The food is AMAZING! I don't understand how this place wasn't packed. I think it is in a poor location. Why is it next to Cabos? This place would bank at the Fountians. Back to the restaurant;the Gumbo is A MUST TRY! ITS so delicious. The cod basket, excellent. The batter wasn't heavy, you can taste the fish. The fries have a tastey seasoning. Oysters are also good. 1st time ever eating them Rockerfeller. Now the main meal- we picked the 3 bucket which you chose 3 seafood items @ 1/2 pound each. We chose king crab, shrimp, mussels, sausage, corn and potatoes. I would get snow crab instead and no shrimp-wasn't a fan. Cheesecake was excellent. It was 4 adults celebrating a birthday. Prices are a bit high, that's why I give them a 4. read more

I'm always on a lookout for businesses ran by retired military. I've heard bad reviews about this place but decided to give it a try. I preordered online to have it ready by 3. I got there at 3 and was told it be about another 10 minutes and they would take it out to my car. 3:00 turned into 3:20, so I went back inside to ask if my order was ready that I've been waiting for a pre order for 20 minutes. The young lady at the counter just said it will be out right now. I asked "what's right now" should I wait in here or in my car. She said right now is right now, rolled her eyes and went to the back, (obviously you can hear everything), "gawd when I say right now it's right now, how hard is it to understand right now" she replied in the back, then a man peeked out and said who's is it? She said that guy right there! Then the guy started coughing. Yes COUGHING! I'm sorry but whether they coughed in my food or just to get a rise, this is not the time for those antics! I spent $80 and in the pictures you'll see what I received. On a separate note, I ordered 2 coleslaws, I received 2 small pill containers with coleslaw as you can see in the picture. Oh and don't ask for extra butter sauce, the picture of the bag, yup that's the extra butter just poured over the containers of food! I wanted to try it, I did it and was greatly disappointed! I'm sure you'd get a better seafood boil by sticking a net into the rio grande! Never Again! read more

If I could give this place 1 star I would. My husband and I sat down to order our drinks and were informed after the fact that the drink machine was down and they only had tea and water. However, we let that slide then as we ordered our food the waitress came back and informed us that they had ran out of catfish... at this point we were done. As we get ready to leave the owner comes and let's us know that the truck just arrived with the catfish... the look on my face was like ooooook what does that mean? I get she was trying to repair the damage but we are supposed to sit and wait for them to unload the truck and then cook the fish? I'm really disappointed in the restaurant. On the bright side our waitress was great and very apologetic. read more

So I had never eaten seafood like this and at first I was scared BUT it was soooo cool so different and really good! Really a cool different place to go and the service was also great! Totally going to come back and tell more people about it. You eat off the table and they give you gloves and a bib so you don't get so dirty but yes go try it (: read more

I truly from the bottom of my soul hate giving seafood bad reviews. Because if I could turn into a crawfish and shrimp and eat myself I surely would. So it is with a heavy heart I leave a review like this. I lived in Georgia at one point, where the boils were top tier in my opinion. So I was excited when we moved here and I saw a place that had boils. Man when I tell you I ran to the table ready to just guzzle this food down. But I was so disappointed, the shrimp was overcooked, and the crawfish had no flavor. I asked for the Cajun seasoning, and right away I could tell they don't cook the food in the seasoning, but rather just pour the seasoning on top. Trust me there is a huge difference when doing this. I definitely would try elsewhere if you want a good boil, now where is elsewhere you might ask, I'll let you know in a review when I find it. read more

This place is amazing. It's a little pricey but after a long week this is what I needed to get me back into the groove. I had the crawfish, blue crab, and snow crab. I'm not sure if I'd get the blue crab again because I spent most of my time trying to pick through the shell but favor was very good. Did the Cajun rub and hot sauce. It was perfect! read more

We arrived to El paso Saturday. Looked forward to eating sea food. So we tried this spot and experienced poor service and a lack of cleanliness to our glasses and such. Our waiter replies in a careless manner and carries on with his other duties that he Performed like crap.... No more stopping over here!! Stick to the places we know, Landry, red lobster, and a few others. read more

The portions are great! Our potatoes weren't cooked all the way through though, and we paid extra for sausage and there were 2 tiny pieces in the order. It was our first time ordering, so maybe we should have paid extra for additional seasoning- but there definitely wasn't enough on the boil. We ordered garlic and at the very end we found some minced garlic at the bottom of the bag. read more

Tried this place despite some of the worst reviews I've read here on Yelp. Service by a female named sky was excellent. Very limited bar. Beer and Liqueur less than 20%. Ordered mussels and clams boil with hot trifecta seasonings and a side of corn bread. Everything tasted great, except the mussels were overcooked; some were a bit rubbery. Also, it felt as tho I chewed on a few grains of sand, at times. I can appreciate the freshness but it wasn't pleasant. All in all, I'd go back for seconds, per se. I'd also recommend to others read more

Best place in town for Cajun style food. Great quality , great atmosphere but be ready to pay for the quality because it's a bit pricey.

