This is a great place to get fresh seafood in Chicago. This place is a good balance of price and food quality. On one extreme other restaurants charge you an arm and leg for fresh oysters and you can't even afford rent after going home. Other extreme restaurants fry fish for cheap but are takeout and cash only and make you wait forever. This seems like a good balance. There is ample seating, decently clean bathrooms, and quick cooking. Fried oysters feel like melted butter. Their sauces are all pretty good as well.

I'd been coming to this place for the last 50 years or better. I moved out of town an hadn't been here for 8 years. It was even better than I remember. It's not over battered, it was perfectly fried. I had fried shrimp, fried okra, fried mushrooms and fritters/hush puppies. Everything was excellent! Keep up the great work.

First time being here and my experience was horrible, the guy at the front seemed so uninterested about his job. When i asked him if half a pound shrimp would be enough for two, he said “i don’t wanna answer that, i don’t feel like answering.” Then the FOOD TASTED HORRIBLE, i wasn’t expecting the fish to taste fresh but jesus, the taste of this thing was far from tasting good. it tasted like it’s been in and out the freezer and it tasted like a week old fish. and i was tasting cleaning products when i took a bite into the shrimp and the taste of cleaning product was HEAVY, like someone mixed it in with the batter. Couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for hours and felt sick. If it was possible to rate a restaurant 0 stars, this would be my first recommendation, i don’t know if the night time crew just don’t do their job properly but this was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE and i would not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone. DO BETTER so you don’t give your customers food poisoning

Love this place been coming here for 30 years, usially get the jumbo shrimp, but the wing zings (chicken wings) are FIRE, their homemade cocktail sauce and hot sauce are some of the best sauces I've ever had, I will continue to go to this place,

Great seafood place. Fresh. The best part is they’re open 24 hours, so when you come late from out of town there’s still open.

For a great seafood experience dine in or take out, if you are in re area be sure to satisfy your craving for seafood at Lawrence’s. My personal favorites are their shrimp ???? with their house made hot sauce. They have so much to offer the seafood ???? lover and much more! Call in your order in advance as they may be busy at any given moment. The view dining outside is n awesome site of Chicago’s ???? to say the less. Stop by and enjoy yourself, tell em Mr. Brown sent cha! Enjoy! #googleexpertreview #googleexpertphotographer #mrbrownsaid #enjoy

Ordering food at 1-2am when I should be sleeping is my guilty pleasure. The shrimp was yummy, the fries was banging AND they gave me extra sauce when they don’t do that! OK. No complaints when I have Lawrence’s
