Great little place that is connected to another sitdown restaurant The Shanty, which it should be noted has the entrance located to the rear of the building near the nature preserve. Pockets has all wooden furnishings like a good BBQ place or wharf eatery. I wished more of the tables where benches
Ordered the breaded / fried gulf shrimp which was delicious. The coleslaw was cold, crisp, and sweet. The red skin potatoes and cornbread were also delicious. Very nice size portions. A must try for anyone that has never been here.
This spot is unique. Every thing is made to order. Aligator was really good, frog leg teasted good a little slimey. The rib tips were on point. Fries were really good. Staff and cooks were very nice and friend. I would go back
This place is great. Honestly the best food I have eaten in the Chicago area. There is an ambiance where you can relax and the atmosphere is very mature. A good place to take a date.
I happened to ask a local their favorite place to eat while passing through town. Boy am I glad they led us here! The selection of food is insane and the quality and taste of everything was ridiculous! I ate the jumbo shrimp and ribs combo with corn bread, garlic potatoes and greens. Outstanding!
Very very confusing. There are three restaurants all combined into one Pokys, the shanty, and the shanty south we had no idea where we were going the hostess was a little confused and rude. We stumbled around the corner to porkies. You have to go up to the counter in order and they bring it out to y
This place has phenomenal sea food. The king crab legs are enormous, you can order a sea food boil and choose what to add in it & the seasoning on it. Their lobster tails are so full of flavor & again just huge. Everyone who works their is so friendly and you'll always be served with a smile. The h
Fresh made to order fish and vegetables for only about 20 bucks. Great food. Great value if you're on the go I don't want to get in and get out.
I'm a loyal customer as far back as the old location! Food is always good and the staff is always wonderful. Great place for some seafood and smoked meat.
Always friendly people when I stop here to eat or pick up food. No exceptions this time. They have many selections to choose from including posted specials. I ordered food, sat down and everything came out pretty quickly. Great portions and very good tasting. There were a few overcooked sides mixed
It's been a long rollercoaster ride for me with the Captain and I feel I owe them an apology. Years ago when they were still at the old Sheridan location I wrote a terrible review saying that "folks, I just don't get it", well now I do. I couldn't understand at the time what all the hoopla was about
Amazing Fresh Seafood, Ribs, pastas, oysters serviced different ways and styles, soups of the day and delicious desserts. Also, there is a great variety of beers and fountain drinks. Wonderful customer service. Cozy wood tables and Plenty of parking available. Located right next to the Shanty restau
Outstanding food. So many options and all that we tried were great. Big recommendation for a solid fill up, or order to go if you’re passing through.
New to the restaurant. Carol was super helpful to explain ALL the choices. Casual atmosphere. Order, have a seat, they bring it to you.
The food was delicious! Cooked perfect.
If we are ever in the area, we will come back!
My husband had the crawfish boil.
This place is outstanding! Excellent fresh food! I had the alligator po boy before. Today this 2023 I had frog legs and it was excellent but something new I never had. I came here with the Lake County Health Dept program I am in. Food was served fast and warm and the servers and staff had positive a
