This place has great food. From chicken nuggets, fries, and fish, but it's at such a cute spot. Cornered on a bridge and small, but man does this place have history. Only downside was that it was kinda cramped inside and cash only. However, there was an ATM but it's dicey whether it works or not.
Delicious fried fish dinner. Friend had fried catfish. Dinners included fish, French fries, Cole slaw along with sauce. They'll ask hot or mild sauce or both. Grab some napkins which are in container on counter. Go ahead... eat your fish dinner while its hot ... where? at the tables outside; room f
It's just one of those things, it's in the ghetto, not really anywhere to hang out and eat except for a picnic table outside. Not the best neighborhood. But you're not a Chicago native until you've been there. Not an everyday thing for me but definitely once or twice a year.
Fabulous food made fresh. They give you a good portion of fries and the fish was seasoned well. Fried mushrooms are awesome too.
Excellent fried smelt and oysters. Plenty of parking. Cash only. ATM inside. Don’t forget to tip :)
Absolutely the BEST smoked fish! Located on the Calumet River at 95th Street, this place is a legacy! Great staff and fair prices. The only thing missing is a dock…. Calumet Fisheries is only 11 miles from downtown by boat!
Delicious, simple, fast service. Cash only old school environment with great food.
The smoked fish is terrific, juicy, flavourful, smoky, and fresh fish. The coleslaw was sweet and the hot sauce mild. Excellent place to stop on a bike ride or going to the park ahead. You can see it's a classic for a reason.
Had to travel a bit from the city to get here but it was worth it. I got smoked salmon and smoked trout and it was super tasty. There was no seating inside but there is parking so you can eat inside your car. Be sure to bring cash because they don't accept card but if you forget, they do have an ATM
