“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Came here twice for the nigiri omakase experience and had a great time! It is very worth the price and reminds me of sushi in Japan. The fish is so fresh, melts in your mouth, and seasoned with great combination of flavors. I normally go into great lengths describing the taste of food, but in this case, I do not want to describe more because you have to experience each piece for yourself and enjoy the element of surprise. Service and ambience are amazing! This place never disappoints!“

“If you’re in Chicago and looking for amazing food, S2 Grills Chicago is definitely a spot you need to check out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who made us feel welcome right away. The service started off great and stayed that way the entire time. We were seated very quickly and didn’t have to wait long at all. The food came out fresh and hot, and no joke; everything we tried was extremely delicious. We decided to try a little bit of everything so we could really experience the menu. We ordered the oxtails, Alfredo pasta, lamb chops, fried catfish, rib tips, baked mac & cheese, and candied yams, and every single dish was on point. The flavors were incredible and everything was cooked perfectly. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant was. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot about a place. Great food, great service, and a clean environment; you can’t ask for much more than that. Hands down a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend S2 Grills Chicago if you’re in the area.“

“Came with a party of 8, and every one of us were satisfied and happy with what we ordered. Our Server was awesome, and the desserts oh my. Will definitely be making our way back from the southwest burbs“

“Pleasant waitress . Friendly atmosphere n cleanliness of the place“

“There aren't many rum bars in the city; so if that's your thing, Queen Mary's has to be on your list. The place isn't big, and you can't make reservations. But I found it cozy, and their staff is AMAZING. I used caps because they have a solid grasp on their selection and made excellent recommendations.

By the way - they serve a wide variety of spirits (not just rum) but I came for the rare bottles you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere. Another thing I liked was the price; all their pours were reasonably priced. Next time I go, I'll try some of their small bites or several items from their cocktail menu.“

“Absolutely amazing food here. Friendly Staff, the dessert case is stunning and you won’t be disappointed with the Velour Dessert! 10/10 recommend this hidden Gem!!“

“Great experience going for the first time. Parking available near by, no waiting for a Sunday dinner. Prices not bad for the portions. Service was on point. Portions well served. The lady that served us ( Griselda ),was very friendly and professional. Excellent recommendation for the dishes. Also she recommended to visit during the week for the happy hour on drinks. The staff was very professional. A must come back place.“

“Excelente ambiente, atención y por supuesto la comida!“

“The food is always delicious, and the drinks are fun. I could hang out on the patio for hours. Emilio comes out to make sure everyone is happy. Just a very special place.“

“Be ready to wait a bit ⏳, but trust me—it’s totally worth it! This place is hands down one of the best authentic Mexican seafood spots on the South Side of Chicago 🌮🦐🔥. The food comes out fresh every time, full of bold flavors and just the right level of spice 🌶️. You can really tell they put care into every dish.

The space is pretty small and cozy, so it can feel a little packed at times, but that just adds to the charm 😊. It’s definitely the kind of spot you go to for amazing food, not fancy seating.

Also, don’t forget—it’s BYOB 🍺🍷, so bring your favorite drinks with you! Overall, a great experience with delicious food that’s absolutely worth the wait 🙌“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

“I work at a large insurance carrier. I presented a PPT for a group of about 24 attendees. The entire staff and manager was super friendly and hospitable from the very beginning. They had all the necessary technology and the setup was flawless. The food was amazing, including the sides and dessert. But the best part was working with MICHELLE. She was super attentive, and very sweet. She made me and the entire group feel very comfortable. I was very grateful that we had her as the server.“
