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

“Wonderful experience at Oliver’s! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a great night out. One of my favorite parts was being able to see into the kitchen from our table and watch the chefs at work, it added such a special touch to the evening and gave us an appreciation for the care that goes into every dish.

The food was exceptional, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. We followed Sam’s recommendations, and she absolutely delivered, every dish was outstanding. Sam was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel effortless. Between the incredible food, welcoming ambiance, and the chance to watch the culinary team in action, Oliver’s provided a truly memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to return. 🤍“

We highly recommend Lena Brava for anyone that is looking for a venue to host their rehearsal dinner!“

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

“I was introduced to Half Shall about 9 years ago. I must admit hands down the best King Crab Legs I've had in a long time. Let's talk about the Catfish/Jumbo Fried Shrimp. Lord have mercy on me! Very good, very good, very good. The cocktails are not bad either. I've brought family members from the DC location and they absolutely loved the food. I've never encountered a bad waitress or poor customer service. The perfect little GEM in the neighborhood.“

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

“BEST SEAFOOD BOIL IN THE CITY

and I mean it. I’ve tried more than my fair share of seafood boils in the Chicagoland area. I must say, there is always something that makes or breaks the meal. Whether it’s the vibe. The freshness and quality of the seafood. Or the biggest factor for me, the price.

Oh my Crab definitely blew all of my expectations out of the water. The seafood boil was fresh and flavorful. The hush puppies came with a very intriguing sauce, one that makes you want to come back the next day for more. Each of the servers were very nice, treat my friend and I with kindness.

Overall I would rate this a 10/10 seafood boils spot ! Definitely worth it if you’re looking to satisfy your boil cravings without breaking the bank!!“

“Everything is awesome and delicious !!👏“

“This was my first time here, and I had a great experience! The food was delicious, and the service was absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“Where do you go for dinner if you (regrettably) only have one night in Chicago? Gibson’s Italia, of course! From our first drink at the bar to our stunning riverfront table for dinner, everything was simply spectacular! We started by sharing the Arancini Cacio E Pepe and the Cacio E Pepe before savoring my filet mignon and her New York strip steak with sides of Brussels sprouts and handmade fries, topped off with an flaming baked Alaska! Destinee was the perfect attentive server who never rushed and gave us space to enjoy, and maître d’ Patrick and Manager Andrew added their personal touch and attention as well! I may never be hungry again, and my memories of the perfect night in Chicago will live on!“

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

“The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors," "The service was outstanding - our waiter was attentive and made great recommendations," "The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion," "This hidden gem exceeded all expectations, we'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Over the top food quality and service“

“Great food, ambiance and service. 👍“

“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!“

“We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday last night. The service was great and the food was perfect. If we ever come back to town this will be a must do. We weren’t sure what to expect since his brother planned the dinner but I couldn’t have asked for anything better.“

“Flight Club Chicago proves that a specialty game bar can be both polished and genuinely entertaining without losing its soul to novelty. On a first visit—prompted by a recommendation rooted in the brand’s London flagship—the experience was not only memorable but convincingly repeat-worthy. Accessibility matters, especially for suburban visitors, and Flight Club immediately scores points here: parking is refreshingly easy, located right next door, eliminating the usual downtown friction. Reservations were honored promptly, and our group was smoothly guided to a dedicated darts area that felt private without being isolated. The true star, of course, is the darts. Flight Club elevates the classic pub game into a modern, social experience with a range of digital formats that scale beautifully for both casual players and competitive types. For our group of six, the games struck the ideal balance—engaging, intuitive, and laugh-out-loud fun—making it easy for everyone to participate regardless of skill level. Too often, game-focused venues treat food and service as afterthoughts. Not here. The menu is thoughtfully executed, the food genuinely good, and the service attentive without hovering—exactly what you want when the evening is built around shared experience rather than formal dining. The ambiance ties everything together. Stylish but warm, energetic yet controlled, the space feels purpose-built for connection. Add in excellent sightlines to the Riverwalk, and Flight Club manages to feel distinctly Chicago while retaining the sophistication of its international pedigree. The verdict: Flight Club Chicago is more than a novelty—it’s a well-run, highly enjoyable destination that succeeds on multiple levels. For groups looking for an interactive night out in the city, with strong food, seamless service, and a setting that encourages fun without chaos, this is an easy recommendation.“

“Really good and fresh sushi at great prices. Love this place.“

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

“Highly recommend Azul Mariscos. Loved the atmosphere, good drinks & food was good too. The staff was amazing, especially Ruben. Will definitely be back just for his service ❤️✅“

“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.“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“We go a few times a year between Schaumburg and downtown Chicago. We love the food and the service. Keep up the stellar work!“

“Natalia, our server, was incredible. She was able to handle our hectic table of 7 with ease. The food was to die for! Some tables are down a set of stairs so make sure to request upstairs if you’re not able to manage that arrangement. Vibes were pristine, 10/10 would recommend. Amazing date spot or family night out, friends in town or just a cheeky night on the town. Prices are worth it!“

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in the city. The food is unreal good I mean like go out for milk and never come back good. The head partner chef Joe Rizza is a Jedi in the kitchen and an absolute class act. He always makes time to come say hi when we stop in. Main reason why I like going. Besides the fact that the prices r normal but the food is anything but. #amazing love the location love the vibe u have to go“

“We had a great dining experience. The food was delicious—we ordered the crab and the filet mignon, and both were perfectly prepared. The cocktails were excellent, and the dessert was absolutely delicious, making for a perfect ending to the meal. To be completely honest, the oysters were the only disappointment. We tried both the East Coast and West Coast oysters, but neither was to our taste. We also didn't really enjoy the sauces that came with them. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back for the outstanding food, great cocktails, and amazing desserts.“

“I absolutely loved this place. Service was excellent and food was even better. I came here on the recommendation of a friend and this will be my go to place every time I’m back in town. Love the vibe here also.“

“My Granddaughter 16th Birthday, 12/ 20/2025 The Food Was Absolutely The Best💥💥💥 We Had: Burgers, Salmon, Mashed Potatoes Jerk Chicken, Chicken Alfredo, barbeque Wings. Mmm So Very Delicious 😋 The Staff, PHENOMENAL“

“It's amazing they have big portions, and they tastes amazing. I am very surprised thair the place isn't bigger than it is. I truly think that they have big potential. 😀“

“This place has great food. Went for Retirement Party. Food delicious and drinks made to perfection. Make sure you try catfish….yummy😊“

“Fun spot. Great food & drinks. I advise against sitting near the window during dinner though (bugs).“

“Fast and friendly service. Delicious food.“
