Crab legs were fresh and tasty. Felt like we got our moneys worth. The service could’ve been better. I heard one server tell a party that he could offer them the happy hr bar specials even though we were in the main dining room and then tell another party that they couldn’t. They were slow and not generous or anticipatory with the refills but when requested we were able to get more crab.

Heard great things about this restaurant, so I was super excited to take my sister, nephew and niece who were visiting me as I just moved here. Service honestly sucked, asked 4 times for water refill, didn’t get it. Also asked for the cajun butter, which also never came. The table next to us, waiter, did a great job of the run down of the menu/sides, etc and ours didn’t do any of that. Food was mid, honestly was disappointed, ended up order take out on our way home.

My family, a party of six, had an incredible experience at King Crab! We celebrated our son’s 25th birthday with a bang! Our Waiter Daniel, was informative, attentive, and a great personality ♥️ we indulged in calamari, stuffed mushrooms and u peel em shrimp to go with our delicious Mai Tai’s! Then of course the famous KING crab legs! They were succulent and incredibly tasty! Topped the night with limoncello cake and Grand Marnier- all at incredibly reasonable prices! Unheard of in these days of price gouging! Both food and drinks at very fair prices. Highly recommend! We will be back ♥️
