The wait staff is fun and upbeat. Check out the employment requirements in the bathrooms. The food is badly cooked, burned mostly. more

Shrimp bucket has great shrimp ceviche with chunks of advocado and great flavor. It also has an assortment of tacos and seafood dishes. Good prices and clean. If you are close by and want some local seafood dishes that won't break the bank, this is the place. Nothing fancy here, tacos, tostadas, and finger foods with great sauces. Can't miss... more

El Shrimp Bucket looked fun from the outside but we should have known when we went at prime dinner hour and there were only 3 other tables. Our table was sticky, and the place just felt dirty. The food wasn't bad - not great either - but I couldn't get over how dirty the place was. Just imagining what the... more

This place had a separate playground and play area with a babysitter to play with your kids and feed them too! My daughter loved the babysitter as she was very good with kids. The food was great, especially the beer battered shrimps & bacon shrimps! My wife doesn't like shrimps so she ordered their fish and loved it as well.... more
