“ I can't rave enough about how awesome this place was! Stopped in after finishing up moving into the area, and I had a craving for a Shrimp Poboy. It definitely exceeded expectations. Our host was so friendly and informative. He gave us several recommendations of must-see places in the area and was just a great conversationalist. My partner went with the Crab cake Sandwich and she absolutely loved it. If you've seen this place and thought about stopping by but haven't, this is your sign to do so. Great southern cooking! ”

“ The restaurant sits inside of a beautiful old home. It presents a cozy, southern setting for guests. Our waiter Teddy was quick with the service provided. The bang bang shrimp was cooked perfectly. It was a pleasant dining experience. ”
“ The Shrimp Box was a true hidden gem! We usually don’t eat at establishments such as this one, but this day we went with it and we were so glad we did! Don’t let the exterior or interior push you away. It almost did for us because we are most use to those commercialized establishments. As for the food, everything was fresh and cooked to perfection! The shrimp had the fresh ocean taste that comes from no other than straight from the water. The flounder was so flaky and just right not too fishy and just enough taste. I would definitely recommend the Fried Flounder & Shrimp! ”
