Best shrimp around but if you go there they only take cash only so just a tip I don't know how they are still open but I guess the shrimp is so good people come from all over to get food from here I talked with a man one time in there he told me drives a hour every week to get Bob's Shrimp so they are doing something right read more

They are good shrimp the medium shrimp are bigger than many shrimp places jumbo shrimp. No where to sit but I ate in my car, couldn't make it home before I devoured a half pound. Mmm. read more

My absolute favorite shrimp place EVER! I use to live in Hammond, IN before I moved to Georgia and this is still my favorite spot in town! Shrimp is so good but what tops it off is the sauce! Mild and hot are both great but mixed together is even better! read more

In my book no seafood place has ever even come close to being better than Bob's Shrimp! Love this place! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the jumbo shrimp dinner seems to be my favorite! A little pricey but well worth it! read more

I love, love, absolutely love this place. Every time I come into town I make a stop here. They have the best jumbo shrimp....and mild sauce. They are better than Rays Shrimp or any other seafood place around here. They do not accept credit/debit cards. And they are not open on Sundays. read more

I had the pound of smelt, and it was delicious! Very fresh, hot very tasty. Customer service was excellent, hometown feel. Will be back again if an area read more

The catfish was just not that good, and the sides were not good either. Also, they only take cash for payments.

Best shrimp joint your gonna find in Chicago land area!!! Major key Alert!! The XL shrimp is amazing so fresh so crisp just right. If your in the mood for shrimp this place is the one hands down. Think it beats broadway shrimp. Gets busy at times but definitely worth the wait and they have a special 15$ pound of large shrimp that's a great deal good eating!! read more

Love this place! I always order 1 lb of large shrimp and 1lb clam strips. Both items are always cooked well and the mild dipping sauce is delicious. Always make sure to check your food before you leave otherwise you're screwed. If you didn't get what you ordered and you leave it is no longer their responsibility. They have a note on the door to remind you. I picked up my food once and almost forgot to check my bags. I'm glad I did because there was catfish in my bag instead of clam strips. The woman behind the counter said they have similar abbreviations. So, since I caught their mistake before I left they gave me the right food with no problem. They even gave me a pop while I waited but Im sure that isn't something they do often. Make sure you place your order ahead of time otherwise you'll be waiting a while, this place gets pretty good business. read more

Shrimp. The best around. I LOVE their jumbo shrimp. Sure its a bit pricey for a pound, but its DELICIOUS. My old favorite was 95th st shrimp on the South Side, but Bob's has displaced them. Its carryout only at this location. Try it. You''ll love it. read more

When I go to Bob's I know I'm home. I haven't had Bob's since when they were selling their ships out of that little shack near the railroad tracks. Then when I found out they moved here to this new spot. I was like finally cause it was long overdue. But Bob's still hasn't lost his touch and I don't mind paying that high those ass prices. My cousin who is from Atlanta damn near was on his knees begging me to take him to Bob's before he left for the airport. read more

Every time i bite into a piece of these shrimp, I remember why I don't mind paying the price. Still my number one for fried shrimp any day of the week. No matter how packed they are, the staff are always hustling to get you taken care of asap. Highly Recommend Bob's Shrimp read more

Ate there for 30 years, my Dad's favorite! Whenever I'm back to the Region, I always stop there. I would go so far as say it's one of the top 100 Shrimp houses in the country. And yes they have gizzards too. You go to eat out at a place when they make something you cannot re-create at home. read more

Loved this spot since I was a kid! I travel from the northside of Chicago just for the Jumbo shrimp and slaw!!

Curse you, Bob's Shrimp!! I crave your delicious shrimp CONSTANTLY! Even right now and it's breakfast time!

Stopped here leaving Chicago and was so happily surprised by how delicious it was. Fried smelt were fresh and the shrimp were large, plump and we'll seasoned. I'm picky about seafood and usually avoid eating it on the coasts, but this was great! Staff were also really friendly, will definitely return next time I'm out of Chicago this way. read more

Bob's Shrimp - Fried smelt and fried shrimp with red sauce - Seafood Near Me - Hammond, Indiana

OMG! BEST shrimp in town. Even the large shrimp dinner is to die for... Lightly breaded and moist, choice of three different sauces. They have good lake perch & cat fish, but I keep getting the shrimp.... read more

Between Bobs in Hammond & Simply Seafood in Merrillville they are the best place )s) for Fresh Hot Delicious Seafood in the County!!!

