I grew up on the south side and remember going to the Docks on 87th and the Dan Ryan a few times as…read morea shorty over twenty years ago. I have been meaning to take a jaunt down the Nostalgic road and try this new(ish) Docks. I ordered a Fishwich with cheese which was huge,and very enjoyable. The fish was breaded and fried nicely with a decent seasoning too. Tartar sauce, lettuce and bread were all good and that matters too. Nothing like a restaurant to have some off-tasting toppings to ruin an otherwise great piece of fish. What I really appreciate is that the sandwich is cooked-to-order. Which means after driving home, feeding the dog,, grabbing something to drink, and finding something to watch on tv, my sandwich was still hot when I finally unwrapped and ate it. Take that filet-o-fish!

OMG I didn't think Dock's still existed. I ordered the fish wish meal since I hadn't had it since…read morethe 90s. The food was excellent and VERY hot. Everything about it was great and we were greeted as soon as we stepped into the restaurant. Excellent customer service. The fries were hot and fresh and so was the okra. I appreciated the look and feel of this restaurant. I'll probably make another trip here before I head back home to Minnesota.

Going into this Whales was definitely an experience I would have given this place 5 stars because…read moremy catfish tails were so Jam good it was cooked to perfection. It was fresh and flaky like fish should be and the lemon pepper sprinkled on top made it even better. My sister had the perch and she said it was absolutely delicious. The reason I had to knock it down to 3 stars is because they were slow, it was dirty, the menu on the wall were opened so you couldn't really see what they had and the hand written ones they had all over were a bit confusing at times. People coming in and smoking cigarettes, drinking etc. but I have to say they did ask them to leave when they did so I don't ding the business for other people being rude. I would suggest you call your order in instead of ordering at the window because they stay crowded from what I understand and especially on a Saturday. I mean that is a testament to how good the food is from this Whales. I mean people were ordering pans of wings, and fish like they were giving away a fresh 100 dollar bill with each order. So overall I will order from them again when I am in the area but I will make sure its a call in order because they do have quality in their food they just need to work on the inside of the restaurant. Enjoy!!!

Deep fried until golden chicken, catfish, shrimp, hush puppies and crab cakes. What more can you ask for when it comes to comfort food. Truly a pickup spot but you can dine the small nautical themed establishment. Still family owned and operated, they're humble nice folks, willing to provide what accommodations they can. This place is perfect for takeout lunch or catering a big party. I have nothing but love and respect for this 100 year old Chicago staple.

Ordered different things on the menu from frog legs, big shrimp, fried mushroom, fried okra, and salmon croquette. All are delicious and lightly breaded just the way I like it. I actually can taste the meat on the frog legs unlike other places. Oh my, the shrimp was big, fresh, and savory. Everything was great and worth it. Less breading for sure. I will be back and try other things on the menu! Place is right off Madison/Austin-Chicago side and street parking available. And let's not forget, the service was nice and made you feel welcome.
