"Fresh and delicious! We had soft shell crab, grilled shrimp, fried flounder, fried scallops, hush puppies, the simmerin' bowl with shrimp and scallops (I would recommend just getting the scallops in this) Everything was delicious! The breaded seafood was lightly breaded and not greasy Friendly Service!"

"I grew up going to killer seafood and was so glad to see that they are back open from the storm a few years ago. It was great seafood then and it is still great seafood now. I think that they have some of the best fried shrimp ever. The staff is very friendly and the food is dang good and very reasonably priced for how much food you get. This is a spot I hope to be able to go back to whenever I am back in town."

"Saw all the very high reviews, so put this place on the list during our trip and it did not disappoint. Of course, it was the hottest week of the year, so dining outside did not make my wife too happy. Shade was ample and breeze kept it bearable. Everyone else had fried shrimp, I had shrimp & scallops. Shrimp were very good, but the scallops were the best. Hushpuppies were the best of the trip. I know prices have gone up on everything, but for a food truck with what I would expect to be low overhead, prices seem a little steep."

"We loved the fish, shrimp, and fish tacos, hushpuppies. All cooked fresh. Friendly service. Great location. Wanted to come to Mexico Beach years ago, eat at Killer Seafood and stay at the El Governor, and then Michael hit. We are so very grateful to be here now and see how beautiful it is here. Thank you for staying and for all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into that journey. We had a great time and hope to be back soon!"

"They weren't kidding when they said killer seafood!! The best shrimp basket I've had in a long time, rode my bike to it from the hotel and ate outside under the awning, awesome,, thanks guys!"

- Marcus A.

"We have eaten here before. The food is always delicious and service is always quick and the order exact. We shared the pick 3 combo basket, which included the fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, and flounder. The sides were fries and cole slaw. The grilled shrimp were flavored and were tender. The fried shrimp and flounder were tender and the breading was light and seasoned well. The amount of food was enough for both of us. Their fries were crispy and seasoned. The cole slaw was delicious. The food was delicious, served hot, and the order was perfect. In our previous visit i had the simmering sauce bowl with shrimp and scallops. It was really amazing. The atmosphere is outside with beautiful views of the gulf. Just a great place to eat."
