I feel bad for Rogers Park and Evanston if this is their Go-To for seafood! And The shrimp are smaller and more expensive than just about every other popular seafood spot in the Chicagoland. I ordered 1lb of Shrimp, 1lb of Fish Chips, and Half Pound of Hush Puppies for over $50 and they dont even give you 1 complimentary sauce with your food! The batter had barely any taste and was the same for the Fish and Shrimp. It also came out over cooked. I would never suggest this place to anyone.

Visited after many years of not going here, was in the old neighborhood decided to stop in. Nothing like it use to be 30, 40,50 years ago, Nice big pieces of fish, with chips. for a reasonable price. Now, small pieces of over breadded fish, mostly breadding. For prices they are charging now, you would think the sauces would come with it and fries with pieces of bread or rolls, like the old days. I am not sure why they are still in business, the people in the neighborhood, loyalty I guess. What a dissappointment, coming from way north suburban to go here. Was a total waste of Money. Never More, to quote, edgar AlleN Poe, The Raven. NEVER MORE.

Stopped by The Fish Keg today and had a great experience. The place has a classic, old-school charm that makes it feel like a local favorite. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. I tried the fish fry, and it was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly. The seafood selection looked impressive, with plenty of options available. Everything tasted homemade and high quality. The portions were generous, and the food was prepared fresh to order. If you’re looking for authentic fried fish, shrimp, chicken, or seafood, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. A hidden gem with great food, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll be back again! Highly recommended!

This is one of those classic spots that’s perfect for grabbing seafood to go 🦐 Even though the prices are a bit on the higher side 💸, the flavor definitely makes it worth it. I tried the shrimp and scallops, and the scallops really stood out-they were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender inside 😋 There’s also a nice sense of nostalgia tied to this place for me ❤️ My father used to come here often when he was a kid, so stopping by feels a bit special every time I’m in the area. It’s like a tradition I’ve picked up myself. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re craving tasty seafood and a bit of that old-school charm 🌊✨

Being a Catholic from Pittsburgh, I'm a sucker for a good fish fry Friday. I pass their sweet neon sign most days driving to work, so had to give them first nod for Lent! Decided on the fish chips and fries, both were great! Fish chips were hot, crunchy and flaky on the inside, pairing well with their house tartar, or just malt vinegar! Looking forward to trying the walleye or the shrimp next time. I can see how they made it 75 years; well done!
