“Haven't been here in quite a while, but thought I'd stop in and get a king jalapeno and bacon Philly steak sandwich with a blooming onion the food was great but I don't think I would get the bacon in the Philly cheese steak as it seemed a bit too salty for me. The service was quick and friendly even though it was very busy at around 4:00 p.m. when I stopped in. Would recommend this place as it has a large menu of different foods to order from.“

“This was my first time ever eating at sharks. The food was good and hot. There was only one person in there doing everything and she did a phenomenal job. I will dine in there again and I will definitely recommend it to all my family and associates“

“I travel all over this country, and this is one of the best fried recipes that I have had. The hand cut fries, the wings, and the catfish are litterally some of the best in the industry right now hands down. Right off the 57 north headed to downtown Chicago.“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“Today was my first time there. The food is delicious my kids love it but I don’t feel I had the great service. First, we didn’t get the napkins and utensils on time but way after the food got there. A drink spilled on me (our fault) which made me realized there was no napkins provided, by the time we found the lady for napkins I was soaking wet. Then we were about to start eating and my children needed a fork, well no fork was provided. We ordered 3 seafood boils, no utensils for that were provided neither. My husband ordered an extra drink, never was it brought to us. I’m happy my kids enjoyed it, but we were not that pleased as we saw others being treated differently. Not sure if we will be returning.“

“My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. The owner was very welcoming and down to earth as well as the staff. The food was excellent! The owner also made an announcement that it was our anniversary and played the song It's Our Anniversary. I highly recommend this establishment!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“We had a good experience while celebrating a friend's birthday. The staff adeptly managed our large group with grace and humor. The courses were well timed, the perfect temperature, aromatic and flavorful. Our only minor complaint was the 1 hour wait to be seated, and they don't take reservations. Perhaps they can offer tea to those who are waiting? As they grow, a separate prayer space would be a welcome addition.“

“My favorite for fried shrimp!“

“omg the shrimp is fantastic“

“Lovely staff. Customer service was amazing, but this food?? My god the tastes was majestic! Those Hennessy wings was busssssin!! Legit had nothing like it! Them benais literally were some of the best I’ve had in my 31 years on this planet! 11/10.“

“Checked out Mariscos El Veneno in West Lawn—spent around $30 on camaron sarandeados, spicy crab, and BYOB michelada setup. Seafood flavors were solid and portions were hearty. Cozy spot with ocean-blue walls and live music—got a bit loud, but adds to the vibe. Staff brought a complimentary ceviche tostada, which was a nice touch. Overall a fun night, would totally go back.“

“Tried the Oak Park location on a Wednesday night. It was FANTASTIC! I got a pound of Alaskan King crab legs, and while they didn’t come with crab crackers, we only had a little trouble breaking the meat out. Phenomenal crab legs. They came with perfectly seasoned red potatoes and corn on the cob. My partner ordered (fried) shrimp tacos and could not stop raving about them. The shrimp was very fresh. We also ordered fresh cut fries and they were outstanding, though they could use a bit more seasoning. But extra seasoning was brought upon request. The owner, Shawn, brought out the food, was attentive to our needs, and even struck up a friendly conversation as we left. Fantastic decor/theme, friendly staff and exceptional service! 10/10, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great dinner! Two dinners, since I had leftovers!“

“8 Piece Buffalo Wings and Fries.... FIRE!!! Nice staff, food only took 15 minutes, and came out piping hot, crispy, and delicious. The coleslaw was a nice balance to a great buffalo sauce. Large amount of food for the price. Next time I stop in the area, would probably order the exact same thing.“

“Best food and very clean! I highly recommend 👍👍👍“

“muy buen servicio y la comida muy buena“

“Our first visit to 14 Parish certainly won’t be our last! It’s the best meal we’ve had in Chicago in a while. The cocktails were creative and delicious and the wings and jerk salmon were perfectly cooked. Great service and ambience as well.“

“Came with a group of friends and we had a great time. Drinks were really good they have a full menu for it but the variety of the menu didn’t appeal to me almost everything is seafood which I’m not a fan of but I had the chicken birria taco and they were okay.“

