50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Harwood Heights

“Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!“

“This is a cozy little mom and pop place that resembles one of the many little family-owned homemade food and sundry stores found throughout the Philippine archipelago. It is very quaint, dimly-lit, homey, and I love it because of that. Upon entering, you can find some frozen goods, then the register, and a short, narrow hallway with canned goods, condiments, snacks, and ingredients on the right. And their freshly made dishes behind a glass counter with heating elements on the left. Their food is delicious and tastes very much like any and all genuinely homemade cooking prepared with skillful hands that know reverence, community, and sincerity, which defines all of Philippine cousine, regardless of region. This place may not be for all, but it does attract those who recognize the familiar feeling of being in a family member's kitchen that loves to cook and the nostalgia that comes with it. Their eggrolls and vegetable lumpia are very delicious, as is their fried bangus (milk fish), dinuguan (stewed pork), and lechón. I included a few pictures of those in conjunction with some of my family's own homemade Filipino dishes, as I find that what we don't make but can find here at Max is an excellent compliment to what we do make on our own. Again, this is an excellent, quaint, hole-in-the-wall place to grab a bite to eat and acquire some groceries. And if you're seeking the familiarity of a delicious, home-cooked meal made with love by a family member that enjoys cooking, then head on over and check them out.

Vegetarian options: Filipino cousine is not really known for their vegetarian dishes, but you can try their vegetable lumpia (eggrolls).

Dietary restrictions: If you have high cholesterol and hypertension, then I would recommend you eat certain Filipino foods very sparingly. There's also not many gluten-free options.

Parking: There's a free parking lot out front with ample parking, as Max is in a little strip mall and shares a space with other stores and restaurants.

Kid-friendliness: There's a bunch of sweet snacks that I'm sure kids would love.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is tricky. There's a bit of a tight turn upon entering, and as the shop is quaint and narrow, there is not much elbow room for patrons when it's packed, let alone an assisted mobile device.“

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

“The restaurant, run by chef Guy Meikle, offers a variety of caviar and innovative dishes such as sour cream and cheddar ice cream topped with Polanco Siberian caviar“

“I enjoyed it very much. Would have loved more options to be included without having to pay extra for everything but overall the food was delicious. I’m fulfilled. I actually stumbled upon this place, I was headed to another seafood place but it was too far, looked up near me and here this was. Came with complementary ice cream.“

“My Aunt had been asking me to take her to Surf's Up. we went for lunch and weren't disappointed. Great food, awesome owner! We were treated better than family. My Aunt had lobster and sides. I enjoyed the best mac and cheese I've ever had. We'll be back!“

“Showed up for dinner with a 4yo and 1yo around 5pm. Sat us at the booth and had great options for kiddos, high chair for baby, and brought all the food out since we had limited time. Everything from the top tier caviar, lobster bisque, branzino, calamari, and even the chicken tenders tasted FRESH and delicious! Valet free but also plenty of parking! So happy hubby randomly picked this place! Will def be back again without kids lol“

“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 was wonderful as was the service. Found my new shrimp spot!“

“The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional! Everything, down to the drink names, perfectly complemented the ambiance. This is an absolutely beautiful place to enjoy dinner and great food. The shawarma rolls, pork chops, and Moroccan tagine were all outstanding. If you enjoy sweet and refreshing cocktails, I highly recommend the 'Gotta Have Faith.' Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend visiting this unique spot. It’s truly a must-visit!“

“Food was fresh and delicious, tasted very authentic! We were a party of 5 that all ordered a different dish and all was very good. Restaurant itself is a bit plain but it’s modern, clean and friendly service which is more important. Ordered the baklava at the end and it is GREAT! Thank you!“

“The food was good service was good love the music. Restaurant was clean. I will definitely be back!

Wheelchair accessibility: My daughter is in a wheelchair. It was a little tight but still enough room for her to move around!“

“Comida con un sabor increíble!! Y un servicio a todo dar ! 💯 recomendando“

“I went in there last week to buy jumbo shrimp $24.95 per LB. Is there new owners in this place. When I got home there was small shrimp with a couple of Jumbo...I should of took a picture. They use to put the fried shrimp in a wax lined brown bag...now they have a with paper container when I got home all was cold. Not wasting my time..“

“GO TO SUDA’S!!! This was the best falafel and baklava I’ve ever had. Miriam, our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and so accommodating — multiple things were sent to us on the house and after we tried the Arak “milk of lions” and didn’t like it due to its strong liquors taste she was quick to taking it off of our bill and was very receptive of the feedback. You have to try the labneh spreads and beetroot mutabbal too! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who is Suda‘s daughter and came to find out that every recipe on the menu is her mom‘s very own. You can taste the love in every bite. The only constructive feedback I have is I wish I came here sooner. 11/10 RECOMMEND SUDA’S!“

“Made to order sushi place that offers a range of options: nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and fried seafood etc.

