Wow! Best fried shrimp I've ever eaten! Stopped by for lunch after a morning at the beach. What a surprise; large, tender, perfectly cooked shrimp coated in garlic sauce and parmesan! They were incredibly flavorful and tasty. The coconut was good too along with the seasoned fries, but it's the garlic parm that has us craving more! Large portions made the price seem reasonable. Easy parking off 61st street. We will def be back!

Food Truck! Nothing but Shrimp. I didn't know either of the 2 above bits, though was fine adapting expectations in this instance. It's Right off the road. There's a few covered picnic benches there so you can enjoy the food fresh and hot. Menu is straight forward. You can get an order of 10 shrimp in a variety of flavors. It's either fried or "naked". Shrimp are all a good size. They also have slightly larger peel & eat shrimp in a 6 count. Order comes with hush puppies that are a bit small but still taste good. There were a couple sides available. We only tried the French fries. I was interested in the slaw, but we already had too much food.

Drove all the way down from Austin just to come here😜. Just kidding, we were coming anyway, I’ve been talking about it for weeks though. Came here a few months ago with my father-in-law and now I took my wife. The garlic parmesan shrimp is the best. Will definitely come eat here again next time we are in Galveston.

Great little spot for your shrimp fix. Our group got buffalo, Parmesan, and coconut shrimp with two orders of fries total was $45. Such a steal! This is quality food truck with outdoor seating for groups. There is also a tiny dock attached. Personally my favorite was the coconut shrimp with apricot dipping sauce.

Excellent flavors! Slow service, but I'm learning that's pretty much everywhere you go in Galveston. The garlic parmesan was excellent! I also really enjoyed the coconut shrimp, and I'm not normally a fan of the coconut shrimp. Very fresh!

This little food truck on the side of the road could easily expand! There was a long line, but we could see why after we finally received our order! It was very fresh. The garlic parmesan naked shrimp and coconut battered shrimp were a big hit with my family. I loved the crab sticks too, although clearly imitation crab meat. Be prepared to wait if there's a line. It took over 30 min to get our food after waiting in a pretty short line for about 20 min.