“Ate here tonight and the food was wonderful. We had jerk turkey tips, jerk salmon and shrimp, yam, greens, cabbage, Mac and cheese and fried rice. Everything was tasty, hot, freshly made and spicy. The ladies were super friendly, helpful and provided great service. We will definitely be back to try other items. Ask about the specials that aren’t in the regular menu. Yum!“

“Iesha and Lea was great I dined in and couldn’t decide on what I wanted and was a lil indecisive but Lea suggested the Wednesday lunch special steak and lobster and Iesha came over to make sure everything was perfect they gave great service thank you ladies for dealing with my shenanigans lol you ladies are awesome“

“this seafood paradise on Jeffrey's is cooked so well ,ive tried many of these places but when it comes to seasoning and quality food it's so good.....“

“A classic restaurant in Chicago. Always great service“

“I've said it before, if you find that one or two items they fix well. Keep buying them. They have the combo of Catfish and Shrimp I always get. Service is quick when you call in, the space is clean but 76th can have it's moments. That's anywhere. Call in and Drive off.“

“Amazing food, great service!“

“My shrimp meal was done promptly and Rick was especially informative“

“Stopped by Mariscos Almada for dinner and was impressed. The Tostada de Camarón was fresh and zesty, and the Camarones a la Diabla packed a flavorful punch. The Caldo de Camarón was hearty and comforting. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual. Spent about $30, which felt like a solid deal for the quality and portions. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time.“

“Love the jumbo shrimp & crab cakes“

“Excellent menu, fantastic food, delightful service. A jewel on the southeast side!“

“Best sharks on the planet hands down!!! Fish and chicken always 8/10 comes out really crispy and flavorful their garlic and lemon pepper is perfection other places the blend isn’t right either to lemony or garlicky but hands down best sharks on planet earth second best sharks is the one in blue island“

“The food's flavor profile was precisely on point. The crab legs boasted an intense Old Bay flavor, which was my selection, they also offered Jerk, Lemon Pepper and other seasoning options. The steaming of the crab legs was done to perfection, and the lobster tail was both juicy and generously accompanied by shrimp in butter. At first, I was concerned about the butter quantity, but it turned out to be just sufficient for all the food items when I tilted my tray. The red potatoes and broccoli were delightful, but I would have liked more lemon, given the generous serving of shrimp and crab. The beef hot sausage and hard-boiled egg were seasoned to match the rest, and the culinary expertise would likely impress even my best friend. I give it a 9/10 rating and would definitely go back.“

“The food is amazing and always on point. Place is small but , there is seating if dining in is desired. Prices are a bit pricey for the hood, however what food now days is not. Plus, they are not stingy on product. The buttery chicken Pasta w shrimp I ate on for 3/4 days no cap. Enjoy!!!“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Ordered a sm catfish dinner was definitely a hit a the j*** spot next door had the perfect sides to go with the fish I ate some last night the rest this morning now I'm On my way back to see if they are consistently delicious add on insta“

“Great food! My friend and I went for a quick bite to eat before going home. This place hit the spot. The guy taking our was good, and he gave us recommendations and explained the menu. We ordered wings, tenders, shrimp, and fries with some canned drinks. It's not a fancy food spot, but if you're hungry and want something to satisfy you, I recommend coming here.“

“Seafood snacks? What are y’all got, kelp? Honestly, I have no way to possibly fathom what a seafood snack could be. But that’s not even the most confusing part to me, y’all got steak too? How? Is the steak a seafood snack? Well, it is separated by a “&”, so I guess not. Or could it possibly be that the cows who are the steaks were fed seafood snacks? Or could it be that the cows were sea cows? Maybe the cows were born and raised underwater. I’m just trying to imagine the logistics of that, like how would the cows get oxygen? Maybe it’s highly oxygenated water. Or maybe throughout billions of years of evolution the cows became adapted to the sea life. I’m not even sure that cows have been around for that long. But also, I feel like we would be feeding off of a very rare species. They’re probably super rare because I have never heard of them before. So it might be best that we don’t eat the sea cows, or they might go extinct.“
