23 Best Seafood Restaurants near University Park

“Let’s start with the food it has to be probably the most perfectly cooked clean food. I have to also give some props for the customer service, there’s always a sweet young man working in the front that never fails to assist in any way. Atmosphere is inevitable to not be the best as in a 5 star restaurant although for chicken and fish and chicken shop it has to be by far the finest I’ve walked into. For everyone whose has the cravings or interest for any delicious fried food I’d highly recommend.!“

“We enjoyed a lovely meal with delicious food and great service. Joe was our server and was very knowledgeable and attentive. The baked clams were exceptional and the raw oysters were so good! We had several appetizers and each ordered a meal. Zero complaints from us! The pork chop with Marsala mushrooms was amazing! Well done Vinny's, we'll be back!“

“Food was nice, not memorable though.Lamb chops and New York strip.Very dark inside, hard time reading menu.Service staff very friendly and quick.I've had mint jelly with lamb, but not mint jello.Decor felt like it was made in 1980s and never updated. Looks it's age.“

“The service is top notch and down to earth. The cheese they use is grade A! I've had the deep dish before but wasn't a fan, only because it's too sweet of a sauce for my taste. However I recently tried the thin crust and it worked very well under the cheese with the sausage, bell pepper, onions and mushrooms. Seems like they saute the bell peppers and they are long pieces not diced. It's costly pie but we did get the 18 inch with 4 toppings, which came to $40. But all costs are rising. I would definitely come back to get a personal pizza for myself! I will have them brown the cheese next time. Definitely worth a try. I enjoyed the antipasto salad, just wish they chopped the meat and cheese instead of long slices that were still partially connected. I had to re-cut it which I didn't particularly mind doing but prefer it done for me if I'm paying for it.“

“I've been coming here since they've opened and they never steered me wrong. The food is always fresh seasoned to your liking. The staff are very well mannered and kind. I love it here. If you all are ever in Homewood and want some seafood please come check them out.“

“Good breakfast place. Server took my order and never came back to check on me or my guest. I had to get a different server to help me. Ordered the perch. (Wasn't fully cooked) The Manager had a nice personality, the 2nd server was very nice, reordereda breakfast plate and it was good.“

“They definitely need more advertising. Their food is absolutely the best, from the steaks, burgers , chicken, and ribs. The entire staff is great! We drive from Lemont, and it's really worth the drive. Do yourself a favor and try it. You will not regret it.“

“Great food all the time. I am truly a regular, and I never had a meal that I had to complain about or return. Must ask for bread. Cabbage and cheese is the best ? ? ?Parking: There's a large shared parking lot, and you may find a spot right in front, but wherever you park, there is only a short distance to walk from the restaurant.“

“Coming from a person who enjoys to entertain but dislikes cooking, this is the perfect combination of quality and quantity! The fresh ingredients and blend of flavors will not disappoint your taste buds.? Perfect tray for hosting or meal prepping“

“Love LOVE LOVEEEE!!! Everything about them. So helpful! So friendly! Black owned too! Chicken and fries are my fav go to. Only two people in the kitchen but it didn’t take long for the food to be done. Go support ♥️✨they’re for the neighborhood and for the people ✊? I’ll be back ??“

“Parking: Not sure of the number of spots located on the size of restaurant but it didn’t seem to be a problem with the parking.Kid-friendliness: There were children in the restaurant and it appeared to be very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant was wheelchair accessible from what I can see.“

“Tried the jerk barbecue rib tips. I wasn't terribly fond of them but then I remembered they were JERK so I settled into the flavor. Next visit I tried the beef short ribs and they were very good with the sweet potatoes and the greens both also good. Last visit I tried the oxtails. They were incredible and I look forward to getting them again. The sweet potatoes were also delicious. However, this time the greens were extremely bland, but that won't stop me from going back.“

