Social Profile:

It all began in 1993, when two local boys in Gulf Shores, Alabama decided to open up a casual family-focused seafood restaurant on the Gulf Coast. The idea was to create a restaurant where people would feel welcome to be themselves, families could afford to dine out together and strangers would leave as friends. Coastal vacationers demanded that Shrimp Basket expand to provide this incredible seafood value to those unable to be at the beach year round. Today, we’re happy to offer locations across the Southeast for family and friends to feel a part of the beach, dine and enjoy delicious seafood! At the Shrimp Basket, our goal is to make sure that you – our friends – leave happy and satisfied after every visit.

This place was great! We showed up during dinner time and had to wait about five minutes to be seated, but that was no biggie as the restaurant was very inviting and nice.

We got shrimp baskets and sweet teas. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing! Also the food came out so quick! This is definitely a great place to grab a bite to eat if you are staying near or are on Pensacola Beach. Definitely recommend!

Stopped by the Shrimp Basket on Pensacola Beach and was blown away. The shrimp and grits were absolutely incredible—perfectly seasoned, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they use fresh Gulf shrimp, and the dish had just the right balance of spice and richness. Easily one of the best versions I’ve had in a very long time.

The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, with a great beach vibe. Our server was friendly and quick, and the rest of the food we ordered came out hot and delicious.

If you’re on the beach and craving seafood, this place is a must. Highly recommend it, especially for the shrimp and grits—you won’t be disappointed!

We had a very nice lunch at The Shrimp Basket Restaurant. The atmosphere is nice, very casual and definitely a beach vibe. All of the staff were friendly and our server was excellent, personable and attentive. We enjoyed the onion strings and our shrimp platter was great. It was fresh and fried just right. We were very pleased.

This place is AMAZING!!! The red beans and rice are so flavorful! The fried flounder with from scratch tartar is one for the books! And their oysters are bigger and tastier than others on Pensacola beach. But a special shout out to TORI. She took my cabbage allergy VERY SERIOUSLY. She took extra time to make sure my food and sides went nowhere near it. That kind of attentiveness deserves accolades!!

A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite—Perfect Sunday Dinner Over the Holiday Weekend

On a laid-back Sunday evening during the Fourth of July weekend, we stumbled upon this coastal restaurant—and what a find it was. Despite the holiday hustle in town, this spot had a relaxing, unhurried vibe that set the tone for a memorable meal. It wasn’t crowded, which made for a calm and personal dining experience, and the staff made us feel welcomed the moment we walked in.

Right away, we noticed how clean and well-kept everything was—from the floors to the table settings. The restaurant had a polished but relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a quiet dinner after a busy day.

We kicked things off with the Firecracker Shrimp Fries, and let me just say—this appetizer alone is worth a return visit. Piled high with crispy golden fries, tender shrimp, and just the right drizzle of spicy sauce, it hit all the right notes: crunchy, creamy, savory, and just enough kick to wake up the taste buds.

For my entrée, I went with the grilled flounder and grilled shrimp—a combo that balanced freshness with flavor beautifully. The flounder was perfectly grilled, light and flaky with a hint of citrus and seasoning that enhanced but never masked the fish’s delicate flavor. The shrimp had that smoky char from the grill, juicy and well-seasoned without being overpowering. It was a satisfying plate that left me feeling full without being weighed down.

Service throughout the meal was spot-on—friendly, attentive, and never intrusive. Our server checked in just enough, and everything from drinks to entrées arrived at a smooth, timely pace.

In a weekend full of highlights, this dinner stands out as one of the best. Great food, a peaceful setting, and excellent service—it checked all the boxes. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in.

So glad we stopped by! Visiting from CA for the Pensacola Beach Blue Angels show. Stopped by here for lunch on our way to the airport. Flavorful gulf shrimp. Drinks were great. The shining star at the restaurant: Our server, Justine! My son has a severe allergy to eggs. She was so patient and accomodating. Asked them to change which batter they were using on some of the menu items, and suggested substitutions. What a sweetheart. As for the restaurant? Highly recommend. Do it.
