Chicago Shrimp House & Seafood Restaurant Since 1917

Troha’s Chicken & Shrimp House is widely recognized as Chicago’s original shrimp house since 1917, serving fresh, hand-breaded fried shrimp, fish and chips (premium cod), catfish, and its signature crab nuggets. Every order is cooked fresh to order, continuing a tradition that has made Troha’s a staple for fried seafood in Chicago for over 100 years.

Located in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, Troha’s offers shrimp dinners, shrimp feasts, seafood catering, and family meals available for pickup and delivery across Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Troha’s Chicken & Shrimp:
Seafood & Shrimp House Since 1917

Troha’s Chicken & Shrimp

Chicago’s Original Shrimp House — Since 1917

Troha’s Chicken & Shrimp House has served Chicago continuously for more than a century. Family-run since 1917, we are proud to be the original shrimp house in Chicago, known for hand-breaded seafood cooked fresh to order.

We prepare lightly battered fried shrimp, classic sides, and original salads made fresh daily from long-standing recipes. All seafood is hand-breaded and cooked when you order — available for lunch, dinner, and catering.

Troha’s remains a staple of Chicago’s food culture by doing things the right way: respecting tradition while adapting to how people eat today.

Same place. Same taste. Since 1917.
