About

Humble family-owned joint known for crab rice, shark steak & other Southern seafood specialties.

— Google Editorial Summary

Soul-food, fish fry fixture specializing in seafood-based rice dishes and a mix of southern staples, plus generous portions.

— Google AI Overview

Hannibal's Kitchen is a casual, no-frills spot locals swear by for shrimp and classic soul food — think fried shrimp, mac and greens. Service is friendly (shoutout to Teresa) and it still feels like the same hole-in-the-wall place many of us found in college.
