Hungry girl syndrome kicked in so I forgot to take pictures of my food but everything was fresh and hot when it arrived. The catfish and shrimp were well seasoned and perfectly fried. The hushpuppies were fantastic! They were golden brown but melted in your mouth. I'm hooked! Everything was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be ordering again.

Ok heard about this place and I've been looking for a place that have frog legs. Found my new place…read moreto go to. I don't have to travel far to get 'em. So, here goes! 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.

Even though there is street parking, you have to get arrive early to get a parking spot. There was a nice security at the door to assist you inside. I was lucky to find a park right in front of the place. I walked inside and was amaze by the decor and ambience. Nice music, seating area and bar to order your drinks. The service was good. Now here is where this review lost stars. The Food. Very pricey and mediocre. I ordered the supposedly Super Nacho Platter for $18.00 which I paid more with the tax. My food arrived in a black syform container with lack of meat, cold and tasteless. A lady sitting across from me order the chicken wing platter for $32.00 which she ended up paying around $40.00. Very disappointing to pay this much for a few wings and fries. I don't mind supporting neighborhood businesses. Now we are paying more for the ambience than the food and drinks.

I knew about "Seafood Junction" because of a former co-worker's recommendation. I love seafood,…read moreand hubby and I were running errands nearby. Therefore, we concluded that it was an appropriate choice to stop in for an early dinner. There are two (2) separate menus: one for the "steamed" version; the other one for the "fried." We opted for the fried catfish and perch dinners in Cajun seasoning in our first visit. Both dinners came with an AMPLE amount of fries. Since everything was made-to-order and four (4) to-go and dine-in orders were placed before ours, it was a slightly longer, yet still reasonable wait (approximately 20 minutes). The breading wasn't thick at all. The crust was crispy and golden, while the meat inside remained juicy. I enjoyed the Cajun seasoning, though it could have gone a bit easy on the salt. "Seafood Junction" made a positive impression on our inaugural visit. We thought of this corner joint this evening and wanted to get some steamed seafood home. The "steamed" combos were numbered. Contents of seafood combination in each choice were also clearly written on the black chalk board. We had the $31 shrimps, lobster tail, crab, and clams combo tray in Cajun sauce. This also came with potatoes, broccoli, and corn. The wait was rather short and sweet this time around. In about fifteen (15) minutes, our order number was called. Well, that must be my New Year luck! Everything we had was delicious. I could tell parts were thoroughly cleaned before cooking. Other than the Cajun sauce that we requested, there were two (2) additional sauces that resembled "drawn butter" included in the bag. This $31 combo definitely was a treat for us. By the way, our cats also wanted a share of our steamed seafood feast. Of course, hubby and I vigilantly dodged their claws before they reached to the tray. Hey nice try, buddies! I actually preferred their steamed seafood because I can bring the tray home, make myself a cup of tea or coffee, turn the TV on, and dig in with a plenty of napkins on the table. The prices were fair, considering it's Chicago.

Recently, a friend had sent a text to me with a listing of restaurants to try in the Austin…read moreneighborhood of Chicago. The Licking was one of the restaurants on the list. I had no idea that DJ Khalid had opened a spot on the Chicago landscape, as The Licking is one of his restaurants. Not bad and a nice addition to Austin since it's not the usual fish hut, rib joint, or chicken shack. I arrived early enough to have the restaurant to myself. For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken roll that came with a sweet chili sauce. High marks. They didn't try to go gourmet or spectacular, just sent rolls to the table that tasted delicious. For my main meal, I ordered fried red snapper with collards and sweet potatoes. I appreciate the red snapper being meaty and having only a light crust. I used some more of the sweet chili sauce or dipping, which was a good option. The greens were flavorful and without any salt meat, ham hock, or smoked turkey. Often restaurants serve bland greens if they don't use hock or turkey. That was not the case here. The sweet potatoes were a nice add-on that they didn't mess up. Having eaten too much, I had a slice of caramel cake for takeaway. It was from someone who baked the desserts of premises. I can't ding the restaurant for the cake needing to be warmed up to moisten it, but I will pass on it next time around. The woman working the front of the house was cool. Made good recommendations and also spoke at length about some other good restaurants in the Austin area. Like many restaurants I've gone to lately, I will have to go back later to try a few other items on the menu.

I had just left the gym and I was looking for something to eat, a quick Google search found this Shark's Chicken. I went in, ordered my food, and waited. The place was really clean and everything was pretty much new because they just open. I got my food home, about 18 minutes later, and I was blown away. This chicken and fries were still hot, had the perfect amount of lemon pepper seasoning on them, and was still crispy and good. (Make sure you open the bag while you drive home so that you don't steam your food). I typically go to the Sharks on Cumberland, but I don't think I'm going there anymore unless they step up to the level of this Shark's. This might be our new "go to" Shark's. I like to wait a few days before I write a review just to make sure everything is all good but today I could not wait. I'm still eating and I'm writing this review right now. Guys, congratulations on the new place, good luck with your business.

At first glance, it seemed like they didn't add enough alfredo sauce, but it was at the bottom of the container. The fries were crispy, and the salmon was perfectly seasoned. The alfredo sauce was delicious as well. On the menu it says that it comes with chives, but it came with spinach. This did not bother me, but I just wanted others to be aware.

The drinks were definitely on the pricey side, but honestly, they were worth it. Now for the not-so-great part -- the service was disappointing. No one was rude or unfriendly, but we rarely saw our server and had to wait or flag someone down just to ask basic questions. It just didn't feel attentive. When we walked in, they checked our IDs, which felt a little unnecessary given our age, but we understand policies are policies. The ambiance was nice and calm with music playing in the background, and the bar wasn't crowded, which made us even more confused about the lack of service. We would go back when we're in town -- if only for the food -- because that part truly did not disappoint.
