This was my very first time patronizing this place after all my years of living over here I was hungry and wanted some fish so I decided to stop through after reading reviews. I ordered the lake perch fish hush puppies with fries and coleslaw and the Order of mozzarella cheese sticks I must say the customer service to young lady gave was phenomenal she was very helpful but once I got home and starting my food I noticed that my fish was overcooked fried exceptionally way too hard it was almost Beyond edible and it didn't taste at all that fresh maybe I came on a bad day but definitely that fish was not fresh nor was it seasoned I've have had better fish honestly at J&J and sharks the hush puppies was good mozzarella cheese stick was okay and the fries was not often at fries but I think they used the fries that's made by potato product which most restaurants do unless they cut their own fries fresh overall the prices was decent the customer service was great I may give it another try another day another time truly really did wanted to give him more stars than what I did but the food just wouldn't like me read more

South Side Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great customer service and the even better food. A bit pricey, but you do get a good amount of fish for the price (enough for three people.) There's no combos or anything like that. There doesn't seem to be any included fries (although he offered crackers.) Fish is battered and fried fresh. Took about five minutes to deep fry and get it to me. Comes out perfectly dry and the oil looks/tastes clean for the most part. They have a few homemade sauces as well (don't think they have tartar, just BBQ, hotsauce and mild sauce.) The sauces themselves are nothing to write home about. Should honestly be getting more business than they do especially since the guy working there is pretty chill. read more

On Saturday, October 9, 2024 at 10:05 pm the door was locked but the lights were on. I called and was told,"Yes we're open, I must of forgot to unlock the door because I was taking a Shit!" If this guy can't remember to unlock the door I highly doubt he can remember to wash his hands. This disgusting person called me the next day because I called to complain about him. He said I didn't apologize for calling him a F'n Idiot and hung up. I call it as I see it. Gross!! read more

This place has great food! Love their Chicago shrimp. Some of the best I've ever tasted. Checked out their scallops and hush puppies and they were awesome. The staff is super friendly and professional. Definitely going back again. read more

I was going to order catfish fillets and was told they come in strips. I asked how much fish do I get for the lrg? The guy was on the phone and working the register with no gloves on. He then went to the cooler grabbed a handful of strips and tossed them in a bowl to weigh. They were already breaded. He then showed me the amount and asked if I wanted it? After commenting on how disgusted I was, he says, their going in the grease anyways. Does hot grease kill Covid19.... I'll pass on finding out! read more

I've been here a few times the Chicago style jumbo shrimps are my favorite, definitely a place I will keep coming back!!

5 stars on the jumbo shrimp This place stacks up with the big boys imo Which they had a different sauce. Update me review Spent $80 on dinner and they overcooked everything, the younger one did it read more

They now how to season and cook shrimp to perfection. Never over cooked and always fresh. I suggest the Chicago style flavor.

its pretty much a greasy spoon with deep friend everything. I ordered delievery not knowing what to expect after reading the menu which they threw about 5 on my front porch. I ordered the shrimp, hush puppies, and catfish nuggets. the shrimp was OK unseasoned but good quality. the batter on everything. wasnt to my liking and everything seamed unseasoned now that I this k about it. anyway just another mediocre restaurant to add to the long list of bad restaurants in hyde park with low standards. read more

Chicago style jumbo shrimp dipped in the hot bbq, mmmmm! They are great for quick take out orders. Not a huge fan of the coleslaw but my family digs it. Usually get a side of fries which are just standard crinkles. read more

South Side Shrimp - Chicago style shrimp! - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got the Jumbo Shrimp meal and the Chicken Salad Wrap. The meal was reminiscent of Goose island but better. Unlike Goose Island, I prefer my shrimp fried hard. I had plenty of shrimp in the meal. PLEASE LOOSE THE MILKY MACARONI OR COLESLAW. Unless its fresh or homemade it's gross. I could appreciate a small fruit or side salad. The wrap was better than I expected. The Chicken Salad is pretty tasty similar to mine. I will go back. There is no other seafood place in my area. Like every other place in Hyde it closes early. I hope as they get busy the stay open a little later and the get rid of the gross milky sides that really don't get eaten. read more

This place was better when it was Frank's. We stopped in for carry out. First, they ran out of the jumbo shrimp, so we couldn't get a pound, but he gave us an extra 1/4 of the Chicago style to make it up, which was fine. All the shrimp tasted good, and Chicago style has a nice flavor to the batter. On to the sides. We got some fries and an assortment of onion rings, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Most of those were ok until I opened the onion rings. They were all burnt, drying out, and downright disgusting. Being that I have worked in the food industry for years, serving up black, burnt to a crisp food SOULD be considered unacceptable. No one wants to pay for garbage. I wish I would have known that before we got home. Especially for what they charge, I don't think we will be returning. read more

Fast. Very Delicious Food. Shout out to Jennifer Moore for the very delightful customer service. The jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce will make you come back for its tangy and unforgettable taste! read more

If you like old fashioned breaded shrimp this place will meet your expectations. The staff is friendly the shrimps are priced reasonably especially the jumbos. They are clean and tasty. I was disappointed with not receiving any crackers or bread with the shrimp for the price. Just shrimp? No crunch or munch without a charge? Well that's how it goes. read more

The people who work here are extremely friendly and the seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. I'm a bit of a seafood snob and loved it!!

Shrimp were good. They need a better selection of sauces. Goose island sauce would be great with these. They also are a bit more pricey than most shrimp places. $20 for a lb of shrimp is more than most places. I would go back because of closeness to home. Not as often, because of price. Work on a signature sauce too. Please! The bbq/hot sauce is not shrimp sauce. read more

A great carry out shrimp joint ! The jumbo Chicago style shrimp will have you craving them soon after your visit , I believe it's family owned and operated and I know they have provided meals for the homeless and impoverished at a Southside church, which is a huge plus in my book read more

I thought the Chicago style shrimp was excellent!! The 1lb meal deal was perfect for two people to share (unless you are very hungry or don't like to share). I will most definitely be back again soon!! The shrimp cocktail .... So yummmmmmy read more

First time at this establishment I phoned in my order, surprise! surprise! surprise! I ordered1/4 lbs of jumbo Chicago style shrimp and 1/4lbs jumbo garlic shrimp I wish I had a menu, I paid over $9.00for four shrimps. The Chicago style shrimps was a little tough, but I must say the garlic shrimps was very good before I go back I will check out the menu first, and I will not order jumbo shrimp. Bon appétit read more

A little expensive but delicious. Jumbo shrimp are huge and I love them done Chicago Style (that's a type of seasoning for the shrimp) Perch is very good too. read more
