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 for 4 or 5 to sit at the two tables. You will see lots of people eating fish in their cars. Calumet Fisheries in business for 75 years. Same owner. Support small business

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.

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 inside. Would definitely come again!

Calumet Fisheries is truly a hidden gem of Chicago - "hidden" because it is a small establishment ( you can't dine in) nestled on the far, far south side of Chicago. A "gem" because the food is fantastic. The smoked fish is delicious and any item I have ordered off the menu has always been satisfying (the catfish dinner is pictured here). The place is cash only but there is an ATM available if need be. Tradition holds that on a nice, sunny day you park your car on the street, order your food, and then sit in the car with your family and eat while enjoying each other's company.
