Reviews for Big Fish Grille in Wilmington, IL
I?ve been to Big Fish Grille a number of times and have always been more then satisfied with the food and service. However this... time I can say I don?t know if I?ll ever be back. I sat and waited for service. When finally serviced a bowl of hot broth thatwas sold as French Onion soup I was going say something to the waitress but she never came back. I paid my bar tab and walkedout. Very disappointed this was always one of my favorite places. I hope they get their act together. Read more
The place came highly recommend by many that we know. But the day we went maybe it wasn't their best day. For me personally i... had the burger and thought it was very good. The fries that came with it was (blackish) tasted ok but looking at them theylooked like they were cut from old potatoes. The others had the fish platter and came with big shrimp and crab cakes. The fishbreading was soggy and it just fell apart almost like it had been re heated in a microwave. The crab cakes was overwhelmed with whatever they add to it(horse radish maybe) so that wasn't good either. But because so many people have so much good tosay about the place i will try it again and i will update this review with our experience then. Read more
Wish I could leave zero stars. Made a reservation for 7 and got told I wouldn?t be sat till 7:30. While the restaurant was... almost empty. Waited well over an hour for our food and while other guests got their food, our server was no where to be found.The restaurant was completely empty pretty much the whole night. When we received the food, only some of the food was quality.The shells on the tacos were hard. And then we complain after we got bit by mosquitos for 2 hours while waiting and our comp?$20. Out of $260. That?s the kinda service you get here. Never going back. Read more
Was a beautiful night to sit outside on their deck. Shrimp cocktail and oysters to start were delicious. Salad and chicken for... entrée were also great. But the dish that was just outstanding was the coleslaw!! I don't know what was in it but it had a nicekick and I could of ate a gallon of it???? Read more

This restaurantis right off of a boat yard marina! Great views out the window too ???? We will be back again!! Meaning we loved the food! Read more
Amazing amazing amazing food. Super quality product in the hands of a rare talent. Great service (rose), crazy food chef, ... best old fashioned. Michelin food in super cozy digs at neighborhood prices. Read more
Friendly, great view of the Kankakee river and the food was good. They just re-opened for some summer fun. Jane and I took a... Sunday ride south of Joliet and this place is a hidden place to stop in. Read more
Highly priced for poor quality food. We got oysters to start, and they looked like they were shucked days prior and were all... dried out. The taste wasn?t very appealing either. Ordered a bunch of appetizers?also not good. Gumbo was bland. Hurricanecocktail was also very bland. Very nice staff. Maybe it was an off night for the cook, but serving subpar seafood at a 5-starrate will not be having us back. Read more
