bigSHRIMPS Fish Grill

Go for the spice... Good food and staff. Lemon pepper was a little too oily for me but the taste was good

Absolutely wonderful experience. My mom and I stopped in here today after going through a really rough morning from losing our dog :( The server had no idea what kind of day we were having, but she made our lunch such a wonderful occasion. The food was amazing, and the service was 11/10. Thank you so much!

Lobster was good. Mussels were tasty. Chelada delicious. Would definitely eat here again.

Been opened a bit now and there will always be necessary changes within a string of other restaurants that consumers will make comparisons. Had a bday celebration there tonight and I have to say that things are great from the service to the quality of the food. Not a single complaint from a group of 25 people. That's saying a lot.

Just tried this place for the first time, was on a hunt for seafood. The gal that greeted me was very helpful explaining options and recommendations. The food was brought out fast, hot and delicious. Not only yummy, but a fun experience. I’ll be back soon!

food is very yummy and service is really good, waiter always comes and checks on you! 10/10

OMG, a friend recommended this restaurant. I loved the food and the service. The prices are very reasonable and fair. I'm surprised I haven't been there before. The server said they had been open for almost a year. I would definitely go back.

Incredibly delicious. The entire food was amazing. Just enough spice and taste. The manager Junior served us and he was fantastic. Very sociable and made sure we were ok. We went on a Monday night during happy hour, the place wasn’t busy.

The service was great! We were greeted immediately and allowed to seat ourselves. Our order was taken promptly and was served in a timely manner. The atmosphere was very laid back with a nice variety of pop music playing in the background. The food was hot and flavorful. No complaints here!

Stinkin Crawfish was delicious, the service was great when we went to go pick up and they are very careful with COVID during the pickup. They provide papers for the table, make sure to tell them how many pieces you need, they will give you multiple sheets if needed. They provide bibs to make sure the sauce doesn’t get all over your white shirt. We got 2 catfish combos, 2 shrimp combos (1 garlic butter - no spice, 1 stinkin special - mild) 3 sets of park chicken wings, gumbo and 1 Mac and cheese. The Mac and Cheese was really good, it tasted really cheesy without being super thick. Chicken wings were delicious and crunchy. The coleslaw that comes with the catfish combo was so good. They include raisins and pineapples in it and they end up tasting sweet and refreshing. The sauce for the shrimp combo with Garlic Butter was great for the kids that didn’t like spice. Super flavorful, I can imagine taking that sauce and putting it over sauce. I would definitely go back and purchase more delicious food.

This is one of our go to restaurants whenever we want seafood. It is so much fun to eat and makes it more exciting to eat their food using our hands with plastic gloves that they’ll provide for you, as we all know it’s easier to eat this type of food by hand. And they’ll give you a plastic bib as well so you don’t make an accident and have a splatter of food & sauce on your shirt. And they gave us delicious free dessert. Yum! Love it! Love it! Love it!

the service was great, loved the energy of the server despite it being 7-8 pm on a weekend. the seafood boil was bomb, would definitely come back again!

My friends and I met there after attending a Health Fair for Black History Month sponsored by Monrovia Duarte Black Alumni Association. The three of us grew up together. We had a great time as you can see!

Honestly I hadn't been to a seafood place like this in years and really wasn't expecting much except to have an enjoyable time with my friend catching up. But I was so pleasantly surprised. The server was great and helpful, the staff was kind and pleasant and both the managers came by to check on us. The food was delicious and very economical considering how much going out has increased in price, I was doubly surprised at the quality of my food and how affordable it was. Everything was great! Thanks to this Stinkin crawfish for a great experience this store needs to be open more a early and specially on the weekends.

Love this place. The man that's always there. Im guessing he's the owner. He's very friendly and nice and good customer service. I come all the time with my mom and kids. We love the food.

The food was great and the service is really good I would recommend

Stinkin Crawfish is a pleasant surprise for seafood lovers in Monrovia. The seafood boils are incredible, with generous portions and well-seasoned with lots of garlic and a kick of spice. The lobster stands out as the highlight, perfect for special occasions. The mussels are also a must-try, cooked to perfection. In addition to the seafood, the sides at Stinkin Crawfish are equally impressive. From the fried calamari to the new fish and chips dish, everything is well-cooked and seasoned to perfection. Don't miss out on the oysters either, as they are huge and excellently priced. The restaurant itself is cozy and not too crowded, making it a great spot for quiet dates or casual family events. The parking is safe and offers plenty of parking. The staff at Stinkin Crawfish is friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations. If you're in the area and looking to try a different seafood boil place, Stinkin Crawfish comes highly recommended. Looking forward to celebrate Valentine’s Day 🍻🍹🎊♥️with my family.

Very friendly customer service and great food. Our waiter was attentive the whole time. They also served us a complimentary desert with our meal.

Was really excited to try this spot after they assumed new management, love the area love this location, every time I’ve gone it’s been little to no wait & the food comes out fast !

Finally made my way down and it did not disappoint.

I used to come here a lot when it was Big Shrimp, so when they changed into a Crawfish joint, I've got to give them a try! I ordered a little bit of everything from shrimps, mussels, something from the fries, some veggies. They are all pretty good and I recommend you go try them.

Lobster, coleslaw, and wait time, all good. UPDATE: Last time the corn was reasonably priced! Will be back.

Went here for the first time. The sauce was not too salty and just the right amount of heat for medium. Their snow can legs were fresh and juicy, but their clans were not as fresh. The green marks m mussels were decent. I really wanted the king crab legs but they didn't have it. I guess there is a shortage. The fish and chips were fresh and tasty with a side of garlic and cajun fries was perfect.

