The Shrimp Factory

The peppered shrimp with salad and chicken rice was really great. Very flavorful and the Captain's punch was very good too - not too sweet. One was enough! more

We found this because it was near our hotel. Both the food and service were amazing ... constant attention from the waiter without hovering and mouthwatering food. I have paid a whole more for seafood that tasted horrible. This place was a great little surprise and we will definitely be back. more

The Shrimp Factory is a casual, friendly "fine dining" restaurant where you can Watch the Ships Go By from almost all of the tables. My personal favorites are the Pine Bark Stew, Deviled Crab with the Curry Chutney Sauce, Pecan Flounder and Stuffed Shrimp. I also LOVE the Caesar Style Salad which has the best Caesar Dressing I have ever tasted. The hot sour dough french bread with the cheddar spread is delicious. I love that I can buy a GLASS of Petite Sirah to enjoy with the salad and bread. There are quite a few really nice wines by the glass in fact. Also, the WHITE CHOCOLATE COCONUT CREAM PIE may be #1 IN THE WORLD! Coffee served tableside in a French Press is perfect. The Banana Foster Flambe, flamed tableside is great for a special occasion. The Shrimp Factory is THE BEST RESTAURANT in Savannah, GA. Their sister restaurant, The Riverhouse Seafood has THE BEST PASTRY CHEF in the city as welll. Try the Riverhouse, after you try The Shrimp Factory!!!! more

Great food and atmosphere, seafood gumbo the best ever, salad with special caesar dressing exceptional, service was excellent, would go back again and again. more

My wife and I were gazing at the beautiful cobblestones on the lovely, historical River Street, when we cam across the Shrimp Factory Restaurant. The business has been there for over 30 years, so we decided to give it a try. The minute we walked in, I smelled something and delicious floating through the air. The hostess told me it was their "famous" bananas foster flambe. I knew we picked a great restaurant. As I glanced at the menu, I came across the "Shrimp Peppered", which I knew was the right choice for me. It sounded spicy, and delicious, my kind of food. My wife had their "Shrimp and Grits", a southern classic. They were both two outstanding choices, and we were so pleased when we got through eating them. We finished our meal with the Bananas Fosters. OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The whole meal was remarkable, and the service was just as admirable. I will definitely be going back when we travel to Savannah again. more

My boyfriend & I walked around on the river front street a little & decided to try this restaurant after checking out the menu. There was a half hour wait, so we gladly sat at the bar to have a cocktail while waiting for our table. I had probably one of the best Bloody Mary's ever while waiting, fully garnished with a lime, olives & celery. After being seated, our waiter, Evan came over to take our order. Evan was very friendly & had us laughing. I ordered the Grouper Florentine & my boyfriend ordered the Mahi. We both loved our meals, mine was outstanding! We'll be back for more more

We were walking down the riverfront when the owner of this restaurant came outside, gave us a $5 off coupon and invited us in. We'd not actually thought of eating there but went in, had one of the most delicious salads of our month long vacation and would return in a heart beat. more

We recently enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Shrimp Factory. I ordered the shrimp sandwich/okra gumbo/caesar salad combo, and my husband had the flounder lunch. Everything was cooked to perfection, although I have never liked iceberg lettuce in a caesar salad. The little mini blueberry muffins with honey bourbon butter were a nice touch. more

Six of my friends and I traveled to Savannah last year, the trip and stay was fantastic. But all seven of us agreed that one of the highlights of our vacation was The Shrimp Factory's "Bread Pudding". I've never tasted a desert that great!!! It was so memorable that I don't remember eating anthing else and I'm quite sure that we did. It was so great that prior to departing Savannah we stopped and bought some for the ride home. I recommend anyone traveling to Savannah, make sure to try some. I wish they had a web site so that I could keep a supply on hand. more

We were in Savannah for four days and we ate here twice! It felt like an upscale place but without the stuffy dress code. The staff was pleasant and our food was great (especially the Seafood Strudel and the Shrimp & Scallops with Tortellini). The complimentary blueberry muffins made a nice change from the french bread you get at most restaurants, and the Banana Bread Pudding was exquisite! Highly recommended! more

My wife and I were traveling to Augusta for the Masters Tournament. I told her of this restaurant that I had eaten at in 1989. I wanted to take her there and also to see if anything had changed. We got there around 5:30 pm and were seated right away. Our waiter was excellent. I told him of my previous visit and what I had while there. Well, the Pine Bark Stew was still on the menu and the famous Chatam Artillery Punch as well. My wife had a seafood dish that was out of this world. Yes, some things never change and I look forward to our next visit to the Factory. Thank you for the keeping nostalgia. more

Great food, friendly staff and cool decor. more

We just ate lunch at The Shrimp Factory. The food was excellent as was the service. First we shared the shrimp and crab puffed pastry which was excellent. Homemade muffins and the Caesar Salad, which was tossed in a huge bowl by our table, was brought to us. The muffins were good and the fresh salad was wonderful that included: more

The husband and I were in Savannah the day before Thanksgiving (so, not high tourist season) and came across the Shrimp Factory down on the waterfront. We'd been thinking of trying The Lady and Sons but were hungry RIGHT THEN and a gentleman at the door gave us a $5 coupon, so we thought, why not? And we were glad we ate there. The Caesar salad was tossed tableside and was pretty good; and they also give you mini-blueberry muffins as a bread basket. The muffins were tasty and came with this unbelievably excellent honey bourbon pecan butter spread, oh my gosh. I had the special, which was shrimp and grits, and it was also really good. The waitress told us the grits are made with heavy cream and that was evident. My husband had the shrimp and sausage with rice and found it delicious. I see some other reviewers unfortunately didn't have good service. I must say, we didn't have that experience at all. The food came fast and our drinks were constantly refilled. Our waitress was very friendly and the manager also dropped by to make sure we were happy with everything, which we were. We found it to be good value for the money - this meal, which came to about $27, would've been probably half again the price at home - and I'd recommend it. more

Wonderful, from the Bisque to the Salad to the Pecan Fish (special for the night) and the great server, even the drinks were great . My first choice if I am ever in Savannah again. more

Great food, friendly staff and cool decor. more

We really enjoyed our late dinner in late Nov at the Shrimp Factory. Contrary to some reviews, the service was just fine. I really liked the Pine Bark Stew and my wife enjoyed the Shrimp and Crab Bisque. Their famous Artillery Punch was great, and you get to keep the souvenior glasses. more

I brought my wife and two of our friends to The Shrimp Factory on April 29, 2009 for dinner and it was excellent. The service was very professional, the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was fantastic! I had the Shrimp Peppered and it was amazing!! I would recommend this place to everyone, It was just a fantastic experience!!! more

Our server was friendly and very helpful from the time we walked into the restaurant. We have never had shrimp scampi cooked in a brown butter sauce! This dinner choice was the best my husband could have made. We would love the recipe. I had the fried shrimp, which were so lightly fried it did not take away from the wonderful flavor of the shimp. We both had dessert, and of course we started with the seafood bisque, which was filled with many different kinds of fish. This is a definite go back place. And right on the river! more

Good service, the salad and muffins are wonderful and the shrimp and crab augratin is pretty darn good. We'd come back more
