I have told my wife back in the late 60s my family would get shrimp diners with jumbo shrimp about 3β wide and 4β long. I am not sure if she believed me because we always buy shrimp and we have never found any near that size. Well last weekend I took my family to the shrimp house in Arcadia and as advertised they had the biggest and best shrimp I have had since 1968. Our family tried all kinds of things on the menu, cheese burgers, chicken strips, various fish plate, jumbo shrimp, grilled cheese sandwich, and amazing deserts, hot cobbler pie with ice cream. The only thing better than the food was the great service. I can not say enough we drove 45 minutes each way and it was worth every minute. Our thanks to a great place to eat with the best Shrimp in California.

The atmosphere was great. I love the nautical theme. The food was also good. I ordered the steak (medium well) and golden fried shrimp (jumbo). It included two sides. I chose fries and rice pilaf. The fries were crunchy, the rice was soft. My wife ordered the Clam chowder bread bowl, and a fish taco. For dessert we ordered the coconut banana a la mode, and a peach cobbler a la mode.. I am not much of a seafood food person, and can't stand the smell of fish. The restaurant was clean and the service was very friendly. Our server Laura was great, interacting with the customers.
This place has an old fashioned diner atmosphere. Vinyl seats at the counter and cozy booths.
It's very friendly and the staff looks like they've been working there for a while.
It also appeared to be filled with regulars as the conversation with the wait staff was very casual.
The portions were big, the food was tasty and the price was very reasonable.
All in all it was a delicious dinner.
Love this place and great service!!
Go there often from San Gabriel, best fish around this area!
Shrimp is always cooked just right and not greasy.

I've been coming to the Shrimp House for years. The food is great and the service even better! My favorite is the catfish!
First time here, the food was delicious, shrimp, scallops, fish and dessert was awesome fried coconut banana, with vanilla ice cream, and whip cream. Yummy to the tummy!
I've been eating there as far back as I can remember. I use to go with my father when I was a toddler. Dear ole Dad loved that place in El Monte. The great thing is when I went there yesterday we were served by the same lady that served us back in the day and she still looks great serves great and still has a wonderful personality as she did back in the day.
Not to mention the food still has the same great taste.
I have been going there since 1971. I loved it than and I still love it now. I'm glad that since they changed owners that they haven't changed the food. They have added more items to their menu. We love the jumbo shrimp and the amazing fish. The fish is large pieces and doesn't taste fishes. We love it so much that we go a least once a week.
My husband and I drive from Palmdale just to eat lunch at the Shrimp House. The food is outstanding, and customer service is excellent. My husband has been eating at the Shrimp House since he was 17 years of age, and he is now 69 years old. 5 stars. Never had a bad meal!
Great place to eat and reasonable price. You get to chose medium, large and jumbo Shrimp. Golden fried Alaskan Filet are delicious.
Great food, great people! I would highly recommend you eat there!

We have driven by Shrimp House so many times and finally decided to stop in. We were pleasantly surprised at the environment. There is an extensive menu with a focus on fried shrimp and fried fish.
My son had shrimp cocktail and enjoyed it. My husband had the coconut shrimp and a salad. Everything was fresh and tasty. I had the tempura fish tacos. They were tasty and the fish was good.
For dessert the peach cobbler was delicious.
The best Fish, Shrimp, Fried Clams, and Scallops I have ever eaten. So fresh and delicious. Not greasy at all. Service was great. I highly recommend it.
