Family friendly , delicious brunch every Sunday from 11:30 to 1:30pm!!! So worth it and kids under 12 are free! The warm king crab legs are the best!
Woah I just went to Shaw's for brunch !! All you can eat oysters , crab legs , shrimp cocktails . Oh yeah they have standard breakfast foods & desserts as well but you go for fresh sea food of course!
The lobster bisque is perfect. But the Alaskan king crab legs are a MUST!! Our waitress Danielle was the perfect host even treated us to complimentary slice of key lime pie ... Will be back definitely
Wow! What amazing seafood and fantastic service! Echoing the below: king crab legs are to die for, and all the rest was a true feast for the palate! Live music completes the experience.
Come for brunch and get the chilled crab legs , oysters , spicy tuna maki , bacon , eggs benedict , mini crab cakes , steamed king crab legs , waffles , and a key lime tort ... In that order.
An absolute classic. New patio (because of Covid-contingency) and same quality of food! Lobster bisque , clam chowder , oysters and seafood platter our selections. Super friendly attention.
Amazing atmosphere: If you come here, you'll listen to live music with songs from Al Green while tasting delicious seafood . Order the king crab legs ; you won't regret it. Scallops are a bit overrated.
Great atmosphere, excellent seafood and one of the best oyster happy hour in Chicago. Aside from discounted oysters , they also have a special happy hour food/drinks menu-everyday from 4-6pm.
Great service, wonderful cocktails , and the Crab is a must!
Old school and cozy . Love the vibe. Come in, take a right, and sidle up to the oyster bar . Dare you to break a 6:1 oyster to martini ratio.
We ordered the hot platter for 2. Was amazing!!! If you want to try the best of the Restaurant ! Also the waiter recommend us the butterscotch pudding dessert !! Its a must!!! Love it everything
Elderflower martini is amazing. Perfectly balanced. Services is very friendly and the food is amazing. Best lobster and crab I've had this year. We will come back here every time we come to Chicago.
Best seafood I have had being in the mid west Chicago. Classy / up scale. Good for dates . I loved their crab leg bites. Yum!! Will definitely come again some day.
Súper friendly attention and top quality seafood options . New England clam chowder and a delicious fish dressed with blue lobster sauce , my options. Great place!
Eat here on your expense account. Prices are high. The lobster bisque is seasoned very nicely but there’s not a lot of lobster in it. The griddled Shrimp were very good. Potatoes an gratin also tasty.
When craving seafood ...this is where you want to dine! Lobster , Oysters , Chowder even sushi ! On Sundays-brunch is accented with live blues band. Part of Lettuce Entertain You group. Enjoy!
For a brunch buffet , Shaw’s game is strong. This brunch is a seafood lover’s dream. We knock a half point off because if you aren’t into seafood , you are limited in options. Read more
Every once in a while you pass by a place like this where everything you eat is phenomenal! We started with the oysters , simplicity at its best.

Come here for oysters , lobster bisque , crab legs , live music , cold drinks, and lively company. ♡
No matter what - leave room for dessert ! Make sure you add vanilla bean ice cream to the raspberry pie - makes it taste a lot more special!
The Ahi Tuna tacos are delicious...whatever that sauce is made out of, it's perfection!

Awesome lobster bisque , raw oysters , crab , maki , and cocktails !
Everything is good. Especially if you're a crab lover! I was surprised to find sushi here!! A very welcome surprise!
Incredible garlic shrimp , tuna tartar and popcorn lobster . Super mood and great service, thanks!
Everything we ordered was good! Get the seafood combination ????????????
Everything here is awesome! Try the oyster sampler; a nice variety of east and west coast oysters !
If you like king crab , get it here. Wonderful. Also a wide variety of sushi actually, which was unexpected.
Don’t overlook fish , both ocean and freshwater. One bite of pumpkinseed-encrusted roasted red grouper or mustard-glazed walleye is all it takes. Finish up with a slice of their heavenly raspberry pie . Read more
Grilling and a simple vinaigrette showcase sustainable wild Alaskan King salmon 's lean, meaty flavor, complimented by an herby salad of arugula , fingerling potato coins and shaved parmesan . Read more
Awesome raw oysters (all kinds...), and cocktails too.
Get the shrimp cocktail , served on a mountain of ice. The portions are huge here and the food is high quality. We'll definitely be back (with reservations next time).
Lovely brunch selection , except the oysters and the sushi - try to avoid that, not their best.
The reward for a clean plate: a sweets table loaded with freshly spun cotton candy , lollipops , cakes and cookies . (Bonus for you: Kids eat free with a paying adult.) Read more
When the name is engraved in the plate you know they make a good martini .
Pricey but solid seafood options . Try the lobster roll or the weekend AYCE seafood brunch .
My favorite Sunday Brunch spot in Chicago! A+ Food and A+ Service and kids eat free !
The servers are trained to really upsell here. Casual questions about ordering more. ordering oyster samplers is a bad idea. You'll get a few good ones/mostly small ones Food's pretty good though.
Amazing service! Great selections, really good food. Come hungry, the $50pp is worth it
A place with a Sunday brunch special , kids 12 and under eat for free from a hot buffet line featuring breakfast items such as the make-your-own omelet and waffle kitchen. Read more
Excellent Chicago vibe. Had nothing that wasn't good here. Ask for recommendations for oysters .
Best Sunday brunch in the city ! Something for everyone
The showiness of this place reels us in, in large part because Shaw's deals with only top-quality stuff---much of it sustainable. The crab cakes are first-rate, as is the lobster . Read more
Shaw's Annual Lobster Festival (June-July 2010): Traditional East Coast style "Lobster Boil" includes a 1lb whole Maine Lobster , with corn on the cob, Red Bliss potatoes , and coleslaw for only $21.99!
Oysters ! Had a wonderful dozen, six different pairs, selected by the chef . Wow.
Awesome oyster happy hour until 6pm. They know how to shuck an oyster ...
The grouper is excellent. Comes with squash that is very good as well . I will definitely come back here!
Love the service and the Gavana Dream pie - like tres leches in pie form - Smith Powell
Chicken and waffles with side of Tabasco and bloody Mary = perfection - Shelley J
Fresh and pristine seafood at an affordable price point doesn’t have to be a rare catch. This casual lunch spot reels in diners with an assortment of fish, shrimp, lobster rolls, and more. - John Shrimp
Great place for an evening snack and drink. Pasole is very good and the Pulled Pork has just enough heat (but not too much). Sit outside. - Chris Judson
Great vibe with live jazz band! The cajun shrimp was magnificent! - Niloo Izadi
