When I was done I literally went back a couple hours later before leaving the state to grab more lol. The lady at the counter was so kind and had me laughing so hard for coming back. I will definitely return when back in town.“

“We have Been at Theo’s at least 20 times in the last 3 years. The first time was the best and last night was the last. Food was a lot better 3 years ago. The staff seemed like they cared about you buying the right or the best value, Last night we were ripped off. David was our server. Telling how great the specials were with out telling us the price. My wife wanted seafood not steak. So we ordered her the seafood crab legs, lobster tail and shrimp. Crab legs tasted like they were frozen for a long time, the lobster was Tuff. Shrimp was good in garlic butter. I had a steak. With mushrooms. Do your self a favor ask what the price for any specials . DON’T BUY ANYTHING WITHOUT KNOWING THE PRICE. SeaFood Special $175.66 Who the hell charges this for a pound of crab legs and a lobster tail? Never again! Buyer beware!“

“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.“

“My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. The owner was very welcoming and down to earth as well as the staff. The food was excellent! The owner also made an announcement that it was our anniversary and played the song It's Our Anniversary. I highly recommend this establishment!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“My favorite for fried shrimp!“

“Our meal was delicious, server, Alex, was attentive and helpful, a pleasant dining experience“

“Lovely staff. Customer service was amazing, but this food?? My god the tastes was majestic! Those Hennessy wings was busssssin!! Legit had nothing like it! Them benais literally were some of the best I’ve had in my 31 years on this planet! 11/10.“

“8 Piece Buffalo Wings and Fries.... FIRE!!! Nice staff, food only took 15 minutes, and came out piping hot, crispy, and delicious. The coleslaw was a nice balance to a great buffalo sauce. Large amount of food for the price. Next time I stop in the area, would probably order the exact same thing.“

“Tried the Oak Park location on a Wednesday night. It was FANTASTIC! I got a pound of Alaskan King crab legs, and while they didn’t come with crab crackers, we only had a little trouble breaking the meat out. Phenomenal crab legs. They came with perfectly seasoned red potatoes and corn on the cob. My partner ordered (fried) shrimp tacos and could not stop raving about them. The shrimp was very fresh. We also ordered fresh cut fries and they were outstanding, though they could use a bit more seasoning. But extra seasoning was brought upon request. The owner, Shawn, brought out the food, was attentive to our needs, and even struck up a friendly conversation as we left. Fantastic decor/theme, friendly staff and exceptional service! 10/10, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great dinner! Two dinners, since I had leftovers!“

“Checked out Mariscos El Veneno in West Lawn—spent around $30 on camaron sarandeados, spicy crab, and BYOB michelada setup. Seafood flavors were solid and portions were hearty. Cozy spot with ocean-blue walls and live music—got a bit loud, but adds to the vibe. Staff brought a complimentary ceviche tostada, which was a nice touch. Overall a fun night, would totally go back.“

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

“The best fried shrimp ever. It's worth the drive, and the wait. The jumbo shrimp are good. I always buy the ex-large ones. The cheese & macaroni salad is delicious. Their mild sauce goes great with the shrimp. If you want a little spice, get the hot one and mix them up. I always get a pound of shrimp so I will have some now, and later.“

“Best place to purchase fresh fish. Oh, and don't let the crowd fool you those fishermen and cashier will get you out of there very, very quickly. I love shopping at Market Fisheries on 71st and State. Thanks Market Fisheries for serving me and my family. Thank You la“

“A classic restaurant in Chicago. Always great service“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Our waitress Blanca was wonderful!
Red Lobster has always been our go to
It’s nostalgic for celebrating whether it was a graduation, birthday or just because this was our place. New places can pop up however memorable moments was this place and this is why I go and support. Good times fun times. I look forward to some updates with their decor that’s all. Red Lobster can never get old for me. Classic and a treasure!“

“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“

“Great food! My friend and I went for a quick bite to eat before going home. This place hit the spot. The guy taking our was good, and he gave us recommendations and explained the menu. We ordered wings, tenders, shrimp, and fries with some canned drinks. It's not a fancy food spot, but if you're hungry and want something to satisfy you, I recommend coming here.“

“Chicken Alfredo with a Cajun twist And also thanks to Britt with the awesome customer service“

“Seafood snacks? What are y’all got, kelp? Honestly, I have no way to possibly fathom what a seafood snack could be. But that’s not even the most confusing part to me, y’all got steak too? How? Is the steak a seafood snack? Well, it is separated by a “&”, so I guess not. Or could it possibly be that the cows who are the steaks were fed seafood snacks? Or could it be that the cows were sea cows? Maybe the cows were born and raised underwater. I’m just trying to imagine the logistics of that, like how would the cows get oxygen? Maybe it’s highly oxygenated water. Or maybe throughout billions of years of evolution the cows became adapted to the sea life. I’m not even sure that cows have been around for that long. But also, I feel like we would be feeding off of a very rare species. They’re probably super rare because I have never heard of them before. So it might be best that we don’t eat the sea cows, or they might go extinct.“

“I attended a Private Retirement party here and it was amazing from beginning to end! This neighborhood gem had plenty of seating, great food, great service and the drinks were top shelf!

