If you like your steak rare, ask for this secret not-on-the-menu item: Filet Mignon , Eye Of Polynesian Style. It's beef sashimi lightly peppered and seared drizzled with oyster sauce . Great Appetizer!

Ross Robertson

This place was amazing. Great beer selection . Gigantic seafood menu . You can eat till you're full, and more with a menu like that.

Ryan Posner

Order any seafood such as scallops or crab au gratin , it is off menu . Think of the greatest macaroni and cheese in the world without macaroni and insert seafood baked to a golden cheesy perfection.

Stacey Etchison

I think my expectation was a little unrealistic based on the info given but overall the food was good. I had lobster , steak , calamari and a MaiTai. Service was great. Huge restaurant !!

Gabriel Verduzco

I heard great things about the amazing food so I had to see for myself. What better day then my wife's birthday. We were stunned by the food before us and when we tasted the crab legs and steaks OMG !

L K

Try the fried shrimp or the salmon . One of my favorite seafood places. Also the steaks (one of the largest steakhouses in Chicago, despite seafood acclaim!).

Peter Rentschler

Wonderful dinner . Garlic rolls are incredible, delicious calamari , Buffalo wings make a great shared app for seafood haters, and 16oz of Snow Crab for $20 on Tuesday nights is a steal!

Scott Spaulding

Whoa, fabulous place!. Seated within 20 minutes of arrival. Calamari with a Mai Tai to start. Entree was Alaskan King Crab - the whole thing weighed 5 1/2 pounds plenty for four people!

Andrew Van Alsten

Don't let the distance from the ocean dissuade you. The seafood is fresh, the steaks are decent, and the service is great.

UME I.♥♡♥

Hawaiian passion drink is the best cocktail in the world!!!! Blue crab claw with garlic style appetizer is the best And Kona crab garlic also the best ever.

Karon W

Been family tradition for 15 years. Mai-Tai's, Salmon , Garlic Rolls , Poke , Searing Ahi Tuna all must haves. If you live in the Chicago area make your way out to Wheeling you won't regret it!

Brigitte

I always get the filet mignon , I don't eat seafood , the steak is the best steak I've ever had. Great service too. Love the garlic rolls

Peter Glodz

Mai tai is a must, King Crab legs to die for, and even their steaks are amazing! Recommend the Surf n' Turf with the Filet.. (Steaks are aged for 3-4 weeks)

JB Lovell

This place was amazing, great staff and great food! I got the Kona crab and was very happy. Also the Hawaiian Poké is on point.

Stephen Neilson

Try the Ex-Crab-Aganza - Great mix of chilled crab claws fresh enough yo' mama would slap 'em upside the haid... I have become one with the fruit of the sea tonight. Shell me!

Tammy Raymond

Bob Chinn's makes the best Mai Tai ! Be sure to order at least one. Engage your server - they are friendly and helpful at all times.

Edd Santos

We have visited monthly for the last 20 years and have yet to have a bad meal. Food is consistently good.

Lina Gonzo

Be sure to order the Alaskan King Crab Legs , steamed, with lots of butter on the side and a baked potato ! Now that's a perfect dinner !

Cherry Ounsy

Best seafood in the Chicagoland area! And they don’t take reservations . Garlic rolls are addicting.

Heather Schaefer

OMG... King Crab legs are the best! But the garlic butter soaked biscuits are fantastic as well !

Gerald Wilson

Crab (of course), super-fresh fish , aged steaks , oyster bar , so many great choices.

Rich Mayer

King Crab is to die for. Huge legs and sweet and cooked right. Great place overall.

Clarissa Emerald

Oh wow, if u are a seafood lover like me, this place is a must go! U will never go wrong with the King Crab , travel and price.. Worth it!

Les Ley

King Crab Fingers (garlic ), Lobster Pot Pie , Philadelphia Roll , Halibut , Seafood Gumbo , Strawberry Lemonade

Judie Wilson

Disappointed when making a reservation having to wait for your table - the waitstaff made it worthwhile - the food was good as long as you stuck to their speciality (my sister didn't like the pasta )

Tony G

What to say? Everything is fresh and delicious. The dayboat scallops cannot be beaten.

AsianHangouts.com

Can't go wrong with any of these: Fresh Oysters , Clam chowder , Maine Lobster , Crab meat vermicelli . Bar specials until 6pm

Brian Strauss

Love the king crab ! The 24 ounce is a lot even for a hungry dude.

Diego Reynoso

Incredible crab legs , but everything is good tuna ahi , sushi rolls

Rachel Abbinante

If you love seafood and you’re anywhere within a 5 mile radius, just go

Michele Means

Garlic rolls , Mai Tais to start. Everything is great here.

Katrina Olson

The food is so good and better than most other seafood places I have eaten!

William Germanetti

Drink - Hawaiian Passion is awesome. Scooped chunks of garlic onto rolls. GF's favorite place!!

Carol Sweet

Bob Chinn's was excellent of course. Had prime rib and the Ohara had crab legs all wondeul

Michael Moriarty

Ok- I'm from Baltimore so I'm suspicious of a crab house in a corn field . But OMG, this place is made of "form-stone," which is what covers lots of the 14ft wide houses in B'more. Gotta try it!

Jon Kee

Their steaks are fantastic too.. Ask nicely and they'll bacon wrap the filet (not on the menu ).. Beautiful...

Antonio Delgado

If you've never been, the Alaskan King Crab is a must.

Shelley Rubenacker

Scallops were melt in your mouth creamy. Sooo good. ????

Nicci Cooper

Amazing food. Go for lunch , the prices are lower on many of your favorites!

Matthew Supert

A fun place, but they move you through like an assembly line .

Karen Franklin

Great beer , great food, great service — what more can you ask for?

Trish Wasgra

The food is excellent. Your best bet is to go off peak or you'll wait for 1 hour or more.

Ed Mski

You can ask for a full crab on the side.most are aound 10 pounds. Its worth it and if you come enough they will love you.

Tara Persico

get the blue crab claws garlic style! service is great! food is always amazing! favorite place to have steak and crab legs !

Nataliya Alexa

Best Dover Sole in town !! Sautéed in Lemon Butter ..

Benjamin Blackmer

Expensive, but it's great seafood . Everything is delicious.

Alex Rosen

Salad Bar is great. Awesome Ranch Dressing . Garlic Rolls are really good and the fish/crab legs are great.

Leslie Rodriguez

This is the best place on earth!!!!!!! I live in mississippi so i try to eat here everytime i come to illinois

Stacey Jacobson

If you don't like seafood , the chicken Parmesan is delicious!

Patrick Villanueva

Soft shell crab , salt and pepper style. When available. Their garlic rolls can't be beat.