Very disapppointed. From out of town, craving seafood. Waited several minutes to place order. only one of two employees, Raul, was friendly. Shrimp overcooke/boiled and calamari burned to crisp. Never returning. do not recommend. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would the quality of the food is trash if you're from SoCal and looking for something similar like boiling crab restaurant this is not the place to go .. waste of my money and a disappointment. read more

Love this place! Always a one of my to go places for first dates or hang outs after the gym with friends. Food is great, beer is relaxing, and when they say it's spicy they mean it! Angry ghost is my go to, but Hot satisfies in taste. I've tried Scorching Scorpion once and that was amazing!! But towards the end I was not able to finish from the intense spice, I did love it though!! read more

King Crab - This is the Power Boil! (Shrimp, Mussels, Crawfish, and clams) with Cajun seasoning and Hot spice. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Came here based on a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed! The food was overall very good, service attentive and friendly, and cool decor. I enjoyed a pound of snow crab with the trifecta and hot. Flavor was excellent, I just wish it was a tad bit hotter with more sauce in the bag. My wife had a pound of the king crab with trifecta and zero heat, she really enjoyed it! We shared a corn bread and that was also delicious! My biggest gripe is the price-point. Even with a generous 10% military discount we still paid around $90 with the tip for just 2 of us. We plan to come back, just can't make it a regular spot since we don't wanna break the bank. read more

I've reviewed this place before. I got a crab boil with trifecta sauce. It was amazing. However, after my second time eating here, I'm very disappointed. I ordered fried catfish... I was craving that for a few days. As always, the staff was great... but the fish was terrible. It was beyond terrible. It was disgusting. It was burnt on the outside. Crunchy and dark brown. However, the inside was even worse. It was gray - not white, as cooked fish should be. It was gray and very badly undercooked. It has to be hands down the worst fish I've had. You're better off buying fish sticks from the freezer section at the grocery store. Bad odor, undercooked, with burnt breading, and to top it off? No flavor! Yes, I actually attempted to eat this thing. I'm even more disappointed because with all the lobster and crab in the fresh tanks. You'd expect that they would have fresh ingredients. Seriously, how can you go wrong with fried fish? Either I was extremely lucky on my first visit (crab dinner) or extremely unlucky on my second visit (fried fish). PS: my husband says I'm being too harsh with his review, but in all honesty, the fish really was that bad. Also, I uploaded a picture. read more

King Crab - Fried catfish. Disgusting. Undercooked. Never again. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Found out of this place because its connected to a pho place near Indigo hotel. Ordered 2 pounds of King crab legs, 1 pound of shrimp, & 1 pound of snow crab legs. We choose the Trifecta sauce which is garlic, lemon pepper & hot. That with corn, potatoes, and sausage was perfect. Super good, one of our new fave spots. Customer service was great, they helped us decide what sauce and how much of each pound to get for a birthday dinner. Servers were very attentive and helpful, since we are not used to that type of food. Definitely going back. read more

This place was good and almost authentic as a New Orleans crab shack style restaurant! Po Boy was great & and the alligator even better! The only reason why I gave it 4 stars because there was a mix up with paying our tab and they over charge me. read more

