Shrimp was juicy, fresh caught from the carolinas. Was told about this place by a local who said her family comes here for all their seafood.

Great little shrimp shack! I get the same thing everytime I visit. Shrimp tacos (2 per order) are delicious! Last night I ordered one shrimp and one tuna taco. It did not disappoint. It's a small place, but the food is great. The staff is very friendly, too! Reasonably priced for the area. We are locals, so we ride our... More

My boyfriend and I wanted some good seafood and saw all the reviews and decided to give this place a shot (particularly the last lady's review which is pretty right on). It isn't in the heart of OC, which is actually kind of nice. You can get away from the bustle for a moment, but it was only a 10... More

We wanted to experience local seafood. So I did my research (using Trip Advisor) and wrote down "Shrimp Boat" was a place for lunch! We pulled up (a dirt parking lot) and my husband and 3 young sons simultaneously said, "Really mom? We're eating here?". Yes we are! And boy did I do "I told you so" the entire way... More

The stand is on Steven Decatur Highway, which is the road that takes you over to Assateague Island and is within view of Smoker's BBQ (which I highly recommend) but if you don't slow down you will pass this place. The guy gives you a sample of shrimp, then lets you know the prices. These are head on & shell... More

We were looking for an authentic place at the shore with fresh seafood. The food here is wonderful and it is such a fun place. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We had a party of 6 and everyone cleaned their plate! It is a short drive from OC but well worth it. We visited on a Wednesday night... More

The shrimp is by far the best shrimp ever. Be sure to get the steamed shrimp and steamed clams. We've had shrimp everywhere and nothing compares to this place.

This place is exactly what you think of when you think of authentic food at the shore. Very casual and friendly atmosphere with great fresh seafood. We had the soft shell crab sandwich (which was as good as any I've had), a basket of shrimp (yum!) and the scallops which came in a pond of butter and garlic. There was... More

I stopped here for crabs and the owner was very proud their soup won 2nd place in a crab soup contest in OC "up against the big guys." They gave us samples of their soup and shrimp. They were great. Shrimp with the head on to keep in moisture. But I wanted crabs and they were nice and sweet (but... More
