Red Snapper - Matteson - Fast Food Near Me - Matteson, Illinois

The restaurant menu and signage looked really great so I wanted to give them a try. I tried the chicken wings and it was a big disappointment. The wings were very small. I'm finding that most fast food restaurants are using small wings and charging for regular size wings. It just isn't worth the money that they are charging for skinny scrawny chicken wings. I left there still hungry because there wasn't enough meat on those wings to satisfy a small child. I will not go back to try anything else as I do believe the quality of their other items will be subpar as well. read more

I love this restaurant my kids do to love the prices too I been coming here for years

Love the Snapper's food everything I have eaten is good and the portions are great for the price you pay.They also make it the way you ask. The store is always clean when I go there and smelling good!!! read more

Price - Beware of the almost 30% markup on delivery. Other than that normal pricing which is scary cheap. 3/5 Customer Service - Ordered Watermelon Crush... they gave me Fruit Punch. Red Snapper seems almost like Catfish. Philly Steak doesn't already come with fries or drink. Took a bit for them to get the order out of the door 2/5 Philly cheese steak: Appearance - Super wet & messy. Below average. Also small for the price 1/5 Taste - Salty as all hell. Not worth the $10. In fact didn't even come with fries or a drink. 1/5 Boneless Chicken "wings:" Appearance - soaked in honey barbecue sauce. Could use a little less sauce considering that it goes into a cardboard bin. 3/5 Taste - Moist. A little bit too much water and some areas. The chicken is pretty average but the sauce makes up for it. The five pieces are big chunks of breast meat that will definitely fill you up. The fries are a nice bonus. 4/5 Red Snapper Dinner: Appearance - Decent looking fish with odd spots as if they fried chunks of flour too much in certain areas. Definitely overcooked on some parts of it. 2/5 Taste - Decent fish. Can barely taste the seasoning. Dry in some areas from being overcooked. Nothing special here. This honestly tastes similar to catfish so I'm skeptical if it's actually red snapper. 2/5 Overall, the food is such poor quality here. It's as if they don't even try. You get the usual signs of a bad Philly Cheese Steak which is salty meat. There's also a considerable markup (about 30% on each item) for delivery which makes it not even close to worth it. I'm also extremely skeptical that if they actually have red snapper fish. I doubt I'll order from this place ever again. 2 out of 5 stars read more

Completely unseasoned fish that had to have been battered and fried while frozen. Three is the charm for me, apparently, because this is the third time that I've had to put my food in the oven to cook it because the food also arrived extremely undercooked. The chicken wings still had feathers on the ends and they didn't even bother to put the larger coleslaw I paid for into the bag. I won't be back. read more

This establishment has a strong fish odor along with the fact they don't wear hair nets or gloves . The coleslaw is not coleslaw and the fish is either under cooked or overcooked. Beware! read more

The red snapper was old and refried. The taste was awful. The fries were cool and undercooked, and the bread was stale. I packed it up immediately and put it in the outside trash. I can only hope it won't make my trash can smell. It did have a nice history of Lincoln Mall. I remember it well. read more

This place has the worst customer service. They always forget food off of orders and don't care about order modifications. I ordered a chicken on pita with no mayo combo. Got the sandwhich, WITH mayo and no fries/pop. Oh and forget about ordering through Uber Eats. They will NOT issue a refund/credit if this place screws your order up. Don't waste your time! read more

f you're looking for a great local chicken spot open late this is the place to go. They offer a very large menu at good prices and the food is always good. In addition to having great, crispy chicken they have some other great things like catfish, philly steaks, tacos, chips with cheese, pizza puffs and a lot of other neighborhood favorites. Definitely one of my favorite take out spots in Matteson read more

I know ppl see reviews all the time and most times just blow them off. PLEASE PLEASE don't go to this place. The worst, tasteless food EVER!!! Ordered 7/29 from Matteson store cat nuggets and an order of tenders. The nuggets were tasteless. BUT, the tenders was the worst, tasteless, tough tenders EVER...tore off a piece to eat (too tough) never ate the rest...a waste of $21. Additionally, they want to past their credit charges back to the customer by charging 3.5% just to use your card. How about this...during Covid and since restaurants are struggling- how about nobody patron this terrible restaurant anyway. I mean if you're going to venture out and take a risk to go inside a place that doesn't have a drive thru (risk contracting a virus) at the very least they could do is NOT charge you extra to do it! read more

Red Snapper - Matteson - Terrible tenders - Fast Food Near Me - Matteson, Illinois

I recently ordered catered grill fish, grilled shrimp and fried chicken wings. I ordered 48 pieces of grilled fish. 40 pieces of grilled shrimp and 48 pieces of fried chicken wings. I placed the order a week in advance. When I arrived 10 minutes after the promised pick up time, the order was not ready. I left and came back 20 minutes later and was given over a dozen boxes each with two to three pieces of fish in them. When I got home, I had to separate the fish to put it together in a serving dish. The shrimp were so small I had to cook some from my freezer to supplement. When I opened the chicken wings, they were burned. I would have taken them back but my guests were arriving since I had to go back earlier and pick up my late order. I will never patronize this establishment again. I have never had such substandard catering service. read more

