50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Carol Stream

“My Wife and I came here while we were in the area. Absolutely delicious and fresh seafood. Will definitely come back to the area to try more items on the menu!“

“Our meal was fresh and delicious!! Staff were friendly and efficient. Definitely a feast for the eyes and soooo tasty!!! Highly recommend Lili Sushi -Thank you for a fantastic meal for our birthday celebration!“

“We were here Friday night and had the most amazing experience! Our server (Umara?) was FABULOUS and the other wait staff was so on top of the water, bread, boxes for our food, etc. Everyone was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in the door. We got an appetizer of toasted ravioli with the pesto sauce (soo delicious!!) m, my husband got the ribeye vesuvio and said it was amazing, and I got the Cappelini Caprese (I think that’s what it was called)- the flavor was AMAZING and the portion sizes are huge! Entrees come with bread and soup or salad. The desserts all looked delicious but we opted for carrot cake to-go and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!“

“I hardly ever see any Brown's chicken restaurants anymore, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to risk narrowly causing a minor accident just to swerve through several lanes of traffic to make a quick detour here. I placed my order through the drive-thru, and after a bit of a wait, I received my food. Had a long commute home, but the chicken was still warm and crunchy when I arrived.

I ordered the 8pc meal with 3 large sides (corn fritters, mashed potatoes and gravy, and stuffing) and a 1/2lb of chicken livers. Starting off with the fried chicken, the batter and skin were phenomenally crunchy and well-seasoned, and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The seasoning and batter mix were on the milder side but still present on the palette and not overwhelming, which I prefer over the aggressive seasoning some other fried chicken locations use. The chicken livers were out of this world. Chef's kiss. A+. Crunchy breading on the outside, and rich, creamy, vaguely minerally, soft, and perfectly cooked liver on the inside. Once again, beautifully seasoned.

The mashed potatoes were flavorless and tasted like it came from a poorly-funded high school cafeteria, but the gravy made up for it with its bit of saltiness and umami subtlety to complement the blandness of the mashed potatoes. The stuffing was compact and dense. Although not quite so visually appealing, it was decent enough. It was pretty generic in terms of flavor and dour when it comes to presentation, but it was also elevated, yet again, by a bit of the gravy poured over it.

The corn fritters were interesting, and I mean that in a good way. It's basically a hush puppy with powdered sugar sprinkled over it. I have never had a corn fritter prior to today and was pleasantly surprised by its deep-fried, corny goodness. Crunchy with a faintly sweet exterior and a slightly moist and mealy internal texture with bits of whole corn kernels spread around. Gonna have to give that a try with the gravy, as well.

Overall, the food was good. It brought back some fond memories. Had me feeling nostalgic afterward since it's been so long since I've last eaten Brown's Chicken, which was when I was just a wee Puppers, and am now a middle-aged Werewolf, so that was quite nice. Thanks for the good food, good service, and the fun trip down memory lane! I'll definitely be paying another visit. Cheers!

Vegetarian options: Probably not the place to go to for vegetarian options unless you're OK with the corn fritters, fries, mac-n-cheese, and mashed potatoes.

Dietary restrictions: I'd call ahead and confirm with them about any food allergens and any halal or gluten-free options.

Parking: It's a small location, but there are several spots on either side of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't love fried chicken?

Wheelchair accessibility: The doors appeared to be wide enough to accommodate an assisted mobility advice. I did not notice an automatic door function.“

“Incredible dining experience! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere draws you in. The food, especially the langostinos and mehillines left us smiling throughout the meal. The staff was not only friendly but also added to the warmth of the place. A must-visit for anyone looking for fantastic food and a delightful ambiance!“

“Wonderful Old School Good portions Owner makes you feel like you’re part of his family Attentive, waiters and waitresses We love it there“

“I ordered, Mariscada for 3 people. It was so good, I finished it and still wanted more. And camarones Kora. Since I live quite far, I got botana pirraya fria to go as well. Can't wait to dig in. Definitely, a hidden gem. Check it out when you get a chance.“

“First time stopping at Bs Shrimp & Fish after driving by the area and seeing this new spot had opened up. I tried their shrimp, corn fritters, onion rings and spaghetti. Everything was bursting with flavor, the shrimp tasted very fresh. They make their own homemade sauces and what a bonus to find they carry other options like wings tenders, desserts, mac n cheese and much more. So glad to know we now have this jem in the neighborhood. I will be a returning customer for sure!“

“The service and food was amazing.“

“Two GREAT employees last night! First is Claude. Made a surprise rum drink from scratch and served it himself. Could not have asked for a better cocktail. Second is Andrew. Very thoughtful and was right there for everything with suggestions and service. They made for a very GREAT time.“

“Isa really nice place to eat for lunch and specially dinner they have good service .“

“My family and I went to celebrate my son-in-law's birthday. There was an event going on in the back, which caused the service to be a little slower than I would've. We got there at 7 PM. we were set down immediately by a very cordial host. The server was extremely accommodating and kind, but the bar was a little slow in serving it drinks so it took us 40 minutes to get our drinks. I ordered the Seabass and was very disappointed. It was very bland. The rest of the family enjoyed their meal. There was also dripping from and vent above our table, so we had to move our table to the side. We really liked Darius our server and we don't blame him. Perhaps if they had been such a big event service would've been quicker and the food and drinks would've been served faster“

