South Side Shrimp: Reviews & Ratings
They never disappoint me. Fresh, hot, fast and friendly. Best of all close to home.
Clean shrimp from head to tail and seasoned and cooked perfectly. Fried veggies SOOO good.
The shrimp are fresh and fried to perfection with the even tails taken off. Great size and the homemade sauces complement the shrimp perfectly. Chicago style is the best
Food always freshly prepared, made to order. Friendly service.
Good service Fresh Shrimp and fries What more can you ask for!!
I love shrimp. This place has really good breaded shrimp. The breading is not too thick and it's nicely even and crispy. A lot of places cut the shrimp down the middle so there is more surface area for the breading. Therefore your paying for more breading and less shrimp. Not here, you get the whole shrimp and even the regular size shrimp are really big. They alao take the tail off and de-vein! The shrimp also does not have that weird metallic taste like some places do. They have some of the best shrimp around. Try the Chicago Style! Great job guys! I will be back for sure.
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.) Makes me miss the tartar sauce mixed with butter that they have at another place. Should honestly be getting more business than they do especially since the guy working there is pretty chill.
All the people that work there are kind and the food is super good ! Best shrimp in Chicago! I would recommend if you haven’t tried it, go give it a shot! You won’t regret it!
