i had the fried penis. it was great. juicy. plump and full of flavor. every bite exploded in my mouth, such a cavalcade of flavor. the savory white sauce that came with my meal ran down my chin with every bite. my next order will include a side order of balls. do they come in large? read more

The good? Close spot near the house. It's order, to go, no dine in. They have a variety of options and that could be the case with our meal on Friday. The service was good, easy and the lobby was clean. My first time, my Husband has been here and spoke highly of the fish. We ordered a fish dinner with red beans and rice. The fish was thick, seasoned well. Beans and rice were good. I ordered the shrimp pasta. The portion size was good for the price but I took 2 bites and couldn't eat it. Not sure what the oil base was on the pasta but it was rancid :( it was BAD! For me to NOT eat, my husband was concerned. The bread that was given was just that, bread, not toasted, no garlic bread, nothing. I threw all of it in the trash. This is why I have 3 star rating. I would return and just order fish only. read more

On my first ever trip here, I bought shrimp and it had thick, rubbery, flavorless batter. That made me scared to ever buy any seafood from here. The chicken wings are very good and a very reasonable price. So are the dirty rice, pasta, and coleslaw. I'm not a fries type of person but for some reason I love their fries with the chicken. I just don't see how they are a seafood restaurant because that shrimp batter was terrible. read more

I go there for the Jumbo Shrimp They do have good service and the staff is always nice and friendly. I always phone ahead to avoid the wait time and I have never had a bad experience with them. I've been going here for over 15yrs now and I only get my shrimps from them, so I definitely recommend them for read more

If you want good fried seafood and wings... you will not be disappointed! The right amount of seasonings and crunch in every yummy bite!. Sadly there is no place to sit and enjoy your meal, but the staff was friendly and worked fast. Even though they forgot my fries. I will definitely be back again on my next trip! read more

I loveeee the fried shrimp! The customer service is always good (to me anyway) my husband and I eat here regularly. Never disappointed

Been going here for years. Best smelts around. Shrimp and pasta dishes are amazing. Staff is friendly. Blackened menu items are really good. Highly recommended. read more

Out for some fried fish and found this spot. Cashier was friendly and place is clean. My whiting was bland. I also had some fried chicken and dirty rice. Both were decent. Lemonade I wouldn't recommend. Huge menu and good prices. read more

The seafood is fabulous, always crunchy and delicious...... I have bought the shrimp, frog legs, oysters and fish chips countless times and they never disappoint.... read more

This would be my second time here, the first time maybe 6 years ago with the same unsatisfactory results.They did not have enough staff on a Friday night, as the order taker was cooking and bagging. This allowed my (frozen in the bag type shrimp )to chill on the counter. The purpose of To Go Pick Up , Prepaid orders, is expediency and happy customers! Not happening here. read more

This shrimp house is shockingly delicious fresh tasty seafood with relaxing atmosphere. You can't dine in there but they are worth the pick up or delivry. Please give this shack looking place a chance. To me they are better than, Lawrence fisheries. Sharks and j&j fish etc. read more

The shrimp were amazing and huge nice deals and the scallops were delicious ask for the butter drizzle on them. I will be back

I ordered catfish dinner they sold me catfish nuggets not bad at all just not what I ordered

They just pull a switch and bait. The sign clearly said $3.95 and he argue me that the price just change and charge me $4.95. Be careful of this place. It use to be really friendly. read more

The shrimp was on point I do not have to drive downtown is great to have this in the south suburbs I will be back

Considering the location, this place is great. It's carry-out only. They have a big parking lot and I think that they should have "CAR HOPS" like an old-fashioned drive-in! That would be great. They have an extensive New Orleans style seafood menu. We only had the Shrimp and Alligator. The Shrimp was pretty much FIRST CLASS as good as it gets. The Alligator was just Okay. I won't order the alligator again, mainly because I get it in New Orleans and it's hard to beat there. Again, the menu is great, and it really extensive, quite a few choices. A lot of the choices are sort of "sit down" fancy menu choices, not the usual carry-out menu sort of stuff. But since we were eating in the car, we chose the fried stuff. Again, the shrimp is awesome! They even have fancy sparkling waters in their drink selections! Definitely get these guys to do the drive-in car-hop thing! read more

I had the fried gator with fries, and keep in mind this was my first time trying gator so I was a bit nervous, and I just have to say it was one of the best things I've ever had!!! Was perfectly cooked and crispy and the small surely filled me up so I imagine the bigger size could feed 2-3 people. I would HIGHLY recommend it :) read more

