1. Plenty of parking, all around. 2. Seating and ambiance: Nice informal one, here you will find the regular and casual, laid-back environment. 3. Food.... I ordered the shrimp Po boy sandwich an I was not dissapointed. Prepare to be amazed at how they try to fit twenty hand-breaded local shrimp. "Yes local" into a hot Gambino bread. I could only gaze at the quantity of the food in my simple plate, I found the land of plenty if there's such a thing. My first bite into the Po'boy, made me feel like I was in New Orleans. Lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo, the breaded shrimp was flavorful, fresh and cooked to perfection. Fries were deliciously crunchy, and the cole slaw fresh, creamy, with just the right tangy-sweet flavor. Spoiler alert, the shrimp's size only allows you to squeeze maybe eight to twelve inside the Po'boy, you will have to eat the rest from the plate. Service is outstanding. I love this place. I can't wait to come back when I'm in Pensacola. It's a five Yelp stars for me. "Woohoo"

It's my first time here, I found out about this food place near me on Yelp, and I really don't regret it. The place is not big, but it is comfortable, it looks clean. The employee was very kind and very sweet. checking all the time that everything was fine. The food arrived hot and didn't take long. I ordered a shrimp plater with coleslaw fries. My husband ordered the shrimp po boy's with fries and coleslaw. This was one of the best coleslaw I have ever had, so fresh, so delicious. The shrimp melt in your mouth and the breading is very light. My husband's Po boys were packed with shrimp, a total of 20 shrimp.

Off the top, the customer service was A-1. I didn't get the woman's name behind the counter but she was the sweetest lady. Food was great. Only complaint I have is my greens had too many stems in them. Those who eat greens know what I mean. That will not stop me from going back on my next visit to Pensacola though. This is the first restaurant I went to during my visit so they set the bar. I went to another seafood place in the same area and it did not meet the mark.

we searched yelp for a local mom and pop seafood restaurant. Shannon's Seafood Kitchen was 18 miles away, but so many people raved about it, we decided to bite the bullet even though it was rush hour and took a long time to get there. so glad we did! we had a seafood platter where you get to pick any two of their specialties. we had fried okra, a double steak burger, some John's Bangin' Shrimp, and a bunch of sides. this was the crunchiest and best okra i've ever had. it was so crunchy, our plastic forks would bend instead of piercing the batter, so we had to eat it with our fingers. The blackened grouper was moist, tasty, flaky, tender. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I do not recommend the double steak burger :-) . it was so huge, i could not fit my mouth around it. the single would have been perfect. the fresh onions and piles of tomatoes made it so fresh tasting. the burger itself was thick and juicy. the bacon was crisp and thick. what a burger. we had not eaten all day, so we ordered too much. the fried oysters were delish, the banana pudding was very tasty. the bangin' shrimp was seasoned like buffalo wings with green onions on top, very original. it was a great experience all together. the people were so nice, even other customers spoke to us and invited us into this little local community. if you get a chance to stop in, you won't regret it.
