    Food was good with large portions. Waitress was attentive but tried to up sell everything. My wife had the special grouper which was very good and huge but expensive based on their regular menu items.

    Oysters had zero liquor and were tough and dry. The shrimp were good but the fish was pretty fishy and the Cole slaw was inedible. I wouldn’t go back. Service was good though!

    Started with the hush puppies with cocktails. Followed by shrimp and crab bisque that was creamy and delicious. Hubby had raw oysters on the half shell and I had a blue crab cake. We followed up with a delicious peach cobbler. Very open concept so very noisy. Elizabeth was an excellent server.

    Enjoyed the food. I had the snapper special but the salt level was much too high. Everything else was perfect

    Loved my meal at The Shrimp Factory . I had shrimp and grits and it was the best meal I’ve had since I’ve been in South Carolina and Georgia on vacation. Our server, Kalea was the best. She was attentive, kind, took our orders without writing anything down and made sure we had everything we needed. IfI ever get back to Savannah, I will be visiting The Shrimp Factory again!

    Great selection of seafood, large portions. Had drinks in bar, then bartender came to visit in dining room after we were seated - nice touch.

    The Pine Bark stew was just as great as I remembered when I was there 2 years ago. The Blacken grouper sand which was excellent as well as the shrimp tacos. Highly recommend all of them!
