My…read moresister was doing my hair and said we should get some seafood from this place that Mama has been to. Seafood is life so I said absolutely. Once we were done we headed over there. When we went in there isn't anywhere to really sit and when you walk in you wouldn't think greatness come from there but boy was I wrong.We ordered and we were told it would be about 20-30mins. So while we waited to went to a few other stores. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and friendly I was confused on what flavor I should get and I asked could I do 3 flavors and he told me what ever I want. I ordered the 1lb crab and 1/2 lb shrimp with Lemon Pepper, Old Bay and Cajun. When we received the food we checked it and it smelled so good and I didn't know it came with Corn, Potatoes and Broccoli. Once I made it home my food was warm at no fault to them just I had a few errands to run before making it home. Even being warm it was still amazing. My favorite part was the Broccoli. I could have a whole pan of that alone. But EVERYTHING was amazing. Price Point was average for Seafood and you already I want to try something new or different the next time I go because I will be back.

Calumet Fisheries is a true bucket list foodie spot. First off the services is always 100% amazing…read more The aroma of woodsmoke hits you the second you step out of your car. Located right next to the historic 95th Street Bridge, this little roadside shack serves up pure comfort food. While the smoked fish gets plenty of fame, their fried menu is just as amazing. The fried shrimp are huge, golden, perfectly crisp, and never greasy. Even unique options like the fried oysters and smelts are clean and beautifully prepared. Every order comes hot and fresh with fries and slaw. It's a beautifully raw, historic experience that has stayed perfect for decades. Free street parking available. 100% recommend!!

Yesterday (7/18/26) the Mrs. & myself went to the south east side to get some of this smoked fish…read more I haven't been here since I was a kid. Literally!! It was raining on the way there but that didn't stop us. Parking on the street is limited but they do have a lot that you can park in. The crowd was a steady flow of people. It's pretty small on the inside. It looks like a small fish monger/ butcher style type of place. Smokes fish on one side, fried seafood on the side. You order your fried food first then you can order the smoked fish. The young men were very nice and friendly. They move the crowd pretty quickly. We were there about 15 minutes tops!! We ordered a full order of fried shrimp, half order of fried smelts, 1 lb of pepper/ garlic smoked salmon & a half lb of smoked sturgeon. The fried shrimp were fresh and delicious. I've had better fried shrimp in the city but these were definitely delicious. Seasoned, Flavorful crunchy coating, sweet mild shrimp an easy 8.7/10. The fried smelts were also fresh tasting, flaky inside, seasoned crust on the outside. Fried perfectly!! We really enjoyed them. 9/10! I wish I had gotten tartar sauce for them instead of hot sauce. The Pepper/ garlic smoked salmon was also top tier! Served cold like revenge it was wasn't over smoked but the perfect amount of smoke. A slice of lemon would definitely take it up further! You traditionally eat it with saltine crackers (we brought our on. They charge $1.09 for a crackers) which makes it so much better. 9.4/10. Next time we'll bring a lemon which would make it a 10/10. The smoke sturgeon was fatty and mild. Nice and meaty with a slight sweetness almost the flavor of crab. A lemon slice would've been nice for this dish as well to help cut the richness of the fat & the smoke but it's still an easy 9.7/10. We enjoyed every bite of this meal! I spent $76 and some change for the meal. And told them to keep the $3 and change for their tip jar. Total $80 bucks well worth it! If you haven't been here make a trip on the southeast side of town and visit them. Calumet Fisheries is more closer to 4.8 stars Remember ALL reviews are SUBJECTIVE!

I decided on a 10 piece party wing combo with buffalo sauce. For $10.99 it came with fries and two pieces of toasted white bread in total. My only complaint was that I had to pay 75 cents extra just for ranch and ketchup which is sort of nickel and diming you, but the fact that it's salad ranch packets and not actual legit ranch made for wings is what was a bummer. I'd still return to try some other things on their menu! Great seafood selections for great prices!

Corn, broccoli, potatoes, rice, and two large fillets, and this was the "small." Wow. What was not so great: One of the garlic butters leaked. The smell was really good. Everything was sprinkled with hot red powder, either pepper or hot paprika. Too hot for me. I will rinse the leftovers before eating. I must be the only South Shore resident who doesn't like hot pepper. Next time I will ask them to leave off the sprinkle. Surprisingly, my husband is still chowing down, and usually he is the one who can't eat hot food. The food really is very good.

Hmm, where to start. I ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs with sausage. When I opened the tray I had 2…read moreclusters of snow crab not 2lbs and no sausage. When I went to opening the crab legs there was no meat in them. If they would've weighted it which I assumed they did, they would've realized I wasn't receiving 2lbs of snow crab more like a pound of shell. A whole leg came with a half knuckle size of meat. Maybe they overcooked it, i dont know. They also wouldn't put any of the juice or boil in a separate container for dipping the crab meat. Most establishments charge you for sauce on the side which I was willing to pay for but the lady behind the counter refused. It was a very disappointing experience, and honestly they probably got these snow crab from a Costco or wherever they sell them in stores. If people are paying money for snow crab please ensure the snow crab has meat in them.

Pete's saved my daughter's graduation party!…read more I don't live in Chicago anymore. But most of my huge family still lives on the South Side. My daughter just graduated college, and we had the party planned for last Saturday. Long story short......my phone died while at the Cubs game on Friday. Woke up downtown on Saturday to a message that the place I had planned to cater from couldn't do it (nice....but that's for another review). I called Pete's. Becky in Customer Service couldn't have been more accommodating. This place is incredible - I really wish we had a Pete's in So Cal! Picked up all the food (even had fresh baked rolls right out of the oven). I had a lot of family asking where I catered from. I told them the story (and found out the place I was originally going to cater from has gone DOWNHILL in quality - so everything happens for a reason). All I can say is the food was INCREDIBLE. Mostaccioli with marinara sauce, sausage and peppers, Italian sliced beef, broasted chicken - amazing! I'm fairly certain Pete's has won my family's catering needs. At least I hope so!! Shout out again to Becky from Pete's in Customer Service who went out of her way to make this an incredible party!
