Absolutely amazing. We were completely blown away! Everything we had was delicious but their hush puppies are TO DIE FOR. Fresh oysters are always great and who doesn't love a perfect fish taco ?!

eddie nice

Love the menu. Great Chicago place with friendly staff and tasty food. Try the Brussels sprouts and bacon . Then top it off with an IPA and calamari . Tasty!

This seafood shack serves decadent lobster rolls and oysters on the half shell, plus punchy cocktails served in Mason jars . Parties of three or less should head to the first-come, first-served counter Read more

Time Out Chicago

The fried items all have great flavor (like the fried onions with lemon and jalapeño ), but sometimes they arrive soft instead of crisp. Likewise, the herby lobster roll can get a little chewy in parts Read more

Serious Eats

The Calamari here are exemplary--breaded, deep fried, and tossed with picked banana pepper , jalapeño , and sliced garlic , a light grating of Parmesan cheese

Danielle @DanielleDuncan

i love the fried calamari , garlic bread , shrimp po' boy , rock shrimp (wet), they had scallops as a special (AMAZING!)- ask for beer pairing too! My fav cocktail is #3!

Tana Babcock

Super tasty rum cocktails + the clam chowder + the po boy and you've covered all the bases. Cozy barstool diner setup.

Jessica Lembke

I wish the buffalo frog legs were a staple here, they are amazing...but then again, so is everything here. LOVE the calamari and lobster roll mmmm

Time Out Chicago

Try the fried onions with lemon and jalapeño from our 100 Best list: A medley that balances the sweetness of the onions with acidity (the lemon ), heat (the jalapeño ) and lots of flavor (both).

Monica B

Service was great. Three hour tour was too sweet.. Portions were small, even for tapas style , but I'd still come back for the lobster roll and the scallops tacos special. Yum!

Bryan E

Had a great meal at Fish Bar! The rock shrimp (wet) and the dungeness crab were the highlights! Kristen was an awesome waitress ! Will definitely go back.

Cordell Collins

Excellent as always. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly with great recommendations although you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

Peter Becker

A great neighborhood spot with fresh seafood in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood . This place makes all the right moves. Never had a bad experience here & been 10+ times. Fresh. Reasonable. Friendly .

Zach Solomon-Beloin

Great patio and atmosphere. The food is fantastic. I had the Satchmo Po'Boy and it was great.

Kirstjen Lorenz

Fish specials change all the time, but they know what they are doing here so you will have a great meal.

Katherine K.

You should probably order the Sea Scallops and the Watermelon Feta Salad (yes, order BOTH because the portions are small!) - deeeeelish!

Hillman Philistia

lobster roll of course, chef has shaky hands and loose control over salt on more than one occasion (2) I was disappointed with appetizers and fries . I only get the lobster roll .

Teri Gidwitz

Very personable waitstaff , and delicous seafood dishes . Can't wait to try more. Loved the lobster roll in particular. And great tater tots . Read more

Nichole 📚

Amazing clam chowder . Rock shrimp and saracha/sour cream dip also the best. A poor mans lobster = rock shrimp .

Good fried fish sandwich , excited to come back & try some oysters or lobster

Oysters & lobster roll ... Amazing. The blackened tuna sliders special was wonderful too.

The Sea Scallops are delectable ! The Calm Chowder is a great way to start out too!

Time Out Chicago

Hop onto a bar stool at this DMK Burger Bar sibling for grilled, fried and sandwiched seafood , most of it less than $10.

Bengi Selcukoglu

Get the rock shrimp wet, it was amazing! Also, the key lime pie was exquisite, and I'm not even that much of a fan usually.

Courtney Bennett

The lobster , sweet corn bisque is awesome! Spicy sweet and perfect with their great cocktails or Belgian beers .

Sarah Pasquesi

The fish fries seem freaky, but are actually very buttery and delicious if you can get past the whole fish thing.

Colin Jamieson

Groups of four or less...the oyster po'boy is delicious. If you haven't had a clam or oyster you can try a free one!

Karen

The oyster po boy , soft shell crab sandwich , and tuna tartare are all amazing!

Nikki C

Friday night is date night . If you order a lobster roll at least let him go to 2nd base.

ISC Chicago

Very tiny, but worth the wait if it's crowded

Sarah Pasquesi

The key lime pie was, hands down, the best thing I ate. Amazing!

If you are a short person like me, head upstairs for a seat and a better view. If there isn't a show, check out Brew and View. Cheap beer, cheaper movies, and one of the cheapest date ideas around. - Lisa W
