    I finally made it to Smoke's Bistro to sit down and enjoy instead of getting take-out lamb pizza…read more Ms. Linda was our server who showed care and was an absolutely wonderful spirit. The food is one of thee best in Chicago hands down. You will have to wait but it's BYOB so enjoy a cocktail as you nibble on those pillow soft delicious rolls they start you off with. I appreciate having a sit down establishment in the area with nice lighting, relaxing music and great customer service. Gives you living room feels. The food is seasoned to the God's and you can taste the care that went into both dishes. I had the salmon and shrimp with cream buttered sauce. It was perfect. Cooked perfectly, not dry, moist and full of flavor. My friend had the lamb chops that were slightly overcooked on the first attempt but flavorful, the second plate was on point with just the right hint of pink and juicy. The garlic mashed potatoes were full of flavor and whipped by hand. The asparagus and spinach were delicious. My only issue was that they had to remake her lamb chops but it was misunderstanding and it was quickly resolved. It was a great treat on hump day and I will be adding this into my monthly rotation. I appreciate gems like this in the neighborhood.

    I must say Smokes Bistro never disappoints. I had the grilled lamb chops . Grilled to Perfection…read more and mashed garlic potatoes, and grilled asparagus. It was simply delicious and fresh and well seasoned. Carmen was a great . server . It's a spot I enjoy dining at I definitely highly recommend.

    this place back in the day was the place to go , but now ,not so much ,i would never eat here again…read more, never order catfish fillets because they are substituting it for tilapia instead , and think that you are crazy and don't know the difference, i order 20 pieces of catfish fillet pay $50.70 and when I got home, everyone was saying it was tilapia. I ate a piece and they were right I called them and they did not want to honor or give me the difference in price refunded , instead they wanted to give us a different smaller order to me that is saying you're guilty. Save your money. Do not waste your money here. They are going the cheaper route to get a profit now.

    It's rare that I'm confused about a place. This place seems to always have at least two people…read morewaiting outside in their cars, but I guess the clientele wouldn't know good food if it slapped them in the face. Walking in the place reaks of rotten fish which is a major red flag, especially on a freaking Tuesday (fresh fish for the week should've been delivered Sunday or Monday like with most restaurants.) They didn't have bass so I got some jack salmon. The salmon reaked of rotten fish as well. The taste was off too and my stomach turned within 10 minutes after eating. Definitely serving spoiled fish to people which is what other reviewers have complained about. No bread either. The breading on the fish is hardly seasoned. No surprise when you look up their health scores they failed inspection in the past for unclean facilities and not even having proper plumbing as latest as November 2024. They've somehow either outright failed or barely passed as long as certain conditions were to be met 13 out of 27 times over the years which is crazy. Stay away!

    Most places I find are found by Social Media or Word of Mouth. This place was word of mouth. My…read moresister was doing my hair and said we should get some seafood from this place that Mama has been to. Seafood is life so I said absolutely. Once we were done we headed over there. When we went in there isn't anywhere to really sit and when you walk in you wouldn't think greatness come from there but boy was I wrong.We ordered and we were told it would be about 20-30mins. So while we waited to went to a few other stores. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and friendly I was confused on what flavor I should get and I asked could I do 3 flavors and he told me what ever I want. I ordered the 1lb crab and 1/2 lb shrimp with Lemon Pepper, Old Bay and Cajun. When we received the food we checked it and it smelled so good and I didn't know it came with Corn, Potatoes and Broccoli. Once I made it home my food was warm at no fault to them just I had a few errands to run before making it home. Even being warm it was still amazing. My favorite part was the Broccoli. I could have a whole pan of that alone. But EVERYTHING was amazing. Price Point was average for Seafood and you already I want to try something new or different the next time I go because I will be back.

    I've been here several times and had one bad experience. I think and hope it was just a bad day…read more Good and fresh veggies cooked just right. I hate mushy-overcooked. Shrimp was a little overcooked; but I know it's hard not to overcook shrimp.
