    Lupini P.

    First of all customer service top-notch I had the jumbo shrimp, fries, coleslaw, macaroni, salad, and potato salad all excellent and reasonably priced. It's a must try.

    A coworker put me on to this place. It puts me in the mind of Goose Island and Captain B's the food here is delicious with good service. It's a small takeout restaurant which I'm ok with that. I Will mostly return when I'm in the mood for seafood.

    Great customer service, I travel from the suburbs just to have my jumbo shrimp !! This place is a gem I recommend coming here food is always hot and fresh you will not be disappointed.

    ordered the jumbo shrimp, regular shrimp, and fried catfish.

    This establishment put you in the mind of Goose Island. The food very fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp, regular shrimp, and fried catfish. I'm sure the service was welcoming cause if not, we refuse to spend our money where we are tolerated, and not appreciated.

    Regular shrimp with cocktail sauce

    Fantastic! This establishment has been open since May 2022 and I can't believe this is the first review! I stumbled upon their vendor tent at the Maxwell Street Market which is open on the weekends during the summer. I ordered the regular order which was $10 for 8 pieces. Note, they can't guarantee the exact number of pieces, could be more or less, as the shrimps are weighed before cooking. Anyway, the shrimps are cooked to order and let me tell you they are delicious! The regular sized shrimp order was plentiful, filling and much bigger than I thought they would be. The shrimp coating was crunchy with a nice balance of seafood seasoning. I've had some shrimp where the batter was so heavy you could barely find the shrimp, but this wasn't the case here. Now that I know about this eatery, I will be stopping by their vendor booth during the summer and the restaurant during the colder months.

    Now we're talking. DoP is as close an authentic Scottish pub as anything I've been in, in this…read morecountry. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26

I really liked their menu, especially the fusion dishes. We ordered quite a few items.Paneer tikka masala, 100-layer potato, mango salad, paneer tacos, black lentil dal, and a couple of naans. Overall, I enjoyed almost everything except the paneer tacos. The highlights for me were the chilli cheese naan and the 100-layer potato, both were really delicious. We also ordered a few drinks, which were nice. Omg, the desserts were soo good. I forgot the name but it was a chocolate date slice. It was mouthwatering and extremely good. Must try...

From the moment you walk in, the vibe just hits--dim lighting, warm tones, and that effortlessly chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay way longer than you planned. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, catch up with friends, and just be after a long day. The food? So good. The wings are coated in that perfectly sticky, flavorful sauce with just the right amount of heat, paired with crisp celery and carrots for the ultimate balance. The calamari is golden, crispy, and super tender--served with sauces that make every bite even better. And the fries? Classic, hot, and perfectly salted with those must-have dipping sauces on the side (because one is never enough). And what really ties it all together is the service--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you're popping in for something quick or settling in for a long, laid-back night, this is one of those spots that just gets it right every time.

I also ordered a side of cole slaw and red beans and rice. The guy behind the counter said they don't have mild sauce for the chicken. Then he told me the sauces that they had, so I said no sauce. I guess he was also relating the sauces for the rib tips when I already said no sauce. They cook the chicken fresh and may take a little time. When I got home, I was ready to dig in but I found out the sauce discussion left my rib tips with no bbq sauce. I called them and a nice lady told me I would be taken care of the next time, I visit. Thank goodness, I had bbq sauce. But I tried the tips without sauce and they were seasoned well. I put on some Sweet Baby Rays on them and dang it was good. The tips were tender and a lot of meat. The chicken was so good that I wish I would have gotten more. It was seasoned and crunchy. The Cole slaw was okay and the red beans and rice was good, just which it had a little more pot liquor. I would definitely go back. Also the prices that they have online is really outdated.
