50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Hazel Crest

“Hands down, THEE best oysters I’ve had in IL! Javel greeted me and is superb! Very friendly and well versed on the menu, gave me good recommendations. Chef KyJuan prepared my meal with a smile! Food is flavorful, fresh and nice sized portions. Bar area is clean, well lit and spacious. Good vibes at Shuck It! Highly recommend and will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Finally got to try the Mariners Boil at Red Lobster Matteson. It did not disappoint, the lobster tail soaked up all of the RL Signature Butter sauce! So good! Lathaniel was great-- pleasant, welcoming, attentive, patient while we ordered, and knowledgeable. Lathaniel made suggestions/recommendations as we ordered, paid attention to detail, and checked on us often. Lathaniel made us feel like family. Great experience, will return.“

“This is by far the best JJ Fish in the city of Chicago!! The food is consistently fresh, and the staff is welcoming. I also came in to place an order on Super Bowl. Although it was busy and wait times for some were longer than usual… the staff maintained professionalism and supported customers as quickly as possible. I’d recommend this location to anyone!“

“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!“

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

“It was a wait but worth it food was great prices were ok best part of about it is that they expect the link to pay witch I was surprised , but they charge you cash for using the link like 3 dollars so it’s a hustle but it’s worth it if you like sea food and you don’t feel like cooking“

“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“

I was unsure on what to order and the young man up front helped me decide my entire order. The food was perfectly priced and came out within a reasonable time. If I can give this place 10 stars I would.“

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

“Food it's absolutely delicious.
My wife ordered a LEVANTA MUERTOS for 2, but it was mostly for 3 or 4.
Plate was served plenty, and tasteful, everything in there was cooked perfectly. Also it came with lost of hot sauces and tostadas witch save time to just seat and eat.
But EMPANADAS DE CAMARON were not that wood, flavor was right, but they were under cooked.
We ordered to go, but next time we will eat there. Place looks nice and nite.“

“Went in today and got a large order of catfish steaks. They were cut in half the long way to cut the meat down and fried hard as if there were meat on them. The mild sauce was in a sample cup and the price were higher! Lost a customer today! Never going back!“

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

“Love this place - the chicken is always good. BUT if I order wings and ask for “mild sauce on the side” I only want mild sauce. I ordered 8 wings with mild sauce on the side and got 1 cup of mild sauce and 1 cup of hot sauce - I never asked for hot sauce so now I have 8 wings with 1 cup of sauce.“

“I gotta say I'm not from the area but I tried the lemon pepper and honey BBQ wings with lemon pepper on the fries and it was amazing. 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.“

“If you like authentic local place for Mexican seafood this is the place for you. Some of the best rice I've had outside of a little Mexican woman I know that makes great Spanish rice. I love places like this where it feels like need to speak Spanish to order. You do not need to speak Spanish to order but it doesn't hurt. Great value, really good food - I recommend highly! BTW - BYOB“

“Their chicken is probably the best item on the menu in my opinion and second best is the catfish fillet , both are so fresh & hot when I get them every-time . I’ll add pictures on another review . But this is the BEST SHARKS IN CHICAGO . Customer service is always nice . I’ve never had a bad experience at this place .“

“We sat outside for the first time. It was lovely. Server was great, never forgot about us. The drinks were perfect for a summer night.“

“Great customer service and great food,environment and clean , I will back to eat“

“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.

“I ordered 10 wings made it home and they was old as f#$/!. THEY TRIED TO COVER UP THE CHICKEN WITH LOTS OF LEMON PEPPER. DO NOT GO THERE! IF YOU DO CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU GO! I THREW THAT S@#! AWAY!“

The owner and waitress make u feel right at home with good southern eats made to ur liking. Joana is the waitress with the long ponytail is the best server. Definitely a hit 20/10“

“The food was superb! Shrimp and FF. The staff was very attentive. I can't wait to go back again!
I have to tell you about the shrimp! It was fried to perfection! The texture of the shrimp was that of a lobster. Not to tuff and not to soft. Absolutely perfection, and dont even get me started about the FF whatever the cook uses as spices, muuwah, perfect!! To say i will be going back is an understatement!! Perfection in mine and my boy friends oppinions. Thank you two for the perfect dinner and the great service. It takes ALOT to impress me when in comes to food. But this place has got it down to a science!! Over and above my expectations!“

“Great food Great service Clean establishment“

“I had an awesome experience ordering the 100-piece wing platter from this place. There was absolutely no wait time, which surprised me considering how big the order was. The place was super clean, and the staff was really friendly and welcoming. The food itself was delicious — the wings were fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality. On top of all that, the prices are great for the amount of food you get. I’ll definitely be coming back! The owner even offered us free beverages I had a great experience!“

“This place has big, huge shrimps. The service was terrible, took over 20 minutes to order. The place wasn't crowded at all. Then it took another 25 minutes to receive your order. Good food, bad service. Plus they charge you extra for accepting debit cards! That's illegal.“
