“First time here and I'll be back! Got the crab nugget and shrimp combo. With a crab salad and Cole slaw. Delicious!”
“Absolutely love their shrimp. The people are friendly too. The atmosphere is vintage and could use some updating, and it's mainly take out. But the food is very much worth the visit, and the people are inviting. If you never mind the atmosphere, you'll return for sure. If you have a hankering for some truly tasty shrimp, lightly battered, at a perfect size, with the tastiest dips, then they are the place to go, without hesitation. There's other seafood options as well. I highly recommend. Give them a try... you'll wish you visited sooner.”
“Got the half-pound shrimps with codfish, and both blew me away, ngl. Shrimps aren't small, decent size and they are crunchy and come out hot. 9.2. Definitely, some of the better shrimp spots in the city. The cod fish is another winner 8.7. The fish batter ion know was really good to me and crunchy...they like huge fish nuggets. Got it with their tartar sauce and cocktail sauce and they didn't miss...overall 9.0.”
“Never again. I literally don’t even know where to begin…visited on a Friday 5pm-wrote this review same day 6pm. Spent $60, tenders were tiny-one was all breading. Shrimp were not jumbo. Fish chips ok-7 for $12. Coleslaw wasn’t good. And everything was just bland and teeth breaking fried too hard. I had to debread a tender just for my kid to eat one. They had customers so idk what could’ve happened with ALL my food but I won’t ever be back to figure it out.”
“My daughter visited this restaurant while we we're in Chicago. She ordered the one pound shrimp dinner and one pound cod dinner. The food was delicious. She asked for hot sauce and was given a kind of spicy ketchup, which she said was very good. We try local places to see what the "flavor" of the places we visit is like. Glad we found this one! My two-year old grandson love it, too. So thank you for your hospitality and great food and service!”
“Tiny space but enough room for a few people to sit down. Old plaques on the wall tell the story of renowned fried shrimp.”
“30 yrs. And still buying fish and shrimp from Troha's.”
