Stumbled upon this place after a cold and rainy golf tournament at Belterra. It was late Saturday night, about an hour to closing. All of us, 6 adults and two boys (10 &13), were greeted warmly and despite nearing closing time, they were happy we were there. Had a lovely chat with an owner about his move to Carrollton from California and making a go of his new business. It was a pleasant surprise that it was a Mexican seafood restaurant! The service was very prompt. Chips and salsa came right away and was refilled. We ordered a variety of menu items…My husband and I split the seafood fajitas. The meal was plenty, hot, fresh and well cooked. Delicious! Others had the steak and chicken fajitas, salad, fish and chips, chimichanga, and hot wings. Everyone gave their dishes 5 stars and ate every bite. The restaurant is on a cute and, what looked like, revitalized, riverfront Main Street. It’d be nice to see it in the daylight. The restaurant was clean and bright, as were the restrooms. The decor was cute and beachy. We had a great experience and would go back when in Carrollton, KY!

Service was okay. The queso doesn’t taste like Queso; more like sour cream mixed with mozzarella and warmed up. A wise man once said forgiveness is divine but never mess with a man’s queso.The prices were outrageous. For 1 adult and 2 kids it was 65 dollars. Lunch prices were out of the question and a chicken and cheese quesadilla was $15. The salsa was good but the chips were stale.It was just to expensive to be so sub-par. Very clean and the staff was polite. Not worth price of admission.

Omg unbelievable restaurant. We've been almost every week for the last few months, and it's WAY out of Carrollton's league. I only hope the few intelligent people in this town are able to appreciate the quality of this place. This would be a huge asset in Louisville or Cincy, that's how good it is. The owner is an actual CHEF, with actual culinary training, and it shows! It's our new favorite place!!Parking: Easy on street Parking

You would think with a name like Mr, Shrimp, you would see a lot of seafood offerings. There are also lots of ocean friendly decorations. This was our first visit and we were looking forward to seafood primarily because of the name.But when we say down we are brought salsa and chips. That was the first clue. To introduce yourself with salsa you would think it should be memorable. It wasn't. Only one very mild "salsa " was provided. Nothing to hang your name on.The menu was not easy to interpret. The pictures of selections didn't have a corresponding menu selection next to it. And there were many Mexican (I think) selections that had no picture and were described with bland descriptions. But the prices were what you would expect from a more high end restaurant. We had a coconut shrimp appetizer and split a 'seafood' fajita with two waters and spent $48 before tip. The coconut shrimp was good. The dipping sauce tasted store bought as did the fajita sides. The fajita was bland. I was hoping for a signature flavor that would be memorable and tease me to come back and try something else.The space was nicely decorated as you would see in a very seafood focused restaurant. I doubt we'll go back. No mystery or story here. The owner was very nice. We'll see if she can find her niche.
Food is always amazing and fresh! Service is very nice! I have visited mr shrimp at lot now and it never fails to satisfy me.

These reviews never cease to amaze me, this is Mexican Seafood and anyone who doesn't think it's mexican or seafood needs to do some research. Also, someone else said the food tasted frozen, well... we don't exactly live on the Ohio Sea do we? I don't know what they have in their freezer but what I do know is any of the many many times my family has ate here, nothing tasted anything less than fresh. I truly hope the community realizes what they have here and supports its growth. This could really be an amazing spot if the small town doesn't kill it with close mindedness.Parking: Never had any issues parking close.Kid-friendliness: Yes

I came in because it was the only place open on Sunday on the Carrollton downtown river front. But wow was I pleasantly surprised with the great food. They have a lot more than “just” shrimp and seafood. I ordered the Chicken Casadia. (Pictured). More chicken than cheese which is a good thing. Guacamole was fresh and home made. With chips and salsa on the side. The customer Wi-Fi was blazing Fast as well. (>400 mb/s).I visited by river and my Sunday visit to Carrollton would have been a bust if this place wasn’t open. The Tourism council should thank this establishment for the warm welcome we received.
