The Shrimper

I had high hopes for this place, alas, it didn’t happen. I stopped here for lunch (recommended by one of my fellow drivers) and the friendly cashier greeted each of us in our group enthusiastically. The two drivers I accompanied received their lunches promptly. Meanwhile, I was very patiently (and hungrier) waiting on my meal. I ordered one Chicken Tender, Mashed ‘tators & gravy, and two biscuits. The staff kept calling out and bringing other people’s food BEFORE mine and I questioned it. I was curtly told “they’re working on it” by one of the kitchen staff. Ok, I sat back down @ my table and waited patiently some more. Again, I saw more people getting their food before me and I asked about the progress on my food. Keep in mind the two drivers have been eating their food whilst I’ve been waiting on mine. I asked the friendly cashier & she asked the kitchen staff and I heard, rather rudely, “Chicken tenders take 10 minutes to cook!”, okay, hold the line, she LIED to me when she told me they were IN THE PROGRESS making my lunch 😡 Rather than being informed in the BEGINNING I’d not bug them relentlessly…. Docking two stars for the rude kitchen staff, three stars for the sweet cashier and the food, after waiting a decade for it 😒

I love the food here, but after 3 times in a row driving 14 miles for the delicious food and finding them CLOSED when they are supposed to be opened, I am seriously considering giving up. If lack of sufficient amount of food is a problem, hire someone who can handle supplying this restaurant with the proper amount of food based off of sales and demand. Something is amiss with this particular franchisee or management. I would HATE to see it close down like so many of the others have done. PLEASE, GET BACK TO BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GREAT CLIENTELE AND FOLLOWING WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU FAIL. Maybe seeing this poor rating will awaken a desire to try harder.

Been coming here for years, gets worse with each visit. I dine in only and dont carry out. Im guessing covid-19 messed it up, hopefully it will turn around soon. Past 10 times I been there, maybe was asked once for a refill. If drinks was out in open, I would fill my own. Paid 6$ today for 5 fried oysters, never consistent with portions. Guessing oyster prices going up.

Prices went up portions smaller and only get one sauce if you order large shrimp dinner.Plus never have Mac and Cheese went there 4:30 in the afternoon. Food is good but give me what I pay for $10.20 for large shrimp dinner then I should be able to get 2 tarter sauce not 1 and my half of pound shrimp should look like half of pound.

This is a local restaurant that seems to get things right. Tasty shrimp and fish and other entrees including crab oysters and scallops. Most of the food is fried but you can also get some other options. I had several of the sides and they are good as well. Friendly service and reasonable prices keep me coming back again and again.
