50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Midlothian

“This was my first time to a Sharks Fish & Chicekn, and I wasn’t sure what to get.
At first I thought I’d get shrimp, but I decided I wanted fish. Then it was a question of a fish burger or a fish sandwich. I asked the two young adults I saw working, what kind of fish, and they said catfish. I had never had catfish before, but I decided to try it and I’m glad I did. I let them decide between the burger or sandwich, and the woman said burger because she liked the bun.
So, I ordered a fish burger with everything, which ended up being a filet broken in half with a slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
It was made fresh to order and tasted great!!

The breading was crunchy, and the fish was perfectly cooked, not overdone. Their catfish was very mild, which I’m happy about. Most of the flavor came from the breading and the mayo based sauce.

They also gave me fries to try. These are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They are thicker than most place’s fries, almost like steak fries, but they are battered rather than having skin on them. I enjoyed them.

All in all, I’m thrilled to have stopped by and given this place a try. I will be back to try more.“

“Came to S2 today for the jerk Turkey legs!! We love this meal so much! I’m also trying their red velvet cheesecake“

“I been coming to this area for over five years and I like that captain hooks is open 24 hours. I like the service of the staff and the food is always hot and delicious.

Kid-friendliness: There are kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking available“

“I had the NY strip. I don't normally leave reviews. But this was my first time at Mr. Benny's, and I truly believe it might have been the best steak I've ever had. The flavor was outstanding, and it was cooked perfectly to my specification (medium rare) and the portion was more than generous. The cut was tender with substance. The baked potato was excellent, and the green beans were a wonderful flavor and perfect texture. Highly recommend.“

“We had an excellent lunch today. The jambalaya was very good, and tasted like we've had in New Orleans. The blackened grouper sandwich was fantastic. The grouper was very fresh and blackened perfectly. Very good service. Will be returning soon!“

“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.“

“Frankie's since 1988 is hands-down, the best restaurant in the southwest Chicago suburbs. My son and I went for my birthday and there was no place I would rather go. The decor is trendy yet elegant and I really enjoyed the music that was playing. Service was quick and friendly. The signature Frankie's old-fashioned was amazing! Although the lasagna is my absolute favorite, I like to try the chef specials whenever possible, especially the seasonal ones. We had the pumpkin lasagna and the butternut squash risotto with crumbled Italian sausage.... Both were amazing! Whether it's your 20th time back or your first time here, the staff and the owner will make you feel like Family. This is truly a gem in the south suburbs. If you're reading this review to see if you want to go to Frankie‘s, don't hesitate... Just make the reservation...You won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

“We had a good experience while celebrating a friend's birthday. The staff adeptly managed our large group with grace and humor. The courses were well timed, the perfect temperature, aromatic and flavorful. Our only minor complaint was the 1 hour wait to be seated, and they don't take reservations. Perhaps they can offer tea to those who are waiting? As they grow, a separate prayer space would be a welcome addition.“

“My favorite for fried shrimp!“

“omg the shrimp is fantastic“

“Love, love, love this place. The food, the atmosphere, the good looking crew, man! My first experience was to celebrate my daughter's birthday in August, the next was a birthday celebration for my sister, and God willing, I will celebrate my birthday in May. But trust, I will not wait until my birthday to go, mainly because I don't live in Illinois, but because I frequent this state, Al Bahaar is on my list of stops & I encourage family and friends to join me! Great job!“

“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!“

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

“Awesome food and great drinks“

“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.“

“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“

“the salmon is fresh and delicious but too much salt i usually like salt but the cook needs too go easy on the salt and the shrimp and grits had too much salt.“

“I love the shrimp and the biscuits, if you’re not careful, you can make a meal out of those biscuits“

“We had the best experience at Seasons 52 Our whole time there was wonderful and our server was so attentive to our table. The food was delish, appetizers were so yummy and we all had different entrees. My filet mignon was cooked perfect. We had a wonderful evening. Thank You, Renee“

“Comida mar y tierra muy sabrosa“

“Great customer service. Excellent food, always delicious 😋. I highly recommend Jumbo Crab 🦀 on Lagrange for anyone in the area...“

“Ate here tonight and the food was wonderful. We had jerk turkey tips, jerk salmon and shrimp, yam, greens, cabbage, Mac and cheese and fried rice. Everything was tasty, hot, freshly made and spicy. The ladies were super friendly, helpful and provided great service. We will definitely be back to try other items. Ask about the specials that aren’t in the regular menu. Yum!“

“Delicious food, fast & friendly service.“

“Iesha and Lea was great I dined in and couldn’t decide on what I wanted and was a lil indecisive but Lea suggested the Wednesday lunch special steak and lobster and Iesha came over to make sure everything was perfect they gave great service thank you ladies for dealing with my shenanigans lol you ladies are awesome“

“Very good and giving establishment!!! Support their business!!!“

“The catfish was fresh, hot, cooked to perfection and delicious, great customer service!! 😋 I will be returning.👍🏽
The 5 star reviews drew me to this location. I had to drive a distance, but it was worth the trip. all other shark locations near me are horrible (2 to be exact)“

“Very good food and drinks. Great vibe for date night 💙“

“I love the service, everyone knows their stuff and if they recommend something ..... listen to them..“

“this seafood paradise on Jeffrey's is cooked so well ,ive tried many of these places but when it comes to seasoning and quality food it's so good.....“

“A classic restaurant in Chicago. Always great service“

“I've said it before, if you find that one or two items they fix well. Keep buying them. They have the combo of Catfish and Shrimp I always get. Service is quick when you call in, the space is clean but 76th can have it's moments. That's anywhere. Call in and Drive off.“

“Amazing food, great service!“

“These guys are amazing. Im not sure, but it appears that they are all family. They run a tight ship and give great service. Plus they allow you to get as many mild sauce as you want because it's self serve. Very good job everyone and please keep up the good work.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“

“Great burgers, excellent service. Decent prices.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best Chicken and Fish you will ever eat. VERY reasonable prices. Family owned“
