I loved this place. It was my first time trying seafood bake and this place delivered. Now I'm in NYC looking for places to have this food again. The menu was easy to maneuver, we didn't wait too long but I had my margarita to sip on so I was good. Wish the drink had a bit more alcohol, I felt cheated there. If I came back to Waco I would definitely return here. read more

Killer Crab and Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Waco, Texas

Absolutely amazing seafood. Been coming since they opened. My family and I have tried many items and all have been great. I am so happy we have a seafood place that has exactly what I want. The food is amazing, seasoned and flavorful. Love that it's not overpriced like some other places. I enjoy the atmosphere. I used to drive to Austin to have seafood and now I don't have to drive. The owners are such good people and are on top of things. Thank you so much for having amazing food. To those reading this message...you need to try it. read more

Low quality customer care. I ordered a large gumbo--- when they handed the soup to me, I questioned that is was small, they assured me it was their LG. it was maybe 2 cups the most for a large gumbo soup. I came home opened it to find it less then half filled, I got less then a cup of soup. I paid $17. plus tip. 20$. Then when I called to let them know that they didn't fill my cup up, they assured me that that was the accurate amount of soup. I asked them for the name of their higher up, They hung the phone up on me, refused to acknowledge this problem. The restaurant was in disarray as will. read more

Food was delicious love me a good ol sea food boil bag. Will be back again to get this very soon

The waiter was sweet as can be and very apologetic, but waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for our seafood to come out and it was barely even warm.. just tasted like the butter it was covered in.. no flavor at all.. won't be back read more

Let me start with the positive. We had, The Pew Pew, chargrilled Oysters & lobster Bisque....WOW I wasn't really expecting it to be so good, I mean it's Waco?! But the food was amazing 6 star!!! Now the not so good...Dear Owner, The doors should open at 11 not 11:04. I even called at 11:02 because doors were still locked - but no one answered! Next, the food came out sporadically. I would have expected the soup first, but the Oyster came first, then the Pew pew then soup. (Check your camera we sat at bar.) Next, I ran out of water, watched the server walk right past me got a water thought it was for me or the table behind us, but no, it was for herself where she return back to her spot at the end of the bar on her phone. The first time we were asked if we needed anything else was we were nearly done. I don't want to get pestered but certainly more than at the end of the meal. A wet napkin would be a great addition when eating The Pew Pew! The towelettes are not enough. Next is the music. All Latin...mix it up? We will definitely be back. The food makes up for A LOT!!!! This place has tremendous potential get the service elevated - and it will get great reviews!!! read more

Our server, Tyler, was incredible!! He was efficient, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed. We talked to almost every staff member including the head chef, and they were all extremely welcoming and helpful. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and ambiance. The food was also incredible! We had the pew pew seafood boil with the boudin balls. Everything was extremely flavorful, and they even showed us how to open the crab. Definitely coming back here! read more

I got the seafood boil and Carlos (the cook in the back) put his FOOT in this food!! The market price for the king crab was beyond reasonable ($66 the day I went). The added items (potatoes, sausage, eggs, corn) were slightly on the expensive side, but well worth it. First post-deployment meal since returning from the Middle East and I made the best decision. Customer service was also great. Our server was personable and relatable. read more

Food Review: I ordered the fried catfish + sweet potato fries. Admitted this is probably the worst catfish I've ever eaten. Where is the salt? In both items. And I swear I pulled out a parasite from inside the fish. Served with no dipping sauce. read more

Killer Crab and Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Waco, Texas

Great place to eat nice bar great drinks and the service was amazing. Great conversation

I did a review on this place before and the last thing I wrote was "Eat here at your own risk" because there were actual little, tiny bugs moving hopping in food. When I bought it to the attention of the manager, they offered to recook and would not refund my money. Thank God my credit card did after seeing pictures - Now read below for yourself, copied from their inspection. Killer Crab at 130 North New Road in Waco failed a renewal inspection with a 67. According to the food safety worker, there was a container of moldy, cooked food in the walk-in cooler that had to be thrown out. The raw beef was stored above the iced tea. There was a black substance on soda gun, unlabeled liquid inside some chemical spray bottles, and the business could not produce the oysters' stock records. The cooked potatoes, eggs, and corn didn't have any use by dates. This place needed a re-inspection. read more

