The king of fried food!!!
So not sure why a place here in Chicago has the best fried shrimp, fish and scallops I have ever had, but they do. We also enjoyed the mushrooms and hushpuppies...... all deep fried.
The place is immaculately clean, small with nearly no seating other than one table and a bar by the window. Did take-out which they weighed and cooked to order. I would recommend take-out.
An unusually good find in an unusual location, but a real gem.
I know it's not your fault, Snappy. I know. But I am still shaken from the tragic evening that included getting some of your fried treats. As I was leaving the restaurant this evening, my husband and I saw a dog playfully running away from it's owner... down Irving Park. We tried to help the guy catch it but... that poor dog didn't stand a chance and was run over. Many times. I cried.
I got my Snappy's home and couldn't eat for a while (for obvious reasons). When my stomach finally outgrowled my residual smashed doggie horror (I had only had carrots all day... I'm only human), I sampled some of our goodies.
We had shrimp, fish, chicken wings and mushrooms.
Fish: pretty good. Breading could have been crispier
Shrimp: better than the fish. Nice and crispy.
Chicken wings: spicy and yum.
Mushrooms: the WORST mushrooms I've ever had. Under fried, soggy... we each tried one bite then threw the bag in the garbage.
Hot sauce: kinda yuck. It's rather like a spicy BBQ sauce. I know that no shrimp place will have hot sauce as good as Lawrence's... but just a LITTLE more effort would be appreciated.
I am trying not to let the canine tragedy affect my review. Trying really hard. Honestly, I can't give a 4 star review because of those mushrooms. They were really that bad.
I'll order again... sans mushrooms and with a bottle of Lawrence's sauce.
Public service announcement: please people, for the love of God... keep your pets on a leash. Please. I am hugging my cats extra tight tonight.
Snappy's is a great place to get some fried seafood in Northcenter. The first plus, obviously, is that they sell food by the pound. That's just a big fat plus in my book. But, for this trip, and to preserve some modesty, I ordered their Crabcake Sandwich (which a friend recommended), and some fried calamari, with a (small) side of cole slaw. Within a few minutes, I had my delights with some lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side.
The dining area was tiny, but it looks like no one eats in so often, because it was empty the whole time I was there. So, I sat and ate, while the owner(s) watched "Dancing with the stars". I'll go ahead and say it now... that was not a plus for the ambiance. What can I say; I'm picky.
Everything was delicious. A few of the calamari were a bit soft (the coating wasn't cooked completely crispy), but the crabcake sandwich was undoubtedly delicious. I was done a bit sooner than I hoped, but happy with the meal. I'll definitely be back there for a few pounds of shrimp at some point. Or, their other delights (check out the images; one of them includes the menu!)
It's not the best seafood in the world, but it is certainly worth the price, and the folks are friendly (I was invited to sing along to something on the TV).
Great crab cake sandwich
Great catfish and my favorite fries. Remember to call ahead!
Snappy's is good ol' fashioned fried goodness. Now, it isn't the fried shrimp and fish of my southern roots but it will most certainly do! The business itself is really clean and the people who work there are friendly, and helpful despite being extremely busy. They use Gulf Shrimp, which if you haven't tasted before you are totally missing out! I will definitely come back to Snappy's, I mean the name itself is enough!
Upon entrance to the corner shrimp shack -- you are surprised that your expectations of a dive restaurant and instantaneously squelched, instead you're greeted with a long L-shaped bar, taking up most of the tiny restaurant. With a certain clean charm, you walk down the bar, and look up to see a gigantic board of menu items. With only one table in the joint, we can envision it being a mad-house at lunch.
The choices range from chicken wraps, to sandwiches, to seafood by the quarter-pound (sea scallops, fried Gulf Shrimp, shrimp cocktail, and yes, even chicken wings).
We weren't super hungry, so we decided to split a wrap. After looking over their selection of four wraps (including a Shrimp, Grilled Chicken, Jerk Chicken, and BBQ Chicken Wrap) we settled upon the Jerk Chicken with a side of hush puppies that is served with honey butter.
The jerk chicken had just a slight heat to it which was contrasted by the lightly sweet taste of the pineapple. The lettuce and to tomato served to squelch the heat instantaneously while the rice was not overwhelming, and did not seem to serve as a filler as much as it was there to add to the taste and textures of the wrap.
