For over 40 years, Shaw’s Crab House has been a Chicago seafood institution. From fresh shellfish to signature crab and steakhouse favorites, experience our classic menu in the comfort of your home.
The Sea Bass was Delicious! However, it was thee smallest portion of fish (maybe 4oz?)which was unexpected for the price($51!) the seafood gumbo was ok but I couldn't tell if it was fish in the gumbo or chicken, and there was no other seafood in it. The tuna was great, the sautéed spinach was delish, and the truffle potatoes were amazing!

Whether dining in or carrying out this is the type of quality you expect from shows lobster bisque is delicious. The carrots add an exciting and surprising blend to the chunks of lobster. And the salad is legendary with fresh avocados, olives, chunks of lobster, shrimp, and crab..

In town for the week for work and got the Shaw's Signature Seafood Salad to go with clam New England Clam Chowder. OMG. So good! I'm allergic to shrimp and they accommodated removing shrimp and adding more crab. There is even lobster in this salad. Best splurge while on expense budget! Would love to come and eat at this restaurant next time -- there will be a next time :)

so extremely disappointed. their California sushi roll is TINY...don't be fooled by the picture. The New England Lobster Roll is way bland, small, and overpriced. should've gone to Lure for much better quality and decent sized portions (Lobster roll 2x the size for the same $) won't ever return.

Very disappointed with the lobster rolls. Not on a bun but soggy toast. Should have been butter instead of mayo. Bisque was good. Key lime pie was good but what a tiny piece. I expect more from Shaw's as well as Lettuce Entertain You.