Service was absolutely terrible! Not to mention the outrageous price for some seafood that had no flavor, just tasted like butter. Paid $100 for a small size plate which that had to trade for something different because crawfish was dirty. The waitresses also tipped herself $20. Would not recommend read more

This was the worst meal and experience we've had in years. There was a giant sign on the door saying "NO REFUNDS". That should've been our first indication to turn around and leave. We waited forever in a empty restaurant for someone to seat us. We sat down and the menus were filthy. Covered in grease and old food. The seats were too. The table was covered in plastic so it could've been filthy underneath, we couldn't tell. The waitress seemed to not know the menu or seem to not want to learn it and when asked about the market price of items, she was unprepared. Our order came out one by one. Some of the meals were 5-15 minutes apart. So some of our party had finished eating while others were just getting their meal. Completely unorganized and no responsibility taken. We wondered if it was a front to something else (nefarious?) vs being ab actual restaurant- that's how much they. Did. Not. Care. The crab was over cooked, dry and really light on the weight. Some of the legs were completely empty on several of our clusters. The waitress quoted by the pound but we were served one cluster, which is very different than by the pound. Some of the clusters, I would guess were maybe 1/4 of a lb? No soap in the women's bathroom. The crab butter was all over our hands and we had to wipe off with napkins and wash at home- gross. The soda machine only had water and they laughed and said it hadn't worked for over a week (?!) and we paid for drinks. Overall it was a complete waste of time and money and we ended up going to a drive through and hour later because we were still hungry. read more

First time here and it was super yummy! We usually travel out of town for our seafood boils but Killer Crab hit the spot. My sister had the knife with medium spiciness and she said it was not too spicy, I had the Uzi with mild spiciness and was very buttey, garlicy, with a whisper of spice (which I loved). Our waitress, LaToya was SUPER hospitable & patient with us, 10/10 customer service! The ambience was great! The playlist was soo good we had to ask for it. I like how spaced out the tables are and bonus points that they provided gloves and bibs! planning on bringing our parents and friends back here soon read more

The initial greet at door the food service is horrible. The server wasn't attentive nor knowledgeable at all about menu. She wasn't able to answer basic questions as to what in the entrées such as if it was mild spicy or types of sauce. She was slow and served some dishes way before others came out and we all ordered at same time. Most of the food was served cold including appetizers. Waitstaff were sitting in dining room eating and drinking then would get up to serve customers without washing hands. For some reason the employees were going in and out door to side of the building even though they had tables to attend. We got only one refill because our server was busy going outside and we decided to leave when some of people from our table happened to be in restroom with her and after she finished her business walked straight out restroom and to our table. Although the food tasted ok in spite of being served cold the prices are deal breaker. The food prices are way to high especially for such small portions and terrible service. I drove over an hour to eat there so I definitely will not be eating there ever again and certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. read more

Ordered a burger for lunch. Lightly seasoned. Ordered cajun fries with it. They were curly fries with no seasoning on them. Disappointing . I ordered from the lunch menu. where the burger was listed at $16. The regular menu price was $18. When my check came out I was charged the $18 price. I pointed it out to the waitress and showed her that the lunch price was two dollars less. She agreed, but said she could not plug it into the computer, that way that it still came out as $18. I asked her to go tell the manager so maybe he could reprogram the computer. She came back and said yes it was a glitch but he couldn't do anything about it and so I would have to pay $18 for the burger. not very professional probably won't return read more

All food we ordered are delicious! Little bit bland but I prefer that than salty. Super crispy breadings, cooked perfectly crunchy outside and moist inside. We love every bit of it! Yes for all but the calamari is the bomb! They have different flavor of dipping sauce, I like the firecrackers. We will definitely come back! read more

Love this place! Our family goes quite often. Full of flavor and I love that the shrimp is halfway peeled already.

