    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

    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.

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

    Tasty but quite expensive! Know what you want before you go. Use their contactless, online options. It makes it faster.

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

    Shrimp is great, stay away from the chicken strips, they look pale and sickly

    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!!!

    Make sure they cook your fish fresh!! My first experience had me going back, my 2nd was upsetting. Don't cheat in prepping food people.
