About South Side Shrimp

South Side Shrimp offers a unique experience with their Chicago style shrimp, known for its spicy kick. The owner's attention to detail and customer service remains impressive, providing options for personalized cooking preferences and accommodating food allergies. The deep-fried cauliflower continues to be a surprising favorite among the sides. Many customers have noted the great customer service and even better food. Though a bit pricey, the portions are generous, often enough for multiple people. While there are no combos or included fries, the fresh battered and fried fish is served quickly, typically within about five minutes, and comes out perfectly dry. The oil used is clean, enhancing the overall flavor. They offer a selection of homemade sauces, including BBQ, hot sauce, and mild sauce, although some customers miss the tartar sauce found elsewhere. The ambiance has improved, creating a more pleasant dining environment. Parking is limited but manageable, especially during off-peak hours. Overall, South Side Shrimp is highly recommended for those seeking flavorful shrimp dishes and attentive service, with many declaring it the best shrimp in Chicago.

To make things even richer, we received a call the next day on our MOBILE PHONE from this employee who proceeded to taunt and harass us....read full review

First time trying this place and I was blown away. The Chicago style shrimp were amazing and the deep fried cauliflower was the sleeper hit of the sides. William was amazing with answering questions and when I mentioned a food allergy in the party he immediately went in back to grab to item I was concerned about to let me check the ingredients myself. That kind of customer service is rare and appreciated. We will be back...after the food coma. I ate way too much but it was SO...read full review
