    WARNING NOT FOR SNOBBY FOLKS...
    I love taking my more sophisticated friends to this Street corner take out shrimp spot.
    Rain, Snow, Sun, Hot or Cold...

    Give'em 3 minutes and ya money you'll have some of the best fried shrimp you can find. You just need to know how many you want 1/2 dozen, Dozen, 2 dozen etc.

    Then when you hear
    "What you want on'em"

    You need to know...

    salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce, cocktail

    Then if you want Fries, coleslaw or macaroni salad.

    And that's it... cus Sid's the King of SHRIMP... that's it.

    When I want to eat'em fresh on the spot. I get my drinks on the way. Have my wet wipes and paper towels ready.

    Landmark type spot

    These are some of the best shrimp I have had in a while. They are seasoned to perfection and have a naturally sweet flavor to them. I love the texture of the shrimp.

    This place is cash only, just a FYI. A little pricey but totally worth it!

    If you are in Philly and want some good shrimp late night Sid Bookers is the place to get it!

    I was told this was the best shrimp. It's an order and go type of place and there are no other choices but shrimp. So if you want chicken or fish go somewhere else.

    The shrimp was really good and it did t take long to get our order.  Sides are limited...Cole slaw, macaroni salad or French fries.  The French fries were a little oily, maybe fried twice.

    Great late hour spot after hanging out with friends.  No seating...only to-go orders.

    Apparently, the lounge part is the place to be.  A lot of history with "super" stars.

    The shrimp was very good and possible return visit

    I was craving fried shrimp and the pizza store wasn't going to work for me. I haven't had Sid Booker's Shrimp in four years because I wasn't too impressed. I decided to give them another shot and I'm glad I did. The prices are a bit expensive but they were pretty big so I was okay with it. I just wish it had a special seasoning in the batter or something but next time I'll just make sure to ask for salt & pepper on them. They were good though hot fresh & juicy. The fries were perfectly fried the right amount of salt pepper & ketchup too. The wait was no more than ten minutes. I'm not sure why they don't sell beverages though thats all that was missing from my meal. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Good for what it is. A little pricey but decent food, good shrimp, ok fries. Like I said it's good for what it is. Seasoned shrimp was good, idk if I went on a bad day but they didn't put no salt on my fries but asked for salt and pepper... sooooo. But yea good for what it is
