Shrimpers is located in the cultural district of Fort Worth. It is less than 2 miles from the zoo and a short distance from Casa Manana, Will Rogers Coliseum, and the Fort Worth Art and Science Museum.
Dress is casual, and in the evening, when I was there, the waitresses wore shorts. You can have the choice of a booth or table.
While there is nothing fancy about the restaurant inside or out, the food is good and service is excellent. I tried the Mississippi catfish basket with fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. Also on the menu for about the same price are a shrimp basket and oyster basket. Shrimpers seems to be primarily a seafood restaurant, but also on the menu are some Mexican dishes, such as faijtas and salads. Prices vary from as low as $4.95 for hamburger to $20 for large oyster and shrimp plates.
The booths are comfortable, and there is boat and some fish placed at intervals on the walls to give atmosphere. However, if you are looking for romantic and gourmet-type dining, then this is not the place. Management has the radio playing a little too loud for my liking, but, overall, you will leave here with good dining experience. I recommend this restaurant because I like the service and the food.
