Red Snapper Hyde Park

4549 reviews ·Opens at 10AM

Red Snapper Hyde Park draws regulars for generously portioned, freshly fried seafood—especially the seasoned red snapper, flavorful catfish dinners, and loaded fish tacos—plus crowd-pleasing banana pudding and chocolate cake. Diners also praise the crisp Greek salad, clean setting, and friendly service, though experiences can vary: some report bland or undercooked food, rude interactions, and unreliable opening hours.

My visit to Red Snapper Grill was nothing short of outstanding! If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful seafood, this is the place to be. I ordered the red snapper, and it was truly divine—perfectly seasoned, expertly prepared, and cooked to perfection. Every bite reminded me why fresh seafood done right is such a memorable experience. The food, service, and welcoming atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. If you’re in Hyde Park and craving exceptional seafood, do yourself a favor and stop by Red Snapper Grill. Highly recommended!

First time ever eating here. My wife and I went to get catfish dinners. The first thing and most important to me was the young lady at the register who was professional, respectable and focused on the customer and the order. Food was made fresh fried. Tasted great. A lot of catfish for the money. Lemon pepper powder added to the taste. Chocolate cake and banana pudding was delicious. Place looked clean and well kept.

It’s obvious from the photo… the fish isn’t completely cooked. There was still wet batter underneath. The chicken was okay. The staff is friendly and patient because this was my first time visiting. I’m not from Illinois but was told they have good food. I gave it 2 stars because the young lady was nice.. however the food 0/5.

I got a greek salad here and was pleasantly surprised. Very fresh ingredients. Ample tomatoes, feta cheese and kalamata olives. I returned 2 days later, still good, still very fresh. Polite, quick service.
