50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Cicero

“I went for some tamales, they were really good, I also had some sopes, I was really pleased with the flavor of my sopes, they were delicious. I had take out, and the wait for my food was not long it all. The cashier was very nice, she even let me had a taste of their champurrado. I will be back. I recommend this place.“

“Excelente comida y servicio“

“Food was very good, margaritas were strong, server was attentive, and restaurant was clean. However, I do want to clarify a few things:

- If you’re white and can’t handle spice very well, this likely isn’t the place for you. This is NOT the Americanized Tex mex food from your local Mexican joint you’re likely used to. It’s a more authentic, spiced up kind of food, though still good.

- if you’re expecting the “liquidy” kind of queso for tortilla chips, you won’t get that here. It’s more of a melted mozzarella/ oaxaqueña cheese that you eat with soft flour tortillas.

- first order of chips and salsa is free, subsequent orders are $2 extra.

Overall, pretty good spot, we left satisfied and happy! Portions are extremely generous“

“I recommend the buffalo shrimp with the waffle potatoe fries 👌“

“Great experience from the moment you walk on the door. The staff is very welcoming. The bar is a great place to start or even enjoy a meal. The main dinning area is expansive which can add a bit of noise but didn't hold back our conversation.
The food menu is delightful and offers enough choice. The starters are shareable and the bread is fantastic. Personal I had the American Wagyu and mushrooms - classic and outstanding.
Great beverage and the wine list.
Definitely a South Loop gem!“

“Atmosphere and service were on point! A must go to when in Chicago“

“Brenna was amazing. The food was the second best part to her service“

“The best crab cakes I’ve had. Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic!! Absolutely recommend this all day, every day!“

“Everything is awesome and delicious !!👏“

“Oh My Crab is a must-visit for any seafood lover! The food is absolutely delicious—the Cajun seafood boils are packed with flavor, and the garlic noodles are a standout. Everything from the snow crab to the shrimp is fresh and cooked to perfection.
Beyond the food, the service is excellent; the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The restaurant itself is impressively clean and well-maintained, including the facilities, which makes for a very comfortable dining environment. Whether you're there for a family night or a casual hangout, it's a 10/10 experience!“

“Great food, amazing ambiance and incredible staff. One of the nicest Chicago steakhouses I’ve been to. Highly recommend.“

“My good friend Lisa took me there and it tasted great! Service is also great“

“The food and experience were both amazing. We started off with the Florida Stone crab and Madagascar shrimp. Both were delicious. My boyfriend got the 12 ounce filet and I got the seafood platter (with lobster, scallops, and shrimp). We shared the sides jennie’s mashed potatoes and lobster macaroni and cheese (a lot of lobster in it)! The steak was the best he’s ever had. Both sides were delicious. My lobster and shrimp were the best ever and scallops good too. We ended with banana crème pie and espresso martinis which were also amazing. Servers very attentive. They brought wet rags after each messy appetizer. Great atmosphere and perfect for a romantic date. Best meal ever. Definitely recommend!“

“I love the Lobster roll so yummy! Worth every penny!“

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕“

“The food did not miss!!

Came to BROWN bag seafood for a quick bite before checking into my hotel. Inquired with the host about food recommendations. She recommended the lobster roll or the fish and chips. Giving such a great description of the lobster roll I went with it. I was not disappointed. The tater tots were cooked to perfection and the lobster roll was delicious. Definitely try some of the boss sauce as well! Even left with some Swedish fish!