It's been over a year since I've been to Red Snapper and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. Surprised because my favorite cook was back and impressed by the food. He is not only a great cook, but the absolute sweetest and most professional individual you will ever meet! The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for some good food and service, try Red Snapper! read more

They have a sign stating that all credit cards will be subject to an 18% surcharge. I gave them debit card and they still charged the 18% when their sign clearly said credit card. read more

Red Snapper has the best staff on the register they are polite and friendly very helpful and patient the menu is impressive and has something for everyone although it is my go to for fried foods all have been good food is always fresh and hot-late open which makes it a nice late night stop!! Great food read more

Went to Red Snapper last night as I had a taste for some chicken and gizzards. Also purchased Jalaeno poppers. I have not eaten there in a couple of years and now I know why. The food was salty (asked for lemon pepper but not extra salt). Quite gross. Th gizzards were fried so hard I ended up throwing them away and the poppers coating was falling apart. I guess I now know why I have not been there in a few years. Now they are a scratch like other restaurants. $20 down the drain. read more

This spot used to be decent. I went in yesterday and the cook was not wearing a mask. The cook was preparing food and talking to two other guys the whole time. One of the guys came back and started help prepare food. I'll never come back. I like living too much to get sick off some food I paid my hard earned $ for. Go at tour own risk!!! read more

I have been itching to have some fried fish, and tonight I grabbed some from Red Snapper. They have a few combos that are $5.00 and all worth a try. Gyro, Italian beef, chicken wings, gizzards, boneless wings, tilapia just to name a few. All come with fries. The place is clean as well. Their workers are friendly and attentive. All food was made to order and was fresh. Now I don't eat fried foods hardly ever, but I enjoyed my dinner I called in right after work. Quick, hot, and yum. read more

Red Snapper - Matteson - 20 PC. Shrimp - Fast Food Near Me - Matteson, Illinois

Not sure why some of y'all think the food is good here has to be the sauces hiding everything that counts like catfish tasting like catfish and not realizing that it is tasteless or some grade B fish or not catfish at all! Purchased here on two occasions and can't help thinking something is not right with the catfish, especially when I don't cover it in sauces! So I cook my own catfish and it definitely had catfish flavor! SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE won't be patronizing this place again! Some where in this my mind is telling right... read more

Ordered the Catfish filet via Doordash. It was great! It was fried to perfection, not too hard; it had the perfect crisp & just enough seasoning. read more

I ran into this place by chance. It was late & I was hungry. I ordered 10 wings and OMG they were so good! The wings fried well and were crisp. The fries were even good! The only complaint I have is that one of my wings had a feather on it & I hate that. They also have nice specials!! I will return to this restaurant! read more

Unsanitary cooks. I don't think they believe in cross contamination. They'll touch everything then your food.

This review is about burnt food, cocktail sauce and poor attitude. The quality of food and service has drastically changed over the years. Thursday, November 10, 2022, I ordered jumbo shrip (14 pieces) and a 3-piece catfish dinner for a total of $41.89. When I got home with my order, I didn't have cocktail sauce. So I went back to Red Snapper in my PJ's and both the cook and cashier argued that they had given me sauce and if I wanted more, I would have to pay for it. The cook finally gave me 2 containers of what I thought was cocktail sauce until I got home. I opened the container and found that it was HOT sauce. Not only that, after taking the shrimp out of the bag, they were burnt and taste like burnt flour. Everything went into the garbage. read more

First time ordering from Red Snapper in Matteson. I didn't want to go out late at night. I had it delivered by Door Dash. The order was ready in about 20 minutes and because I only live about 15 minutes away, it arrived exactly when they said it would even on a Friday night. The young man delivering the food was polite and professional. We ordered two catfish fillet dinners. The temperatures as perfect (not too hot or cold). The food was delicious and you get a generous portion of fries along with bread and cole slaw. I don't eat fried food often so when I do, I will keep this place in mind. read more

This place was suggested by someone who likes their fish tasting fresh and not over-cooked and greasy. I would agree. I like how light and fresh the fish was. It didn't have that taste where it seems they've used the grease for a couple of days. The lemon pepper was evenly distributed. I only give it 4 stars because even though I ordered on the phone it wasn't ready when I went for pickup. I will give it another try! read more

Great food! Ahmed (manager) was patient (as I changed my order 3 times ) and very helpful! Will definitely come again!

WOW!!!! I truly enjoyed my 20 pc. Shrimp basket!!! Great flavor..nice size on the shrimp.. panty of fries. Cole slaw could have been a bigger portion, and should not be under hot food. My husband had the corned beef sandwich special. He enjoyed it, but they do not have horseradish!! And my only complaint is that they don't have fresh brewed iced rea... read more

This place is the worst, the service is horrible and the food is disgusting. Find better use for your money, red snapper is NOT the spot. I even got sick eating there, You've Been Warned! read more

The food is unquestionable. Always grilled, or fried to perfection. The cook Moe is always willing to make accommodations for me. I have a pregnant wife, and her taste buds are a bit strong, and she wants what she wants lol. He closed the grill but open it specifically for me, and he's changed an order at the last min for me. Great personality. Today, matter of fact just now, the cashier Shakita gave great customer service in her own creative way. Beautiful spirit... and be a real person inside and out. Love Red Snapper forever the spot for the fried fresh wings! read more
