The Georgia Shrimp Company

Exquisite fresh fish, daily specials, and the

best live music on Atlanta’s south side...

The Georgia Shrimp Company opened in Peachtree City in 2005. In the seven years it has been open, owner Ant Murphy has expanded it twice.  “Three years ago, we doubled in size and on Dec. 1 of last year we opened Murph’s Bar,”  Murphy said. “We’re now three times our original size.” That kind of growth is only possible because of the reception it has received from area residents and that reception is based on a reputation for great food, service and entertainment in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

The newest addition, Murph’s Bar, hopes to continue to build on that reputation.  It is a tapas bar where people can come in purely for tapas and to watch a game on the enormous, high definition televisions, or get a drink while waiting for a seat in the restaurant.

“It has been very well received so far,” said Murphy.  “It’s a great place to catch up with friends or enjoy what is the only non-smoking sports bar in town.”

Some of the tapas items that have already found legions of fans include the Lamb Sliders, the Asian Tuna Tartar and the Bigg City Heart Attack Cheese Fries.

The Georgia Shrimp Company also continues to provide top notch dishes and daily seafood specials as well as live entertainment Sunday through Wednesday at 7 p.m. There is also live entertainment on Saturday nights beginning at 8:30 p.m.

Part of The Georgia Shrimp Company’s expansion has included the patios out front and there may be more growth there in the future as well. “It is great in the spring and summer to be able to sit out there and enjoy the music,” Murphy said. “It sounds great outside.”

The sights and sounds at The Georgia Shrimp Company are an asset but the main draw continues to be the menu. Murphy and Sean Baur, Head Chef and General Manager, are always trying new things with the menu, usually introducing the items at events like their monthly wine dinner and placing the dishes that do very well on the menu. The daily specials always feature fresh fish and often two different types to introduce the clientele to new dishes featuring their innovative sides and sauces.

Among the more popular items at The Georgia Shrimp Company are the Shrimp Grits Antonio, Bigg City’s Killer Spicy Pasta and the Chicken and Shrimp Peri Peri. However, Murphy has seen lots of customers go for the recently introduced seafood skillets, which offer a great variety.  For instance, the Fresh Skillet offers three fillets of fresh fish of the day in a hot skillet with lemon rice, while the Seafood Skillet, which Murphy states is “hard to beat,” offers Calamari, mussels marinara, fried oysters and grilled prawns. The Skillet Extravaganza is the big one, offering grilled shrimp, grilled Cajun mahi mahi, fried oysters topped off with Bigg City’s crab cake and a 6oz lobster tail which they sub with half of a 20oz Maine lobster when available.

Murphy and his staff are focused on providing consistently good food and service, while keeping the atmosphere warm and comfortable.

The Georgia Shrimp Company opens at 11 a.m. every day and Murph’s opens at 2 p.m. guaranteeing that there is always a place for customers to go between 11 a.m. and 11p.m. In addition to daily fish specials, there are also specials at Murph’s including $2 off martinis and buy two tapas items get one free from 2-6 p.m. Murphy stated that Fayette County has been good to The Georgia Shrimp Company and he hopes the restaurant will continue to grow and be a popular destination for the residents of the county for many years to come.
