It turned sour after I recieved my coconut shrimp plate. The yellow rice was in a about a 4 oz Styrofoam containter and my shrimp cole slaw was in about a 2 oz container next to my two hush puppies that were about the size of large marbles and a single corn fritter that was about the same size. The shrimp looked a nice size but when I asked for my orange marmalade sauce, the waiter explained that they forgot to order it and that he didnt say anything because people get mad. First of all, I got really upset but didnt want to make a big problem out of it because I was with several other people. He could have "solved" the problem by not creating one in the first place by telling me when I was ordering that something was missing and giving me the choice of sticking with my order or getting the blackened shrimp that I was also considering. Giving dine- in guests Styrofoam containers is a huge waste for the restaurant, its tacky, bad for the environment and makes it look like the restaurant is being cheeky with the portions. The fritters and hush puppies are a tease and the tiniest Ive ever seen.

Picking up my order was very chaotic. It took a good 5 minutes for someone to find my order/person who put it together. Another 10 min to get it in front of me (I had placed it about 30 min earlier). My order only had 6 of the 12 raw oysters I ordered, no slaw for either of my meals, and only crackers for the oysters. The fried seafood platter was nothing special. Id say captain ds does a better job. Same with hush puppies. They were tiny and very dense. The raw oysters were the STAR. They were huge and fresh. Slaw was really good. Tartar sauce was great, and I generally dont like tarter sauce. Grilled catfish was good, but grilled shrimp was overdone and they were NOT CLEANED. The "poop line" was not removed, which I find gross, and makes it hard to peel them. Also, realized after I got back that I wasnt given any silverware. :/ Id recommend coming here for the raw oysters, catfish, and slaw. Everything else can be probably be skipped.

Traveling to Florida we decided to stop and rest for a few days. Looking for seafood restaurants we came across Shrimp Basket. Now we both are lovers of seafood and we were highly impressed. The place is comfy on the small side, clean and fresh looking(not alot of touristy trappings) fast friendly service. Our waitress Starr was beautiful, informative and friendly. She took our orders and when delivered....still hot! If asked would we recommend to other travelers......most definitely YES! Prices were VERY reasonable. They have the largest popcorn shrimp and the tastiest according to my husband. You in Gulfport? Stop in and say hello to Starr and the rest of the staff.

Never Again! Very small portions of food! The servings of fish on the seafood platter (2 pieces) was very poor in size, I have caught perch bigger then the 2 pieces of fish that was on my seafood platter, the oysters was so under cook they shouldve just served them raw! Only because my first experience was a good one I chose to drive from New Orleans to Gulfport to treat my wife and self only to be disappointed (Never Again)!!! The only reason theyre getting 1 star is my post wont share if I dont give a star,it would be a half of star but it doesnt allow that neither!

Shrimp was good but that was about it. Got 2 orders wrong. Chicken is tasteless. Fries are unseasoned. O when we showed up. We where sat after a table was cleaned. Then we had to find our own menus. The whole time we were eating and after not once did someone come by and ask if our food was alright. Much less of we need refills. ( by the way we never got ). Very poor service. Establishment is very disorganized and chaotic. I do not recommend this for restaurant. It may be better as a bar. Sad cause I was hoping this would of been good.

Very busy place and the staff are flying around like busy bees trying to keep everyone as happy as possible. You know a place is good when the parking lot is almost completely filled (with local license plates!) and almost every table is packed. Good sized portions on the food and good prices. Came for the crab claws (which are surprisingly hard to find these days) and the really filling burger. Despite the place being slammed, the staff was very attentive and our food arrived quickly and well prepared.

Awesome experience as always! This was our first time checking out the Gulfport location, but weve been to the one in Mobile several times and always have great food and great service. This time was no different. Brought my parents with us for my birthday lunch and even my grumpy old dad was happy. The prices are great and the food is awesome. (Ive been craving shrimp and grits and I was not disappointed!) Well definitely be back. Even the picky ten year old was happy. Keep it up, guys!

This evening was my third visit to the Shrimp Basket in the last couple of weeks. The first time I got fried shrimp, which was pretty good. The next time they had all you can eat popcorn shrimp, so I got that and it was very good. Tonight I got the grilled white fish, however I wasnt so impressed. I will return, but Ill think Ill stick with the fried shrimp, since its what they seem to do best.

Our waitress was the sweetest! I loved the atmosphere but the food was not great. I had the shrimp tacos, they came cold, very salty, and dripping oil. Oil not grease. My man had blackened fish and etoufe and he said both were great but the fish was smothered in the sauce and it was too salty together. Maybe ask for it on the side. Also the fritters and hush puppies are great!

Waitress (KA) would not acknowledge i was even at the table waited 10 min to put our drink order in then 20 min for our ticket. The fryed shrimp had absolutely zero flavor. The red beans and fried catfish were ok and the fried jalapeño strips are amazing all and all prob wont ever eat there again

It started off with a very cold beer so that was good. I got the all you can eat shrimp and they werent the greatest, and were no where near the worst, they were good. Ive lived in New Orleans most of my life so Im a bit spoiled when it comes to seafood. Not a bad choice considering the area.

Prompt polite service. Appetizer of Fried Pickles was nice and hot, but the sweet tea was over sweetened ... almost needed a glass of water to dilute. Shrimp and Oyster Basket was tasty and hot ... as it should be. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, and all orders were accurate! Will be back!!

Such good food, everything was cooked great and had a perfect amount of seasoning. We actually ended up going two nights in a row, but it was way worth it. Service was great, super friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend for couples and families. Loved it.
