Captain B’s Shrimp House

If u can’t make it to gulf, Goose or Frank’s this is the next best place n I never hav any problems when I come here to me folks feel when they spend a certain amount of money on food they expect folks to really bow down but when u walk n with a attitude how do u expect a person to react like they ain’t never spent money b4 geesh

My customer service experience is the main reason for my rating one star for service and another for the food, because they are close to my home I decided to give them a try but that wont ever happen again, mind you I called in my order… the order was read back to me and was still wrong when I went into the so called establishment… The restaurant is so unlite that its like going into a dark alley all the other businesses are closed down. But I was looked at with an attitude, when I asked for another bag because the associate stuffed all my food in one bag, I got a huff and puff mind you im spending 30+ dollars on fish and shrimp. I was not comfortable nor did I appreciate the attitude of the so called person at the register, and I wasnt even thanked for my business, not to pull the race card but the tension was thick, and I wont ever go to cicero for shrimp again, now my shrimp were good but the smelt were overcooked and dry and i asked for 2 fries and was told i only ordered one after the order was read back to me as 2 fries over the phone smh I ordered a shrimp salad to replace the fries which was 2 bucks its like a scoop of that coleslaw people put in trays to make up for space very small and I had to buy a whole sleeve of crackers for that lil thing, they should give you crackers for free lol i mean cmon… In short there are many Shrimp restaurants throughout the city there just alil distance and I decided to try Captain Bs but Captain Bs sucks in my opinion based on customer services alone. I cant spend my $$$$ in a place that wont Thank me for my business… Besides everyone knows Goose Island is far better, next time ill take that trip u may read those old reviews and say im tripping but that was years ago its a new time in 2015.

Great jumbo shrimp. Very good wings. Boring fries. Great service. I’ll be back for more!

We ordered the fried scallops, fried shrimp and fried catfish. The breading was good, but a tad thick for my liking. Really crispy though and had a good chew to it.
The scallops were tender and sweet. I would totally get the again if I went back.
The regular (as opposed to jumbo) shrimp, in my opinion, tasted off. Like they were frozen and then thawed and then sat around for a day before use. They weren’t bad, they just weren’t that good. My spouse on the other hand thought they were fine. Who knows, maybe they had an off night.
The catfish was pretty decent.
I wasn’t a fan of their sauce that accompanies the fried fish items. It was really watery and kind of tasted like cheap ketsup.
The guy behind the counter was really nice and the place was super clean.
All in all, I may go back to try it again. Like I said, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t that great.
The prices are very fair for what you get.
**You should know they do not take credit or debit cards, but there is an ATM in the waiting area**This is not a sit down place. You order your food at the counter and then you go. No tables**Ample parking

SHRIMP!!! By the boat load. Seriously I’m a picky shrimp and seafood person to satisfy but this place on Roosevelt Rd. in Cicero is a wonderful in and out place to grab some tasty shrimp. It’s got a great menu and it’s really good if you want something quick and that will fill you up. Hope you’ll give it a try.