Harbour Point Shrimp House - Fried Alligator with French Fries - Seafood Near Me - Burnham, Illinois

I ordered from this restaurant during the. COVID-19 epidemics. While I appreciate them strive their customers during this time I want to address the issue of them stereotyping and disrespecting the community by ignoring my request for my issue with my order. I drove up and a nice young man took my order. Everything went well with ordering. Meal cam out about 30 minutes which I don't understand why it took so long to fry shrimp and fries. I could make it at home in 10 minutes at home. Tired of cooking because of quarantine. I wanted a break and decided to patronize this restaurant. The shrimp were fresh and the fries were old. Dull and fried in old oil. Stanky old taste. I asked for new fries and they denied my request. It's was only $5 worth of fries. They probably paid $1 for them. They sent me away with no new fries. To,d me to call the manager. This on,y happens in our community. We are always disrespected but expected to spend our money with no question, no exchanges and no refunds! Also, the shrimp were fresh but tastes like Aldi frozen shrimp. not freshly battered. Taste like fake shrimp batter or from a company with sugar added. Never get my money again. They frozen food people. Ain't nothing real and fresh happening there. Save your money. I spent $35 and couldn't get new fries. I cook a lot and I would've changed the oil and gave my guests new fries. These people and other restaurants prey on our community. read more

The everyday 2lb shrimp deal is the best around. They are quick and they accept credit.

Definitely not fresh seafood. I was hype over gator bites but I was COMPLETELY disgusted. No meat and all bread. Get up outta here trying to charge more than a $1 for them!!!!! read more

I been going to this place since I was in my teens. I would always get the crab sticks and back the. They were $.50 each, since then the prices have gone up but the quality of the food is still amazing. I love eating the jumbo shrimp, crab sticks, and lobster Mac n cheese. read more

Shrimp are large and fried to perfection. Their special creations are quite appetizing not to mention the homemade potatoes chips. Now that the bridge is reopened...I'll be visiting more often. read more

Out of all the seafood restaurants in the Chicagoland area you don't really hear much about this place, but the food actually isn't too bad. I've been going here for years and I like their shrimp and the fish chips. read more

This place is definitely a hit. The lemon pepper grilled catfish and spinach pasta is delicious. Always fresh and seasoned well

The shrimp is amazing EVERYTIME always fresh and hot! I definitely recommend this place. No long lines open late on the weekends friendly staff. read more

Really this is a 3.5! I was quite impressed with the menu of this dive-y takeout joint ~ so I ordered all I could with my $36 ~fried alligator ~fried shrimp ~fried orange roughy ~seafood gumbo ~spinach and pasta The reason for the 3.5 and not the 4 simple ~ the shrimp ~ they were totally covered in thick breading ~ sometimes I had a hard time telling the head from the tail. Way to much. The gator was a little better then okay ~ I was surprised it was as good as it was being so far from the gulf. The spinach and pasta was edible ~ but I should have known better ~ this a fry pit The orange roughy with a squeeze of lemon was 4 stars! The meat was light and melted in my mouth. It stood on its own. No sauce needed. I almost wished I could trade it all in for just a few more pieces. The seafood gumbo was the bomb! This was also a solid 4 stars. The roux was just the right color and seasoned beautifully. I would have preferred my rice on bottom instead of mixed in ~ but it was so good that it was easy to ignore the foul. All in all a good place to get some fried fish. If you are remotely close swing by ~ if need be eat in your car ~ grab some nice white wine or a couple of beers and have a fried picnic in the forest preserve ~ though I had a 25minute drive to my destination and the food was still nice and warm. Good eats! read more

Good place for fried-anything-seafood in the middle of an otherwise dreary area... the place looks kinda sketchy but it's actually decent... the owner is as nice as can be.. he came out and chit chatted with us and everything. we had fried lobster, which was very good... they're kinda lobster nuggets or something.... and buffalo shrimp are pretty good, too! it's obvious that this isn't your ordinary "fried anything" type place though... the owner really is trying to do something different from everything else in the area... he has items on his menu you wouldn't find anywhere else... and does things really well, he doesn't just throw things in a fryer and hope for the best. read more

If you compare this place to Bob's Shrimp in Hammond Indiana there is none. This place uses too much breading and leave the tails on. That adds weight so you get fewer shrimp. The shrimp texture is different. I can't describe it. Perhaps one uses gulf shrimp and the other uses imported tiger shrimp. There is a different taste; like Lawrence's from Canal St in Chicago. They use too much breading too. Don't get me wrong: I'd rather a short travel than drive to Hammond Indiana. Everyone has a different taste so give them a try you might like Harbour Point better. I didn't. read more

