About Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp

Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp is known for its amazing shrimp and offers a good taste with a nice, updated interior. The Canal Street location provides fast service, although there may be a wait during specials. The quality of the shrimp and catfish is generally okay, though some customers have mentioned that the fish can taste freezer burned. Still, it is considered one of the best fried seafood places in Chicago. Customers have enjoyed their fried frog legs on National frog leg day, finding them delicious. The restaurant is small but clean, and parking is easy since it is in a plaza. Most of the food is fried, which is appreciated by many, and the family feast that includes shrimp, whitefish, tenders, and coleslaw is popular. Customers have praised the shrimp and all the fish products, stating they are the best in the metropolitan area. If any shrimp pieces taste funny, the staff usually replaces them right away, and the Jalapeno Ranch sauce is a favorite. The staff is very upbeat and professional, helping customers with orders and providing friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, especially from the manager. Overall, the food quality is good, and the friendly service makes for a positive experience, though some improvements in consistency and service can still be made.