As for the hush puppies, they were freshly fried right in front of us, and served to us piping hot. The crunchy outer crust segued nicely into the cooked inner portion that had been thoroughly warmed. The heat of the freshly cooked hush puppies served to melt the honey butter ever so slightly.
If we ever find ourselves in that part of town again, we will be sure to stop by. (And since we have found this place, we might be making excuses to head out there as a result...)
Fried shrimp, what's not to love. Hot, fresh and juicy with mmmmmmalt vinegar. Tangy! Good price, no frills fried shrimp by the pound. Yum!
The calamari was a bit salty, but we nibbled on thru and managed to polish everything off. I'll come back.
So I've been wanting to try Snappy's for a long time, since we moved down the street a year ago. What's kept me from stopping in? I knew I would fall in love after reading these reviews and didn't need a fried shrimp addiction on top of all the other bad foods I'm in love with.
But last night, after a four mile walk to the lake and back, we were all in the mood for a quick, cheap and summery meal. No one wanted to cook, so I suggested Snappy's.
Mom and I headed down to make selections for everyone. I got myself a freakin' feast for all of $9 and some change: Four pieces of jumbo fried shrimp, clam strips, 'slaw and hush puppies. And it was ALL so, so good. My favorite thing about Snappy's is that the bread coating is thick and crunchy, not at all thin and mushy.
So, now every night on my walk home from the El, I have to resist the urge to stop in. So thanks, Snappy's,
Its pretty good - the shrimp come with a dense, thick batter that has its own form, like the onion rings at Burger King. A 1/4 pound is 4 skrimps which are decent size. Not bad - hard to really tell how fresh it is cause the batter is so thick, but they tasted good; I'd go back.
One negative is the layout - it seems like they need to get a few more seats; when I went it was dead, with like 4 people in there and almost all the seats were taken even though its not all that small.
Once again, fellow Yelpers did not lead me astray. After not eating for 24 hours, I wanted someplace to gorge myself and Snappy's fit the bill. And how. Sure, fried food is bad for you, but fried food tastes great. And Snappy's tastes greater than most!
First of all--clean and modern. Secondly--empty and quiet on a Sunday midafternoon. That was nice because I lingered for almost an hour, struggling to finish all the food that I had ordered.
A half-pound shrimp meal (with fries, cole slaw, and soda), half a pound of scallops, and a ten-piece side of hush puppies. Oof...I managed to put it all down and walked out of there looking like that pregnant man in late second trimester, but I didn't eat again for almost another 24 hours.
The fries were boring, but who cares? The shrimp and scallops were amazing. Probably the best fried seafood I've ever had. Some of the scallops were the size of golf balls! You get about ten shrimp and ten scallops in half a pound, so really, a reasonable person would get only a half a pound TOTAL. The shrimp tasted marinated in something garlicky, or perhaps it was the batter. Big, piping hot, fresh, delicious, not overwhelmed by heavy breading...perfect, really. Yum yum yum.
The slaw was really good too. I love a good cole slaw. The hush puppies were all right; maybe they could have been cooked longer, as they were slightly doughy in the middle. The honey butter is a nice touch but could use more honey.
I will definitely be back and maybe try the chicken strips if I can resist the call of shrimp and scallops.
Imagine Long John Silver's with much fresher and much better food. I was first introduced to Snappy's while at Silvie's and friends went across the street for a food run and brough back hush puppies, fries, chicken strips and shrimp. The chicken strips were well breaded and crispy, but not cooked to nuclear fallout levels.
Once again on my way to Silvie's to fix up my darts, stopped in and ordered a 1/4 lb. of jumbo shrimp meal that came with jumbo shrimp, fries, potato salad and a can of Dr. Pepper. There was a newspaper sitting on the counter, so I was able to read while they fried up the goods.
Food came in short order and the shrimp came with spicy cocktail sauce that was not that spicy. The jumbo shrimp was crunchy and dense, unlike other jumbo shrimp which may be soggy and overly greased up. The fries were too thick and not very crisp and a tad bit on the greasy side. Potato salad held up and did not make me sick.
