Wonderful food. Great selection. Outstanding service. It was noisy so don’t expect a quiet candlelight dinner. And expect to pay. But you get what you pay for.

About the restaurant
Since 1984, Shaw’s Crab House has earned its status as a Chicago icon with its unwavering commitment to quality and warm, dedicated staff. This generational restaurant embodies timeless seafood traditions inspired by America's coastal crab houses, creating a classic dining experience that stands the test of time. Signature dishes include King Crab Legs, oysters from both coasts, hand-rolled sushi, fresh fish, and more. After 40 years of excellence, Shaw's was ranked #8 in Chicago Magazine's Best Chicago Restaurants of 2024.

The restaurant's 1940s-style design features two distinct dining rooms: the lively, casual Oyster Bar and the elegant, white-tablecloth Main Dining Room. Guests who reserve "Hightop" seating will dine in the Oyster Bar, while "Standard" seating is for the Main Dining Room.

Located in the heart of River North, Shaw’s is just a short walk from Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a memorable seafood experience.

Delicious lunch ! I had the tuna tartare, shrimp fettuccini and crème brûlée Everything was amazing ! The fettuccini is unique, not your typical cream sauce , which I thought was amazing , but just know that. The portion was large as were the shrimp ! Crème brûlée was truly some of the best I have ever had , highly recommend it!
