Takka Grill Shrimpies - Philadelphia

Hidden Gem! This place got great grilled food! I’ve had a few things off their menu but my fave’s are the beef short ribs and grilled chicken and shrimp platter! Their yams and mash/ gravy are made from scratch and with love. The menu is extensive and their are so many options to choose from. Besides what I’ve posted, I have also tried their butterfly shrimp, crispy hot wings and Mac&cheese.Cons:1. Parking: You will drive right past it twice before you find it and Google Maps will send you the back way to get there. It’s in a weird parking lot behind something like a bar2. Location: it’s pretty much a hole-in-the-wall location. Upon going inside, it looks like it’s in the process of shutting down as 80% of the establishment is packed up and just the kitchen is available. You cannot eat-in, it’s strictly “take out” only. When you come, you have to ring a bell to tell them you are there and if your food not ready, no worries, it will be worth the wait.I consider this spot a “hood favorite” as it always hits the spot.

Save your money!!! dirty and nasty food! customer service has the nerve to suck!!!

I order all the time Buffalo Fried Shrimps and Dungeness Crabs Legs with Garlic and Butter. Delicious!!!

You can't eat in the restaurant, however it's clean. The food is delicious ? I have tried a variety of their menu items and they are all finger licking good.Parking: They have limited parking spaces because they are take out restaurant only.

I am a FREQUENT customer at this place! I done put my whole family onto this secret gem! This morning (2AM to be exact) to get Alaskan snow crabs and they were AMAZING! So extremely juicy and FRESH to the core! This was my MOST RECENT purchase and literally the icing on the cake! I’ve had burgers, wraps and so much more from this place and they NEVER disappoint!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to ANYONE who’s considering it!! I am a BIG FAN of this family owned business!DISCLAIMER : THIS IS NOT A PAID REVIEW!!!!