Bobs to me is tip top. Best all around shrimp I've had. I've eaten shrimp all over the coasts and Bobs takes the cake. Great quality; fast service; perfect light breading; and their in house mild and hot cocktail sauces are spot on. Excellent flavor. I try to go at least once a month. read more

Love the shrimp. We also tried the lake perch and fried mushrooms, delicious. Not in the best neighborhood so just be wary. Bring cash, no debit or credit accepted here. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE their shrimp! Reasonable prices. Definitely our fave place in North Hammond for shrimp.

I love there jumbo shimp. I moved away from there i can't find another place that came close to there shimp

Although it may not look appealing from the outside, they have the absolute best shrimp/seafood in the area. The jumbo shrimp is my favorite....huge, meaty pieces of shrimp breaded perfectly and the mild sauce is the best I've ever tasted ! The service is pretty quick, depending on how crowded they are, but even if you have to wait, its well worth it. read more

The absolute best shrimp I have ever eaten. They have nice big fat shrimp cooked to perfection. The sauce is very good too. The place isn't much to look at and no seating inside but i will gladly eat in my car or anywhere else. The shrimp is so good i crave it often. I haven't tried anything else on the menu but I never go wrong with the shrimp. Mmmmmmm , Bobs Shrimp. read more

Do not eat here!! You will get completely hooked on their shrimp, and never be able to order shrimp anywhere else every again!! Seriously, it's that good. Carryout only. Reasonably priced. Never been disappointed. Oh, crabby workers, but I would be too---they're busy as heck! read more

Bob's Shrimp is the only place to get shrimp. My aunt told me about the place. She lives in Griffith and drives all the way out to Hammond just to get shrimp. There is no questioning that. I finally tried this place a few weeks ago, all I can say is that it's worth every penny you have to spend just to get there and get some. read more

Best shrimp in all of the land. Sure it's a little pricey but it is well worth every penny plus a tip. They have good sized shrimp the will surely fill you up. Plus the mild sauce can go good with anything, especially there cheese sticks read more

Been there every other week i know what size jumbo shrimp r. Ordered a pound of jumbo shrimp.. they are not even xtra lg. Or large. Coustomer servise sucks. 38.00 down the drain. Thanx for nothing!!!! After years of going there &shrimpexpress.... u shoulad have saved shrimp express. Better quality . Just loss about 130.00 a month one customer read more

I have been going to Bob,s Shrimp for 15 years. However over the course of the last few months, the jumbos are no longer as large as they were in the past 20 years. It is really disappointing. It seems as if they are the size of the old large or extra large shrimp. Don't get me wrong, the shrimp are still very good, but no longer are the Jumbos truly the size of the Jumbos that were served for the last 20 years Relatively new customers won't notice but true long time aficionados of Bob's have noticed and are disappointed. So for now, I will just order the extra large since Jumb's are no longer Jumbo's. read more

I have been coming to Bob's since its last location on Chicago Ave. The large and jumbo shrimp are excellent as well as the lake or ocean perch and catfish nuggets. Will not be disappointed. read more

Skip the long lines @ Shrimp Express & give them a try. Food is always fresh. The staff is always friendly. I'm not sure but they may also be the owners of Shrimp Express. read more

I'm surprised how Bobs shrimp has not reached the full 5 stars yet, this place offers some of the best quality shrimp and sea food in NWI. If your a health eater , I'd use bobs as a cheat as they mostly sell fried foods. Great business, I believe it's family owned, staff gives you what you ask for! It's like a home feeling from the time you order to the first bite. Shrimp shack that deserves a visit if you haven't yet tried it! Trust it's worth it read more

they used the same gloves when making your food and to take your money and put it in the bag!!! the place was disgusting in the back with flour and juices from fish and shrimp all over the place! board of health sure needs to pay a visit! the shrimp order was $90! i asked if you could just separate one pound in half for my dad and they said they will have to charge me double!!! why when i had to pay $20+ per pound for jumbo shrimp that was large shrimo! digusting that they only accept cash! why because they dont want to pay taxes?!!! regardless all that money i sure don't want covid-19 from the handling of nasty money and making the food with the same gloves on to prepare your order right after touching nasty money! very odd the onlyyyyyyy accept strictly cash money nothing else! i used the shrimp for bait because they would not refund my money after i approached them how non sanitary and low as you can go to do that during covid-19 times! sign says phone the order in and there was 30+ people inside waiting for their order cramed inside and could barely move shoulder to shoulder!!! waste of my time and money and low as you can go to have such a dirty and appalling kitchen just read more

