Hugo’s Frog Bar & Fish House

Had high expectations staff was wonderful very friendly food was okay. The calamari was served with good and the lobster roll was as well. Fish sandwich was bland and fell apart did not hold. The oysters where just meh. Papaduex is still the best seafood in the west suburbs.

Hugo’s is a nice, upscale seafood place with a very modern design that feels inviting. The staff is also very pleasant and our service was impeccable. The issue here, really, is the food. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, by any means, it’s just nothing is really what you expect it to be. For instance, the Bacon Clam Chowder was good, but the bacon flavor overpowered everything to the point that it was all I tasted. It was more like a cream of bacon soup than a clam chowder. It definitely wasn’t bad, but when you order clam chowder you want clam chowder. And pretty much all the food was like that: tasty, but not really what I was expecting, so it led to some stark disappointment. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience and I’d be willing to try it again. And maybe knowing that the food is a little more left of center than described would help the next, as my expectations will be more in line with what I’d get. But as it stands after trying it once, our group was left a little bewildered and unsatisfied.

Excellent service and food. We stopped on Valentine's Day without a reservation and were seated immediately at 12 noon. In a booth! By 12:45 there were maybe 15 people SRO waiting for seating so we were lucky. Our server Deonte was great. He knew the specials and answered our questions. Very efficient server as we noticed he was super busy with many tables. Drinks and soup came right away. We ordered shrimp po'boys and they were so good. Key lime pie for dessert is a MUST here!! Highly recommend and we can hardly wait to come back!

Stopped in for lunch on a sweltering Sunday afternoon. Service was great, the whole experience was classy. Great menu along with a very expansive wine list. Of course we had to start with the frog legs which were delish. Whats nice is they have something for everyone. If you don’t want to spend a lot on the high ticket items they have sandwiches and smaller plates. Will definitely be back to try more menu items!