If I could give this zero stars I would, the food sucked and the service was even worse. Spent a lot of money on shit food. The bathrooms were disgusting and the whole restaurant smelled terrible. DO NOT EAT HERE. UNLESS YOU LIKE FOOD POISONING. read more

Very rarely I complain ...the waitress she took our order never wrote it down! It came out and was wrong evidentially it was the table next to ours. Had to freaking flag her down to come back I hate doing that !!! only 3 tables are occupied so it's not like they are busy she took it back to the kitchen and it was so obvious she tied back up the back and gave it back to the ppl next to us! I've never had such bland food for the price also she never brought lemons that I asked for had to go get our own refills and had to go find her to actually pay so we could leave! I wish I had of read the reviews before coming I would of drove another hour to go somewhere else!! read more

Highly recommended! My wife and I went for dinner, and had a great meal. This is not your top of the line seafood joint but still very good. The raw oysters were pretty good as was the crab, the shrimp and everything else, to include the service! read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. The staff was amazing! Our waitress was wonderful. A cook even came out to check to see if we enjoyed our food. I had the Pew Pew with garlic butter. The crab and shrimp were a nice size and fresh! The entree tasted amazing! Our table also had catfish, the chicken tenders and The Knife. Everything tasted great and was just the way we ordered it. I highly recommend and will be going back soon! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Went in and ordered a cup of soup. 25 minutes in the waitress came and asked if I wanted to order something. Told her I ordered soup and she said oh I'll go check. Then she had the nerve to tell me " oh were really busy". There were 4 tables that had people. When I asked to see the manager she said he was busy. So I left. I did have a watered down diet coke that I told her she could pay for for my wasted time. What an absolute joke!!! Very over priced too. If you're smart ... stay away!!! read more

Had a pretty decent boil bag I would def be going back the service was pretty quick also

I don't think food rates oysters were strong smelling about 4 days old hot crab dips was a paste the shrimp in a bag was good read more

Killer Crab and Seafood - a tray of chips and a bowl of dip - Seafood Near Me - Waco, Texas

We ordered food with a tab of 80.00 + a tip. Yep, 100.02! We took food out of restaurant in the containers they put it in. 3 orders of butterfly shrimps and 2 orders of gumbo. Again, in their containers which we immediately opened to eat. My grandson opened his and noticed something moving. I kid you not! If it had not moved, we would not have noticed it. A black something of a bug....... crawling through the shrimp. They wanted to remake my food ..uhhhhhh - No Thank you Sir, I will pass. If the food is cooked fresh, perhaps the bugs were picked up in the to go plate. Of course they would not give me a penny back on that tab...but that's Ok, maybe 100.00 was worth me not having a bigger doctor bill. Eat at your own risk! I know people play games, but I am well able to pay for my food and they had the proof by the previous bills we tabbed up in there. All I wanted was for them to be fair read more

Overall, the food was good, ordered the Pew Pew, garlic noodles and the bomb chicken sandwich (it was great) but the waitress was the absolute worst I have come across! Its like she was never trained. Brought our drinks but no straws, had to get up and get ourselves. Brought our food with no napkins or silverware, also had to get up and ask for some. Also had to get up and pay our ticket. When asked for lemon she served beer to 2 tables before retrieving our lemons. BAD service! read more

I hate to say this, but the food just wasn't good. First of all, we ordered an appetizer of boudain balls and were informed they didn't have them. Then my girlfriend asked for a crawfish dish and was told they had none of those either. I can understand as it's early in the season so these might not always be available, but still, a bad pattern was taking shape. Next she asked for the lobster Mac and cheese only to be told they didn't have that either. At that point we should have gone elsewhere, but we stayed. My GF settled for a cup of gumbo and a cup of lobster bisque. I'm from Cajun country and have eaten a lot of gumbo, but nothing quite like she was served which tasted more like a chemical compound and was inedible. When my order of shrimp and catfish arrived it looked like I'd nailed it. A large catfish fillet and several plump shrimp were nested inside enough French fries for an army. The shrimp didn't disappoint, but the catfish was a paper thin piece covered by a thick, bland tasting crust. Sorry, but after my experience, I can't recommend this place. read more

Food is ok, service horrible there was absolutely no spice even when I asked for hot I will never be back here I'll stick to peewee's crab cakes in Hewitt read more

this store has very poor customer service and is not on the clean side , the first waiter we had left for 30 minutes and we had to get another waiter. the waiter was touching lemons with her bare hands after dealing with cash and touching the computer screen.... food had no seasoning , tasted like PURE BUTTER asked for medium and burn but none of it was spicy. and also the waiter was touching her nose before she went out to serve another table. read more

Killer Crab and Seafood - Pew Pew seafood boil - Seafood Near Me - Waco, Texas

Exceeded our expectations. All the seafood was fresh. Very reasonably priced , excellent service , very clean a winner , we will return.