The DJ was AMAZING and the sound quality was spot on. There were board games, Jenga and everyone had an amazing time. The host put her spin on it with the decorations and photo booth but the owners really made you feel WELCOME!“

“Large portions, delicious and affordable.“

“I Highly recommend Las Fuentes! There Service, The Delicious Food, Margaritas and the Atmosphere was Excellent ! 8/27/2024“

“Excellent menu, fantastic food, delightful service. A jewel on the southeast side!“

“No good wings to small for the price 😕 4 wings for $10 not worth it cook to hard no seasoning i ask for lemon pepper and still it doesn't taste like it was seasoning i think we are paying for the new building GO TO HAROLD'S DOWN THE STREET TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Fist timer. The Buffalo sauce is perfect. Just enough to make sweet beads on my forehead. The fries are good too. My wife had the Tilapia it was lightly breaded. It takes a little longer to cook than the chicken.“

“This bar is a very nice GEM that has a great decor. The beers are ice cold and the drinks very refreshing. Taco Tuesdays are very tasty and the catfish dinner is Awesome. This is a very friendly bar with colorful characters. Watch the game from any seat or select a song from touch tunes and dance your cares away. Try you luck on the gaming machines or just have a couple of drinks with your buds.

Parking: I-57 close by

“I hadn't been there in years. The food did not disappoint. We had jumbo shrimp, catfish nuggets, frog legs, fried calamari, hush puppies and onion rings. Delicious! They don't have dine in anymore. When I got home, I heated up my own spaghetti.“

“Food and service were fantastic. We were thrilled to find this place open after 11PM. Our flight was late, and my coworker and I had to drive two hours before arriving at our hotel. Starving and desperate, we found this food joint about to close but they graciously let us eat inside, serving us the best food ever!

The staff didn't rush us or even hint at kicking us out like they do in NY or NJ. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the King Nachos, and my coworker got the fried catfish. Plus, two iced teas for a total of $36. A fair price for a meal that saved us from gnawing on the hotel’s pillows!

Now, the area is a bit sketchy. We, the only two people in business suits, definitely stood out like sore thumbs. Lol. After we finished, the staff politely closed up shop. Thanks again, folks, for the great service!

Parking: Plenty of parking in front of store“

“Acclaimed renowned chef Fabio Viviani best known for his Italian and now California wineries (Fabio Viviani Wineries) and his 2008 appearance on the reality television competition series Top Chef where he was voted the "fan favorite" has lent his name and vision to a few new restaurants in the Southlands at the newly opened Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino on 173rd & Halsted. \n\n“Shuck It” Oyster Bar is a reasonably priced Louisiana Cajun Style restaurant that offers “a curated selection of freshly shucked oysters served with flair, pan roast, live-action kettles, and classic gumbo, accompanied by libations.”\n\nFor starters I suggest a classic Caesar Salad —\nromaine hearts, anchovy, sourdough croutons, horseradish, and a delicious Caesar dressing. The Clam Chowder, New England or Manhattan though my preference is for, and this review is of, the classic New England chowder, was rich, with FRESH oysters clearly made from scratch in-house. The Gulf Oysters on the ½ Shell were similarly FRESH and delicious. Finally the “Prince Edward’s Mussels” are served in a variety of unique styles but again I prefer classic style dishes so I enjoyed the steamed in white wine, garlic and herbs.\n\nThe Gumbo is simply remarkable! Creole stew cooked with andouille sausage and okra. Served with steamed rice is common to the five styles: 1) Poarch Style - Shrimp, crab, lobster; 2) Shrimp; 3) Crab; 4) Lobster; and 5) Chicken varying in price from $30-$20. My version was clearly made to order—classic NOLA style gumbo with lobster as an add in—shrimp, crab, lobster, chicken and andouille sausage. \n\nFinally, you must “experience” the Seafood Étouffée -Cajun stew, shrimp, crab, and lobster served over soft moist white rice.“
