Seafood Restaurants near Chicago Ridge

“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.“

“I was genuinely impressed by everything at this restaurant. A coworker recommended it, so I came for weeknight dinner. The food is packed with authentic, wonderful flavors. Drinks are well‑crafted and refreshing. Servers are knowledgeable and quick to respond to requests. The environment is clean, modern and relaxing. There was no long wait even though the place was nearly full. Every course tasted amazing. If you are searching for reliable, tasty local food, you should absolutely make a reservation here.“

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

“Mannnnn when I tell you the best experience by far! The Bartender was amazing the drinks was made impeccable! We went today around lunchtime and we also had a great lady waitress she was amazing as well,Gave us information on the food we was ordering…..And I’ve been a Chef for well over 15 years! And I was very impressed! Photos in the comments 😆“

“Excellent in all areas! The risotto special was perfect and filling. The butternut squash ravioli in cream sauce was so tasty. Our waitress , Alex explained all the dishes expertly. She was so friendly and made us laugh. Sitting outside was very relaxing and we felt like we were on vacation. We will be back soon. Bell Simon!“

“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.“

“The food and ambience of this restaurant is amazing. Low key. Great restaurant all the way around. I will be back.“

“Love, love, love this place. The food, the atmosphere, the good looking crew, man! My first experience was to celebrate my daughter's birthday in August, the next was a birthday celebration for my sister, and God willing, I will celebrate my birthday in May. But trust, I will not wait until my birthday to go, mainly because I don't live in Illinois, but because I frequent this state, Al Bahaar is on my list of stops & I encourage family and friends to join me! Great job!“

“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.“

“The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry was an amazing experience with something memorable around every corner. The Spider-Man exhibit was a lot of fun, and the storm and airplane simulations made the science feel hands-on, exciting, and real.

The human specimen exhibition was not something I am into but it is interesting.

Another major highlight was walking through the full-sized United Airlines Boeing 727. It was especially meaningful to learn that the aircraft honors Captain William Norwood, United’s first Black pilot, and reflects the important legacy of Black achievement and representation in aviation. We visited during a Black pilots convention in August, along with a pilot there for the conference, which made that connection even more powerful and inspiring.

This museum blends interactive science, history, innovation, and powerful stories in a way that keeps visitors engaged. Definitely a five-star visit and well worth the time.“

“More than enough for you to eat, food was definitely on point. Good customer service to all customers who comes into the establishment.“

The lady that served us ( Griselda ),was very friendly and professional. Excellent recommendation for the dishes. Also she recommended to visit during the week for the happy hour on drinks. The staff was very professional. A must come back place.“

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“

“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!“

“su deliciosa comida y buenos precios“

“Best Chicken and Fish you will ever eat. VERY reasonable prices. Family owned“

“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.“

“Deliciosa comida muy bien servicio 🦐🦐🦐“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Wow the Ribs were delicious and the pasta and the waitress was friendly and great i would recommend this place and the dessert and coffee were superb“

“We have been lucky to attend this hall on multiple occasions from a production company standpoint. The hall is not the best for sound reinforcement as you will need a separate rig pointed to where the main entrance is to ensure you will have even coverage for all patrons. However, it is a minor detail that with the right professional shouldn't be a problem. The catering was very good and the space looked very nice. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice event space.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best place you can go for mariscos. Great prices. The only thing I wished was that they opened a second location maybe closer to the southwest suburbs because we have nothing out here. This place would hit amazing! But anytime I’m in the city I ALWAYS stop by. Their langostinos, shrimp, ceviche , agua chiles etc all taste good. And that small little cup they give you at the entrance with the shrimp and caldo ALWAYS hits the spot. Come open a location in OAKLAWN PLEASEEEE“

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

“deliciosa comida 100 % recomendable muchas gracias por sus atenciones famila !!!!“

“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)“

“Chicken fried rice, extra dark, extra spicy. Flame. � � �.“

“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 🙌✨“