Took an hour to get our food after putting in the orders. Lobster tail I ate was undercooked and raw in the middle. Currently experiencing food poisoning symptoms as I type out this review. Expecting puke and diarrhea within the next hour. read more

they are trash sauce nasty and they charge me $22 to sit down then said they couldn't take it off because it automatically goes in the system I will never go back to this place read more

The food is always great when we come and the waitress is fun, energetic and super helpful. This is our go to seafood boil in Waco.

These people that wrote bad reviews on this place are absolute idiots. They must be some hicks that have no idea what they are talking about. I'm from Corpus Christi Texas and grew up with seafood. This place has great food the broil was on point the shrimp fried rice was great the beer was ice cold the services was amazing ask for Destiny she's top notch! If you go to this place ask for her!! read more

The service could've been better and the food was ok! I ordered online, I arrived 10mins after the time I was told the food would be ready and I still waited an additional 15mins to receive my food. I placed my order at 12:26, pick up time was 12:56. I arrived at 1:06 and didn't get my food until 1:36!! When I got my food I noticed that the crab cakes were missing, so I had to go back to get them. They were not fresh at all and they were overcooked. While I was there I could see the cooks in the back and one of them was wearing a long silver necklace while preparing food...I'm sure that's a food safety violation. Overall this place needs better service, better staff and better quality of food. read more

Should have listened and read the other reviews as most were right on. Was at the Waco location. Food was good to great. The corn, potatoes and sausage were amazing, most likely the best I have ever had, the shrimp was good and the crab ok. However you have to ask and wait for everything (silverware, sweetener, refills) as they don't bring them out initially and rarely check on how you are doing. Plenty of staff but most were talking to each other and several just outside the front door smoking. Any request was grudgingly attended to. The menus needed to be cleaned and with the food covered in a buttery substance it is messy, but its seafood, so somewhat expected. Bill was high, but most seafood is these days, but the bottom line is the food good and in some cases great, but the service is lousy. Hope they figure things out as could be a neat place. read more

This review is for the Waco, TX location. Met our daughter and her family here today. We stood at the desk where a menu was and waited and waited. Finally a female came out and said hi. We were seated after that. It was not like it was busy...there were only 2 customers in the place. When I received my snow crab claws it was in a bag with the garlic butter also in the bag. The only way to eat it was with your hands. I had garlic butter under my rings and it was disgusting. As I tried to get the crab out I found some did not have any crab in them and the ones that did only had 3/4 to 1/2 crab - way overcooked. My daughter paid $115 for our meals and water for 4 adults and a child. Two of the adults left there hungry. read more

I walked into immediate disappointment ordering food here. My order was made online and when I arrived it seemed nobody was aware my order existed, but of course it was sitting on a rack the whole time. I ordered the "Uzi" which is advertised as 1lb crawfish, 1lb shrimp, and two crab clusters. This review should be taken more as a warning than anything. The price point for what I got is outrageous. Just shy of $100 after tax and $8 tip gets you get a "two person meal" barely suitable for a 12 year old kid. I am genuinely sad I paid for food here. I cannot imagine they will be in business for long. All in all, if you plan on coming here just know it will cost you. The only reason I have two stars is for the food. I will happily say it is at par for a "decent" seafood spot. read more

Bad menus. I ordered the Butterflied Shrimp plate which the menu stated it included fries and hushpuppies. I stated to the waiter that I wanted hushpuppies with my meal. The plate arrived without hushpuppies. I asked about the missing menu item. The waiter went to the kitchen and came back. She stated that hushpuppies were for catfish plates only. Also, that if I wanted hushpuppies that I would have to order them separately and pay extra regardless of what the menu stated. They didn't proofread their printed menu. Then they took delight in being rude about not bringing me what I ordered. I won't be back. read more
