Used to be the best chicken. Now it’s a shame they closed.I asked on Facebook if they permanently closed and they left me on read, twice. Sign saying they will open back on 6/22 has been up for a while, and it’s 7/12 now.

Fresh fried food, big shrimp, breading is light and easily falls off. The fries are fresh cut just but flavor is okay and serving size is on the smaller size. Pricing is more reasonable than other seafood eateries. 1/2 pound of shrimp dinner can easily feed (2). I wished had more healthier options to choose from but a great place to go for a cheat meal.

I love there food haven't eaten here since covid started mainly because I haven't been out a whole lot! I love eating local and I try to do it as often as possible because Calumet city keeps loosing all of are businesses. I have to say the woman who was in there today was very friendly and had me in and out. I even enjoyed the little bit of small talk she had lately i try to have small talk while I'm in restaurants waiting and people lack customer service to the point that they deliberately kinda just ignore it a little rude if I must say! There shrimp are good there sauces are tasty and they do have a good variety. I really enjoyed there alligator when I tried it awhile back as well. If you are in the area Give these guys a shot the food is good and the customer service is A1.

The perch I ordered near closing time was lightly cooked and tasted weird plus it was whitish in color and not crispy at all.The shrimp was good though.It should be noted the waitress was helpful

The Shack has been a regular stop for my Dad and I who love shrimp and fish, and the food is always good. Would have given them a five ( * ) it the Milk Shake machine wasn't down so much ( cause I love the salted caramel shake ).
I must say this is the best Shrimp and Chicken place in Calumet City!!!! My girlfriend and I was looking for something to eat when we came across The Shack Shrimp & Chicken. The staff is very friendly. The portions that we received were big and the price was just right. We order a 1b of shrimp, a poor boy shrimp sandwich and the chicken tenders and shrimp combo. The chicken was fresh juicy and tender. The shrimp were large and seasoned to perfection. Peter was amazing!!!! Definitely recommend this place!!!!!! Next time I will take pics, it's all gone lol.

Alligator, gulf shrimp, fries and hush puppies were all delicious. Generous portions for reasonable prices in a wwll-kept Black owned Louisiana style spot. I was 100% satisfied.

Drove in from Cleveland Ohio. We chose this spot because it was on our way to hotel. First time, but not our last. The place was pristine clean so we stayed to eat. The food was piping hot, hearty servings and tasty!! Loved it. An immediate favorite!!
