This is the best place for seafood. The food is like wharf food. I love it. The jumbo shrimp is really jumbo. The large is large!! They have a yummy clam chowder both red and white. My husband loves their scallops I love their shrimp fried or grilled. Did I mention they have the best customer service and the place is always very clean. I will return again and again. read more

This place reminds me of an old school fish and chips restaurant! We decided to come here after passing by hundreds of times on our way home from somewhere. We came here around 5:30PM and the traffic to get to Shrimp House was pretty bad. Found out that you can enter from Myrtle and from Live Oak. We were on Myrtle and went onto Live Oak thinking that was the only entrance.. that was a mistake due to the backed up traffic during the time. When we got there, we were seated at a table. It was pretty crowded, full of older people. The guests were friendly and seemed to be regulars of the place. When the waitress came to us, she took our order. We ordered: Popcorn Shrimp - Loved this sooo much! Reminds me of Sizzler. Popcorn shrimp was hot, fresh, and had a crispy batter! The actual popcorn bedding added to the theme :) 9/10 Ceviche - We got the Mexican style and it was good. Not as good at Kickin Shrimp, but it was a good appetizer to start with. 7/10 Clam Chowder - This clam chowder reminds me of Sizzler's clam chowder. It was creamy and thick, and had a few bits of clams. 7/10 Grilled Seafood Sampler - The fish was nice and flaky. Very flavorful with the seasoning that they used. The shrimp was nicely grilled. We were not a fan of the bell pepper that was on the skewer that bled into the shrimp itself. The flavor was a bit intrusive considering shrimp already has a light flavor. Finally the scallops were a pass. Just grilled, nothing amazing. 7/10 overall Shrimp Scampi Linguine - Not sure what the hype was about, but this was the most forgetful dish I had here. The linguini was a bit soft/overcooked, the fettuccini sauce was thick and not too cheesy, but more creamy, if that makes sense, and the shrimp was just shrimp (possibly the grilled shrimp) and was just drowned in the fettuccini sauce and lost any natural flavors it would've had. 3/10 Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream: Out of the disappointing Shrimp Scampi Linguini, the Lava cake made up for it. We do not usually get dessert, but we were sure glad we got this. Similar to the pazooki from BJ's, but a hot choco cake instead. I can do without the whipped cream though, since I don't like it too much. 8/10 Overall, this place is a small, quaint place for seafood. The appeal is the hometown feel, friendly service, all while providing good, affordable seafood. read more

Stopped in for the first time for lunch with a friend and sure am glad we did. This place is a classic example of a east coast fish shop. They do it all , fried , grilled , steaks , chicken But we got the classic Chowder , they have both white and red ( New England ) I had a sample plate of fried fish , shrimp, scallops with two sides rice and coleslaw. My friend had the same but grilled. Delicious food with excellent service. It was very busy for a Friday lunch so we sat at the counter and glad we did. The ladies working are extremely friendly and make the whole experience at the Shrimp House that much more enjoyable. Lots of parking and plenty of seating but things are made to order so it does take time to make good food. Wonderful place for lunch and dinner read more

Another reason I like Yelp. Traveling and looking for seafood. Shrimp House popped up. Place has been here I understand for over 40 years, with many of the employees here for 20 or more. It's not fancy (it's like a diner), but it's welcoming and comfortable. I like this kind of friendly, neighborhood-vibe, place. I ordered the Grilled Seafood Sampler with "light seasoning", plain baked potato and veggies. My partner got the Manhattan Chowder and the Surf and Turf (with grilled shrimp and sirloin), baked potato and veggies. Manhattan Clam Chowder - broth was a bit more thick than I'm used to, which I wasn't happy about, but there was a very peppery flavor which my partner and I both enjoyed. I wouldn't get it again because of the thickness of the broth, which I'm assuming was flour or some other thickener. (One reason I prefer Manhattan over Boston chowder is that the Boston uses cream, so it's rich and thick. I prefer the tomato-broth texture and flavor). The Grilled seafood sampler was very good. A nice piece of white fish and a skewer of shrimp and one of scallops. The skewers also had onion and green pepper, which enhanced the flavor. The veggies were well prepared and a good portion. The potato was good too. They did lighten the seasoning on my meal as I requested, which I appreciate. My partner liked the steak and shrimp and their sides also. The staff were friendly and attentive with water glasses and checking in from time to time. The place has a nice menu and the specials sound good. Although not a fancy place, a very solid place for seafood and other things. read more

I have driven past this place thousands of times, and I finally had a dying craving for a cup of white chowder so I thought this is finally the time. Picked up a cup during work lunch, it was velvety, thick, and had the perfect amount of veg and clams!! Definitely got the craving satisfied. Would definitely come back for more! read more

Shrimp House - Pint of White Clam Chowder - Seafood Near Me - Arcadia, California

Shrimp House (but for me it's always going to be Shrimp Ahoy) has been a long standing institution on the corner of Live Oak and Peck, or Myrtle if you traveling south. I still remember standing in line with my dad to pick up food there as a small child and studying the big fish up on the walls. Times have changed and we have grown but the fried shrimp and cocktail sauce remain perfect. They offer plenty of other wonderful options as well as a cozy atmosphere to dine in. The waitresses are always great and I look forward to my next visit. read more

I always drive by this place and looked up the reviews it's an old building but the food is fresh and very good. Online ordering was quick and easy. Only con to ordering online is the email confirmation you get does not show what you ordered until you click a few links to log into your account. While waiting the restaurant was clean and well lit. Cashier had a big smile, you can tell she happy to work there. read more

I love this place for a dinner vintage Americana experience. Decorated with pub and sea captain memorabilia it's a fun place to go. Service is beyond exceptional wait staff is ultra polite and accommodating. Food will not upset your stomach and is substantial diner food .

