Shaw's Crab House

DrinkRiver North · Seafood Community-sourced, unverified
📍 21 E Hubbard St, Chicago, IL 60611

Shaw's Crab House has run its 1940s-style dining room and separate Oyster Bar since 1984, and was ranked #8 in Chicago Magazine's Best Chicago Restaurants list for its 40th anniversary in 2024 -- four decades of continuous operation, not a recent concept borrowing an old-sounding name.

Dish Gem$$$
The key lime pie closes out a seafood dinner exactly the way it should, tart enough to cut through everything that came before it.
📈 Scores in the top 100% of Dish Gems on ChicagoSpecials.com

Weekday happy hour in the Oyster Bar (3-5pm) drops oysters on the half shell to $2 each.