This place is horrible!! We went last night...got a perch dinner and a lb of jumbo shrimp. Grease was starting to come through the bag as the guy put it on the counter for us to take. No flavor in the shrimp, the perch was so-so, fries were soggy and so was the zucchini. If you order a dinner, it doesnt say on the menu board what is in the dinner. There is a sign up that says if they forget anything in your order and you dont check it all before you leave, they are not responsible for it. And if you are considering going, bring cash because thats all they take. When we got home, the bags were falling apart from all the grease! Years ago, they were a kick ass place to eat. I dont know if when they moved they changed owners or they just dont care, but find a better place to eat!! We regretted not heading to outback where they had unlimited shrimp. We have a lot of left overs in the fridge. May end up giving it to the feral cats I feed. read more

I could eat here everyday!! Not a lot of breading and the fish is fresh. Just wish they were open on Sunday when I get out of church.

so d*** good ! yes yes ! always fresh food and very friendly staff... i'm not just saying this .im a very very pickey person about my food . i love this place read more

OMG!!!! The best jumbo shrimp and hot shrimp ever. Bob's is truly a one of a kind establishment. Nothing compares. The two hour drive is definitely worth it. 10 stars!! read more

Although the shrimp were pretty good the rude behavior will keep me away. News flash you will have ppl who are new to the area come into you establishment and it may take them a minute or two to place an order and maybe just maybe they will have a question. Not only was I rushed by an eye rolling employee but when my food was handed to me an employee said "next time know what you want to order." ARE YOU SERIOUS JERK! The food aint that great to get treated like my money dont matter, hey maybe my money doesnt matter. Logic: it doesnt make sense to eat your artery clogging food and to be treated rude on top of that NO THANKS. I'll go to Broadway Shrimp EC next time, better yet becoming Vegan sounds better. Yay me I wanna live longer anyway. Im not the only person who feels this way the difference with me is I don't continue to pay establishment for rude behavior. Employees do what management allows them to do. So disappointed, but thanks you have pushed me to the veggie side I feel better then ever. read more

Had the worst experience in food almost here. Last night my father and I stopped in to get some Large shrimp and fish. The lady working the counter told us they only had jumbo. They were out of large and extra large. So we ordered the jumbo and some smelt and perch. Soon, after two other gentleman came in and ordered large and she said the would make some for them. I then asked her why we couldn't get large if they could, and she sarcastically said that they only had jumbo but now they have large. I was befuddled. My dad really wanted large. Then another man came in and wanted jumbo and she told him they only had large. My dad then got up and asked her if he could get large since she gave the other two men large, and the last man could have his jumbo. I was irate by then and let her have it. She argued back with me and I told her that her cuscustomer service was horrible and I will never be back. I am from here but live out of town now and I mentioned that fact. The whole situation was shady. And the smelt was too hard and the fish had no flavor. The shrimp was ok. I will not be back and I am calling management about the affair. Beware of this scam!! read more

I found Bob's shrimp on accident a few years ago and I've been a huge fan ever since. The food (x-large shrimp) is THEE BOMB ! well I went to my favorite shrimp house on 6/10/15 when I pulled up it looked closed no cars , no customers ! Very unusual for Bob's so I thought they were closed until another patron pulled up and entered, I go to order my X-Lrg pound and they don't have them anymore, alternative was Large. The food came in record time looked tasty but there was no sauce, crackers or napkins so I asked for hot sauce and of course naps the lady says we no longer give you sauce it's .50 I was like oooh so after 16.00 you don't give sauce anymore !! I immediately ask if it was under new management and she said no. People something is not right here ! The food was no longer mouth watering, no sauce or napkins and a rude lady that had no answers but we don't do it anymore. I'd like you to share your experience if you gave gone to Bob's shrimp. Thanks read more
