of of course Crystal River scallops. Along with a few dozen clams and some cooked foods. For the cooked foods we ordered fried shrimp grouper oysters and more scallops. Pick yourself a spot right by the river with a cool breeze at a picnic table eating fresh fried fish along with the most delicious hush puppies I've had in a long time. Reasonably priced outdoor dining with a spectacular view of fresh Florida sunset! read more

OVERPRICED! BLAND! OWNER IS CLEARLY MENTALLY ILL! Some friends and I went to eat here for the first time and we're shocked to death when treated like crap by the owner! We went to window to order and they were literally out of everything! No problem...Once we finally decided upon a fish basket we waited 45 min to receive 3 extremely tiny pieces of broken up old looking fish for $40. My husband and I went to the window to inquire about the missing food in our order and the owner just snapped and started screaming literally out of the blue! Saying "What do you want, do you want your money, just take your food and GO! We don't have any Catch of the day!!!" When I told him he was unprofessional he proceeded to make faces at me and slammed the sliding door in our face! He was screaming that people were complaining to everyone outside & although I had no clue who he was talking about but it's totally conceivable. He was screaming at his staff and treating them like crap in front of customers and was throwing food around the back. This man must be about to lose the business or something because he is obviously losing his mind! We immediately demanded our money back and went elsewhere! Even customers behind us got out of line and walked away! The food is mediocre at best for a typical food truck ! Do yourself a favor a go elsewhere this business is garbage! Owner now clearly has people he knows writing good reviews for him to combat the negative! Don't be fooled this place is Garbage ! read more

Their fried shrimp rocked. Might be the best fried shrimp I have ever had. Keep in mind it is not really a restaurant mostly a fish market and to go orders but we ate at their picnic table next to the boats and it was perfect. I saw an older review saying the shrimp was not fresh??? The day I was there, if the shrimp were any fresher they would be swimming. read more
