    I thought the service was very good. The onion rings were on point. And the coconut shrimp was good, but the regular fried shrimp has a heavy cornbread batter that just doesn't let the shrimp shine.

    Exceptional shrimp. I sat in and ate there before. I asked the waitress if she had frog legs and she said yes. So I said good...then hop in the kitchen and get me some shrimp. Hahaha

    If you order a whole order of shrimp on a Bears game day, you get an additional 1/2 order free

    Fish chips are popular at this crowded seafood joint where all of the food is prepared fresh daily. Open seven days a week, 24 hours. If you’re craving fried shrimp at 3 a.m., this is your spot. Read more

    Everything is good here. Personally, I'm a fan of the chicken strips. Not overfried or breaded, really quite juicy.

    Fried seafood galore. Open till late or is it 24hrs? Good fried shrimps & fried okra. The fried oysters were disappointing though.

    Fried oysters are still good, but not as juicy as they were 20 years ago...however, the fried catfish still got it 👌

    There are times I feel like it's pointless to call in your order...you shouldn't have to wait when you call in AND give them an Estimated Time of Arrival...#FAIL!!!