Price is very reasonable. You can find a menu on their website. The store also sells Japanese snacks, sauces, and spices. Only a few small tables food court style so plan to get take out if you prefer table service or have group of 4+.

Recommend ordering on the phone in advance; at peak hours there is a wait time of about 40 minutes.

They do catering and large orders. Seems like a great option for ordering food for a party.“

“Very good. Look forward to eating there again.“

“Amazing“

“Beautiful Birthday dinner here in one of the cabanas. Liked the privacy and obscuridad the cabanas and low lights gave. Flavors of soup , scallops, and rib eye were great. Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night 😍“

“Very elaborate and flavorful seafood dishes.
I really appreciate the selection of salsa brought with the complimentary tostada chips.

Baha has a great attention for detail.
The drinks and food both flavorful and refreshing.

This is a very fun and interactive restaurant, good for big group, a date, or dinning solo.

Baha definetly has something for everyone!“

“Loved the chicken tenders.“

“Tasty food and Excellent service. We loved the Sancocho de res and the Sandwich de plátano con carne.“

“The food was delicious!!!“

“Incredible food from Chef Gabriel. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar, and then found out that we were sitting next to the head chef! He recommended some dishes and they were amazing. The baked feta was really well balanced. The Octopus with the corn purée was the best octopus I have eaten in the U.S. the short rib was delicate and served with parsnip purée which was like a light mash. What a great flavour to accompany the beef! This is a must try and certainly the best food in this area by a long way.“

“Atmosphere is great two tvs play games or cooking shows, good volume music and a spacious setting.Extensive menu, from cold to warm to got choices. Great flavors, good portions, and excellent flawless service.Great parking area specific for La Grulla and overall an excellent experience.“

“Up until now, I have never wanted to try frog legs until I tasted theirs. Took my Mom to lunch and tried one of hers which turned into a few and now I'm hooked. They were moist, juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Very fresh and well sized. Didnt too much care for the chicken wing zings. They were too salty although fresh and crispy. Also had the seafood salad which was good. Been back again for the frog legs. FYI it is CASH ONLY. Great customer service which was a plus for me. So I didn't mind coming back considering I live no where near the restaurant.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“I always enjoy Seafood Junction. I found I prefer the baked fish, I usually go with the catfish, with steamed veggies in butter sauce with a little of all the seasonings. I always get a side of the veggies to eat as another meal. The hard boiled eggs in butter, again with all the seasonings, are good as well.“

“La comida Esta súper buena 🔥 Muy rico todo muy buen servicio 10 de 10 💯“

“Well, we just loved it! We expected a slightly more bustling urban Italian experience, but being a bistro, we got a more home kitchen feel. The prices were a little lower than expected, but typical with a dine-in Italian experience.

But the food! We have tried lots of Italian restaurants in Chicago recently. This was a standout. They offer a delicious homemade cornbread and feta spread upon arrival. We ordered the Gorgonzola fettuccine and the linguine putaneska and they were just to die for! The Gorgonzola was creamy and not overpowering. The putaneska was savory, salty in the right way, with lots of umami. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. And the carrot cake with cream cheese icing was delicious. The food was just wonderful.

Going along with the home kitchen feel, the server was casual and friendly. Lovely and personal attention is given. Please give this place a try. It is worth it.“

“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.“

“Very friendly, great fresh food to order, a great party room! We have been meaning to try and sad we didn't sooner! Very family friendly.“

“I believe this place is a sister location to The Sipping Turtle, that being said the food is so good. I love the freshness of the ingredients, it truly is fully customizable. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend is their smoothies, I just don’t think they have a lot of flavor (super bland smoothies, taste like a lot of ice)“

“I’ve been going there for many years.
Great food great service very consistent the consume is the best in Chicago ? there drinks such as cazuela de tequila or cantaritos are amazing. Overall 10/10 estilo Jalisco Mexico

Parking: Big parking lot !!“

“The bar experience with Mark and crew (usually, the amazing Evelina) is always phenomenal. The service is impeccable and the food and drinks are consistently delicious. From the moment we pull up and the valets greet us with smiles and warmth to the moment we plop ourselves at the bar we enjoy and appreciate every moment of our experience as Capital Grille Rosemont. We are so appreciative of the top tier experience. Kudos and Bravo!“

“they shrimp and fish is fye and they are clean .“
