Check out the fry at St.Joseph Church in Homewood. All monies raised support the Athlectic Association for parish kids. All you can eat fish, spaghetti, or Mac N Cheese. Also offers shrimp and catfish dinners. Hours are from 4:30 - 8:00pm the first six Fridays during Lent. Great deal and an enjoyable family atmosphere

Cuzin's on Oak Park Avenue. All you can eat every Friday, best fish in Tinley. I believe it's $7 until 4pm and then $8 after 4pm. Go early because they get very busy, very fast.

I've asked around too and haven't heard anything substantive. Though from what I heard, things should be pretty similar when they reopen.

Danny’s Corner Evicted
Cook County Sheriff’s Police on Wednesday placed an eviction notice on Danny’s Corner, 9400 W. 143rd St. in Orland Park.
Next plans are still being finalized, though apparently a new owner plans to reopen – possibly as soon as this week – with the same hours, staff and menu.