I have been here in a while, which is unusual because we love this place, especially my oldest son. Today three of us shared two plates and we left really full. We ordered Pirates combo and Ship combo. I loved their clam chowder and enjoyed our salad. The Ship combo included two sides and we got fries and veggies. We split some shrimp, fish and scallops and everything was very good. The service was great and our tea's and coffees were constantly filled. Great to see that this place has been around for such a long time. read more

The amazing staff always makes you feel welcome I absolutely love that about the Ladies up front I'm sorry. I didn't get there names. I will and come back and update this review. I had the Lunch Seafood Combination with Fries and a Side Salad and it was just as good as I remembered it! The food was cooked perfectly. It is a drive for me but I try to get out there when I can. The restaurant is clean and waitresses are very attentive which I was really appreciative of not to mention they are really funny! They made me laugh so much during my time there. This was my mom's choice every time she wanted to eat fish My mom passed away in 1986 so that says how long I've been eating at Shrimp House. Keep up the great work and the amazing food. Please hang in there! When you make amazing food like you do, people will come! read more

Me and my son have been going here for years off and on we had not been there on a long time. And we're surprised they changed the fish filets instead of a whole piece of fish they gave us some Gortons round minced fish portion soaked underneath wet with oil this was the middle of the week during lent so I dont know if they ran out of there normal stock or changed owners. Either way when the waitress asked me is I want my leftover fish packed to go I declined that was her cue to ask me if it was ok she did not. I did not recognize any of the staff. read more

Parking in the back. Greeted and seated right away. Everything on the menu looked so good! We ordered 2 plates of Pirates treasure with a choice of onion rings or fries and a side of manhattan chowder or white clam chowder. Manhattan has a of chile flavor to it. Our daughter ordered bone in spicy wings. Everything came out hot! That's how we like our food! However, in the end the food was just okay. My daughter ended up trashing 4/6 wings. She stated it tasted like it came from the freezer. Our fish also felt it came from frozen food. Didn't have any flavor. The breading wasn't stuck to the fish as well. The fried shrimp seems fresh and both chowders were good. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Overall, I would come back and try other items on their menu. read more

I think this place has one of the best white clam chowder I have ever had. If you love clam chowder try this place. The calamari appetizer is also pretty good but the other seafood entrees (fish, shrimp, scallop, etc) are just mediocre. For parents, the kids meals are good value at $7.99 for entree, drink, and dessert. They also have kids eat free Thursdays with purchase of adult entrees. read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner and it was quite busy. We ordered a shrimp sampler plate and the Pirate's Treasure which comes with a cup of clam chowder (we got the Boston clam chowder), 2 jumbo shrimp, 2 large shrimp and 2 Alaskan fish fillet. We chose sides of rice pilaf, French fries and steamed veggies. Our favorite was the grilled shrimp skewers and coconut shrimp. Everything came out quick and the server who helped us was quick to make recommendations for us. read more

Stopped by Shrimp House, a cozy neighborhood seafood joint, and decided to test the waters with the Traveler's Barrel--two golden fried jumbo shrimp and one Alaskan fish filet, with my choice of a garden salad and red beans & rice as sides. The Food: Shrimp: A bit overcooked and on the chewy side. Not exactly the plump, juicy bite I was hoping for. Fish Filet: More of a cornmeal crust than a crispy beer batter, which wasn't what I expected. Solid but nothing groundbreaking. Had a slight fishiness, but nothing too strong. Red Beans & Rice: The true MVP of the meal. Full-bodied, flavorful, and hearty--honestly, I could've just eaten a big bowl of this and been happy. Garden Salad: It was a salad. It did its job. My colleague ordered the clam chowder and gave it a solid 5/5, though they did note it was "almost too clammy," whatever that means. The Vibe: Definitely a neighborhood staple--locals seem to love it, and it's got that no-frills, old-school fish & chips feel. With surf & turf and chicken options, there's a little something for everyone. Would I rush back? Maybe not, but if I'm in the area and craving some red beans & rice, I know where to go. read more

