Bob Chinn's Crab House

About this business

It's big, noisy, and crowded, but it remains a Chicago favorite for seafood. This restaurant boasts one of the highest volumes of customers in the country. The crab, not surprisingly, ranks as the specialty, and a fresh catch is flown in daily, always served either grilled or steamed.

I think my expectation was a little unrealistic based on the info given but overall the food was good. I had lobster, steak, calamari and a MaiTai. Service was great. Huge restaurant!!

Worst and most terrible meal we ever had We have been to Bob Chinn's almost every other week and never have been so disappointed. Feel cheated by small portions. Ordered Kona Crab (no meat, just shell) Stuffed seabass (small, and no taste.) Never going back!!!!

Garlic rolls, live maine lobster, jumbo shrimp... enough said Amazingly fresh food that hits your senses. Taste is divine, and the atmosphere is very friendly. If your taste buds can take the heat, try the hot peel shrimp. They are to die for.... literally!

Expensive but very good seafood First off, let me say that Chinn's suffers from one major fault - their prices are very expensive. On the flip side? They have tons of variety, and it's all very good. As a non-seafood kind of person myself, I can only comment that those I've taken to Chinn's have really enjoyed it. As for myself, I typically order something chicken or steak, and unlike most seafood places, Chinn's doesn't disappoint. They must have some good talent in the kitchen, to be able to do so well on such a large menu... read more

bob chins Crab House does ot live up to their advertisement. I purchased a fish sampler at Bob chins. I did not get what I ordered. I work 10 minutes from the restaurant. When I called to complain they would not do it over. Why would I want to drive 10 minutes there and 10 minutes back to work if it was what I wanted. As I am typing this I am also reading their statement that they put on the take out. Our guests' satisfaction is our number one goal.....If after two bites you are not completely satisfied, call us immediately.... read more

MaiTai A bit difficult to get to but well worth the drive. The drinks are out of this world and the food is fresh. Seafood is flown daily and you can taste the difference in the quality of the food.

Very good but expensive The food and atmosphere was great. I went there for my friend's birthday and they were very nice. There is lots of room, so it is a great place to go with a group. The food was excellent but pricey.

Food Poisoning from Oyster While visiting relatives in the area we decided to go to our favorite place for a late lunch. Order the oysters for an appetizer to start the meal. After I return home late a night the nightmare began. I was unable to go to work for two day which has not occurred in my 20+ years on the job.

Tasty Seafood The food at Bob Chin's is a no-frills seafood joint with delicious fish flown in fresh everyday. It's a huge restaurant and we've never waited long to get a table since it's so big. Every table gets buttery garlic rolls which are hard to resist. The king crab legs are always great along with the daily selectin of fish. Even the desserts are delicious - especially the Hawaiian cake. PROS: Fresh fish CONS: Loud
