I hate to give a bad review but I’ve been coming here on/off since I was a teenager over 30 years. Most recently I’ve ordered my shrimp and there has been 1 missing. This has happened on at least 3 occasions over 3-4 years. I don’t live in the area anymore so once I’m home I’m just upset and not able to do much. I always say I’m going to check next time but it’ll be a while before being in the city or even getting the shrimp again and of course I forget. I believe it’s the same girl there every time. She is likely taking shrimp and eating it.

Respectfully, I was not a fan of this place. The shrimp were overcooked/overfried. Everything was very greasy, to the point I actually got sick. Not being disrespectful, it just wasn’t good for me.

It seems it gets better every time I try the shrimp. Customer service definitely improved. I always enjoy never had a bad taste experience with my shrimp. I have appreciation for the chips now….give you something to enjoy afterwards.

Excellent Fried Shrimp & Fries in the hood. Very well seasoned and come with a side of attitude from the window girl just the way I like it ! Its cash only . Most people get the dozen w salt & pepper & fries. On a busy corner but thats part of the experience

Grabbing shrimp from Sid Booker’s is more than just grabbing shrimp. This place is a North Philly staple and at this point should be a landmark. A dozen shrimp and fries only took about 10 minutes to prepare. Were they the best shrimp I’ve ever had – no. Was the cashier the most welcoming – hell no lol. But the fried butterfly shrimp always hits the spot and I will be back! I don’t ever want to see a day where this establish isn’t a part of my city. Thank you Sid

Shrimp are good service could be more professional 5 years ago
10/8/23 the shrimp are over cooked dried out and I ordered a large fry which looked to be re-cooked. They ate greasy, hard no taste of potato anywhere. They look like the remnants you find at the bottom of a fryer when you are done. Just horrible!

I was pleased with what I received from this establishment. The shrimp were large, butterfly shrimp, and fried to perfection. I don’t frequent fried shrimp, but for the first time in a long time I had them and they were pretty good! If you enjoy fried shrimp I think you will enjoy Sid Booker’s.
The coleslaw that they sell is a creamy coleslaw which was pretty good and the macaroni salad was OK. It’s similar to what you would find in the store. The prices for the salads are very inexpensive.
