| About Shrimp King Many people in the Central Jersey region and beyond agree: Shrimp King is a great place to enjoy the freshest seafood, cooked to order and prepared to please any seafood lover’s palate, without taking a heavy chunk out of your wallet. But we’re not only about seafood. We have many other entrees to choose from – such as pork chops, chicken dishes, veal, and authentic Greek gyros with our own homemade tzatziki sauce, plus juicy filet mignon and New York steaks. Even if you don't like seafood you can still enjoy a great meal for a great price. Shrimp King is a restaurant and seafood market located on 1111 Rt. 130 in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Our market has only the freshest and best fish and shrimp available. Our fine suppliers deliver fresh every day, which means that you can be assured that our seafood is the freshest you can find. Shrimp King was originally founded in 1975, but has been owned and operated by the Skopas family since 1990. Some of our older neighbors may remember the place as a takeout shack, but the Skopas family have completely renovated the building into a cozy casual place to dine in comfort. Pete and Potoula Skopas truly love to bring their customers the finest food and service you deserve from a family restaurant. Pete is in his late seventies now and he has pretty much given over the day-to-day running of the business to his son Gus, but you can still see Pete every time you come in, and he still makes Shrimp King’s incredible homemade soups every morning. You won’t find a better lentil or split pea soup anywhere else, and that includes any overpriced Chambersburg restaurant. You have to come to the King and experience for yourself the amazing mix of true high-quality food and inexpensive prices. Gus and his brother and sister Ted and Mary Jo carry on the family tradition and run Shrimp King to perfection, just as it always has been. Don’t just take it from me: Shrimp King is a two- time winner of the Trentonian’s Best Of Poll for Best Seafood Restaurant and Best Crabcakes. Don’t drive to Maryland to get gouged for Chesapeake Bay crabcakes, the crabcakes at the Shrimp King are the authentic real deal, and surprisingly affordable. All in all, the Shrimp King is the only place you need to know about in Central NJ for the finest and freshest meals. |
