Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp, located at 50 S Mannheim Rd in Hillside, IL, has garnered a loyal following thanks to its exceptional seafood offerings. Patrons rave about their jumbo shrimp, often declaring it the best they’ve ever tasted. Derrick Matthews even travels from Carol Stream, a testament to the restaurant’s unbeatable fried shrimp. The Catfish Strips, crispy and flavorful, alongside sustainably sourced Crunchy Cod, highlight the diverse menu, ensuring there’s something for every seafood lover. The Ocean Perch and Whitefish Chips remain staples, delighting customers with their freshness. The atmosphere is welcoming, beautifully updated yet cozy, though the limited seating may mean a bit of a wait—something diners are willing to endure for the quality food. Seasonal promotions, like the buy one get one shrimp deal, only add to the allure. Autumn Davis notes that even a 30-minute wait is worthwhile when the dish arrives hot and satisfying. Don't overlook their housemade desserts, especially the Banana Pudding and Caramel Cake, perfect for a sweet finish. With excellent customer service to boot, Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp is more than just a meal; it’s a culinary experience that patrons return for time and again.

Lawrence's is always on point. If you have a taste for fried shrimp, any other option out there is a distant second compared to Lawrence's. I travel from Carol Stream even though there are other options closer to me.

The absolute best Jumbo Shrimp in my opinion. Buy it by the pound. Tuesdays has a great discount... Always amazing customer service at this location.

Best fried shrimp around. I drive over 75 miles just to get their shrimp. That's how good they are. I highly recommend Lawrence's.

For as long as I can remember my family has gone to the Canal Street location. Glad to see this location has the same great taste. It has a very nice updated interior but not too many tables. There was a buy one get one sale on their amazing shrimp when I went. Be prepared to wait if there is a special. Even with a 30 minute wait it was hot thankfully. Be sure to get their hot sauce!!

Loved coming to this restaurant first of all coming in its super clean i love the floors i love the authentic of the restaurant. The women working here were super friendly and helpful with selecting sauces and meal selections The food was soooo good Love the Jalapeno ranch sauce it really turned that meal around for me. It was already good to begin with but that sauce over all 5 stars

It is always a great experience from ordering online to picking up the food at this location. I have ordered a lot of times and every single time, I always get my food without any issue and very delicious! We don't go back to places that don't care about how they serve the food to their customers so for us to go here time and time again says a lot!
