The Shrimp Box & Outside The Box Patio Bar

My group ate outdoors in the "Out of the box" segment, so I do not know how it is inside.

The outdoor area is very active. The air is exciting. There is constant movement and the service is always running around. All things which are good depending on your expectation.

The food is fresh, and delicious. My group went for an early dinner, 16:00 (4pm) and we were seated in under 5 minutes, however shortly after that the place became full with many people waiting to be seated so I recommend arriving at or before 16:00.

Our server seemed to be stressed, and stretched thin between tables. The outdoor section was quite a distance from the kitchen so our server had to travel a bit to get to us. This also goes for the restroom, in order to get to the toilet we had to circle around back to the front door. It really feels like the outdoor section was put together during the events of 2020, and had not yet optimized it (but that's just an observation).

All together it is an enjoyable vibe, seated next to the water is always a plus. Keep in mind that parking is valet only, and you can only make reservations for groups larger than five people. Dogs are allowed which gives me thumbs up.

I really love this place and we took here our family who came to visit us from UK 🇬🇧. Everything was great and our waiter was very polite and attentive. We had table near the window 🪟 we took trio broiled fish scallops and shrimps. Plus fried calamari. Dessert was carrot cake, ice cream and apple pie. All was tasty and fresh!!

Love this little restaurant; indoors and out! Great, fresh seafood dishes all year round and wonderful to dine outside and enjoy the sun and breeze by the water. Would definitely recommend!!

My family and cousins went here! The place and food were great! Also, the view was so pretty! I enjoyed watching the boats go by! For my meal I had coconut shrimp, rice, vegetables, and that was delicious! I also had rice pudding for dessert and that was really good too!

We enjoyed very good seafood meals. We ordered off the Sunset Dinners section of the menu, which provided soup or salad, beverage, and dessert with our meal. We loved sitting by the windows with the picturesque views of the Inlet.

If you ever get a chance to visit Point Pleasant the Shrimp Box is the place to go. The food was phenomenal and the drinks were hefty! I've been waiting to go here for years and finally went. You will NOT be disappointed! Food pictured is a crab 🦀 sandwich, stuffed flounder 🐟 and calamari 🐙!

Had a wonderful meal there. The service was superb. The softshell crabs were great as was the flounder francese.

Plenty of parking, if the main lot is full there's an overflow across the street. Welcoming interior plenty of waiting space before you get to the main dining area. Hostess was super friendly and the updated interior looks great (haven't been here in a while). Waterfront seats are a plenty here and I was lucky enough to snag a window seat right by the water on a Saturday night. Cool drink list with some specials. Server was friendly and attentive, we skipped apps and went right to mains. linguini with clam sauce was great I loved the garlic crostini on the side and the broth, but the stuffed flounder was the star of the show! Will definitely be back

Obsessed with The Shrimp Box. Their staff always make an attempt to sit everyone by the windows, which is really thoughtful. I love watching the boats come in and out of the bay. I've never sat outside, but would like to this summer. Prices are amazing for "The Sunset Dinner". I always have leftovers and bring the dessert home. I've tried many things off "The Sunset Dinner" menu, and have never been disappointed. The photos are of the half-stuffed lobster, the flounder francese, and the broiled flounder (not pictured is the amazing bread, calamari, New England Clam Chowder, salad, chocolate cake, and apple crumb cake). Service is quick and friendly. Thanks for making special days more special.

Delicious food and drink. Service is great. Atmosphere a bit loud.

Been eating there for years. One of my go to seafood restaurants out of 3. Went there for our 35th anniversary
Had a water view watched a family of swans and the gulls. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. Food was fantastic.

Great atmosphere with top caliber food. Staff was friendly, outdoor bar is the spot to be for us 👌🏼The Bloody Mary was one of the best that we have had in awhile, Shrimp and broccoli was on point as well as the wife’s crab cake sandwich.

Best soft shell crab I’ve ever had. Look how perfect it is! Hats off to the chef. We stopped on the way in from fishing and docked outside for free while we ate.

We had a great time!! God was excellent and the staff was even better!!! Mantel and I appreciate the service and warm ambiance that night...it was special on our first date.

The best place to have a great lunch or dinner in Point Pleasant. "Sunset dinners" are reasonably priced and come with soup or salad, entree, choice of potato and veg, soda, and dessert! You can't beat the selection, but you need to be there before 5 pm for the special priced dinners. The regular menu is extensive, and there's something for everyone! The drinks are wonderful too! Best Manhattan !

My family enjoyed our time celebrating Father's Day the day before, and had a wonderful time. I got the Filet Mignon and Shrimp Cocktail which were both delicious. We got to eat outside and have a great view of the ships and water. The menu can be as reasonable as you want to make it depending on what you order. The staff were very awesome and a great place to dine at "the shore!"

I brought my mom here for Mother's Day and she LOVED it which of course made me incredibly happy! The view of the water and local fishing fleet was perfect. It was a hint at the ultra-fresh seafood we enjoyed. Our server Denisse was on point with her recommendations. Absolutely delicious broiled scallops, clams casino, velvety Lobster Bisque and a Shrimp & Parmesan Grits that rivaled anything I've had in the low country of South Carolina. It was my first time at The Shrimp Box but will most certainly not be my last!

We ordered takeout, and it was only a 20 minute wait for pickup! The Captain's Platter is filled with an assortment of delicious seafood, all fresh and flavorful. French fries with old bay seasoning were average at best, but, the coconut shrimp was solid for sure. Don't be turned off by my pictures, it tastes better than it looks!

Wait time to have actual seating can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending when you want to eat, so beware and definitely call ahead to ask, as there are no reservations.

Their website to order online is solid as well, it should serve no problems.

Check out the Shrimp Box for some solid seafood!

It’s been years since I’ve been back to the shrimp box. Spectacular homecoming. The modernized decor and menu make it a number one spot on the shore. Can’t wait for my next visit. Everything was impeccable along with the amazing drink. Highly recommend the island smoke if you are a Mezcal fan. Fabulous.

Broiled seafood combos were absolutely delicious, beautifully plated, and had generous portions of each of the different items! Fish was cooked well and not overdone! They even gave us salad before our meal for no extra cost. Seafood is expensive but here you will get your money's worth.
