Let me start by saying: I'm absolutely going back and trying them a few more times…read more I've been waiting to try this place after seeing them prepare for their opening while visiting the Kroger next door. I remember being pregnant (and greedy) and googling them in my car after seeing the sign go up lol. Because, seafood? Say less. So my bf reminded me multiple times that I wanted to try their food and I finally gave in the other night. I wasn't in the mood for a seafood boil (idk who tf I am even saying that, we love a boil!) and was happy to see they had wings and fish as well. So I opted for the whole wing combo with fries and 3 fried shrimp, while my bf got the fried rice and fried fish. Let me say, we don't live far from Cajun's but when we got the food home, half of it was roomtepcold. Yes, I meant to push those two words together because that's exactly what happened, lol. My fries seemed like they were under a warmer for hours, the shrimp wasn't freshly fried to order, maybe they were extras from a previous order, still unclear. They both looked so good but the lack of freshness made them almost inedible. But the fish and chicken? Freshly fried! They were hot, seasoned well, tasty. All in all, a mixed experience but I'm absolutely going to go back for the boil and to try some other items!

It's in the same exact spot that it always has been, but definitely has had a much needed face-lift, that also includes a small rooftop. Parking is very limited, so I'm not sure what the options are if they are packed. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, around 3pm and the place wasn't too packed, but we got the last available parking spot. When we arrived, we were greeted and the ordering process was explained to us. You select your seat and then order that the counter or the bar. The restaurant is cute and colorful inside. There's probably 8 or so booths for seating and stools at the bar. We ordered whiting basket, hushpuppies and catfish sandwich basket. The fish and the hushpuppies are the stars of everything! Our fish was fried and seasoned perfectly, both my husband's whiting and my catfish on my sandwich. You will not leave hungry! Although it's not cheap, they give you a lot of food! The hushpuppies could've came out the grease a few minutes earlier, but they were still really good! I'm a sucker for a hushpuppies with corn and a little sweetness! My only dislikes were the fries and the cheap ketchup, other than that, everything was really good! We'll definitely be back!!

This place really sticks out. I was unsure if I was in the right location but when I saw the…read morebuilding, I knew this venue is special to this neighborhood. There is less than 20 parking spots. The place considers itself an elevated self serve so parking will never be an issue. Since this is an elevated self serve, you can place an order at the counter in the back. You can get full service at the bar but there is a mandatory 20% tip. I see no issue with this. They do ask for additional tip and round up once you pay. They don't force it but they ask. I got the catfish basket. The hushpuppies have peppers and corn like mexican cornbread. The hushpuppies are really good but not worth a trip alone. The catfish was fried to perfection and seasoned good. The fries did not have any salt or seasoning at all which is weird since they are called cajun fries on the menu. They only have bottled water and all draft drinks cost $2 per refill. I got a pineapple lemonade which tasted good and house made. The cup was pretty small for a $5 drink and no refills. I would visit this place 2-3 more times if I lived close.

I really wanted to like the food , bc as I sat there for a short lunch I over heard two unfortunate complaints about inconsistency with orders, I prayed a little that that was just misunderstandings and that my experience was not the same but to my surprise I get my $18 eggrolls that's suppose to be jerk shrimp but as you can see there's a lot of cabbage and maybe 1-2 shrimp in all six halves combined this sucks bc I didn't have time and I didn't order veggie rolls , note to staff just bc it's slow don't skimp on service, food or time not cool .. Looking forward to your business culture thriving! I'm coming back and hope to have a great experience.

I was really hoping I'd love this place! I decided to order takeout one night and decided to try…read moreout a new Indian spot. I looked up the reviews on Yelp and on the delivery app I was using and they were mixed on one end and great on the other. I figured it was worth trying out for myself. We decided to be basic af and went with tikka masala, butter chicken and naan. (Please keep your judgement to yourself! lol) The reviews I read on the delivery app pointed out that their food was "oily" and boy, they were right. When our food was delivered I opened the containers and was bummed from the visual. Both dishes were topped with a layer of oil that I drained out. We still went forward with eating because they still smelled great and well, they were paid for lol. My partner really enjoyed the butter chicken while I thought it was a bit chewy, albeit still good. I liked the tikka masala but it was still a bit oily and didn't have any spice to it despite us requesting the 3rd level of spice. The garlic naan was really good but it was one piece of naan sliced in two... for $5. They could have slipped another piece in lol! All in all, I hate that I'm in the minority for this biz at the moment. So many other Yelpers are loving them so it may have just been an 'off' order for me. I'll give them another chance in the future in hopes of having a tastier experience!

They made us wait…read morefor 45 mins and then gave us something that seemed to come from one of those ready-to-eat packets they sell at grocery stores for $2 or $3. This place has a small kitchen, there's only one guy in there, and see the half dozen people waiting to collect their food, there's no way this young local kid would have made them all. Even the Naan seems to have come from some frozen pack. On top of that, they charged $21 for just a small amount of Dal and one Naan, which seems to be atrocious pricing.