We came here with another family for a bite to eat before a show. The place was empty at 4pm on a Saturday. We were greeted warmly and sat at long bench. The restaurant provided plastic bibs and gloves if you request it. Everything is very similar to boiling crab, but without the 2 hour wait. We ordered a pound of head on shrimp with sausage and corn in the stinkin special sauce to split between my husband and I. We got medium and it had a good kick. The shrimp was pretty tasty dipped in the sauce. The sausage was good too, but the corn tasted mushy like it was frozen or cooked for too long. The kids got the fish and chips plate, which was pretty substantial. It came with fries and coleslaw. At the end of the meal, everyone received the complimentary dessert of deep fried Oreo and vanilla ice cream. Overall it was good experience and love there’s no wait for large parties. We will come back to try other items on the menu.

Food is always good,the portions are abundant, but they have 1 and a half server's meaning that it was one and the other would disappear for a while and they put us in a corner booth and forgot us.

Great location, delicious fish dishes and friendly staff, but do not order the hot wings too small however delicious they are not meaty. I will come back to order more delicious Catfish but never again the hot wings.

Hot tip, Fish Taco Tuesday: $.99 & shrimp $1.49! And they're nice and tasty! The shrimp was surprisingly plump and big. Can't beat this price, Imma bring friends back for Tues movie night at the theater. The corn tortilla, cabbage etc tasted right and fresh. Beers are all bottles $5+ but they gotta make $ somehow. My 2 fish 1 shrimp lunch was less than my beer, a well balanced lunch. P.S. chips are crispy w a lil salt. Nice. Room for improvement: Environmental impact. Paper plates, plastic cups for salsa... You're a sit down restaurant, use real plates please and don't add to the plastic/trash problem. Choose to reuse. Thanks!

Willing to try again but was not impressed with the tough calamari, the small portions of sausage, and essentially flavorless lobster. The sauce it came in was good as a leftover to mix with steamed veggies the next day. Willing to go back and try fish and chips, which is a good staple for most places before passing final judgement on it.

The flavors of the sauces were good but I had a bad upset stomach after eating here, but in the restaurants defense I have a sensitive stomach. I liked the shrimp and lobster tail I got but I don't I would got back. Not my thing

Food is amazing don't get me wrong. Service was also p good but they said they were open 12-9 or something like that. We get there 3.45 and they were closed for lunch 3-4. Okay all good workers deserve a break. We only wait 15 till they open. Wrong. We waited another hour 15 before they opened at 5pm. We were just about to leave and they finally opened. Frustrating experience to say the least. Truly left a stinky feeling in my mouth.

Sauce for shrimp was terrible. And the stuffed jalapeno peppers weren't great either. The server was very nice and the atmosphere was reasonable.

Missing items, bad service and I was blamed for their mistake. I ordered the Triple Threat, it came with no sausage. I also ordered the Crabby Lobster, it came with no lobster tails, and no spice. I spent $140 on 2 bags of seafood, so I called back to complain, the employee says, I told you to check. Like it was my fault. I checked a plastic bag, inside a brown paper bag, with people waiting for their turn behind me. Of course I will miss it. I didn't know I had to take the bag out and count piece by piece!!

Usually it’s always good. But today it was very disappointing, they gave me good service in serving me food when it was close to closing time, but if your gonna serve me do it right. I ordered a 2 pounds one of the bags Bearly had sauce and one of them looks like it’s a half pound.

Got horrible food poisoning from here do not go. Had seafood boil, only shrimp.

Order online or call before you go. They will close early if it's slow. The door was unlocked, but as soon I entered the restaurant, 2 employees yelled "We're closed!" If the restaurant were no longer serving customers, why was your door unlocked? So they must clock out at 8:30 pm. Suggestions: Post the time online for "food service ends at" to order. SMH.

Man!! If you like garlic, this is the place for you. The shrimp literally tasted like you were chewing on a piece of garlic. Snow crab same thing. Had sooooo much garlic that it clogged my sink. Waste of $100.

We tried the fried butterfly shrimp, fried catfish, and hush puppies. The breading on all the fried items did not taste good, and seeing as it made up 75% of the meal, made it very unenjoyable. I couldn't even finish my plate. The fries were bland. Hush puppies were just okay, but not the best. Pretty sad this replaced one of our regular go-to places in Monrovia (Big Shrimps), which was at least semi-healthy and tasty. Will not be returning.

The service sucked, girl in the dodgers sweater was terrible. She was literally talking to her coworker the entire time not checking on the only two tables she had. The whole entire place had two tables and she couldn’t check on them.

First and last time I’m ordering from this place. First of all, I was disappointed with the sauce. It was just bland. Most of the seafood boils I’ve had is reddish and some spiciness to it. The sauce here is yellowish-orange, mainly tons of garlic and butter, with no kick. It’s suppose to be Cajun!!! I paid for a pound of shrimp and crab legs but there was hardly any seafood for $70.

I drove all the way to Monrovia..from San Gabriel , to compare with other Crawfish brands around my area. What is most impressive is the lone beautiful face of the waitress. I ordered a pound of crawfish to test. The sauce she recommended was the combination of both on the list..garlic pepper and lemon butter and a cup of rice. An older lady came out with tbe bag, who I suspected was the cook.That was quite efficient. Now here comes the real deal, what was in the double bag was a obviously frozen crawfish swimming in a pool of soupy lemon juice and the rec ipe that was promised. Driving back to San Gabriel, my wife's comment will be better left unsaid. But anyways thanks tovthe pretty faced lady who gave us the dessert with another complimentary extra. I hope this comment was fair and constructive. Thank you.
