Wicker Park/Bucktown
Goose Island Shrimp House
Chicago, IL, 60622, United States
Open until 5 a.m., Goose Island Shrimp House has been a local favorite for late night eats since 1974. Despite the remote location on Division Street and carryout-only setup, patrons continue to return for the Chicago-style (heavily breaded) fried shrimp served by the half-pound or pound. The retro sign out front adds a touch of charm, but the interior is little more than a bare white ordering counter and a small marquee displaying the menu. While waiting in line, however, visitors are entertained by Pac-Man and pinball machines as well as fantastic people-watching.
Insider Tip:
Regulars recommend the hot dipping sauce over the mild; it’s mixed with mustard for just the right amount of tang and spice.
