Best fried shrimp I’ve ever had! My husband and I both love fried shrimp and this was as good as any I’ve eaten. Big and perfectly cooked. We bought 6lbs to take home! The place is small and plain but the food is special!

Best kept secret in Bayou Labatre! Visited today (8/17/24) and got 2 shrimp platters. These are officially my favorite shrimp in Mobile County. HUGE shrimp, endless flavor, and the freshest you'll find anywhere. We'll definitely be back!

UPDATE- Returned on 3/28/25, and the shrimp were next to awful. They were fried in plain flour, and the fried weren't seasoned this time. There's a visible visual difference between the first visit and our last visit. We've been several times in between, but this was the worst. Crab claws were good. Crawfish were just ok. If this was my first visit for the shrimp, I'd probably never go back. Highly disappointed since we spent over $100. It'll be a while before I'm brave enough to drive 40 minutes to visit again. 5 stars dropped to 3.

I had fried oysters and we also had a crab burger and french fries that were excellent. It's a very small place and they do everything they can do to handle the business they
get. Anytime we're in this area we go there.

The BEST seafood around! The place is small. The wait can be a little long bc of the line of people ordering but the food is absolutely worth it!

This is the kind of hole-in-the-wall that you want to eat at!! The seafood gumbo is full of flavor, shrimp, and okra. I'm not typically a fried shrimp girl-–prefer blackened or grilled but the fried shrimp here are amazing!! 🤤 There weren't tables on the porch (03.20.25) but maybe they'll appear with warmer weather? We're camping at DI; I'm hoping to to drive back over to Bayou La Batre just to eat here again.

Gulf coast locals and we only eat seafood outside our home that we know is locally sourced. We stopped here today and had the gumbo and a seafood platter. I asked what kind of fish was on the platter and was immediately told it was triple tail, a local catch for sure. The shrimp and crab claws were absolutely the best I've ever had. Total price for 2 people was $45. We'll definitely be back.

This place does it right! I haven’t had anything that I didn’t like. Matter o fact I stopped in yesterday and went back today! Gumbo was fantastic had big chunks of crab and shrimp and was the best gumbo I’ve had on this trip and I believe I’ve tried it at every place it’s been available on vacation. My husband had the fried platter and everything on it was fried to perfection. I’ve got the steamer basket twice and I believe I could eat one of those bad boys everyday! Delicious! Worth it! You won’t regret it! They are closed on Sundays and Tuesdays so don’t make that trip to see them on those days but go and check this place out if you’re in the area!!

My wife and I each ordered the crawfish special—2 lbs of crawfish with corn, potatoes, sausage, and a drink—all for under $30 for both! The crawfish were served hot and perfectly seasoned—spicy but not overpowering. Great price, delicious food, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back
