Can I get these guys 6, 7 or 8 stars!? This place is the best place to get seafood (mostly shellfish) in Lakeland... and I've been searching for 3 years! This is a carry out location, so they'll make you lunch or dinner so you don't have to worry about dirtying your stove! (However, I highly suggest some news paper and lots of paper towels so you can get in there and really enjoy this treat!) The portions are generous and the seafood is FRESH at this family owned hole in the wall treasure!!! We were trying to figure out where to get some seafood for Ash Wednesday after a long day of work, so we finally ordered from Krunchy Krab, and my only regret is not coming here sooner! It's a takeout only place, but the food comes out piping hot so you can head home to enjoy fresh! Bonus points on the preparation! The shrimp were despined & had no heads! The green lip muscles were opened and served on a half shell. My mom hasn't stopped talking about the corn... she even stole my dad's!!! The snow crabs are meaty and tender, cooked to perfection. The potatoes soak up their glorious, slightly spicy sauce! It's flavorful more than "spicy," so most pallets will love! On top of all the yummy food, the service was fantastic too! You can tell that this is a locally owned business that's a part of the Lakeland community. A+ for nights you want amazing seafood without any of the work! Orders can be small for a few people or huge for a party. I'll be back... a lot! See you there soon!!!
Second time this week! Even with having this delivered through bite squad it ls amazing! Treat yourself to KrunchyKrab you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to Ofer extra eggs!! Everything is delicious!
In the mood for seafood and stumbled across this place on Yelp. Food was good and flavorful! Food is cooked to order. Also food is brought to your car when it's ready. I enjoyed everything and will definitely be back!
Earlier today I called Krunchy Krab to place a to go pick up order at lunch for the #4 Snow Crab. I arrived about 20 minutes later and my order was ready as soon as I arrived. My ride home was filled with mouthwatering spice filled aromas and I was eager to get home to enjoy my lunch. I was not disappointed. The #4 Snow Crab included 2 crab clusters, 12 shrimp, 12 mussels, 6 sausages, 4 potatoes, and 2 corn. This was enough food for two people. All the food was covered in a flavorful and lightly spicy sauce which paired perfectly with the tender crab, shrimp and mussels, the savory potatoes which soaked up all the sauce, the juicy corn, and the flavorful meaty sausage. Overall, Krunchy Krab is a great place for flavorful seafood.
Tried to pre-order takeout online to avoid a wait. I did not see tray I wanted available online, so I called to see if they still sold it. The gentleman that answered the phone said yes and hinted that they do not do call-in orders. I guess I sounded trustworthy, because he said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I assured him I was on the way, and sure enough, my tray was ready when I showed up. There were two men working inside, payment was quick, and the older gentleman was kind enough to load my tray in the back seat. The crab legs were yummy and perfectly seasoned. I could have ate five of those corns! Have a craving for seafood, but practicing social distancing? Give this place a try. It's completely takeout! This was my first visit, and thanks to Yelp, I was able to use the pictures to help recognize the building. On the drive over, I passed by Simpson Park, which I heard so much about. Never knew they had a pool!
The best crab legs ever. If it weren't for Yelp I would know this place existed and it's SO close to my house. So so good. Perfectly done. Yay!
Very good! From out of town and thought we'd try this place out. Very friendly people and really fast. They let us take a sample of their food to see how spicy we wanted. The food was delicious, WELL WORTH IT!
Can we show this family business some LOVE?!! Where do I begin??? May I give it six stars? Ten? What's a 72 mile drive for PHENOMENAL seafood?!! This walk up restaurant has been open 13 months. The older man at the window is the chef's father. The menu is on the outside wall & is easy to read-- prices are clearly marked. There are no inside or outside tables. It's TO GO only. I was greeted immediately by the father-- w/ his big smile & big personality. After ordering a shrimp meal & two sides--snow crab & clams, he told me he was "going to save (me) some money." So he finagled it so I'd have a different meal than what was listed on the menu, charging me slightly under $20 rather than close to $30. After paying, I realized I had forgotten to order a bottle of cold water; he insisted (twice) that I take it @ no charge. After my order was prepared, he walked my bagged container out to my vehicle, insisting on placing it in my cooler and onto my front seat. Before I drove off, this friendly & most kind gentleman reminded me that all the food cooked here is cooked to order-- it's all served hot & fresh. There are three levels of seasoning (mild for wussies like I), & it's the "garlic butter that makes each meal so good." It was well more than an hour before I arrived home to weigh the food & eat 4 oz of my entree. The container weighed 2.12 lbs! And the food was still warm (& delicious)! Everything cost just under $20, & there was enough food for two-- if I should want to share, which is highly doubtful:) The Snow Crab, Shrimp, Clams, Sausage, Corn (a full ear), & Potato (one large, but sectioned) were HEAVENLY! The garlic butter was a nice added touch. I will definitely return! If I lived closer, I'd stop in weekly. This business is just off Memorial & close to MLK; it is a clean area, albeit poor. There's a nice park across the street, & the single family homes are well maintained. This is an entirely different (& safer) area than it was when I last visited Lakeland two decades ago. Kudos to the city of Lakeland planners for their revitalization efforts!
Traveling from Orlando to Tampa to see some old friends... why not find a new place for lunch? After all, we do love some seafood! Krunchy Krab is located in a neighborhood across from a park. It's a small building with parking accommodations for about 2 small cars. You're otherwise able to find parking on the street. Luckily there were no other patrons there when we arrived so life was simple. Also, there is no seating to eat, this is a carry out only spot. We chose to sit in the park across the street to eat. There were some interesting characters roaming the park but no one bothered us. Come to think of it, this wasn't the best looking neighborhood but hey no one bothered us at all. Just be prepared to take the food with you.. Oh and one more thing, no wet wipes available. Thought this was pretty odd for a place serving food such as this but then again, if you're taking it home I guess you don't have to worry about it. The food! Delicious! Customer service was good also, very friendly family working here. They were quite gracious and happy to answer questions and provide any additional items we asked for. And I needed plenty of napkins and possibly a shower afterwards.. Didn't think to ask them about the shower but they were generous with the napkins. I saw a handful of other reviews that talked about how well seasoned the food is here and they aren't lying to you. My better half and I were really impressed with just how tasty everything was and well cooked at that. The only thing that could have been a little better were the mussels as a number of them were still closed after cooking. I'm sure that if we'd gone back and asked they would have taken care of that for us though.. I'd say do yourself a favor and check this place out if you get the chance. We liked it so much we went back a second time a couple of days later on the return trip to the airport.
Amazing little Crab shack I stumbled upon. I'm so happy I found this place. I've been craving crab and didn't know where to look. Great service, favorable food, very good portions and the price is just right. I got the #1, 3 blue crab, 13 shrimp corn, potatoes, and sausage for 16.99 (18.99) after taxes. They let me sample a potato in their garlic butter sauce to try it out. Best sauce I've ever had. They have 3 heat ranges; No heat, medium, and spicy. Medium was perfect for me. The owner was super nice. Asked my name and if I was new then talked me through ordering. They also had boiled eggs and peanuts which he offered. He told me I could wait in my car since it was raining and you have to wait outside and brought me food out to me. I will definitely be back. Try also deliver.

