Growing up as a kid, I was fortunate to spend many evenings with my family exploring a variety of restaurants throughout the area. I can remember scanning the menu for the “good stuff” like shrimp dinners so I could brag to my friends that I just ate like a king. At times, I could feel the glare from across the table for always ordering from “that side of the menu”, I think that's where I learned to finish every bite. Heading into Just Shrimp brings back memories of ordering the “good stuff”. Father and daughter team, John and Christina Mihalos, have brought a strong passion for excellence to Tinley Park by offering their customers a variety of the best quality shrimp, sandwiches, and meals to choose from. Over the last 6 years, Just Shrimp has maintained a strong focus on the homemade preparation of much their menu and it's rewarded them with much popularity and a loyal following of happy customers.
Being a big shrimp fan myself, Just Shrimp sits at the top of the list when it comes to finding the best order of jumbo fried shrimp around. Not only are their shrimp gigantic in size but they are a premium wild-caught shrimp which are peeled, deveined, and breaded in-house. Just Shrimp offers their jumbo fried shrimp by the pound as well as the option of selecting a Shrimp Pack of 4,6,10,25,35,50 or 100 pieces, which includes fries and coleslaw. It’s no surprise that they go through approximately 11,000 shrimp a week. While their jumbo-fried shrimp are perfection straight from the fryer, I also appreciate the selection of dipping sauces. Hot, buffalo, spicy, mild, tartar, cocktail, and BBQ are the choices of sauces to choose from and each one is its own world of flavor.
A popular sandwich choice by customers and one of my personal favorites at Just Shrimp is the Lobster Po’ Boy. There’s no question why this sandwich is a crowd favorite, it’s fresh lobster in a sandwich! John, Christina, and their staff take great pride in preparing their lobster creations with fresh Maine Lobster delivered live to their restaurant. The Po'Boy comes with a hefty serving of fresh fried lobster over lettuce, tomato, and a spread of a homemade spicy sauce on a French roll. This is one of those types of sandwiches that I regret not ordering a second one, they’re that good!
I’m eager for my next visit to Just Shrimp in hopes to keep chipping away at their menu and try their Salmon Steak Sandwich and Louisiana...
Read moreThe food was absolutely horrible! My catfish was extremely fried so hard you couldn't chew it and it wasn't catfish, the Cole slaw was spoiled, if you really know food, I have tried this place maybe 3 times to see if they have changed and they continue to disappoint me! The food was so bad I didn't take it back because it wasn't worth explaining. I went across the street to S2's and received some great tasting fish. I showed them my order from Just Shirmp and they couldn't believe what they were selling. The fries were white looking and undercooked. The Shirmp they are trying to saves they are cutting in half with the tail and frying, HORRIBLE! DeCola's on western and 107th fish, Shirmp and seafood is AWESOME, take the drive. S2's fish is EXCELLENT, grilled or fried with delicious real vegetables! Please stop supporting this place, when fish start turning bad the put lemon juice and seasoning to cover the spoilness. You have to know food and a lot of people don't know what the are eating. If you aren't going to sell delicious, fresh food don't come to America and sell garbage. This happen Yesterday...
Read moreMe and my daughter walked into the restaurant and was looking at the menu trying to decide on what to order. The tall male Hispanic cashier was very rude staring at me and said what do you want to order in a unruly voice to us. I asked can we please have a few minutes to review the menu. He seem to have an attitude and just walked away. We proceed to order and he again looked frustrated, short talked us, tapping his hands on the counter rushing us to order. We sat down waiting for our order. We ordered meals and the cashier did not put the coleslaw in our bag. I send my daughter to the counter to ask for it. The same tall Hispanic male stared at us, looked at the table and only gave us one and not two. I was so uncomfortable with the way he treated us. I didn't finish my meal and we walked out. There was other customers whom came in after us and he greeted them and treated them with respect. I will never come back there or send anybody I know. I deserve better treatment and respect. That's not how you treat a mother and child. This happen Wednesday August 24, 2022 around...
