Love the shrimp and Chicken with the Hienie's mild sauce. The employees are very nice with the customers and it's a very busy restaurant so be ready to wait for your food but it's definitely worth it. Hienie's is definitely a hidden gem on the south side of Chicago with their signature sauce and they also have it in hot sauce as well. read more

The food was TRASH!!!!! The young lady in there has a nasty attitude and needs a reality check. The younger looking young lady was nice but the lil skinny one is TRASH like the food. This was my first time visiting this establishment and I spent A LOT of money. I will not be returning. read more

I only gave one star this isn't my first rodeo...service is always long and rushed. Hubby ordered my Italian beef double dipped with mozzarella & hot peppers and he ordered a combo with cheese dipped no peppers. The put peppers on his sandwich and didn't dip either! The sandwich was dry as the Sahara desert! They also toasted the bread which made it more dry! No au jus or anything! read more

Hienie's Shrimp House - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Everytime I go, the staff is always friendly and the food is delicious! The wings are the perfectly fried and of normal size. Not too small or looking like a turkey wing! Its the perfect size for a chicken ans sometimes they will sneak you an extra wing.. I been going to Hienie's for years (since high school when I moved into the neighborhood) and for some reason the recipe has stayed the same.. flavors delicious.. from the huge slice of pizza, perfectly fried golden shrimp and chicken.. they have other stuff too but thise are my fav! Back in the day they use to have tables where you can sit and eat but they took them out. So you cannot eat in there anymore which is sad. They need to consider bringing it back read more

Hienie's Shrimp House - 4 perfectly fried chicken wings with fries - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hienie's is my favorite community staple. It's been around forever for a reason. The service has improved significantly over the last couple of years. You can always expect it to be busy, but food usually takes no longer than 20 minutes if you order ahead. Food is always made fresh and there's something on the menu for everyone. If you're a local, you likely know all of the daily specials. Our go to's are: chicken, gizzards, onion rings, shrimp, perch....the chicken sandwiches are good too. Throw in a slice of pizza if you're extra hungry. We love this place and are always happy to support! read more

Amazing place but the chicken tenders were hard and burnt. But other than that it was great.

When I say they have some of the freshest chicken I mean it. I like the shrimp but I come for the chicken. They have the best hot sauce, I buy the gallon bottle read more

Very good food!!! I would recommend this to anyone in the Chicago land area!!! I LOVE THE FOOD!!!

We hadn't been in a few years so we made a special trip this evening to get two shrimp dinners. We got the food home, the fries were burnt and the shrimp were over cooked. Thoroughly disappointed. Do not recommend. read more

I got their fried shrimp bag from their food truck when they were downtown, which came with a solid portion of fried shrimp and fries. Love a yummy battered fried shrimp, and I enjoyed this one. I do wish they had funner sauces (I think fried shrimp would go well with a creamy sauce over the hot sauce they have), but generally liked their shrimp and made my tummy and day better to have it for dinner. read more

Chicken and shrimp are good,pizza and Italian beefs are bogus, especially the godfather Italian beef

Fast , fresh, crunchy, chicken, fries and sauce. Haven't tried the pizza but it looks delicious

Best chicken in Chicago land area. They never disappoint. They do get busy but service is fast.

I've been eating there since the mid nineties and they are by far my favorite food still family owned

THE FOOD WAS AMAZEBALLS AND THE CUTOMER SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC!!! The vibes were fantastic and the chicken is unmatched much better than the neighboring chicken shacks. read more

Chicken wings are good "well done" , pizza slices are good too and they sell it whole too. The beef was actually surprisingly decent as well. Great prices, good service. read more

I have been going here since I was a teenager and the only thing that has changed is the prices because of inflation. The customer service has always been great. Try the godfather sandwich. read more

This is a taste of my childhood. I always stop here when I'm back in town. Just wish they'd bring back the old perch pieces.

Some good old style chicken !!!! Also the pie/pizza is great customer service friendly and homey!!