While I was in there a large man came in and ordered 1 lb. of jumbo shrimp, 1 lb. of chicken strips, a crab cake, fries, potato salad, cole slaw, 2 cans of pop and was rang up for well over $20. I know the food is delicious and all, but man some people need to tone it down!! I spose if I was that size, I would want $20 of Snappy's Shrimp too!!
i'm a shrimp connoisseur known to be able to put a pound or two of peel and eat away. i also used to work in a fry joint and we made and sold fired shrimp. those were frozen and pre-breaded, the anti-snappys.
i just got married so i've been avoiding snappys in lieu of my waistline, just in case it was as good as i've found it to be.
got a half pound on my walk home. i noticed:
1) These things are MONSTERS! I'm guessing 16/20s. (Which means about 16/20 to a pound)
2) The batter is thick, crunchy and yummy. It keeps em not-too-greasy and juicy inside.
3) nice guys, both the guys working were friendly and talkative
4) they fold the bags right so the steam doesn't ruin the crunchy-ness on the walk home.
5) given all that, the price is right. i don't think you could get a pound of 16/20s at the grocery store for less.
only compliant was that I thought i got the hot sauce but it was more like sweet bbq.
it is a take out place for sure. i would not plan on eating there.
will be going back to try the rest for sure!!
Alright, I'm not a fan of seafood guys, but I'll eat food from Snappy's.
Maybe they put something magical into their oil or maybe it's the years off of my life that I'm losing comforting my stomach while I consume their food but it's SO GOOD.
Their honey butter is surprisingly awesome. I was reluctant at first just based on the combinations name... but when I tried it with the hush puppies it was GOLD! Their hush puppies by the way are out of this world.
The shrimp is great but the one thing that I love here more than the shrimp is the SCALLOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could eat a whole bag full and be delighted. I definitely recommend you try them. And then gorge.
Oh My, 1/2 lb. of catfish, a side of fries, a side of potato salad, a side of clam strips, a side of hush puppies, and two pops - $11! Amazing.
This quaint little place is a great spot if your in the mood for fried foods - and who isn't? It's located right by the Irving Park brown line so you don't have to complain of it being too far to walk to or something like that. There's limited seating, but it's mostly a take-out place so don't start worrying if you plan to stay to eat.
Everything was great. The serving of catfish was more than plenty - I basically paid $5.50 for dinner since my friend and I decided to share.
I only wish this place was open really late - I wouldn't mind getting some chicken strips as a drunk food.
Aw snappy!
First let me start by saying fate is usually a bitch, but today it was a goddess. I was all ready to walk into that Thai place down the street, but they had some kind of sewage vac hose running through the front door out to some truck on the street. Yumm-o! I guess it was sucking grease out or something, but I digress. Digrease?
So I wandered down the street further and happened upon some odd looking corner store called Snappy's Shrimp. And I thought to myself, shrimp shack? In Chicago? Is this really going to be any good? We're not exactly close to any major ocean body of water. Sure shrimp are raised on farms now, but still, it's the principle of the matter. Maybe if I were on the South Side then I'd be closer to the Gulf of Mexico...
Anyway, I threw up my hands (gaily) and went inside. It was surprisingly clean in the shrimp shack. The patrons were what you would expect for a corner eatery. An old man perched atop a stool by the window bar, two overweight working class blokes waiting for a to-go order, and an aging cop at the one table dipping his fries into what looked like the Most Amazing Tartar Sauce on Earth.
I got the fried shrimp wrap, because I figured that had to be good, if they are all about their shrimp and all. It came with some kind of barbecue-like sauce on the side (I got the spicy), which added a nice kick, but it didn't melt my tongue off. The shrimp were perfect and crunchy, piping hot. It wasn't the perfect wrap, but it definitely hit the spot.
Also, it's been half an hour since I ate, and I'm not food poisoned. That's always a good sign!
Snappy's is the shiznit. We made the trek out on Irving Park, to hit up the Diner to get a Slinger, but it seems that they're closed due to a fire. So we stopped at Snappy's and never looked back.
This made an awesome choice for lunch, although it sounds like great post-drinking/hangover food as well. It's not going to compete with a high-end seafood restaurant, but it's not trying. They specialize in their fried seafood and make no excuses. The hush puppies are great with the honey butter, and I'm definitely hitting it up again. No longer will I have a craving for crappy Long John Silvers of old, I'll want to hit up Snappy's.
Snappy Haiku
oh you snappy shrimp
drowning in chipotle sauce
welcome to my mouth!
Snappy's is da bomb!