“We dined at Seasons 52 to celebrate both our 50th wedding anniversary and my birthday. We requested and were seated in a booth in the main dining room. Our waiter Gani Keyifli was amazing. When he heard our reasons for celebrating he brought two little signs for the table. One saying Happy Birthday and one saying Happy Anniversary along with two cards for the occasions. Gani made excellent menu recommendations. The ahi tuna tartare, chicken pesto mozerrella flatbread, wood fire grilled filets and martinis were delicious. Gani surprised us with a indulgent dessert too. He made the evening special. Thanks Seasons 52 for an excellent dinner and experience. I can't wait to return for a lunch or happy hour soon!“

“I have become regulars at Red Lobster and for good reason! The service is consistently fantastic – friendly, attentive, and they never leave you waiting to be seated. Plus, with ample parking available, it's a breeze to get in and out.

Now, onto the star of the show: the food! They excel at all things seafood, and my personal favorites are the succulent shrimp and the decadent lobster. The side dishes are on point too, with the fluffy mashed potatoes being a must-try. For a refreshing non-alcoholic option, their mock mojito is a delicious choice.

Overall, Red Lobster is a reliable and delightful spot for a satisfying seafood meal. Highly recommended!“

“The food is delicious and great customer service ! We will definitely be back!“

“I thought the food would have been tastier, it was just ok..I had the shrimp bowl“

“I’ve been to Capital Grille in other cities but this is my favorite location to date. We went for our anniversary last night and had a fabulous experience. Our steaks were perfectly prepared along with our calamari and soups. The anniversary desert at the end made it that much better. What we really loved was the staff from the hostess down to our server Veronica. We never felt rushed and she was very personable from start to finish. Also thank you to the manager, Sarah, for stopping by to chat with us a couple times. Again thank you for a wonderful night and see you all next time!“

“Awesome service and great food for reasonable price!“

“Crab cakes, walleye and beet salad were all very good! Our waiter, Jace, was very attentive.“

“For the Halal/Haram police: we came here and found out they use wine/sake in the sushi rice to make sushi and the fried tempura like shrimp items are also cooked in the same oil so cross contamination happens. BUT the owner/lady in the front was amazing!!! She made sure we got our sushi with white rice that had no alcohol in it. She also made sure that the shrimp or any other item that was fried in oil was changed to steam shrimp or for example any sushi that is fried was changed to non-fried items. She also made sure there was no alcohol in the wasabi sauce or any other sauce that had wine in it she did not put on our sushi. She also informed us that there is sake / wine in miso soup and stopped us from taking that. I will 100% return back to this location because of how amazing and caring the employees were. They respected our choice of not having any items that has alcohol in it and made the sushi to our preference. Thank you!!“

“I hve to give it to chef I will tip my soxs hat to this any day of the week especially fridays“

“why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn't available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn't what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch...with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That's the first and last time I come in.“

I can't say enough how great the food is. Best Mexican Restaurant in all of the Suburbs of Illinois. It deserves 5 Stars and even more! Love it there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One Word! FANTASTIC MENU ITEMS. Delicious daily specials & a chef that knows her stuff. Food served hot and prepared to your liking. We here chef just bought this resturant and is the current owner & madter chef! A classic wine listing that "pars" perfectly with her food creations. And those budget people watching the price, small plates available. Well Done 1913 Restaurant! Also great outdoor seating...shaded & nice out front.

Parking: Plenty of free street parking...no problem.“

“I’d never heard of Poke until about six months ago. That being said, I went out on a limb and tried Poke Ono. It’s incredible. The food is fresh and delicious. I’m obsessed- do yourself a favor, and give this place a go!“

“Some of the most delicious and comforting Thai food in the area! So much depth of flavor, perfect cook on rice and noodles, and the curries are some of the best I’ve ever had!“

“Great place for brunch , Bang bang combo is good , great portions too though for the vegetable very bland the rest are great . . Very friendly staff too .“

“We had dinner there last night to celebrate a special occasion. So much on the menu to choose from, and everything was excellent! Calamari is hard to do right, but they did it right. Fried zucchini. pork chops, meat balls, dolmades, spinach pie, and more.... Will definitely be back!“

“Food is top quality and fresh ingredients. Complimentary variety bon chon is nice too. Food served quickly and piping hot. Seafood pancake was extra crispy and the accompanying sauce was really tasty. Beef Ba bibimbop was good but could have been better if the stone was hotter or the use of more sesame oil on the bottom for the rice to crisp up. The quantity of beef should have been a bit more in the dishes. If you want the fried egg on top just let them know when ordering.
Buckwheat tea was also brewed and made well with the kettle on the table vs asking for more.
The beef and kimchi soup was excellent. The kimchi was a little tangy and sour that made it taste that much more delicious!

It was very busy for lunch and all the dishes that came out looked very appetizing. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and the ambience was nice. Take out containers are provided. Carryout galore going out the door and were packed neatly.

All in all, this is a nice place to dine in, relax and have a delicious authentic Korean meal!“
