Jim Shaw's Seafood Grill

Boo and I took a trip to see my parents.
We had a date night to ourselves.
So found this place on Google and off we went.
Convenient to where we were staying.
Right off the interstate.
We found it easy to park in the lot on the right side.
We went it it was busy.
That's always a great sign.
Looked at plates as we were seated.
We spoke to our neighboring table.
They told us what they recommended.
We ordered alligator as an appetizer fried.
It was so good.
Boo got flounder and hushpuppies.
I got shrimp tacos.
They were delicious.
I can't eat fish I am allergic to it.
I am lucky enough that I can eat shrimp.
Boo loves seafood and I love to make him happy.
We will go back.
If just not for the alligator.
The restaurant was extremely clean the staff was so nice.
We had the nicest table buddies.
It was a perfect date!

A local favorite and highly recommended.
It's almost a hole in the wall family restaurant.
The food is exceptional.
They open at 4:30 and was quickly full on a Friday night. The entrees are huge with fresh catch options.
We decided to have an assortment of appetizers to try more items.
Gator, pimento cheese balls, grouper, blackened tuna, crawfish, and voodoo shrimp.
We finished with homemade key lime pie. There is a self-service bar on the left side.

This was my Birthday dinner with a friend, it was my first time eating here! I've always wanted to try them but never got around to it.
I've definitely been missing out!!! This place is not fancy by no means but it is DELICIOUS!!! They surpassed my expectations and I love being surprised.
I'm not easily impressed.
I ordered The create your own meal.
I had fried scallops(on a bed of rice) and blackened gator bites with steamed broccoli and a loaded baked potato.
Plus those hush puppies that make my soul happy! Now let's discuss those blackened gator bites.
These were so GREAT that they come in 2nd place to the ones I ate in New Orleans(which says it all).
My mom had never had blackened gator bites and she ate all my left overs.
She could not get over the fact that 1) it's gator 2) it was so flavorful and juicy 3) the spice creeps up on you( but it's so worth it and I dislike spicy food) All my food was delectable but those Gator bites won the gold! Lol.
For dessert, I had the KeyLime pie.
I'm not a huge fan of KeyLime but I thought I'd try it.
This had to be one of the best KeyLime pies I've eaten.
It reminded me of the texture of NY cheesecake(creamy) with a kick of the tang from the KeyLime.
My mom couldn't get enough of it, neither could I! Had I known I would have gotten 2 slices.
My friend tried a bite and he was equally impressed.
I definitely want to return and try their other options.
I've had gator bites locally but this place makes the best one so far(besides New Orleans).
This place is seafood heaven.
Family friendly and affordable.
My friend had the squash casserole and it was pretty tasty.
I'm getting that as my side, next time! Thank you!