We've been coming to the Shrimp House for many years, and I realized that I've never posted a review! We had not visited for several years, since before the pandemic. Since we were in the area, we decided to go for a late lunch. Well, I'm so happy to report that the food quality, some of the staff, service and everything remains the same. Such an enjoyable experience to be back after such a long time. We ordered our favorite---the fried shrimp with rice pilaf and coleslaw. They are known for their fried shrimp, and it is excellent... "Breaded daily, with our own special recipe, butterflied and golden fried." The red sauce for the shrimp that is on the table is really good, and you can also request tartar sauce. The rice pilaf and coleslaw are absolutely delicious too---they are my favorite accompaniments to the fried shrimp. JJ also loves their clam chowder, and ordered a cup of this as well. This is a family run business, a casual family restaurant with nautical decor, friendly, cheerful ambience and great customer service. JJ always loves to chat with the Owner Nick (when he is available) who is very friendly and personable and takes great pride in his restaurant. They've had great conversations over the years, and JJ has shared with Nick how we used to go to the original Shrimp House in El Monte back in the day. When the El Monte location closed, it merged with the current location in Arcadia, where we have been coming ever since. Highly recommended. read more

My family has been coming here for years! I've never did a review here but it's about time. I'm not a seafood fan but they have decent salmon fillet which I do love, is fish out of the other seafood options. They have really good fried shrimp if you want to try, which is what they are popular for. This place been around for years and popular in San Gabriel Valley. The food is always fresh and they have daily deal combos, which you can't deny. The restaurant is really clean and the service is phenomenal always with the same servers for years. This is good for family outings and some good lunch! They have a lot of seafood options, chicken, and steak. Shrimp house is pretty spacious and with cute decor. Some things have changed on the menu overtime due to COVID but still good! I recommend you come here if you like seafood and also their clam chowder is bomb. Easy accessible parking with big lot! read more

Came here for a birthday celebration and although they don't take reservations, if you call they will try to make it happen. Great service all around, attentive and although the fish tacos lunch special noted two sides on the menu, they forgot to update the menu and gave it to me anyway. The lunch special occurs Monday to Saturday and prices are very low. I can speak for my own meal which was two fish tacos and they actually were flavorless. My side of steamed vegetables were also mediocre. The other side was clam chowder and that was delicious. Perhaps when one goes to a shrimp house, best to order shrimp! I overheard the fries were good. For dessert, tried the peach cobbler and it was dominated by ice cream and very little cobbler. read more

Five star, sexy, succulent seafood abounds at the Shrimp House. As the name implies, this gem takes shrimp to cloud 9, but don't limit yourself there. They have a wide selection of fish and shellfish, even lobster, on the menu. The staff is friendly, and they make this intimate diner feel like a backyard fish fry. Service is speedy, and the shrimp are served hot and super crispy. I love the house cocktail sauce, which is lighter than most, not all ketchupy and sweet. Just add a little tabasco and thank me later. Big Plus is the Negra Modelo on tap. There's nothing like a cold, frothy draft beer to wash delicious fried shrimp and fish with. They also make killer grilled seafood. I love the sides, especially the coleslaw and red beans and rice. Absolutely delicious seafood experience on this unassuming corner yet super busy Live Oak and Myrtle intersection. Next time you're rushing by on the way home or to the mall stop in and get yourself some of the world's best friend shrimp... Definitely Top 3 in my opinion. read more

This was the first time me and my man went here for late lunch. First impressions were a little off for me. We were greeted but the staff didn't direct us properly to where we're going to seat. The staff just pointed in a direction and me and my man just walked in that direction and figured where to sit. It was awkward. We have a mix thought regarding the food. I ordered the steak and lobster which is market priced. I had it for $36 as a Sunday special and unfortunately, it wasn't worth it. The size of the lobster was not I was expecting and it was just the tail portion which is small. The lobster tail was not seasoned enough which tasted bland for me even the melted butter didn't help. I asked for a medium rare for my steak but they served me a rare one. When I sliced into the steak the blood like liquid came out from it and I can still see the pink color. It was hard to eat and it was too chewy. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I felt like I threw money on the drain. My man ordered the captain special for $20 and it was "ok" which made me wish I ordered that same one. I feel like it's a "hit or miss" for their menu, so I recommend to come here if you have extra money or you're not on a budget because we paid over $116 and I wasn't full and was still hungry. We ended up going to another restaurant that was worth it. On the bright side, I do recommend the coconut shrimp appetizer, the clam chowder was also good. The fried coconut banana was a hit for me for dessert. The view of the restaurant was ok. The seating was a little packed. Also, if you're ever going to use the bathroom just a heads up that the light is on timer, so If you're taking a while try not to panic if the light goes off. The sensor will be near the door so you have to go to it and activate the sensor. I personally would come back for the fried coconut banana split and the coconut shrimp as to go. I rate this place 3/5. Not too amazing but an "ok" experience. Another comment I have regarding the cleanliness of the restaurant. I looked at the edges of the windows and seats and there's dust and you can tell that management doesn't check the cleanliness of the restaurant before they open. This restaurant lacks standards. Basic hygiene standards like this do make me question if the kitchen is clean. I wouldn't take my family here, there was a homeless man with an overwhelming stench who came in and it took time for the staff to handle the situation. Not even sure if a manager was close by. I think there should be a staff at the door so situations like this can be managed and monitored properly. read more