I want to give this place 5 stars but I can't because their consistency is terrible. From the food to the service. Our first and second times here were incredible, where we had a great server and the seafood was delicious. If you've ever been to a crab boil, you know what you're getting into. When I had family in town we decided to take them for a visit since we loved it so much, and left so sooo disappointed. We called and made a reservation on a Wednesday night and when we arrived, were promptly seated because it wasn't that crowded. Upon sitting down we were informed the market menu of seafood would be very limited because they were busy the previous weekend. They only had mussels, king crab, and shrimp. Fine we thought, we usually stick to shrimp and mussels anyway. (Now I'm not a business owner, but if it's the middle of the week and you run a "fresh seafood" business where you are charging market price, not having a delivery by the middle of the week isn't good business, as is telling clients most of your menu is MIA) The service was absolutely terrible and it took us having to go to the bar to get refills on drinks, and again it wasn't that busy. 15 minutes after placing our order, we were told they were out of shrimp. To make it worse, they priced their king crab legs about $15 more per pound than it typically is, likely knowing that their patrons were limited on choices so if they stick around they should be gouged. This left us discouraged and we have not been back to this location since. I will note that they opened a new downtown location which is in a very cool location/building, and the service there has been incredible and the food remains delicious. Once a spot on Yelp exists for that location I will gladly give a review. Hopefully king crab works out the kinks because this is a concept that El Paso sorely needed. read more

Food is amazing. By far best boil place in EP. Always come back for more. Waitress was awesome.

Overpriced. ONE crab leg, shrimp and mussels was $60. That's how much I pay for enough food for 2 pretty much everywhere else. Sauce lacked flavor. 2nd time I come here, won't be coming back read more

Roll up your sleeves! This is my second time to King Crab each time I fly in from China. New Orleans is really in El Paso, great place! I recommend it, awesome King crab legs in Creole sauce and ghost hot sauce. Craw dads just like in the Bayou. Festive, full bar and really comfortable atmosphere! Ordered the King crab and Blue crab and Gumbo with corn bread the second time. Not a hurry place, just kick back and enjoy the beer as each dish is cooked fresh! read more

We were "first timers". Great atmosphere, clean, great service. It took a little while for our food, but not a terribly bad wait. The food was delicious and hot. The prices were reasonably priced as compared to the market. The owner walked from table to table making sure everyone was enjoying their meals. Highly recommend! read more

Now what the fuck is this the manager is the definition of a bitch who don't like her job. RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL FOR NO DAMN REASON . Over talks customers ! They gave us the wrong order and the shrimp that were soggy ! ( over cooked) the crabs and crawfish were decent but, they expect you to pay over the phone DONT take your order and don't ask your name and act as if you never placed a order . After you have already paid on the phone . Crawdaddies it is !!! And then the manager wants you to drive 40 min back to the restaurant for them to analyze there soggy ass food and "possibly" replace it . HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE 70$ spent here won't happen again :) read more

We have been here twice now and have enjoyed the experience both times. We took some friends last night and they also had a great time.

Will be telling everyone we know who enjoys seafood that this is a great place for a Louisiana boil! read more

This place is wayyyyy too pricey for the quality of their food and the portion. The amount of food you get for the price is ridiculous. It is honestly worth getting a Costco membership and making a home maid seafood boil for the amount you will be spending here. Anyways, The boil is OK if you don't know what quality is. BUT if you know what quality sea food is, DO NOT GO HERE. You will be disappointed. read more

I love sea food. Like it is one of my favorite things to eat and I can eat it all day everyday. However after eating at this place on Thursday with the all you can eat blue crabs, it has made me come to dislike sea food expecially from here. The sauce was just red hot and the crabs we way way over cooked. It was my second and last time eating here. read more

Disappointing in all areas. The booths are poorly designed with too much space between the seating part and the table. Next, our waitress who didn't introduce herself, had a very snobby attitude. Our waitress plus the other staff seemed to be more interested in chit chatting with each other rather than providing good customer service. Next, we noticed that the "market prices" were actually double market prices. If you go here expect to pay $40+ for a pound of crab. We've never paid so much for seafood. Because of the prices we opted for fried catfish ($10) and gumbo ($7). The 2 stars are for the flavor of the gumbo which was surprisingly tasty. The fried fish was another disappointment as the fish was not crispy or flavorful. I asked for a sausage link, the waitress explained it would be $2 and a link cut up into pieces. Instead, this sausage looked like slices of bologna. All in all, I'm disappointed in the quality of this restaurant. We will not return to King Krab or recommend anyone to come here. We would have had a better experience at Popeyes across the parking lot. read more

King Crab - "Side sausage" lol - Cajun/Creole Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Sucks A$$, sauce taste like nothing that should go on seafood. How does a seafood spot not F/W (Old Bay) price doesn't match the food quality. If I wasn't with a hangover I would ask for my money back (refund). They need chef Ramsey's to come and make over the menu for better taste and remodeling. I want my money back. I had to give a star to write the review. read more

