WE ALL LOVE THE SHRIMP. My grandma gets it fried soft covered in mild sauce. I get mine covered mixed, covered in hot and mild sauce. She loves the mushrooms, i love the coleslaw and macaroni salad. I havent even tried anything else but slowly but surely, U just can't get enough if the shrimp lol. I do wish it came with fries but that's ok.

There are not many options in NWI so when I had a craving for fried shrimp, I was pointed here to Ray 's. My first initial impression was It 's in Gary, really ? If you can look past the sketchy surrounding, you 're in for a treat. This place held it 's own and could contend with the any of the great Chicago shrimp houses beyond expectation. I ordered a LB of shrimp with both hot and mild sauce on the side. My order was made fresh and came in a chinese rice container packed with delicious fried shrimp, excellent and enjoyable. I preferred the mild sauce over the hot only because the hot sauce is that signature East Chicago mustard hot sauce that to me does not pair well with shrimp. They do not offer cocktail sauce so the mild took the win. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this hidden gem.
