Special B juicy sauce medium
Tammy L.

We went to King Crab for the seafood boil. I ordered a la carte: 1/2 lb head off shrimp, 1/2 lb crawfish, and a 1/2 lb of sausage. It comes with 2 potatoes and a 1/2 corn on the cob. I chose the juicy sauce at medium heat. My friend ordered the special B, which is a 1/2 lb each of shrimp, crab and crawfish with 2 potatoes and 1/2 corn on the cob. The service is great. They provide bibs and gloves which are absolutely necessary. It was a bit warm in the restaurant and I won't order the sausage again, it is not as fabulous as the shrimp, crawfish, crab and sides. The juicy sauce is sooo good. It has chunks of garlic in it. I love coating the food in the sauce for the incredible flavor. The bar has beer and wine. They provide a frosted glass and a lime with the modelo. This is a great restaurant. It feels like I went to the Bayou for a Cajun seafood boil. I will definitely be back.

Picked up a shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries to go because I had to have something from the South to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Service was very friendly and I appreciated they confirmed the right person was picking up the order. Restaurant wasn't too busy but then again it was almost 9 pm. Liked the casual vibe and saw lots of seating available for large groups. Sandwich was really good filled with an abundance of crispy shrimp, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. The bread was warm and toasty but not the French bread that I was used to when growing up on the MS Gulf Coast. Overall enjoyed the Sandwich and had to save half for the next day because the excellent fries filled me up. Generous serving of perfectly fried, not greasy sweet potatoes. I would definitely come back if in the Point Loma neighborhood to try some of their other menu items.

Went in for birthday dinner on a whim and we were happily surprised. Service was great and the food was superb! Started with oysters and bang bang shrimp.. oh the sauce on the shrimp!! Yummmm!! Ordered a modified boil that included king crab legs for an up charge. Well worth the extra cost! Might be the best crab the birthday boy has ever had. We got the mild boil and the most popular sauce because I am a whimp with spice. Delicious!! So glad we stopped in!! Coming from out of state, this was a happy surprise!

THE BEST. Y'all must come here! It is amazing and delicious! I do want to say the service is always outstanding and the food is so delicious! It's better priced than most restaurants doing crab boil and you do get a little more! Love coming here

Crab Legs

The Setting: It's Friday night, and after some mild discussion, we decided to walk over to King Crab. We were seated immediately. No silverware, no problem.... Gloves and bibs on & the noshing commenced. Two large waters at the ready. Mini garbage can waiting for us to fill it with our discards. The Feast: Sausage & Snow Crab Legs - Juicy special Sauce - Medium Clams & Shrimp - juicy special Sauce - Medium We received two potatoes and two little pieces of (ears of) corn. (The potatoes & corn were delish!) The verdict: Everything was very good. The juicy special sauce is garlicky, oily, salty, and delicious. The service is attentive. The place is spacious & clean. It was messy eating, but it was kind of fun & very enjoyable. The menu features a number of seafood & land items you can order in your seafood boil, as well as fried items, appetizers, alcoholic & nonalcoholic (including Boba) drinks! There's plenty of parking in the ample lot. I recommend King Crab!

King Crab Extreme Combo Special

I came here last week with my family. We like coming here on special occasions because we love the service, quality of food and prices. This occasion was my dad's birthday, we were a party of 6 and this place is great since it's so spacious for bigger parties. For parties of 6 or more gratuity is included which is very normal and to be expected. I'm not sure if that's why our server decided to neglect us since her tip was already included, but we were disappointed in her. Food came out quick, food was great and flavorful, the cooks in the back did a great job. However our server, Maria, basically abandoned us once our food came out. Never checked on us, didn't fill out waters. We kept having to ask the other server for things, which they did tell her to check on us but, that shouldn't be their problem when we were her table. And probably her only table since it wasn't busy in there at all when we came. My husband and I used to be servers so we know how it is, and we would HAPPILY tip on top of gratuity if the service was amazing. She also never cleared our table or little trash cans when they got full. Not sure if she was distracted by the Mexico World Cup game, doesn't matter, we'll be sure to request a different server next time.

The service was ok. The atmosphere was very casual but the food was overpriced and underwhelming. There's not a whole lot to say other than I've been there once and that's enough as there are better places to spend your cash and calorie intake.

King Crab Jumbo Combo Special ($130)
KC C.

Decided to randomly stop by this spot and I am glad I did. It is a cute little place in a strip mall in Point Loma and conveniently located right off the I 8 exit. I ordered the King Crab Jumbo Combo for $130. It came with 1 lb snow crab legs, 1 lb crawfish, 2 lb shrimp (head off), 1 lb green mussels, 3 eggs, 6 corn, 6 potatoes, and half a pound of sausage. The menu says it feeds two to three people, but honestly it was more than enough for four to five. The portion was very generous. The flavoring was great. One thing to note though is that their "spicy" is more like a medium level spice. So even if you order spicy, expect something closer to mild to medium heat. Service was fine. Nothing spectacular but exactly what you would expect from a seafood boil place. You do most of the work cracking everything open while the staff keeps drinks and refills coming. Overall I would definitely come back if I am in the area again. I would also love to try their po boy next time.