Very fresh shrimp, fish, and crab galore. It's not a big place nor is there very much room to eat your meal there BUT the food is so scrumptious, you'll want to go back for more, I guarantee it!
I would recommend their shrimp wrap, fish chips, crab cake sandwhich, or fish sandwich. These are all fantastic choices. Also, they have the best fries ever! Always fresh and crispy, never ever disappointingly soggy.
Plus, supporting local businesses is cool, their prices are reasonable, and they make your food right there while you wait. Doesn't get any better than that, so if you're in the area and get hungry, remember to eat at Snappy's!
Had the shrimp wrap tonight, and it solidified me as a fan of this place.
Haven't had the shrimp yet, but I have had the chicken wrap, several times. And I LOVE IT. Shrimp… Read more »
Finally! I've found a place in Chicago with halfway decent seafood.
I grew up by the ocean, and so I appreciate a good fried shrimp when I can find one.
Snappy's shrimp are excellent. The bread is crispy, and lightly seasoned, and the shrimp are big, and delicious- loaded with flavor.
The big surprise for me was the hush puppies. Damn they were good! I'll definitely be coming back to Snappy's in the future.
This place is great. I have been there a half dozen times and it is amazingly consistent.
Snappy's purports to use wild gulf shrimp, which is a big plus in my book. I always get the fried shrimp which is really, really tasty. Fries are frozen which is a minus, but prepared well, nonetheless.
The cocktail sauce is not typical, but it is good. They have a hot version and a regular. I always get the hot which has a nice spice to it without being too much.
To me, this is a quick lunch or dinner in a hurry spot. Very clean, very friendly staff, very good (fried) food. I think it would also come in handy if you needed to get a large amount of food for a big group.
Yummy, fried deliciousness!!! Cheap too. We had some fried shrimp, scallops, fish and hush puppies.
My favorites were the fish and shrimp. The scallops were ENORMOUS and tasty, but not quite as good as Lawerence Fisheries.
The hush puppies are very flavorful.
This place is a little gem!
here we go with the frites yet again.
shrimp, scallops, fish nuggets, chicken wings, oysters, calamari, clam strips, and mushrooms. all breaded, all fried. yes we indulge in the heart-attack inducing dinner almost every week at my family's dinners. there's a reason my mom has the cholesterol counter thingamajig available for use out on the coffee table at all times. to be fair, we do eat copious amounts of white rice alongside so hopefully that soaks up some of the grease.
the standouts for us were the oysters, the scallops, the clam strips, and the divine ever-so-slightly kicky chicken wings. muy delicioso. but definitely not for everyday. i wish i could say not even for every week. but just like with drinking, once the hangover dies down the need to reach for a lovely cold beverage arises again. and again. and again. darn stupid fried goodness.
Fried Morsel Capital of Chicago.
Recite the menu in best Bubba Gump voice:
Jumbo fried shrimp, shrimp cocktail, calamari,sea scallops, fish chips, clam strips, catfish strips, hush puppies, chicken strips, poppers, french fries, fried fish sandwiches, crab cakes, and chicken wings. Fresh shrimp, fried shrimp and shrimp sauce and more fried shrimp. Uh-huh.
The place is clean, the guy behind the counter was nice and fast, the wraps are healthy and good, and the fried stuff comes in a brown bag by the pound.
Gimme frydom and gimme Snappy's!
I was walking home from the dentist earlier this week and as I passed Snappy's I remembered I had it bookmarked on my Yelp To Try list. So, I popped in and settled for the shrimp basket which consisted of about 4 jumbo shrimp, a side of fries, a choice of cole slaw, potato salad, or rice, and a beverage for about $6.50. Dude, you can't beat that price for seafood!
They have several different basket sizes, I went with the 1/4 lb size and I could barely finish all the fries. The shrimp were pretty tasty, and definitely jumbo. I decided to go with the cole slaw and I was pretty impressed - I'm kind of a cole slaw snob. I also got the hot sauce and it was kind of weird to me. I wasn't a fan and opted to eat my shrimp sauce-free.
The place is definitely small, but the staff was friendly, the atmosphere was homey, and the food was cheap and delicious. I'm excited to try something else next time, as well as drag my parents next time they're in town.
Mainly a carry-out place, although they have a few places to sit down. Very clean and bright.