I will definitely be back.“

“Top notch service, drinks were phenomenal, and the food simply EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for the VIP treatment on my Anniversary! You peeps are amazing!“

“Every was A1, from the hospitality to the Food My daughter might say something like it’s "bussin Bussin" 😂“

“The most amazing seafood rolls on the planet. Convenient and delicious. Anytime you're looking to treat yourself WHILE AT WORK, Luke's is a great place to duck in and pick up food or sit down and eat with such fast service from the lobster team“

“I went here first time and I was so impressed. Great good. I ordered fish n chips and they brought out malt vinegar even without me asking. We ordered salmon platter. It was phenomenal. Wow. Definitely recommend this place 10/10“

“shrimp is huge and it's cooked to order so worth the wait. I used to live in Chicago, now I live in Orlando Florida and came all the way here for the shrimp...absolutely good!!“

“I love the Lobster roll so yummy! Worth every penny!“

“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.“

“incredible dining experience! Their black sauce ceviche was so fresh and with great flavor! And the langostinos? Absolutely delicious! If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Last but not least THE TAMARINDO MARGARITA on the rocksssss 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Can’t wait to go back! #FiveStars #DeliciousEats“

“This is one of our favorite spots. Beautiful atmosphere. Food is always cooked to perfection. Our server Roger was attentive, friendly and efficient. Steaks, salmon, shrimp, crab all fresh and delicious. Appreciate manager Blake stopping by to ensure our evening was up to par. Already looking forward to our next visit. It's also a great idea to stop at the bar for after dinner drinks. Chris made everything we ordered perfect!“

“I love the shrimp, always fresh and very delicious every time!“

“Had a great birthday dinner here. The staff went above and beyond to make it special including helping pull off a surprise floral arrangement. The food was incredible and we are still talking about the pork, steak and salsa matcha. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Samantha and team.“

“Cannot recommend this team and Brown Bag location enough. Nesha, Tristan, Ari, and Niyah are all-stars. Everyone is so warm every time we come in. 😊“

“The food (lobster roll), customer service, and environment is a 10/10!! This is my 3rd time coming to brown bag seafood and each time it amazes me how kind each worker is. The short conversations, the free candy, and the great playlist they have is truly welcoming. Love love love!“

“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.“

“Celebrated my birthday here and had a wonderful time! Great food, and really enjoy the Cosmopolitan martini! 🍸 I had the Branzino. All delicious! Recommend!👍🏽“

“Amazing food, great hosts and amazing service!!“

“My first time here and I liked it“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“I went for a friends graduation brunch, and it was definitely a hopping spot in the city, and I can see the appeal for the rooftop views alone, but I think it’s a bit overpriced for what you’re getting in my opinion. I had the biscuits and gravy ($25) which was fine but also strange in that it tasted more like a chowder than gravy. I also got the chocolate chip cookies which were and came in an order of 3 for $12. As I said, a bit overpriced for cookies, but actually felt worth it for their size and deliciousness. Of course, part of why you’re coming here is for the views and this place did not disappoint! Despite it being a very hot day outside, there was a good crowd out there especially because there’s a bar on the patio as well. And even though it was very busy throughout the entire time there, my party and I had fairly consistent service, although I did have my drink order forgotten, but the server ended up comping me for it, which made up for it.“

“Came and sat at the bar with a friend and was greeted by Desi. She was very polite and attentive. She recommended getting one of the famous daiquiris and the catfish dinner. Everything came out good. Food was delicious. I will be back!“

“La mejor comida de mar que he probado 😋😋😋..y el servicio no se diga, excelente … 100% recomendado“

“muy buena comida muy bien n a atención y karaoke de jueves a domingo“

“Hands down one of the best restaurants in Chicago. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every dish is so flavorful and on point but Elia does it so gracefully! Amazing atmosphere and great service - Ebrar made our dinner experience so enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I absolutely love BB seafood! I use to go to the one on Randolph, but I no longer work in the city so today I took the Metra to the one that’s just a 5 minute walk from the OTC station and this location did not disappoint. I love their veggie blend, the juice that they put on it makes it a 10/10 & it’s honestly the reason I come here. I usually get the salmon with the veggie blend but today I tried the grains and I was not a fan, so Kim and Jose made it right. Kim is so pleasant, attentive and had great customer service. I can see why Jose won the “extra mile” award, he remade my meal which was totally unexpected but very much appreciated and him going the extra mile for me means I’ll keep going the extra miles on the Metra for my Brown Bag. Jose was very personable, kind and helpful. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: Greens, grains etc, they have lots of veggie only options.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to get here from the sidewalk and they have a double doors.“
