Willie BlackFebruary 4, 2017Mostly everything is good I am trying to catfish strips with coleslaw all is well cooked well prepared staff is very special shout out to Rose J server.
Kirstjen LorenzMarch 30, 2018I thought the service was very good. The onion rings were on point. And the coconut shrimp was good, but the regular fried shrimp has a heavy cornbread batter that just doesn't let the shrimp shine.- JC VEGADecember 18, 2014Exceptional shrimp. I sat in and ate there before. I asked the waitress if she had frog legs and she said yes. So I said good...then hop in the kitchen and get me some shrimp. Hahaha
- Leslie RogelJanuary 12, 2015This is my second spot to find the best shrimp in town.. Fish chips are good too ..
If you order a whole order of shrimp on a Bears game day, you get an additional 1/2 order free
Miguel AguileraFebruary 28, 2020Clean place good customer service and polite and shrimp is really good!
Everything is good here. Personally, I'm a fan of the chicken strips. Not overfried or breaded, really quite juicy.
Lawrence's Fish & ShrimpAugust 19, 2013Now serving bottled beers! Corona, Heineken, Leinenkugel Summer Shandy & Stella Artois! Perfect with great seafood! Come in and Enjoy!!
Lucille FisherOctober 21, 2016Fried seafood galore. Open till late or is it 24hrs? Good fried shrimps & fried okra. The fried oysters were disappointing though.
Best Shrimp in Town! Call in order ahead. Great late night/early morning crave option. Onion Rings are Huge and delicious!- Lawrence's Fish & ShrimpJuly 24, 2013A new royal baby in England! Don't let the Brits have all the fun - celebrate with some great Fish & Chips at Lawrence's!
Julia KwanFebruary 8, 2014Fried oysters are still good, but not as juicy as they were 20 years ago...however, the fried catfish still got it 👌
Marcus McIntoshJuly 4, 2013Home town favorite. The only place I know where you can drink the hot sauce.- Lawrence's Fish & ShrimpSeptember 25, 20139/28: National Drink Beer Day! Heineken, Stella, Corona, Sam Adams....with Shrimp? Fantastic!!
J WilliamsMay 28, 2021Tasty but quite expensive! Know what you want before you go. Use their contactless, online options. It makes it faster.
Lawrence's is the business!! Can't go wrong with the shrimp and scallops
Bryce JensenAugust 28, 2015Shrimp is great, stay away from the chicken strips, they look pale and sickly
Cassandra DixonAugust 31, 2015I absolutely love you Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp! Check out Freebie today!
Tamiko PhiferJuly 10, 2012crowd ghetto Fabulous. Food was cool! Service was cool. Need sumthing heavy to soak up the alcohol 4am in the morn!
There are times I feel like it's pointless to call in your order...you shouldn't have to wait when you call in AND give them an Estimated Time of Arrival...#FAIL!!!

"Some of the best shrimp in Chicago. The shrimp are not heavily breaded and they are cooked perfectly. I only wish I could get some fresh cut fries to go with them. Lol!"
