    Reservation was for a Tuesday night. Restaurant was not busy at 4:30 but understaffed. Value for the $ was simply not there. Our waitress was attentive, but working too hard given she had very little help. Too many restaurants in this high-traffic tourist area to not be a better experience.

    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!!
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on December 2, 2024
    Thank you so much for the kind words, and we're so honored to have been part of your birthday celebration! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms, shrimp, oysters, and of course, the hush puppies! It sounds like it was a wonderful night, and we're happy we could make it even more memorable for you. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Savannah! Happy belated birthday!

    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.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on December 2, 2024
    Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a regular guest! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy the shrimp peel and eat and our signature cocktail sauce. We take pride in offering great food and service, and it's wonderful to know we’re consistently meeting your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another great meal!

    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.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on December 2, 2024
    It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the food and that the service was excellent. It sounds like the staff made a positive impact, which is always a big part of a good experience. However, I can understand your concerns about cleanliness, especially with the bathrooms. We truly appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better visit soon.

    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.

    A great legacy seafood restaurant in Savannah. Have been here many times over the years and the food is great and prices still reasonable. Get the platter and an Artillery Punch! The greeting and hostess seating could have been better and the service was fine but has been better in the past. Great, enjoyable meal, though. One thing I'm not digging is new, very bright white LED lighting... the place is super bright and it detracts from the old school ambiance we used to enjoy. I'd sure have a lighting consultant come redesign the interior lighting to correct that.
    The Shrimp FactoryResponded on December 2, 2024
    Thank you so much for your loyal patronage over the years and for sharing your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed many great meals with us! We absolutely appreciate your thoughts on the lighting — we strive to create the best atmosphere for our guests, and your comments are invaluable. We will definitely take your suggestion about the lighting into consideration as we continue to enhance our space. We're glad you still enjoyed your meal, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
