The Irish American Heritage Center’s Fish Fry every Friday during Lent is THE best! $12 all you can eat and is just like your favorite pub’s fish & chips.

Hard to find but worth the quest. For the best fish on the south side try Hegewisch! Club 81 too isn’t much to look at but if you can get over that you will find the best kept secret of the south suburbs. just think of it as an indoor picnik next to Wolf Lake. Heavenly food!
