The food was delicious! The butter Cajun sauce is incredible! Must go! I will return!!

Have some serious craving. My friend and I stopped in around 8ish on a Sunday.. We ordered a dozen of garlic butter roasted oysters 3/5: overwhelmingly full of garlic. I mean there won't be any vampires coming near me for a week. A bag of 1 lbs of snow crabs, 1lbs of no heads shrimps, potatoes, and corns 5/5. Nicely seasoned. Good quality and soo good. 1 lb of King Crab: 1/5 this is the worst seafood I have ever tried. It's dry, chalky, you can taste the freezer burn. It's just awful.. And for the amount of money we paid. Which is about $80 a lb. We have to be a Karen.. Our waitress were great and tried to fix the problem the best that she can. But we were there for the King Crab. We switched out for an additional lb of snow crabs legs instead. With the amount of seafood restaurants around. I'm not very sure I will try this place again. The owner did come out and apologized. She mentioned that it was just the shipment and they can't change that. I believe they can.. But I'm not the owner of the restaurant. read more

I enjoyed the seafood much more than I thought. My only complaint is the choice of music playing with kids in the restaurant. Other than that everything else was excellent. Our server was fantastic and came to check in the table often. My friend kids enjoyed it very much and I enjoyed my flounder plate. So much food but very tasty. See you next time read more

This place doesn't deserve any stars, but unfortunately I have to leave one. Save your money and go elsewhere. The food is far too expensive for you not to receive what you actually paid for. Be aware, they are not honest about the weight of their seafood. Completely disappointing experience. read more

The crab itself was mid. They all come in bags, which I think might over steam/overcook the crab, but the staff was super nice! The food was just not worth the price. read more

This was my first time dining at one of these seafood boil establishments. Our party of 4 dines in on a Saturday evening to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were seated promptly. Our server came over quickly to take drink and appetizer orders. She checked on us frequently throughout our time there. I ordered the snow crab,shrimp and black mussels combo in the mild Shake Shake sauce. Our food arrived quickly. The flavor and the portion size were good. I actually finished the entire bag, which surprised me. After our meal, they surprised the birthday girl with a cupcake and serenade. Although, the cupcake seemed like it was straight from the grocery store, it was still a nice touch. I will say that the one thing that bothered me was the amount of disposables used. All the serving dishes and utensils were disposable plastic or foam, except for the glasses our drinks were served in. But overall it was a good experience. I would return again for a special occasion. read more

Well, usually I get decent stuff when I go to King Crab, however this past Friday, not sure what's going on or if their scale is broken. I ordered 1/2 lb of Shrimp, sausage, crawfish, and Dungeness crab. The shrimp and sausage was good portions. However I know there are more than 6 crawfish in a 1/2 lb, and they were very small. Also, just because it's a cluster of crab, doesn't mean it weighs 1/2lb. The crab was a small cluster and I weighed it, and it was just a little over 5 ounces. Should be at least 8 ounces.... Are you guys trying to rip me off??!! read more

Very tasty seafood. I wasn't sure about the onion rings, but they were great. Sometimes rather seasoning can be too salty, but it was perfect. I got the garlic butter seasoning for my corn. Friendly staff. Very attentive during lunch time. Clean establishment, except the blinds which you could see had been splattered with the seasoning of the seafood read more

Seafood boil was so good I came heck the very next week for more! If you like fresh garlic as opposed to that jar stuff, go here! Staff was also very friendly.. both times and I had different servers each time. read more

This was great! I'll be back! It hasn't been since Scouting that I've eaten out of a plastic bag, but here we go. Impressive servings, well prepared, and just what you'd expect for a low country boil place. Hush puppies were a hit, as they matched well with the cinnamon butter. It's going to be hard for you to not like what you get here... but remember, this ain't no fancy place. While I eschewed the plastic gloves (found it too hard to peel the shrimp), the bib and plastic-lined shells buckets were key. Get some non-alcoholic beer please (and not something gross like O'Douls or what Bud and Coors sell). read more

Love this place. Some friends took me to eat a few years ago. I try to visit every few months. This was a good time. Nicely seasoned, hot out of the pot, and great service. So pleasant.