Hands down the best fried shrimp we've ever had. We also had the catfish and hush puppies which were excellent. All were done to perfection.
They use gulf shrimp not farm raised fresh water.
They also have fried crab cakes, sea scallops, calamari, clam strips, oysters, fish chips and chicken filet strips. Sandwiches, wraps and salads.
Prices were very good -- CASH ONLY. (this is what we had)
hush puppies 10/1.50
catfish strips 3.50 for 1/2#
jumbo fried shrimp 7.75 for 1/2#
can of pop .75
sauces were just ok .25/.50@
Highly recommended
Love Snappy's! Always hot cooked to order. You can get a Crab cake sandwich, fries, cole slaw or potato salad and a coke for $7.50. The shrimp are gulf shrimp, and the hush puppies come with honey butter, that I should warn you about, order a second container of this, one just is not enough.
Good to take to go since there is only one table and about five eating bar seats.
This place is INCREDIBLE!!!!
So I've been thinking of this place for a while. Finally, one day I'm working from home with a craving for some greasy food...some greasy seafood to be exact. I look up Snappy's to see if they do lunch...Hallelujah, they do!!!!
I drive over there and pull up to the place. To be honest, it kind of looks like a dump...I expected that and have found most Chicago hidden treasures do look like dumps. Walk into the place and am greeted with a friendly smile. The place still looks like a dump...but look behind the counter! The food prep area is spotless. Even the fryers are without a smudge.
After looking behind the counter, you'll realize that the vast majority of food they have is fried. Nice and greasy. The menu confirms that...though they do have some sandwiches and shrimp cocktails.
I order the 1/2# shrimp, calamari, and fries. The guy behind the counter seemed to be the owner. He was quite friendly, especially after I told him it was my first visit.
Plan to take your food home, though there is some counter space on the perimeter of the place to eat there.
Food:
Everything is made to order, even the fries.
The calamari was all right...they were small and most of the taste came from the breading...but they were #2.50. A great deal, don't get me wrong, but I probably won't get them again.
The fries were good...no different from what you find anywhere else.
But the shrimp...oh the shrimp. AMAZING!!!! They were perfectly breaded to get that fried food greasy goodness, while still fully displaying the gread, wild flavor of those huge shrimp underneath. And to top it off, the shrimp don't even have the tail on them..you could pop them in your mouth whole if you want...though I don't know why you'd want to when you can savor bite after bite of these awesome shrimp.
I'll be back...but not without scheduling some appointments with my doctor...this is a heart attack on wheels!!! But oh how I love it!
Oh...bring cash...this place, like so many other great Chicago dives, doesn't take credit.
EDIT: I went here again yesterday...
Scallops were incredible....tender as can be and very flavorful. The wife doesn't even like scallops and she loved these.
Also want to correct a previous impression....the inside entry area is not dingy by any means....dunno why i remembered it as such.
I really enjoy Snappy's. It is just a little corner joint in a not-too-bustling area, but it is a place with great food. The inside has only about eight seats, but it is cozy and has a nice view of the street.
Their staple offerings are their jumbo fried shrimp, shrimp cocktail, sea scallops, fish chips, catfish strips, chicken strips, and chicken wings. All of these aforementioned meals are made to order in quarter pound increments (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1). Their pricing is very reasonable. Chicken/seafood sandwiches or wraps are also available. They serve five different sauces--hot, mild, hot Mex, cocktail, and tartar--for your dipping pleasure. Personally, I really like the jumbo shrimp and the yellow rice that they serve as one of their side dishes. I have heard alot of places claiming their shrimp are "jumbo", but Snappy's really does serve up some thick, filling shrimp.
The staff are very personable. The cooking time isn't bad, maybe ten minutes at most. They will deliver your food if you order over $15 and are local for a fee of $2.
This review is based off my fiance's input. Seeing as they have no veggie dishes, I have never eaten here.
She ordered the breaded chicken sandwich and said that it was quite good. No worries about cold food from here, she had to wait 10 minutes just to be able to bite into her sandwich.
She also got a side of fries, but only ate about 5. I have to say they were pretty bland and unmemorable. Much better fries elsewhere in the city.
Wow, what a great surprise. I normally hate fried shrimp, as the fried stuff usually masks miniscule shrimp. In this case, the shrimp are almost bursting out of the breading! They're fantastic! I've never had such honest fried shrimp!
