Frank’s Shrimp & Chicken

I’m a recent suburbanite who just moved out from the city. The food choices around here are horrendous. Perhaps, I’m spoiled a bit with fantastic cuisine options that is what defines Chicago, but if I go to eat, it’s almost always in the city.
This place is awesome. I had a walleye poo-​boy and my wife had the 4-​piece chicken meal. Everything about our meal was fantastic. The fish was fresh and the batter was well done. I’ve seen some reviews that the batter probably should utilize a bit more spices and I’d agree, but I wasn’t disappointed at all. Fries were fresh and delicious.
My wife, a vegetarian for years, has a pallet of a 12 year old when it comes to chicken, but her taste buds were absolutely enthralled with delight with the chicken. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the cooking oil was clean. Fantastic. Oh, it came with garlic bread, cole slaw and fries. All of which were delicious.
My only gripe is this place isn’t open late. Would love to ditch White Castle for my drunk nights and come here. I’m a fan.

We really enjoy this place. Everything we’ve had thus far has been great:
Shrimp po’ boy, scallops, fish n chips, buffalo shrimp dinner, etc
Have not had their fried chicken yet, but we will be giving that a try, too, and will report back.
One suggestion, though: sweet potato fries go best with po’ boys!!!

Went here on a Thursday night. The place was packed. Service was great. And the food was amazing! Boyfriend had the jumbo shrimp, daughter had the fried chicken, and I had the chicken strips. Everyone was so happy with their dinners!

The food at Frank’s is good. I usually go here about once a month and for the most part I have no complaints. Occasionally they can be inconsistent with their items (amounts given, how well done the food is, etc) and sometimes the kids working can be rude but I usually overlook that because it is such a convenient place for me to stop and quickly get food.

Family had chicken tenders, fries, and hush puppies and I had the grilled scallop dinner. Everything was fresh, hot and tasted great. Will definitely go back.

Always good — chicken is extra moist and cooked just right. Seafood is fresh and bought from a local market every morning. Reasonable prices — Great family owned biz with great food.

This place is awesome! Unbelievable quality. Everything is made fresh. The breading is so crispy and thin on anything fried. Grilled items cooked perfectly. Soups, fries, and hush puppies are so good too. Its all excellent. Great service! They seem to truly care, and will do anything to make the customer happy.

If you are in the mood for a good shrimp or fish dinner this is your place. A small store located in a small shopping center but the food is not small in taste and freshness. The key is that every thing is made to order, yes, you can call ahead because at certain times during the year, the wait can be long and out the door. We have had the Chicago Style Shrimp dinner served with ½ pound of shrimp, coleslaw, fries, garlic bread and sauce. We really do not have a place in the southern suburbs that serves fresh fish such as Halibut, grilled and for a low price that is not seen at any restaurant, the price is right for this portion of fish. Scallops are grilled, walleye, lake smelt, frog legs, the list goes on and on.

Superb seafood! Simply the best. Freshest catch around. Order the fried shrimp– they are top notch gulf shrimp. The owner, Frank, and staff are friendly and care about their customers.

Great local place for large portions of fresh; not frozen seafood at a very reasonable price. Love the cod over rice from there and it’s less $ than Culver’s cod basket.

Had the jumbo Shrimp dinner which included about six shrimps, fries, cole slaw and garlic bread. The shrimp was tasty and perfectly seasoned (not salty).
Garlic bread was buttery.

This establishment HAS to be writing its own reviews or at least paying people to give them a thumbs up.
I was not a happy customer. I’ve been to Franks three times and all three visits were the same. The KIDS working in there were rude, the prices are high, and the quantity of food they give is just not worth it in my opinion. I payed $ 12.50 for a couple of pieces of jumbo shrimp with a child’s handful of fries. (The catfish dinner gives you one filet and it’s $ 7.95)
I won’t be going back

I LOVE this place and have tried many of the various fish offerings! Always fresh and always cooked to simple perfection. The folks are super friendly and orders are ready in a flash. All I want now is a baked potato and some broccoli as my sides … and I would not mind paying more for that.

Decided to stop by Franks for lunch today. This was just my second visit. Went with the fried scallop dinner. It was delicious! This place is making me very happy with some killer seafood. Don’t know what I’ll try next time, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

we just had a party for about 100 people and ordered the catering package for about 150 and the food was excellent. Chicken, beef, mostaciolli, potato salad, cole slaw and buns. everybody loved it. they dont deliver but they loaded up my car and were very happy and couterias. all for about $ 3 a person. thanks Frank’s. we’ll be calling again soon.

I řekly like Franks jumbo shrimp you can get it deep fried or grilled. the fish is very good too, this is a takeout joint but seats are ať the window. The seats face west so the sun will be in your eyes ať dinner time

Great food. Call ahead for faster service

Awesome shrimp! The shrimp are huge and the cocktail sauce is amazing, the best I’ve ever had. I have to check out their fish, if I can stop ordering the shrimp, it’s just delicious! They also have really good coleslaw.

Being stuck in a softball tournament nearby, we needed some REAL food to energize our kids. Franks hit the spot! It’s a small place with counter seating. It looks like the seafood counter at a grocery store with all kinds of fresh fish ready to go. (They also have fresh frog legs of you’re into that kind of grub!). Salmon, cod, tilapia, grouper, orange roughy, shrimp, etc. it’s all there fresh, ready to be grilled, blackened or fried. The po boy was outstanding!
Don’t miss this little hole in the wall spot!

Fresh and cooked to order. Chicken is also good.