Well there's a lot of room for improvement here and I appreciate this kitchen being in EP but lemme tell you LA customers will find you and that's probably what you'll get a lot. New birds in town. First off the customer service is excellent. THANK YOU! This location is small but dang you could have soooo many new customers to grow your location QUICK! I'VE Waited 3 hours in place to eat this type of food and no biggie. IT'S POPULAR. As I'm reading the menu it seems Ok prices and great selection. Upon my order I got Calamari and Cajun fries like I always do. Too thick(fries) and my calamari was like onion rings to me. I kinda don't like tasting my salt on my fries when seasoned unless the season is very fine or the salt comes in the batter when the are battered lightly. The power boil and the combo were great offers but as far the Shrimp: it needed to be either more marinades because there's no flavor but salty. (Not in excess but that's all I could taste on the shrimp) It looks very bland/freshly boiled and not flavorful or marinated enough. Shrimp was also not evenly cooked or old because some were real dry. The thin slices of sausage could be thicker since absorbs lots of the salt from the juice and is dried in the cooking and not enjoyable enough as far as the texture and flavor. If it were thicker I'd taste more of the sausage and not the concentration of the juice. Last, the juice wasn't enough. It was real dry and the concentration of the juice was dried up in the mussels and the not enough to soak up the entire bundle so I had to eat my potatoes dry with hardly any juice. Too my taste it was like "El Paso dry" lol. Usually it's served with lots of juice that I even end up taking some home to go when I feel like it. Oh n I forgot.... I just feel the medical gloves are too tight and don't think women with nails are going to be very fond of them. I spent $115 which is not bad for seafood but either I could've spent more or could easily order a delivery at some point. Don't want to sound harsh but I would not go back unless my crave was at a very intense level for Cajun. Have a great one! read more

This place is SO GOOD! I really liked the jazz music they played, it set a nice Louisiana vibe. We got a pound of crab legs, chicken and shrimp gumbo, and chicken tenders to share. We were super impressed with all of it, especially the crab legs!!! We got the trifecta sauce with medium spice, with potatoes and corn. It was snow crab heaven cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back. read more

I had been looking forward to going to this place. My wife and I arrived early for dinner, 6 p.m. We were seated at a table, a couple of minutes later a booth came open and we asked to be seated there instead. Our request was denied by George, a waiter/asst. manager. We asked why not and were told by George that the couple that came in after us had requested the booth. That couple was seated at another table next to us while the booth we wanted remained empty before two other couples came in and one of them was seated at the booth. I brought that fact up to George and he said, oh I thought that the booth had been asked for by that couple, the one now seating at the table next to us. We ordered our dinner at 6:10, a seafood boil, shrimp and king crab legs, no blue crab available among other menu items. My wife had the catfish and we ordered the alligator pieces as an appetizer, I asked how long it would and was told the appetizer would be ready in 10 minutes and our dinner in another 20 minutes. Great right, well 30 minutes went by before our appetizer arrived, an "hour" later our dinner was served. During that time the wait staff never once came to check to see how we were doing. A couple at another table gave up the wait and left, I was close to leaving 45 minutes into our wait for food and a refill offer, should have left at that point after tasting our appetizer, I have had alligator meat in Luisiana and it was good and tender, here it was tough and overcooked, the fries were good. Painfully waited for dinner after I called for another drink. Finally dinner arrived a full hour later, after the two other couples that came in after us were finishing up their dinner! I guess lesson learned don't order an appetizer or don't believe your waiter your dinner will be ready in so many minutes. The dinner, my wife said the catfish was good, however she only ate a couple of pieces, hmmm. My seafood boil was shrimp and King crab legs, hahaha, King crab legs!! What a joke!! I have been to Alaska and have had King crab legs, these were tiny, no miniature! The shrimp was good size and cooked right. I heard the couple that sat next to us complained about the serving portions being too small, I had heard this before about this place and experienced it first hand and from another table. I had ordered the corn and potatoes with the boil, those never arrived, however they did show up on the bill as a charge, were taken off the check. Not worth the money, in my opinion. Red lobster would have been a much better option, but I wanted to try this place. Not going back. We were leaving and the owner/manager, a female oriental lady asked about our experience, well I explained to her how our dinner date, from arrival to the end went from bad to nightmarish. She didn't seem to care much and said come back, I said I would give it another shot, however after second thought, I don't want to live through or put my significant other through another awful dinner date experience like the one the staff contributed to at King Crab. read more