I ate them earlier tonight, and now I can think of nothing else. Delicious. I'm going to find excuses to get out to that neighborhood again very soon. Maybe tomorrow!
Mmmmm, Snappy's!
Ok, so I gave it another shot, minus the shrimp and potato pancakes...the fish really is excellent and the tartar sauce tastes homemade and delicious. The fries leave a little to be desired, but the fish is outstanding.
Extremely dissapointing...I saw numerous good reveiws for this place and was hopeful. The potato… Read more »
I love seafood and anything fried is usually good. Well good doesn't describe Snappy's. The scallops and jumbo shrimp I had was the best fried seafood I've had since I went to this little shack somewhere on Archer out towards the burbs. So I've seen Snappy's multiple times getting off the Brown Line at Irving Park and decided that last Friday was the day to stop. I could see how someone might be turned off by just seeing the outside but upon entering you are extremely pleased. For being a fried food place, it doesn't smell too bad when you walk in and it is VERY clean. I checked out the menu online before I went so I didn't seem like a newbie. I ordered a lb. of shrimp, 1/2lb. of scallops, calamari and (2) coleslaw sides. Reading reviews before I went, everyone mentioned how the fries were not the greatest so I decided to forego the meal and just get some sides. The shrimp and scallops were ready in no time and I took my order to go. As I was walking the two blocks home my mouth was salavating from the stench that eminated from my bag. Upon entering my house I tore open the bag and dove in. The breading was just right and the taste, oh the taste was out of this world. I have always liked shrimp better than scallops but something about the scallops was making me jump up and down for joy. I also gout some of the cocktail sauce and it too was great. I got one regular and one spicy. The spicy one is spicy at first and you tell yourself to switch to the regular but something keeps making you go back. So for that totally orgasmic experience I think I paid $25...I'll be back for sure.
Very tasty food -- I usually don't go after seafood in the midwest, since it's usually not very fresh unless it's flown in, in which case you pay a premium.
I usually call ahead or drop in only if I have time -- it takes a while for them to weigh the food, drop it into the fryer, etc. This is NOT fast food. I went in once and there was one customer ahead of me and it took 20 minutes or so to get out of there.
If you have the time, definitely worth the wait!
Stopped in here a couple nights ago while out walking. Had a nice talk with the Manager/Owner while I was figuring out what to get. I'm not into fried stuff much so I wasn't sure if I was gonna be out of luck, but I did find some grilled choices and ended up with the Shrimp wrap and it was actually very good.
What I like most about the place is they bring in their seafood fresh, are very friendly and engaging, and have been part of the neighborhood for a number of years. It's exactly this kind of 'local flavor' that helps make Chicago such an engaging and varietal place to enjoy.
Small side note which I found kinda funny is that all the prices include tax. So, if you order a $5 sandwich...just toss that 5 on the counter and you're done.
I am looking forward to eating here more as it is just around the corner from me. However i know now not to get the fish sandwich (kinda like a Mrs. Paul's frozen fish fillet between bread) but, to instead get the shrimp. The Hush-puppies were awesome!
I totally recommend this place.
When it comes to fried fish, I tend to favor catfish, and what I've had at Snappy's is acceptable, but not great. They seem to go a bit heavy on the breading, which can overwhelm the taste of the catfish itself. Also, their "hot" sauce was surprisingly uninspiring, tasted more like mildly spiced ketchup.
On a positive note, the prices for all their offerings seem to be pretty reasonable. Perhaps I should try the shrimp on my next visit.
I stopped in for dinner after reading other reviews. The shrimp, scallops and hush puppies (Hello, Honey butter!) were fantastic. A little heavy on the batter but fried goodness all the same! It was definitely worth getting off the El a stop early.
Finally made it to Snappy's , it's been on the radar for a while and I finally ate there today. This is a standard fried fish stand , perhaps one of the best I've been to. Their menu has a pretty solid cross section of food, fried catfish , clams, catfish, oysters and the like. They also have some "healthier" choices like grilled chicken wraps and salads. I tried the fried shrimp ... Loved em' , possibly the best around. The fried scallops were great as well. I wasn't as thrilled with the calamari , not bad but they all clumped together and weren't as crispy as I might have liked. They were actually better after sitting around 20 minutes or so. This place is on my list of places to go now, there is alot I have yet to try here.
