    I always order take out from here and there's never an issue! Cajun Boiled Seafood and crawfish always hits the spot.

    Flaming S'more's Martini. Awesome!

    We drove by this place during the pandemic and finally had dinner here. We enjoy a good Seafood Boil. Mia was our wonderful, knowledgeable, happy hustling server. She was ours (and others) bartender, server and cashier. She clearly knew the menu and was able to answer our questions. We really appreciate restaurant servers as the pandemic really affected them. We know restaurants are hurting and staff are expected to do so much more. Thank you to Mia for the service we got this Sunday evening.

    My share (1/3) of the calamari snd the coconut shrimp.

    Went here on a friday for lunch. I loved this place. The lunch specials were perfect with a serving of rice, a small potato and ear of corn. The corn was really good too! I loved that everything was swimming in butter and you could choose the seasonings and the spice level. For appetizers, we got the coconut shrimp, nine nicely battered shrimp with a sweet coconutty sauce and ghe calamari...probably 12 nice sized rings and two dipping sauces. The lunch special came with a choice of gumbo or side salad. The gumbo had a few pieces of okra and ham in a thickened broth...not a lot of substance but s very good flavor and a decent side for the meal. Very filling and delicious!

    Still sporting a bit of a Saturday night home quarantine PBR hang-over, I determined that some fried fish sounded like a great option. Seafood Island's combo B was a clear winner - 2 catfish, 4 shrimp, 5 oysters and onion rings ($16) and I added a side of corn-on the cob ($2) and boiled potatoes ($1.60). It was served with a bowl of Cajun garlic butter for dipping along with tarter sauce and cocktail sauce. The platter was a heaping pile of deep fried goodness with large pieces of all the seafood items and at least 15 o-rings. The bowl of spiced butter was a perfect accompaniment to help season the veggies and help clog the arteries. Certainly not the kind of feast I should have often, but it was a damn fine way to spend a half hour contemplating if Cajun butter or cocktail sauce is a better dip for my deep fried delectables.

    We came here on a Saturday at about 7pm. We were meeting a few friends here, told the host that we had friends already seated to which she replied, "I don't know who your friends are". Yikes- slightly off putting. Once we were seated, our drink and food orders were taken pretty promptly. That's about as much as I can say for the service. We waited probably an hour for food and at least 30 minutes for each drink that we ordered. Service is lacking and I don't know if they can handle being open on the weekend. I will say, the seasonings on the boils are AMAZING. We ordered the combo E3 with the house seasoning and made it spicy. SO GOOD. The snow crab was not worth it and was overcooked. Overall, I would say pass on dining in here but maybe carry out would be better.

    Been wanting to go there for a while...always very busy. Went for dinner, tried a variety of items. Had a fried basket: catfish, oysters, shrimp with waffle fries and also a Steamer Bag with Sausage and Shrimp. The fried basket was good, could have used some malt vinegar and the tarter sauce was just ok. The food items were great though. The sausage in the bag was great! Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely go back.

    The food was amazing! Hot n fresh out the kitchen! Service was on point Joe did an amazing job despite some customers giving him a hard time. He still kept it in point. The place was a hit! Would recommend to others again!

    We have seen this place passing by and always wanted to stop and check it out. We went the Friday before Valentine's Day and it wasn't crowded at all. There was a hostess stand, but no one there. I think they may have been getting a To go order. Once seated our waitress gave us the menu and took our drink orders. She was nice, overall I would give her a B. She always refilled our drinks on time and gave us time to eat our appetizers. We ordered oysters on a half shell and the fried calamari. I loved the oysters and the calamari was good. A little thick for my liking. For our meals we decided to splurge and each get a boil. We were not disappointed! There are different seasonings you can add and you can get it to the spice level you desire. It was so delicious!!!! We will be going back.

    There's not much that I could say about this place. I ordered the shrimp and crablegs boil. Everything tasted was bland.

So me, my niece, nephews, and sister came here while we were visiting family in Kansas City during the July 4th holiday. Now this is just like any other seafood bag boil spot so nothing spectacular or extraordinary about how these places work. We ordered some raw oysters which were really fresh! Then ordered our bags which I decided not to be get a big bag because I usually take it home for later. So I ordered a half a lbs shrimp, crawfish, and for the first time added ramen noodles to the bag. And man have I been missing out! I don't ever remember seeing that as an option here in the DMV. So much better than folks and those boiled eggs which I think is so nasty to eat with seafood. Our food came out all at different times and there were a few mistakes that the waiter was able to rectify the discrepancies. It was pretty empty in there so the service was fine. I did order a couple of drinks that as far as I can remember were tasty. Would we come back if back in town probably not...one and done is all I need!

    I am still genuinely befuddled at this Friday night dinner experience…read more I came in for a celebratory Hurricane since I'd heard these were great (and we loved their cocktails the last time) and a bite. The place was pretty empty which was unusual; the last time we came in I think was in December and it was slammed! It turns out they aren't serving alcohol right now (apparently an ownership change? I didn't get the full scoop) so that was the first let-down. So fine - I'll just have a bowl of the gumbo. For $29?! And some biscuits. The gumbo comes out in a cracked bowl with a cracked plate underneath and the 3 little crawfish on top are refrigerator cold. Granted, the actual gumbo was pretty solid with the right amount of heft and spice and depth, but even then the rice had some hard pieces in it like it was old. The biscuits aren't anything to write home about and the butter is just meh. I wouldn't spend my carbs there. On top of all that, the waitress literally couldn't be bothered that I existed. I had to pry to get a drink menu (which is when I found out they weren't serving any), I couldn't get any eye contact from her or any kind of friendliness, she asked me if I wanted them to "heat it up" when I told her about the crawfish, and then brought my bill when I hadn't even finished dinner without bothering to ask if I wanted any dessert. And on top of that, there was no mention at all about the dinner issues or any apology whatsoever. I don't need or want a meal comped but for over $40 for a bowl of gumbo and some biscuits (+ tax, tip, etc) I at least expect some acknowledgement or "hey, here's something nice we can do for you". We really enjoyed the last time we were here and this was a genuinely jarring experience compared to that. The place looks pretty rough right now - maybe this is one of those places that has the right vibe in the dark, but nothing felt right about it today, and I'm afraid I can't (won't) recommend it again.

I did have one incident where I waited about 2 hours and they ended up being out of shrimp, potatoes, and sausage. It was a holiday, so I gave them some grace because I know things can get crazy. What really stood out to me was how they handled it. I reached out to their business page, and the owner, Mr. Kevin, personally contacted me and wanted to make it right--no questions asked. That spoke volumes to me and showed they actually care about their customers. Even during the chaos, the staff stayed friendly and professional. Nobody was rude, and the music playlist was on point the whole time. When I came back a few days later, Mr. Kevin made sure my order was done correctly, quickly, and with great service. As a seafood lover, Krab Kingz is good in my book and will continue getting my money. Great food and great customer service go a long way!
