This place was recommended by my colleagues. They weren’t wrong about the amount of food, and for the lunch price! Every time I get my lunch here, it’s always freshly cooked and delicious! The jumbo shrimp is perfect. One of my favorites for lunch now.

This place has the best shrimp next to goose island i say its the best on the westside. As for service i only base it on my expireance, when i called ahead to placed the order they told me 15 minutes and when i got to the place i waited an additional 15 minutes i give service 4/5 just know what you want be ready to order they are busy. We got the shrimp and hushpuppys 5/5 across the board flavor, temp, and size shrimps are huge tasted fresh and clean hushpuppies are delisous i highly reccommend that you try the spicy cocktail sauce and tartar support local and tip your servers!

1 LB of Jumbo Shrimp for $12.95 tax included great deal. A very large quantity of Jumbo fried shrimps. Very fast service like 5 to 7 minutes. It's a takeout order.

Had the fried jumbo shrimp. I gave this place a shot cause they shrimp remind me of goose island. And they have a special on Tuesday you get half a pound for $10 dollars. The shrimp are not all that, they are just big, but they also not bad. I like my shrimp with ketchup so I peeled to taste the shrimp without skin and it had no taste. Might go back to try something different.

The food here is amazing. Tuesday Thursday and Friday the have 1lb jumbo shrimp for $12.95. Now the area can be a lil intimidating, there’s a ton of people outside in the street selling weed. My advice mind your business order your food and leave. Other than that the food is on point.

The best jumbo shrimp ever...we are completely pleased with finally getting their shrimp and fish. The clam stripes were cooked perfectly as well. My new spot for family fish Friday as the catfish strips are perfect.

Top 4 in Chicago…argue with your momma. Breading is thick but well seasoned. Here is one …the shrimp are properly cleaned and not overcooked…one detail many places overlook. Jumbo shrimp are exactly that. Most of y’all used to bad shrimp and that’s your standard but believe me…this place is legit.