This is the SECOND time we've gone to this place and each time we came here, the order was FUCKED UP. The flavors and what we ordered wasn't right at all. Both workers the Asian man & the Asian lady that worked the front looked at me like I was wrong for letting them know my order wasn't right. These prices for these seafood bags cost way too fucking much to be messing up the fucking order cause they can't read what's on the list. When we were about to leave, they told us once we walk out the door that it is not their problem anymore, but we told them when we came to pick it up that the order is not correct they said they will not be able to change the order. read more

Took myself on a solo date and was craving seafood boil. Heard this was the place to go, so decided to try it out. And boy were the people right. I smashed my entire pan of food. First I didn't know it would come out in an aluminum pan . I thought it would be in a bag like typical boils, but it was a twist. Ordered the juicy sauce medium heat. There was a wait to be seated but wasn't to long. There were several big parties the night I went. There was a little altercation also with a customer wanting to dine with their dog which was not a service dog. But they were able to handle the situation without disturbing the rest of the customers. I would go back but probably not on possible busy days so I'm not waiting long. They music was a decent volume and they TVs were on good channels. Would suggest if going with large groups call early for reservations. read more

service was horrible. it was more than six of us And they only had two scissors available. So we all had to share it, waite and take turns So awkward . they only had two for 9 of us. server called my friend to tell her that our kids splashed water in the bathroom. than another server comes and tells out kids that how much fun they had spilling water everywhere. she said she saw it. i asked for the proof. and the other serves stated that she went and checked it was all clean, no water in the bathroom floors. first of all she could of just cleaned it if they would of done something like that not to come to us and bother us with it while we were eating. They slandered our children On something they did not fo and ruined our dinner. This is out last time visiting that place. read more

The house shake shake sauce is insanely good. Your hands will smell like garlic for a week even with gloves. Hahahaha. The food is cooked well and fresh.

This restaurant is always packed! I ended up here on a whim with a friend. We both had a big appetite for seafood. We were seated after about a five minute wait. Our waiter/bartender was John. John has so much personality and was super knowledgeable about the menu & drinks. He even rolled our bags down for us to dig in! I've never had any server do this before!!! The food was delicious both of us had no leftovers. I will come back again because John's customer service was so great and I wasn't expecting it! read more

My entire family has been on the toilet since we left. Won't be returning. 1 star for service. Our drinks stayed refilled & our server was very kind/attentive. 1 star for taste. Although the food has us all in shambles now it didn't start that way. We got crab, fried chicken, corn, potatoes, sausage, & shrimp. Not sure if it's the sauce or food that has us in shambles. We typically only eat seafood at the beach & not served in a bag with juice. If this isn't a regular thing for others maybe we just aren't meant to eat this type of food in the way it is prepared..... read more

King Crab is a crab boil party spot!!!! From the minute you walk into the restaurant until you leave you are in for a treat!!!! We went on a Friday night and this place was lit! There was birthday after birthday and celebration after celebration going on. The music and the atmosphere is very fun!! We had to wait about 25/30 minutes for a table. Once seated our server was very attentive and helpful. We ordered 3 Snow Crab and Shrimp combos and 1 Clams and sausage combo. We got 3 of the bags Juicy Special and one Cajun. We also got 2 seasoned eggs. All the food came out hot and well seasoned. It was all very delicious. We were able to take a portion home and the items reheated well. I'm glad to know that Shake Shake is their sister restaurant. I hope to visit there soon and cut some of the travel time down. Hope we have a similar experience cause if not we will definitely be traveling back to King Crab! King Crab 7401 E Independence Blvd Charlotte, NC 28227 Friday December 13, 2019 8:30pm read more

