Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House
Josh Rock · 321 Google reviewsHugo's Frog Bar & Fish House — Gold Coast american where the Oysters sets the tone. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. Strong bar program alongside the food. "The frog legs are grilled, the fish is fresh and you can get steaks from the famous Gibsons next door" — Katie Kansas [patio]

“We had an amazing time at Hugo's Frog Bar! The food was great, but what really made our experience stand out was the service. Our waitress, Hailey, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring throughout the entire meal. She made us feel so welcome:)”

“Ordered the mussels, spicy salmon roll, Chilean Sea Bass, and Fish n Chips. Everything was delicious. Service was outstanding and the food was superb.”
“As a person who cooks frogs legs at home, I’m extremely picky with stuff like that and this place got it right! Plus the atmosphere and attention to detail. I also ordered Aperol Spritz and they made it very American way, so I asked to fix it and make it right, guess what? They did! Looking forward to come back again!”
“We capped off our night with dessert! One dessert can serve at least four people! Absolute decadence! Be sure to make a reservation.”
“Atendimento cordial mesmo para um grupo com dificuldade de entender as explicações em inglês. O prato de entrada que é carro chefe da casa é excelente, com lagosta, camarões, ostras (pequenas comparadas com as que encontramos no Brasil) e carne de caranguejo com avocado, é muito bom e serviu bem 4 pessoas. Há opções de carne, que vem do restaurande do lado "Gibsons". Optei pelo peixe que estava ótimo.”
“The frog legs are absolutely delicious. The oysters were fresh. The condiments that come with the oysters are amazingly and slushy. All the happy hour dishes were also amazing. Highly recommend, we were passing by on our trip to Chicago and we’ll be back next time!”
“Frank was an absolute pleasure to have as our server!! Everything was exquisitely executed and explained so well!! Can't wait to see Frank again as our server”
“They start cleaning as you're still eating. It makes you feel like you're being kicked out. It's extremely dismissive, disrespectful, and rude. The waiters are just standing around instead of getting us boxes, asking if we want dessert or at least getting us a check. At least, the manager understood where we were coming from and she comped our entire meal.”
“had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The steak and lobster were extremely poorly prepared. The meat was stuck to the bone, had a bad texture, and tasted like it was not fresh. It was honestly concerning. After I got home, I ended up vomiting everything I ate, which made the experience even worse and very upsetting. For a place that claims to specialize in steak and lobster, the quality was completely unacceptable. The food did not seem properly handled or cooked, and it felt unsafe to eat. This restaurant is absolutely not worth the money or the risk. I would not recommend it to anyone.”
“Everything was amazing! The Chilean sea bass was incredible. Big thanks to Brittany and Ryan for taking such good care of us!”