Terrible customer service!!! From the cashier and the manager! Also clean up by the fryers. Be glad people are even coming to your establishment. Do better. read more

Great Place Great Food Pleasant Employees COVID has eased Please return sitting area read more

I've been from Hienie's since I was a kid, and when they had a second location on Commercial Ave. Of course, restaurants do change over time. They have their good days and not so good days. Chicken and shrimp is ok, and the pizza is pretty good too. Their hot sauce is well known and is usually best on EVERYTHING! (I usually buy it from Pete's). Would recommend but the customer service could use work too. read more

Absolutely delicious everything fresh hot chicken No the catfish. Hope to see you soon. Bye Star for me. read more

Hienies is the only place I have been that even when the shrimp are cold they don't get soggy! They have daily specials that are very reasonable and the food is always fresh. Try the chicken wings! Yum! Take out only. read more

Best shrimp and chicken on the mid-west for sure. Hot sauce on the shrimp, chicken, fish and fried are a must. Been a customer for 55 years and love the food! 2 places on Mackinaw, Comercial Ave. Torrence Ave, Sibley Blvd and 143 St. read more

Wonderful Chicken and meals with specials attached. They have been in the neighborhood for a very long time. The owner retired and left it for his children. read more

Excellent food great customer service and quick not a real great neighborhood but it's OK

The employees always look nasty and they don't wear gloves. Against all code not to wear gloves handle food.

I fed a crew of 5 guys for about $65. The food was good, service great and we had leftovers. You really can't find many places like this anymore. read more

Hienie's Shrimp House - Great stuff! - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Shrimps are not heavy battered. Just wish they offered turkey spaghetti instead of beef. Need more side choices if you want a shrimp dinner.

Chicago is a big city! Today we were in...far south side of the Chi-town, but it's in a freak' remote part of Chicago that I rarely touch her footprint. In the middle of nowhere, we saw an "angry bird" graffiti. Yes, it's the logo for Hienie's Shrimp House. Honestly, whatever we saw really resembled the famous angry bird (lol). The entire location is very hole-in-the-wall, with a doubled-caged entrance. Nevertheless, we were hungry, so as much "hood" we were witnessing it wouldn't stop us. Hubby kindly inquired the young man behind the counter if a credit card would be accepted. The answer was positive. Thank you, Lord, because there was no other decent place nearby in the South Deering neighborhood, and I would like to continue my life... We both ordered the Perch dinner ($5.50, Monday's special). The food came out very fast, within five (5) minutes. We soon "fled" the area and were well on our way home (I exaggerated...it is an industrial "hood". Hey, this is Chicago...don't let Al Capone ridicule me, please), The combo came with about half-pound worth of fried perch, fries, one (1) dinner roll, and coleslaw. The fried perch was delicious. They utilized the "blue-collar" breading, meaning that nothing was special about the breading but the taste was down-to-earth yummy. Ladies and gentlemen, I just made that term up. Thank you very much. The hot sauce was very, very spot on! They offered an abundant amount of food for $5.50. I know the Big Mac combo in a McDonald's will cost more. The only minor complaint was the dinner had an awfully large amount of fries and I was mighty thirsty afterward. Well, that was ok though. I'm a big kid, and I could bear with that tiny discomfort. Other than the shadiness I mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs in my review, there was nothing wrong with the joint. If you're coming from the Indiana and experiencing some sort of hunger on the way back to the city, stop here if you dare. read more

Hienie's Shrimp House - freakin' hole in the wall - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered two 10 chicken wings with a pint of heinie sauce and a pound of shrimp. Got home to find out that I had a pan of 20 wings and a order of fries. I called Heinies back and told them that they messed up my order. And they had to check twice to make sure that it was OK for me to bring the food back and get the correct order. When I got to Hienie's the white man behind the counter counted every last chicken wing that was in the bag before throwing it away and then checks the bag for the fries and says it so it wasn't any shrimp in here. They messed up my order and then accuse me of being a thief. I will NEVER go back here. Plus the place was nasty it was full of trash on the floor that the young lady was sweeping up and every time the man opened up the fridge he took his hand and ran it down the side of the fridge. read more

Unfortunately Hienie's is just not a restaurant that I'd recommend. There's nothing special about it & unless desperate I doubt I'd return. The most appealing aspect of the place has to be the extremely low prices in comparison to downtown prices. The sauce is somewhat interesting but it's sweet above all else. Unbeknownst to me you can opt for a special seasoning such as lemon pepper however it's applied after the frying thus leaving little to no flavor. There's a special for every day of the week & nice little novelties such as pizza puffs. I can't speak to the seafood but I can say the chicken was prepared well but far from the best & intriguing. Venture a little further north & be willing to spend a ton MORE $ to be wowed. In closing everything except for my pizza puff was made to order read more
