Reviews for The Fish Keg in Chicago, IL
Classic place serving up seafood to go. The food is slightly expensive but it's very tasty. I had shrimp and scallops, and the... scallops in particular were delicious, fried to perfection. My father went here frequently when he was a child and when I'm inthe area I always make a stop. Read more
This is a take out spot. Seafood options, plain or breaded, sold by the pound and can be fried on the spot. Side items and... Dips are available for additional prices. Not sure what all the options are. Prices are a bit high for the QUALITY and PORTIONsizes of foods put out. Catfish nuggets fell flat on taste. Also, they fried up to little crunchy breaded fish bits and pieces.The hush puppies were over fried and fried in same fish grease making them taste like old fried crunchy fish balls instead ofhush puppies. Ate a few pieces of each and trashed the rest. Dissatisfied and disappointed at the fact that this is the onlyfried fish spot I know north. Needless to say, I will not be back. My experience was lackluster so there isn't much for me torecommend. Quite frankly, I'm skeptical of the recent 5 star reviews. I can assure you that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 5 starabout the Fish Keg, PeriodT. All or most of products used can be purchased at your local grocer. *Dips that should becomplimentary to the paying customer are available for a fee. Read more
We love fish keg. Monty and his family are great. Their sides are something we order even without ordering fish.
Fish keg is a legendary Chicago staple. Best quality and cleanest fried fish and shrimp in the city. my brother loves the 1/2... chicken deal too Read more
Great little family owned spot. Food cooked to order and sides made from scratch. Everything was delicious. I tried the Cajun... catfish nuggets and a couple chicken wings and everything was tasty and crispy. It?s awesome finding these place still exist.I?ll be back. Read more
So good! Its a classic & they've been around forever. But, man those prices keep going up. Love the fried shrimp and... vinegar cole slaw Read more
Great hidden place. I have been eating there since I was a kid (50 years or so). The shrimp or chicken in a bag are the BOMB!... Scallops or clam strips too! You eat in your car or take it home because its takeout only. Read more
Fish is fresh and the shrimp cocktail excellent-one of our favorite places for many years!