A friend told us to try Krunchy Krab if we are around I-4 and US-98 in Lakeland. It is well known for Cajon/Creole Blue Crabs and Snow Crab legs. This is strictly a take-out place inside a residential area facing a park near Martin L King Blvd. You can wait for your order sitting in your car or sit by the pink bench in front of building! Friend ordered #4 Snow Crab legs with one cluster, 12 shrimps, 12 mussels, 6 beef sausages, 4 potatoes and 2 corns. I opted for a simple menu with #16 with 12 shrimps, 12 beef sausages, 2 potatoes and 2 corns. The #4 Snow Crab legs was huge and enough for 2 persons! As we are driving back, you can smell the mouthwatering flavor from the seafood! Both dishes were soaked with light spicy sauce in garlic butter. The sweet juicy corns were delicious, and the potatoes immersed with spicy garlic butter sauce were outstanding. Of course, they have crawfish, lobster tails at very reasonable price! The staff and owner are super friendly. A+ place for Cajan/Creole seafood. We had a wonderful experience with Krunchy Krab and be warned that it may be habit forming. read more

A hidden GEM!! Do not be confused by the location! Seemingly in the middle of a neighborhood. The menu had plenty of variety and flexibility. Kind of a "have it your way" of Krab Shaks. The seasoning is a just right garlic and spice combo that fires up the taste buds. If you're passing through- Make This a Stop! read more

Ordered via Uber Eats and was absolutely blow away by the flavor and quality. The peel and eat shrimp were an added bonus and an awesome surprise! Enjoyed every bit of this delicious meal as did my 4 year old daughter. Looking forward to trying it again in person soon! Update: Try the Boiled Peanuts! They are excellent and come with a garlic butter on them which is quite unique and tasty and they are great for eating on the way home! read more

We decided to give Krunchy Krab a try tonight after looking for seafood. That was the best decision we could have made! Right off the bat we were created by Al asking if we'd been there before. I replied no it's our first time. Instantly he replies one second, I'll take care of you. Taking care of us was letting us have a sample to ensure we like the sauce we order. The sample he gave was sausage, shrimp and potato covered by his traditional sauce. It has just enough heat as I'm a baby. Normally we get mild and it's less flavorful then his sauce. After the sample he gave us 2 water bottles which was icing on the cake. We placed our order and only waiting 15 minutes before he brought the food to our car. The crab alone was the best crab we have ever had! Normally the crab meat brakes off, no lie this meat came out whole. Never struggled and perfectly cooked. The sauce he used was coming out of the inside so the meat was perfectly flavored and no garlic butter needed! This little hole-in-a-wall place is a Gem! You will regret not giving it a chance. We will be going here anytime we want a seafood bundle!! read more

My boyfriend and I live in Jersey but have a house we stay at about 20 minutes from krunchy krab. We both LOVE crab legs so decided to look up some places (not being familiar with the area). We came across this place and we are so unbelievably glad that we did. The man was so nice to us and gave us great service and the prices are unbeatable. We sat at our dinner table eating for about 30 minutes and the whole time we just kept saying how OUTSTANDING every single bite of food was. The sauce is so tasty with the perfect amount of spice. We swear there are drugs in this sauce bcus we were so high off of every bite. We are only here for 6 days and we plan to go back again B4 we leave. We also plan to come back every time we come back to Florida. If you live a little far, it is way more than worth it to make the drive. read more
