Some of the best fried seafood and great service. From the time you order all the way until pickup. I always get the fish and chips with regular shrimp. Not overly battered , not greasy fresh and delicious! A must try for sure

I've tried them before. and i liked it. So this time I tried other things on the menu which surprisingly meets my expectations. Food arrived crispy as it should. Fried scallops , fried smelts , coleslaw and macaroni YUMMY !
Shrimp Island is a legit spot for fried seafood in the city. I hit them up for lunch and grabbed the 1/2 lb fried jumbo shrimp combo with fries and coleslaw. The shrimp were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Fries were hot and salty, and the coleslaw was creamy without being too heavy. Plus, the homemade sauce? A must-try—it adds a nice kick to everything. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was fresh and hot when I got it. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

This place is fantastic the food is always made to order, so it’s super fresh every time. Nothing sits around, whether you get shrimp, catfish, or a side. That freshness really stands out compared to other places.
If you order ahead, just be honest about your arrival time. They start cooking based on when you say you’ll get there, so if you say five minutes but actually take ten, your food might not be as fresh. They really care about quality and want your meal even the fries to be hot and ready when you arrive. Their commitment to freshness is a big reason I keep coming back.

Hit up Shrimp Island on Grand Ave and grabbed a 1/2 lb of fried jumbo shrimp and some fries. Shrimp was crispy and seasoned just right, and the fries were solid. The homemade sauce added a nice kick. Place is no-frills, but they get the job done. Spent around $15, and left satisfied. Only knock is the wait time during peak hours, but it's worth it.
Many years ago we used to frequent Goose Island whenever we were in the city. When I heard that shrimp Island’s owner used to be the cook there, I knew I had to check this place out and it did not disappoint. One bite of the shrimp brought back so many fond memories. We had the Jumbo shrimp, Catfish nuggets and mushrooms. Everything was absolutely delicious. We have to drive from Oak Brook to get to this place, but it is well worth the ride and we’ll definitely be back!

Stopped by Shrimp Island to grab dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Service was quick and professional. Restaurant was very clean. The food was hot (even after a ride home), and taste was very good. Mild sauce was delicious.
However, the reason I came to write this review….look how big their (jumbo) shrimp are!!!! Wowzer.

The breading would be better if it was thinner.
Too much breading add some water!