King Crab Cajun Seafood downtown San Diego, CA Food: We ordered the lobster and shrimp boil which was really good... well delicious even! It was served hot and the seasoning was awesome. The Spicy Thai Wings were delicious, seasoned perfectly with the right amount of sauce. The Garlic bread was pretty good also, only wished it was grilled also. Service: Awesome service, friendly, and accommodating. The place was packed (mother's day) however service didn't suffer. This establishment ran like a well oiled machine! Ambiance: The restaurant was clean and well organized, I couldn't get enough of the shark on the wall... pretty cool.

My leftovers that I was gonna buy some seasoning from crab hut for but ended up just leaving it bc no just noo.
Chantelle K.

Quite literally one of the worst crab boil AND service experience I've ever had. Sean, my server, made my dining experience twice as long as it needed to be. First, he comes over within a minute of me sitting down and I say I need a few minutes to decide which he responds by not coming back for 10+ minutes! Then he takes my order and I get my food but then I have to wait for him to bring the utensils?! Then, I get the utensils and I'm eating and I'm real realizing this food sucks!! There's no seasoning, it's literally just a bag of seafood and oil smh. I tried to get his attention so I can get some salt and pepper and it took him over 15 minutes to come over to me?!!!!!!!! Whole time I'm waiting this dude is cleaning dirty tables that are empty!!!!!!!! Mind you, after it took him super long to come back the second time, I asked for a new server and instead of obliging management said he was new and that I should just stop anyone that's walking by and ask for what I need and then proceeded to just sent me over a drink from the bar that I didn't order?? Like thank you but fulfilling my request would've been apology enough!! The icing on the cake was when I did stop someone to get my to go boxes and instead of getting it for me, she went and told him and he came back over and asked me if that's what she said?!! Like whatttt???????????? The overall incompetence was quite infuriating and I would 100% recommend Crab Hut on Convoy over them!! I'm so mad I just wanted to try somewhere new smh Yoooo go read their other bad reviews!! "Management" only responds to threaten and belittle the complainants like they've never heard the word accountability before?! Bro yall suck as a business and should convert into a karaoke spot or something

Fantastic meal
John C.

Been here 2x and loved it both times. Service can sometimes be a little slow, but it's well worth it. I love the variety of sauces and the prices of the crab don't break the bank. Neither did the lobster tails. Looks like I have missed some photos that I forgot to upload. For sure will be back!

Seafood Boil
Lancy N.

The restaurant is HUGE. There is so many tables inside and the parking outside is ample. I got the gumbo and it was so perfectly seasoned with a good amount of spice. My party also ordered the peach smoothie and the brown sugar milk tea and both were solid. The sesame balls were also soft and sweet/savory. For the seafood boil itself, we got 1/2 a pound of both black and green mussels. A pound of snow crab, 2lbs of shrimps, a pound of sausage, and we had some corn/potatoes. We had it mixed with the juicy medium spice sauce which wasn't too bad. I could have gone for the spicier option but the seasoning was good! The service was top tier though. The boss of the restaurant was very welcoming upon entering. And from there the server that took care of us was so attentive and funny! I believe his name was Johnathan. He was attentive bringing us lemons and plates without us needing to ask and he made sure we were having a good time and we had everything we needed during our meal.

Delicious seafood boil and great service! Our party of 4 went on Monday night and were seated right away. Tony, the owner, made us feel welcome immediately and we even chatted for a bit. All the staff were very friendly and also prompt when we needed anything. There are a lot of different selections on the menu, we ordered 2 specials and 1 dozen oysters. When I tell you the oysters were super fresh and big, you have to order them if you love oysters. The seafood was very fresh, the shrimp was nice and plump as well. We ordered the medium spice level but it was quite spicy! In addition to the seafood, we also tried the chicken wings - they were juicy and crispy. Definitely recommend. There's also a full bar at the front of the restaurant in case you're looking for some refreshments. They're very generous with the margarita! They also serve boba and tea if that's more up your alley, which is as tasty as a the ones you get at the boba shop. Overall, highly recommend King Crab if you're in the area for some fresh seafood!

