What an amazing gem! A very comfortable atmosphere, beautiful decor, amazing staff! We were greeted at the the door by Tim, an... amazing connoisseur of life, seafood and adventures! We asked for suggestions on menu items, wonderful story for each menuitem. All the food we tried was amazing. Humble fresh ingredients elevated to amazing items. Delicious starter salad! Heirloomtomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and basil. A lovely scented rich cup of shrimp bisque. Thick and velvety. You can taste thickrich bisque, slow cooked for days! Main entree delicious Oscar Salmon, lovely crispy skin salmon. Fresh asparagus with delicatehollandaise sauce, with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. My husband had the tavern fish fry. Light sweet cod, deep fried withperfect French fries, the fries are tossed with parsley. Lastly delicious crème brûlée ????????. The crème brûlée is madewith real vanilla beans, no imitation vanilla. Topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream. We have to come back to try all themenu items!! YOU MUST TRY THIS RESTAURANT!!!? Dine-in a much better experience than ordering pickup!

Would always see this place driving towards Orland Park for the past 2 years, finally went in today and wasn't disappointed. I'm... sure everything is good, but my friend and I tried the homemade clam chowder and shrimp bisque with garlic bread and corn breadto start. They were both great! Then we got 1/2 peel shrimp (Diablo sauce), lobster roll, and tavern style fish and chips andeverything was so tasty and just right. 10/10! Read more
Let me start by saying the hunt is over for me. I have searched and searched the Chicagoland area for years and I finally found... the quintessential lobster roll. My words can't describe what I tasted, it was so good. The lobster roll, "the beast from theeast", which I split with my girlfriend and really didn't want too was harmony in my mouth, from the new england style bun thatwas lightly buttered and toasted, to the 12 ounce or more of lobster with a light mayo and a little bit of crunch. I ate this soslow to savor the taste as I never wanted it to end. Once I was done with that, I moved on to the lobster Mac and cheese. I donteven like Mac and cheese and this was an explosion of cheese accompanied by chunks of lobster. They don't put little pieces likethese other places, they put chunks of lobsters. Finally, which I am glad I waited last for was the New England Clam Chowder. Iam not joking when I say this, it was the best clam chowder I have ever had and the flavor was parallel to none. It was the soupthat kept giving and I never wanted it to end. Big pieces of clams and good flavor. One thing I can say about all these disheswas they were made with tender love and care and they were not over salty, very clean and healthy tasting. Tim the owner whichI talked too for 15 min on the phone and another 10 min in the restaurant is a great business owner. Truly cares about hiscustomers all while pumping out quality food. I truly felt like family when I walked in Island Shrimp House. Tim greeted me atthe door and shook my hand. I have never found a business owner like this on the south side of Chicago. I wish other businesseswould take notes from Tim and his family cause they truly understand what hospitality is and I could see that as they had a lineof customer waiting to come in before they even opened. A+++++ establishment please dont change continue to run your businesslike this consistently and i will be a cusotmer for life. I take my hat off to this f Read more

The service was amazing from the minute I walked thru the door, however, the food was even more awesome. The creme brulee for... dessert, I would drive back everyday for. I tried the blackened Pollock sandwich (first time trying this type of fish), oh mygoodness the best, and the flavor..oh my goodness! Also, I'm not a huge tomato person but tried the heirloom tomatoes in theensalada caprese that was on the daily special menu, it was perfect!!! Oh yea, the waiter recommended the clam chowder for astarter but I didn't want to be to full, in order to enjoy everything, sooo, I got a bowl to go. It was great too! I wasreally impressed with everything. I can't wait to go back. Read more
