I am a huge seafood lover. I've driven by Skipper's so many times and never tried it. Today was the day. With my free cobbler coupon in hand I ordered the Large Shrimp Onion platter (over $10.00) and a child's baby shrimp for my daughter. I was really pleased they had a drive thru. You call ahead first and then pull up and your order is ready. It took less than 10 minutes. But the good stops there. I got 12 large fried shrimp - good amount but they didn't TASTE like shrimp. All I could taste was the salty batter that had an old oil aftertaste. The onion rings were very disappointing. I of course let a lot slide because when you get fried foods to go they steam up and get limp in the car. HOWEVER, these onion rings were just bad. There was a TON of them, but it was the same batter and had the same bad aftertaste. When you order baby shrimp you get anything from medium to salad shrimp in different restaurants. Skipper's used the tiniest shrimp I have ever seen. They actually tasted like shrimp too. Hushpuppies round out a great fried seafood dish. We got TWO each. LOL Just as well. They were tough and you guessed it, tasted like old oil. I like my coleslaw to be creamy and crunchy. This coleslaw was watery and was chopped very fine and was like the kind of like ""Ruth's"" but not as good. Finally the cobbler - very wet, very slimy and very very sweet. This is not the worst seafood place I've ever been to, but I will not be going back. I bet the fish sandwich is really good but I would not get shrimp here.
Pros: ""Drive Thru"" window
Cons: Everything tastes the same