She was disappointed that the soft shell crab sandwich was not on the menu. I reminded him that is a seasonal item. He settled for the Buffalo Calamari sandwich. There was too much Buffalo and Blue Cheese for his liking. The roll was perfectly toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. The calamari was cooked well, with a light crispy crust. It could have used a small side salad. I ordered the Ahi Poke with rice. You have the option to add avocado for and additional charge. It was very fresh and well marinated. I should have ordered it with wonton chips. Both meals were generous portions, I took my left overs home he didn't. Service could have been better. My meal was dropped off first. So we had to wait a bit longer for his to eat together. There was water sitting under the utensil holder so the server wiped that up with a napkin. We sat on the back patio to get some air. No one checked on us after food was dropped off. We had to go inside to get a ToGo container. While I appreciate that it's a seafood market + restaurant, I think service and quality used to be better overall.

Mitch sells a half lobster plate with two tortillas and all the fixings including Crema and pico de gallo and cabbage and they also throw in a full Mexican street corn for $24 or you can get the full lobster plate for $46. I always manage to eat the whole thing because it's not super filling, but it makes my stomach so happy to have my annual lobster fix. My girlfriend ordered the fish sandwich for $17 which includes coleslaw and a large sandwich on a Bell. You can choose your choice of fish and she chose grouper. The sauce and the seasoning on the fish is delicious so this is another good option. The big warning is the parking situation here my friend circled all the neighborhoods and the paid parking at the Sports fishing parking lot and she couldn't find a single place to park so I got our food to go and we drove to my house a half a mile away and enjoyed our lunch there instead of sitting at Mitch's and enjoying the view. I ordered our meal at 11:45 because at noon the line was going out the door as usual. So be aware of the long lines and the parking and plan accordingly. Other than that, the food is great. The service is great. The view is great so you can decide if the hurdles are worth jumping over. Don't say you weren't forewarned!!

For dinner we had the sushi tower, panko fish taco and the cod fish and chips. The lemon pepper fried shrimp never made it out. The sushi tower had wonton chips and a red, green sauce on the side with pickled ginger and wasabi. My order of fish and chips was slightly disappointing. This was a cheat meal for us so the fries were cold and hard. Note to kitchen: don't serve cold, hard French fries. The cod came in 3 pieces and had a nice tartar sauce. The fish taco was huge but it was dry and needed either more sauce or lemon.

Wicked Maine Lobster- Little Italy…read more Delicious Lobster Rolls, but Small Portions for the Price! Wicked Maine Lobster in Little Italy was absolutely delicious! Everything we tried was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the lobster roll with butter was definitely my favorite. The lobster was so tasty, and I really enjoyed the food overall. The staff were also nice. My biggest complaint, though, is the portion size for the price. The lobster rolls were much smaller than I expected, as I thought they would be longer. I completely understand that lobster is expensive, but considering how much we paid, I was disappointed with how small the rolls were. We actually finished our meal still feeling hungry, which is never ideal when you've spent that much on food. The restaurant is located inside a building with several different restaurants. You order directly at their stand, and there is shared seating both inside and outside the food hall, which is nice if you're visiting with a group that wants different food options. Overall, I really enjoyed Wicked Maine Lobster, and the food was delicious enough that I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. I just wish the portions were a little more generous for the price. Four stars for the amazing flavor, with room for improvement on portion size and value!

Then we had the Tartufona and I think that's my absolute favorite pasta! We also had Arrabbiatissima and it was a little spicy but it was good. I definitely prefer the Tartufona better though. We also tried the octopus and everything they had on the plate just works SO WELL together. We almost licked the plate clean!! I normally don't like a lot of seafood but I loved this appetizer. For dessert we had tiramisu and they brought up the ladyfingers separately and poured espresso and other stuff on it in front of us so the ladyfingers dun get too soggy. I'm usually not a sweets person but I loved this too. First time trying tor Italian soda. They said blood orange one is the best but it was so out so we tried lime. I liked it. Also ordered a lemonade. It's very mild but it was very good, not too sour. Wish they brought this restaurant to Chicago! 100% recommend!!!

Outstanding. I loved my experience here…read more I appreciated the service, I had a reservation and was seated quickly. If you don't have a reservation you may wait a while as it was packed even on a Monday night. They were attentive to my requests and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. The cocktail I tried was perfectly balanced and I loved the addition of the thyme, it actually added to the experience of the cocktail rather than functioning as just a garnish. I love a Spanish octopus dish so I couldn't pass this one up, AND I don't recommend you do either! It was exceptional. I think romesco and pulpo are a match made in heaven. Please try it. Couldn't pick between the pastas so I ended up with both the bolognese and funghi options, the bolognese being my favorite. The pasta was cooked beautifully. I did love the rich umami of the mushrooms, but if anything it may have been a bit too much on the rich side. The portions are truly massive so any of their pasta dishes can function as several meals. Not featured in the pictures is their tiramisu which was a reason to go all by itself. The restaurant was a bit warm during the heat wave but still pleasant. the vibes were comfortable, colorful, and welcoming Overall a really great experience and I'll certainly be back next time I'm in town