It's not the place for a quick bit, but we were okay with that and had fine service. The shrimp and grits was SO GOOD-- I highly recommend and might even say this is a must get.

I love this restaurant. I was devastated at the news of the Corner Grille in College Park closing…read morebut knew there was one in the Upper west side so I was excited to try this one. The taste, service and quality of the food are all outstanding just like the one in College Park. Our waiters name was Chris and he was amazing. We wanted to sit outside at the fire pit and he made sure the fire pit was set to a comfortable level for our liking. Additionally, he continuously checked in on us and made sure we didn't go without. Our food was made to perfection. I love the Cajun chicken sandwich and although this was my first time having it in years I still remember the flavor and this sandwich didn't disappoint at all. My husband ordered the shrimp po boy and at every bite as well. We both enjoyed our drinks as well, the peach lemon drop and whiskey mojito. A great restaurant for American cuisine with a Cajun twist. I've been a fan of this restaurant for a very long time and I'm happy I'm still able to enjoy their food.

I ordered from here about a year ago and had a pretty nice experience, so I decided to order again…read morethrough a delivery app. But this time was totally different. (I wish I still had the old pictures). It was edible, but the first time was WAY better. It was heavily HEAVILY seasoned to the point of being. My hands were stained red. The shrimp had a nice crunch. The potatoes didn't look great, but the flavor was good. The catfish was bland. One thing we really did not enjoy was the corn. The taste/texture was that of corn that was just sitting in the pot, boiling for hours until someone ordered it. Soggy. I was really excited about the side of fried crab legs and they weren't even in the bag. The attached receipt literally said to double check and still, missing. Additionally, my delivery person said that when she arrived at the restaurant, they said they "lost" the order and she had to wait another 20 minutes for it to be made. But the restaurant is ~5 mins from my apartment and the food arrived cold soooo?? Overall the food was just ok, but not something I'd rush come back for.

I've ordered from Krab Kingz three or four times. I tend to order the same thing: The fish and…read moreshrimp platter. It consists of two catfish filets (or three strips of whiting), 10 pieces of shrimp, fries, and a portion of corn on the cob. Before taxes, it costs $26.11. Even though I don't live far from this restaurant, I've always had my food delivered through Uber Eats. I wasn't expecting much the first time I ordered from them, but I was pleasantly surprised. The quality has been consistent every time. The portions were large and seasoned and cooked to perfection. I'm getting hungry just writing about it. I usually can't eat the whole meal at once because it's so much food. I have no complaints at all with any of my orders, though I did have issues with the Uber Eats delivery person the last time. But that's not Krab Kingz fault. I'm rating them a five. Oh, Krab Kingz is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. But Wednesday - Sunday, it opens at 11:30 am and stays open until either 9 or 10 pm.

The experience from the second you walk in the door is top notch. We had smoked fish dip, beets with strawberries, hamachi and deviled eggs to start. DELICIOUS! We each ordered a cocktail and tailored it to our liking and ordered Flounder, Sea Scallops, and blacked red fish with shareable sides being the fingerling potatoes and greens. I can't say I had a favorite starter or side because they are all full of flavor and cooked perfectly. They made my in-laws evening one to remember with the anniversary stamp on the menu, the coaster and even going the extra mile to celebrate (17) the year of furniture with cute chairs made from champagne top. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE that made the evening special!! We'll be back very soon.

Our daughter spent the first few minutes waving at the staff, and they genuinely lit up every time -- such a warm, welcoming vibe right from the jump. Starters We kicked things off with the she‑crab soup, and that's when we knew the meal was going to be special. Tons of rich crab flavor and chunks of crab. The crispy shrimp toast was another hit -- crunchy, savory, and a great pairing with the soup. We also ordered the Baker's Dozen oysters, chef's selection. All 13 were fresh, clean, and briny in the best way. Next up: the Spanish octopus, and honestly... top five octopus dish we've had. Cooked perfectly -- tender, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture. The salsa macha added just the right amount of heat, and the marcona almonds brought a great crunch with the cilantro, lime, and mint brightening everything up. What a beautifully composed dish. We finished with the Halibut and Lady peas. The Halibut was topped with lobster and served with a lobster butter sauce, chives, and capers. Rich, buttery, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The lady peas (fava beans, asparagus, and a generous mound of blue crab) were another standout. So much flavor, but everything complemented each other instead of competing. One of those sides you keep looking for more of when it's gone. --- Overall Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and executed at a high level. Service was warm and genuinely kind -- especially with our little one. 10/10 would recommend

There is no way they didn't know this was burnt, yet they still had the nerve to charge $24 for it. The fact that anyone would let this leave the kitchen speaks volume of how the food has gone down at this location. That's not just disappointing, it's unacceptable. On top of that, calling the restaurant is pointless because they never answer the phone. Thankfully, I'm getting a refund through Uber Eats, but that doesn't excuse the lack of quality and accountability. Do better. Customers are paying too much money to be served food like this.
