    I LOVE this restaurant!! No trip to Savannah is complete. We started with the stuffed mushrooms. OMG! They just melt in your mouth. Then moved on the shrimp and oysters. They were crispy and delicious. But I’ll have to say my favorite was those hush puppies!! Fried crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. This was my birthday trip and we were only in town for one night, and what a memorable night it was!!

    I eat here often when in town as the food is always good as is the service. I always have the 1lb. Shrimp peel and eat, there is something about their cocktail sauce that sets it apart from others (bbq sauce in it maybe?) Which I really enjoy. So I'll keep coming back.

    Upon entering were a little leary, it can use updating as well as a thorough deep cleaning. The Hostess was very accommodating and allowed us to choose where we sat even though they were busy. Now the food....the menu had a lot of choices so we tried a number of items. The fried fish dishes were very good as well as the crab stuffed flounder. The shrimp and lobster dish was delicious. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the fried green tomatoes also good. Will definitely return. Hopefully they address the cleanliness.

    Average food. Restaurant is not in good shape. Service was below average. Getting a check and getting out took way too long.

    We enjoyed our lunch and had a great waitress. We had oysters, fish sandwich and shrimp jambalaya. We will definitely return to The Shrimp Factory the next time we visit Savannah.

    We just had the most pleasant and delicious meal at the Shrimp Factory!! We had made a reservation through Open Table and we were greeted and seated immediately and were brought water without asking. There were so many dishes on the menu that looked yummy. Luckily for us, the food for a large party next to us came out while we were looking at the menu so we were able to preview several dishes. Our wonderful server, Kayla, helped us with our choices and we ultimately selected the calamari appetizer and the Shrimp Alfredo and Crab Stuffed Flounder. Everything was delicious! The calamari came out lightning fast and was hot and crispy. . Our entrees were cooked to perfection ; the portions were generous and the flounder and shrimp was incredibly fresh. Even the rice and asparagus that came with the flounder was perfectly cooked and delicious. However the highlight of our meal was the excellent service provided by Kayla!! Even though she was also serving the large party, her service was outstanding!! She kept our drinks full and perfectly timed the delivery of our appetizer and entree. We wish we could give Kayla 10 stars!! Her personality was so bubbly and friendly!!! While we can’t brag on Kayla enough, we want to give a shout out to each employee who interacted with us (even briefly) for being so hospitable. Our only complaint is that we didn’t try the Shrimp Factory until our last night. Our next trip to Savannah we will definitely go there first!! Thank you Kayla and the rest of the staff for making our first trip to this beautiful city so memorable!!

    Our server Taylor, and the food were amazing. The location right on the banks of the Savannah river topped it off!

    I recommend the rockefeller oysters and fried seafood. We don't recommend ordering the low country boil. It was bland.

    Food was very good. Fried green tomatoes are very tasty. Hubby enjoyed the filet and I enjoyed at spinach salad with shrimp. Our server was fantastic and made great recommendations.
