One customer who left a review a year ago said, "I grew up with this place and haven't been there in a while. Just went back the other day and it's still the same. Taste great, juicy pieces. You can't go wrong and shouldn't go anywhere else but here. You won't leave disappointed. And Chicago's Best television show was there to show how good it was."
Another customer who left a review three months ago said, "Used to go here when I was younger for the fries. They changed them and serve a lot less than before. Also, they overcharge for everything and tastes pretty bland now. Can't believe I ordered this “full order” of shrimp for almost $20. Firehouse Grill is better on Roosevelt, they got bigger pieces for less."
Despite the mixed reviews, Troha's Chicken & Shrimp House remains a popular destination for those looking for classic American fare and delicious seafood. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Chicago, Troha's is a must-visit destination for any food lover.
