Shaw's Crab House

Shaw’s is two restaurants in one – a jazzy, sophisticated, seafood restaurant and a carefree, lively oyster bar.

Shaw’s Crab House, Chicago’s premier Seafood Restaurant, serves variety of freshly shucked oysters, made to order sushi and more than 40 seafood dishes including our signature Alaskan King Crab Legs. Both serve top-grade fish and shellfish, several varieties of just-shucked oysters, and inventive sushi and sashimi combinations, made with the freshest fish in town.

Marathon finishers, treat your sore muscles to a well-deserved reward at Shaw’s Crab House after your run with our fresh oysters. Packed with essential nutrients like protein, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, oysters are a powerhouse for muscle recovery. Plus, their omega-3 fatty acids provide anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to ease post-run soreness.

Shaw’s offers a daily selection of six oysters from both the East and West Coast—perfect for a delicious, nutrient-rich recovery.