Looks kind of sketchy but I promise the food is delicious! Messy, but SO GOOD! They don't give you a bib fuh nuthin' !!! First, Elizabeth was our server and she is such a sweet spirit. She knows how to exceed expectations! Such a pleasant person. The food is amazing! I had the shrimp and crab leg boil with the garlic butter and old bay seasoning. It was incredible! You should visit in old clothes and ready to dig in! This is not a place the ladies wanna be cute. You gotta be ready to get dirty. It's not a cute situation. For fresh authentic "meaty" crab legs and big fresh shrimp, THIS is my place! Oh, and the martini was on point! read more

alright. this is my favorite place in the world. it's a little gross inside. everything's sticky, so don't wear your nice clothes! every server we have has been so amazing and so nice and so fun to hang out with! if you can handle some weird smells and feeling just generally disgusting after leaving, this place is WORTH IT!!! i always get 1lb of crab claws and 1/2 lb of shrimp. i get it in the shake shake medium sauce and it comes in a giant sea food boil bag swimming in this amazing sauce. it's so juicy and flavorful. i eat at a lot of nice places but i would pick this any day for seafood. it's an EXPERIENCE!!!! don't get anything else besides the shake shake seafood boil in the shake shake sauce. we've also done takeout and it's been super easy and not as messy! i go here any chance i get- my birthday, farewell dinners for when i go back to college, anniversaries, etc etc etc. read more

I've been driving by this place daily, for months. Earlier this week I realized they were open and stopped by yesterday 2/16. The parking lot was packed, we were quoted a 30 minute wait. It ended up being 15 minutes, that was a plus. Ambience: The building shares a lot with Super G Mart, it used to be Ruby Tuesday. It was a standard setup. Booths, tables, fisherman themed. They put down fresh white paper for each table (you'll probably make a mess). The restaurant was clean, though the seafood aroma is VERY STRONG. The food: Decent, a solid 3. I ordered the crab legs, shrimp, lobster combo. $30. It was done crab boil style, with my choice of seasoning and spice level. I chose the juicy seasoning and medium spice. The food arrived in a huge plastic bag, which was shaken and poured out in front of me. At first glance, I was underwhelmed. 1 skimpy crab cluster, 12 or so shrimp and a tiny (overcooked) lobster tail. The seasoning was good, but salty. The shrimp were good. Lobster was rubbery and crab was lacking in size. The service: Meh. Our server wasn't attentive. I had to wave him down for everything. Crackers for the crab, refills on drinks, and had to wait 15 minutes for the check. I can't say I'll go back, I'll stick with Mr 3s crab pot! read more

Finally had a chance to try out King Crab . The restaurant was clean and we were promptly greeted. I went during lunch time and ordered the shrimp boil for $11. I do not eat sausage so I asked for it without that. I do recommend ordering more corn or potatoes because you only get one of each . I tried the medium juicy special sauce . Also order the boil eggs . I really enjoyed it . They do offer daily specials that is written down on the table for you . Overall I enjoyed my experience and I'll go back . I want to try something fried next time . Went back a second time and I have to say I love the employees . They are fun and welcoming. I love how everyone gets involved to sing happy birthday . I tried the shrimp basket and it was enough for two meals. Will be back read more

Large portions of food. Decent prices. Good margaritas. Those are the highlights, now the specifics. I ordered shrimp, potatoes and corn for $23, came with napkins, bibs and gloves. There was so much food and you can customize the level of spiciness. I love spicy so mouth was watering before the food even came. The rest of my family ordered chicken baskets or codfish baskets and everyone seemed pleased and satisfied. Hand sanitizer at the door. They were accommodating when we wanted to change the initial seating they gave us. No reservation required. Adequate parking. On a busy street. Worth the money. read more

Fresh crab legs. Great spice. Friendly and helpful staff. Only thing I'd add would be a crab picker so I could get all my crab out of the shell. Definitely worth the visit and I'll go back read more

This spot is popular with folks (like me) who love crab legs. The cooks at King Crab specialize in steaming crab, shrimp, mussels, potatoes, and corn in big plastic bags. These dishes are seasoned with a juicy blend of butter, seasonings, and garlic and are practically impossible to eat without making an enormous mess of yourself. Fortunately, the taste is worth the trouble. There's a full bar to accompany your gluttony, and plenty of wet wipes to help clean up the mess. Fried seafood dishes too. It's not a cheap place to eat . . . but oh, those crab legs. Nomnomnom! read more
