Driving through Madison and stopped here to eat after reading reviews and looking for  a place on the river.  Location is not on the river, but it does have a view depending on where you are seated. There are two separate seating sections.  One with raised seating section with view of river, one with side view but obscured by bridge.  Latter section had a great fireplace with mantle setting a nice atmosphere.  It was on at the time of our visit. Â
Based on Yelp reviews, I ordered fried shrimp. Coating was light and tasty. Â My husband had the Friday special of shrimp fettuccine. Â It was creamy with large pieces of shrimp and well worth a try. Â Both came with one side and salad bar. Â
Salad bar was small, but well stocked with unique twists on bar fare. Â Wish I'd taken more of the mashed potato salad which was excellent as was the BQ? three bean salad. Â
Decor is dated, but so is the historical building. Â Would suggest, however, doing something to hide the very visible wait service area as it was very cluttered and unsightly. Â
Will be back.
We were greeted by the owner and were able to select a window table overlooking the river. Â Everyone was friendly and helpful, and service was excellent and prompt. Â My husband had the fried shrimp and baked potato, and I had the grilled oysters and we both had the salad bar. Â Everything was excellent and we really enjoyed the salad bar which features homemade salads. Â I would recommend this unique restaurant to anyone.
Review Source:Our family went there a week ago. Â It was ugh, very disappointed, since we are about an hour away & thought it would be a good change from the norm. Â My son had frog legs, they were inedible....tasted like fish....frog legs should not taste like fish!!! Â The tilapia (sp?) was nothing more than rolled in crumbs and baked....I'm not sure it even really was tilapia. Â I ordered the Shrimp Panama, GROSS!!! Â My husband ordered the best thing, fried shrimp, can't mess that up. Â
Over all the food is yuck, but the service and staff were very friendly, if that even matters....I wish I had my $100.00 + back
Although it is located north of the Ohio River, southern hospitality is served in abundance here. The food was good as well. Less casual than it appeared from the outside, the dining room is elegant but relaxed. And looking out over the river, watching the barges, eating great seafood served by the warm and gracious  staff made 5 stars an easy choice.
Review Source:The service and staff were excellent. Â The owner, Scott, was very upbeat and welcoming. Â Cassidy, our waitress, was not only an excellent waitress but offered tips on fun stuff to do while we were in town.
My husband had steak and crab legs and I had the baked halibut oscar. Â Both dishes were amazing. Â They make great cosmopolitans also. Â If you are in Madison I highly recommend you dine here.
Awsome 1970's type american fish house... we aint serving it unless its FRIED !!
actually..they do have some very healthy items....but...when in Madison...do as the Madisonians do !
Awsomely huge amounts of perfectly fried goodies....consider the "Captains Table"....intended for one..but trust moi.....split it !

This aint gourmet...but it is fun and good for the soul !
We're on our road trip of America and made our first stop in Madison. We wanted to go somewhere else, but it was closed and the locals made this recommendation. The atmosphere was just as sweet as the people, and the food was ok, but good for the price. The onion soup was really great and I even asked for a second cup. For the main dish I ordered the Seafood Platter: "A combination of French fried food including Shrimp, scallops, fish, frog legs, and clam strips. One of our most popular dishes." We opted to not have it fried to be a little healthy... that was a mistake. I think I've learned that its best to order things as they were meant to be. The fish was just a little bland although my mom really liked it and the frog legs did not taste like chicken... unless chicken lives in a pond.
Review Source:I had the captains table which was a five course dinner. Tons of food and it came with two drinks for I believe $34.00.I thought everything was great. I cant wait to get back to Madison to have it again. The restaurant sits on the Ohio and has some great window seats with awesome views.
Review Source:Key West Shrimp House provides a lot of food for the money. I've been there four times and never had room for dessert. Dinners come with soup (step up to the seafood chowder for a little extra), a side (the twice-baked potato is the usual choice) and salad bar, which is less than amazing selection-wise, but has a delicious corn relish that's worth a second trip. Shrimp is obviously the specialty and is served in a bunch of different ways. There are other seafood options as well as a few steak and chicken choices. It's a ton of pretty tasty food.
