50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Calumet Park

“Great food and drinks, amazing staff and the music was off the chain!!!!! Watched an NBA playoff game here and the energy was electric....The game was broadcast inside and out and I was able to smoke my cigar on the outside patio. Monday night delight.“

“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.“

“Delicious food brought to us by our most wonderful server Monica.“

“love this place! Everyone should try it!!!“

“Captain Hook’s Fish & Chicken is so good and always hits the spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and just flat-out better than anywhere else. They’re always open when I need them, and the taste is consistently amazing every time. I literally drive 30 minutes just to come here, and that should tell you everything. I have a Sharks Fish & Chicken near my house and it does not compare at all. Captain Hook’s is on a whole different level.“

“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.“

“Amazing smoked beef brisket sandwich with fresh cut fries. Everything was was made fresh and served piping hot. The BBQ sauce is delicious... sweet, smoky and a tad spicy. The portions are large and well worth the money. If in the area again, I would definitely go back.“

“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.“

“I love the ceviche ! & shrimp cocktail!“

“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!“

“My favorite for fried shrimp!“

“Best place to purchase fresh fish. Oh, and don't let the crowd fool you those fishermen and cashier will get you out of there very, very quickly. I love shopping at Market Fisheries on 71st and State. Thanks Market Fisheries for serving me and my family. Thank You la“

“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!“

“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.“

“muy buen servicio y la comida muy buena“

“This is a review. I meant to write over a week ago.The food at the DiCola‘s is always excellent. The people are friendly and courteous. However, I want to specifically highlight a young man by the name of Dominick. I can’t say enough about Dominick. He possesses exemplary customer service skills. Every encounter I have had with him, he has been very courteous, very professional, very engaging and above all has gone the extra mile to accommodate my “special requests“. In addition, my most recent encounter, approximately two weeks ago, I could see the absolute joy he received when seeing how happy I was when he was, once again, able to Grant a special request for me. You just don’t see this level of customer service in the fast food industry. There just aren’t enough adjectives which adequately express how great of a representative Dominick is for DiCola’s.“

“I traveled to the restaurant to have lunch and got the opportunity to meet my server, Tiffany. She was wonderful at her job, her suggestion for a meal helped me to make a decision as I was looking over the menu. I thanked her and appreciate everything she did to make this lunch worth the drive there. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate you Tiffany!“

“Very good food and drinks. Great vibe for date night 💙“

“I am not notable, so my opinion may be of little consideration for most. This stated, the pancakes I've had here rival some of the best I have ever tasted. This is without mentioning the Chorizo, the eggs, and their choice of spices and peppers. The food here as of this date 6/30/26, is some of the best food I have had.“

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

“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“

“Whenever we’re in the area we go there. I like the shrimp and pizza. My wife likes the chicken. The prices are good. And so is the service.“

“Does anyone know if there still open im craving some seafood mariscos aguachiles ceviche etc 😫🤰🏻“

“The catfish was fresh, hot, cooked to perfection and delicious, great customer service!! 😋 I will be returning.👍🏽
The 5 star reviews drew me to this location. I had to drive a distance, but it was worth the trip. all other shark locations near me are horrible (2 to be exact)“

“Visited from STL and this time the owner was there. Very chill laid back good time. This particular night they had karaoke, which was fun. The bartenders are friendly and know how to pour. Shavon kept the drinks coming! The owner is hands on, friendly professional and made sure to show us out of towners hospitality. After a few dances and drinks we ordered food to go. This spot is always on a list even if it’s a short visit. Stop by for a mature crowd and a good time.“

“The food is delicious!!!!“

“This is by far the best JJ Fish in the city of Chicago!! The food is consistently fresh, and the staff is welcoming. I also came in to place an order on Super Bowl. Although it was busy and wait times for some were longer than usual… the staff maintained professionalism and supported customers as quickly as possible. I’d recommend this location to anyone!“

“El ceviche mitotero esta delicious y su nieve tostada esta de lujo!!“

“Deliciosa comida muy bien servicio 🦐🦐🦐“

“First time. My wife order the El G- Fe bolsita and I ordered the double Hawaiian hamburger. We dont drink so we order the agua de jamaica. Everything was flavorful. Service was fast and friendly. A lot of people go for the alcohol drink specials so it can get a little loud other than that we will definitely be going back to try their seafood platters.“

“EXPEDITIOUSLY 🔥..........“

“I came back to this restaurant for the second time yesterday and it definitely did not disappoint 😍🦀 The food tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I ordered the snow crab legs with red sauce and they were absolutely amazing 🔥🍽️ Even the leftovers I brought home still tasted delicious the next day 😋 That says a lot about the quality! The whole experience was great, and I highly recommend giving this place a try because you’ll probably love it too 🙌✨“

“Amazing food, great service!“

“Fabuloso el servicio y la comida tiene un excelente sabor en sus platillos. Definitivamente recomendable para comer con la familia.“

“I've been going here since 2000. They've changed ownership since then but I still enjoy going here. Food is always made fresh as you order. After a certain time I'd evening only the drive thru is available for service but that's fine, still the food is great.“

“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!“

“Totally awesome I would recommend this place to every one. Just had lake perch melted in my mouth.“

“Comida excelente!!! Atención excelente!!! Y el ambiente excelente recomendado 100%“

“Food is flavorful. I loved the langostinos and the michelada. The restaurant layout is nice and spacious. It has a bar in the middle. However, this location is fairly new so you won't see many people here yet, so don't be discouraged to try out this place. We barely discovered it and it's so close to us! It's been open since January 2025.“

“The tacos are small, authentic and delicious. Good enough for me to order two to go. Except they didnt make my to-go tacos the same. It had too much cheese. The host/bartender/waitress did not speak English and most of the food on the menu didnt exist. I wanted chicken quesadillas and she shook her head no. I wasn't sure if she didn't have chicken quesadillas or no quesadillas at all. I asked about other items on the menu and she smiled and frowned at the same time. So I ordered chicken tacos to simplify things. It took a lot to get her attention. She gravitated to the guys in my party. Little did she know, they weren't paying or tipping. The classic margarita with the red margarita salt was delicious. Lastly, there was a couple dinning at a table near by filming me and my friends. I'll be fine if I don't revisit this restaurant.“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“
