    We enjoyed our meal. Looked forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve there but thought the restaurant was brightly lit which took away from the atmosphere. They have one of my favorite desserts on the menu, bananas foster. However, we were told they weren’t serving it because of the holiday.

    While the food was pretty good, our experience was ruined by a very aggressive and weirdly uptight server. No “Hostess city” environment here

    A bit disappointing. Everything we ordered was either very salty or very spicy hot. Even the breading on my son's fish fry was a bit spicy. Not everyone enjoys foods super salty or supeer spicy, and I am one of them.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded today
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet expectations. We aim to create a flavorful experience, but it is not our intention to have too salty or spicy food. We appreciate your input and will pass it along to our kitchen team to ensure we have options that cater to all preferences. Please don’t hesitate to let your server know about any preferences you have for less salt or spice in the future, and we’ll do our best to accommodate. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    The food and service were very good. But having two doors open when it was below 50 degrees outside meant we were cold enough to be uncomfortable throughout the meal — even with our coats on the whole time. All we wanted to do was finish and leave. Even though we enjoyed the food, it wasn’t enough to make up for how uncomfortable we were (especially considering the prices). We don’t plan to return.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on 16 December 2024
    Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that your experience was affected by the temperature. We understand how important comfort is when dining, and we will certainly look into ensuring better temperature control for our guests, especially during colder months. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service, but we completely understand how the discomfort impacted your overall experience. We truly appreciate your input and hope you might give us another chance in the future.