I feel I can't give them five stars since I've only ever had shrimp and fries. Those shrimp and fries sure are good, though. I grew up on the far East Side of Chicago and spent many hours driving down Torrence to River Oaks. My family and I are quite the shoppers and would be famished on the return trip. Harbour Point to the rescue with bags of fried shrimp. I can say I've never had a bad bunch. If you're ever out east, stop in. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I hope to try at least half if it someday. read more

My husband and I were craving alligator and shrimp today and decided to head over to Harbour Point. Big mistake! We tried repeatedly to place an order only to be placed on hold multiple times. We noticed a male employee, pants sagging, underwear exposed, no masks, no gloves, no hair net sporting a ponytail and holding court in the parking lot. When my husband inquired if he was the one taking the call in orders, he said yes. Needless to say, we were left on hold so long that we decided to go elsewhere. During these unprecedented times when small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, you would think we would have been met with better customer service. read more

If what you want is mouth watering fried seafood to go, come here! I drive about 25 miles just to get their buffalo shrimp. Their jumbo shrimp is huge, Im excited toto know what the colossal shrimp looks like and can't wait to try some fried alligator. One of my favorite low-key spots! (Only takeout) read more

Purchase the gumbo for the second time, I asked them what was in it she said shrimp crawfish and crab. Open it up its looks straight up like rice and gravy I see no shrimp no crawfish no crab. Does not taste like gumbo nor look like gumbo. This looks and taste like something they should I sell to the public. read more

The BEST Seafood that I have had in Chicago thus far! We had the fried alligator, crab cakes, spinach pasta, caramel brownie, buffalo shrimp and I WOULD ORDER IT ALL AGAIN! I would have never run across this place if I had not taken my car to the repair shop across the street, which was a referal from a co-worker. Most of their business comes from locals and the Ford and factory shops in the area, however I think its worth taking a trip! Its best to just stay and eat it on the trunk of your car in the parking lot! Fun, fun! The owner Mike is also the cook and is very down to earth and proud of his hard work. Keep up the good work Harbour Point! You will always be in my top 10! read more

This was my 1st time visiting ,Ordered jumbo shrimp and it was just ok. Not much flavor and a lot of breading. In my opinion just head down the street to the Shrimp shack or Shrimp Express. read more

Well last time I went I bought my mom a meal and decided to try there scallops, $8 for half okay I'll buy, when they tried to slide it in with the other meal scallops were burnt to a crisp to the point they shrunk inside the bread it was fried in and only gave me 5 scallops long story short not the spot to spend money read more

One of my favorite Shrimp House's in the South Suburbs. The food is cooked to order so it is always fresh and hot. Quick service and good customer service!! My favorites are the Jumbo Shrimp hush puppies, fish & chips and crab bites. read more

Shrimp, fried lobster and catfish nuggets are really good. I've been eating here for years and never had a bad experience. Now to the new shrimp and catfish pasta with spinach they sell, it's sooooooooooooo good, you will NOT be disappointed read more

I've been eating here since I was 15 about 12 years now and I literally went from eating here twice a week to almost never the gumbo used to have normal size shrimp in it now they use those teeny little baby shrimp almost like the ones in a can I've had the gumbo on several occasions and it was cold and had a weird coppery taste as a gumbo lover I was disappointed it seems like this restaurant went from serving high quality seafood items to bottom of the barrel I only eat here now when forced I'm done paying top dollar for low quality read more

I eat here 5 days out of the week!!! Love this place! The talapia is bombdotcom! The shrimp are amazing! The catfish is bomb too

Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! ALL of the other reviews have to be by employees or the owner's family and friends because it was DISGUSTING! I ordered blackened catfish and what they gave me was definitely NOT catfish. Whatever it was it had a totally smooth texture on the outside. Give me what I paid for, not some leftover crap that you're trying to get rid of. I will NEVER go back to this place and I am going to spread the word. Whatever that fish was, it was greasy and had no flavor, the "homemade" red beans and rice tasted like some crap out of a box and the fries weren't even good. They changed ownership at least 5 years ago and I had only been once since then. The new owner was trying some new things then so I thought he just needed some time to work out the kinks. Not sure if this is the same owner from 5+ years ago but I will definitely NOT go back!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