“Was looking for a Philly sandwich but Baba's was closed. Crossed the street and decided to try a burger since I've never eaten here. It's a shrimp spot but they have some interesting things on their menu. I picked the Diablo burger and he asked how I want it cooked (medium well, please)..and it was good! Will go back and work my way thru their menu. Will provide better pics next time.“

“Love their food. We live 2 hours away, and whenever we come through town to visit family, we stop to get tacos. So flavorful, and they are VERY generous with the amount of meat they put on the tacos. The cilantro and onions are always fresh, and the cilantro is never black or wilted. The flavor of the salsa is consistent even after months of not eating there (since living out of town). The meat is juicy and tender, and seasoned well. The rice is fluffy and not bland. Very good stuff, and for a fair price!“

“Hi, my name is Deborah.I enjoy j j's fish. I got a small order of catfish nuggets. No lemon pepper. It seems like it was a large order. The fry's were like they were Hand cut just for me, yummy yummy yummy. You go j j's fish on torrance Avenue.“

“Chill staff, quick service, good prices for the amount of food. The self service mil' sauce station is dope, haven't experienced that before. Missing 5th star only because I've had food at other locations that tasted a bit better (to me). This location is fine. Go support them.“

“For those unfamiliar with this place, you definitely don't want to pass up the chance to try their amazing cuisine. Ordering online through Doordash or Ubereats is a breeze. It's worth mentioning that they have spent over five years perfecting their dishes, resulting in an unbeatable level of food quality.A place where you can get your best food if you're new to here. They offer online orders at Doordash or Ubereat. You guys should notice they had been working for more than 5 years so their food quality was better.“

“Look at the pictures it says it all, this is the best chicken I ever had. Triple lemon pepper 20 pieces of chicken WITH fries.It may take a little time but it's made to go but if you call before coming 15 minutes it will already be ready and the 2 sauces was HUGE.Parking: 10“

“Everyone in the town of Momence knows this, but if you are passing through, hit the brakes and pull in for the best popcorn ever!I absolutely love Cranky Mike's Popcorn! My favorite flavors are double cheddar, jalapeño cheddar and and dill. The Chicago area has some very famous popcorn, but Cranky beats them all!Of course they are not Cranky at all and you will find them to be very friendly with great service. There are so many flavors to delight the pallet and the corn is always fresh! Yum stuff! ?“

“This hidden gem reminds me of New Orleans style cafe.. good atmosphere, delicious food, great service. Although our waiter Jasmine seemed to have an attitude, I think maybe she was a lil overwhelmed w how busy it was. I'm definitely returning back to this establishment because it's so many delicious items I was try. I had the shrimp and grits, and when I tell you that cajun was ??, I started sweating immediately but it was sooo good!! The fried green tomatoes was a hit too. I believe this was an black owned restaurant“

“Sharks won't sell two piece fish and fries beyond 4:00pm. Requires three piece fish and fries be sold after 4:00pm with inflationary prices added to sales price. In today's inflationary times people shop where they can get the most for their dollar. Unfortunately for Sharks it's cheaper to go to the grocery store and prepair the food yourself. I encourage Americans throughout the US to boycott fast food chains that require their product be sold at larger quantities with inflationary prices attached to it. It's Americans who pay your check not hugs.“

“Im not much of a fried chicken person, but the chicken here is DELICIOUS! It’s to the point that I crave it! I definitely recommend this spot to all the chicken lovers! Even the hardcore Harolds or sharks fans will appreciate this place!The service is top notch. Very patient and polite staff creating a very pleasant environment. The prices are very affordable especially for the quality of service and product that comes with your meal! The honey bbq wings are definitely a favorite! The chicken is crispy and flavorful throughout! You wont be leaving any meat of those bones! The sauce is just icing on the cake! Make sure you order enough because you will want more!10/10 for sure!“

“Sharks chicken is great as long as you tell them that you want fresh chicken and don't order until you get to the location. They precook their chicken and then dip it back in the greese to get it hot again otherwise it is the best but ask about the specials because they won't just offer that information“
