I made a reservation for a group of 7. I found this place on Yelp. The portions were as expected, and I appreciated the excellent seasoning choices for the seafood boils. The Cajun seasoning was solid with heat in my crab boil. You will get dirty, and they provide bibs and gloves. The decor was kitschy, and our service was average. Then comes the check. The restaurant charges an 18% service fee for parties of 6 or more, which is NOT gratuity/tip. You will add a tip to the bill. For a blended group of kids and adults (excluding drinks), expect to spend about $30 per person. read more

Went inside ordered carryout. The inside did seem a bit dark and dingy but I was attended to pretty quickly and food came out within 10 min I would say. Ordered a seafood combo and added sausage. I loved that my seafood was placed in a nice carryout bag that's reusable! It was nice that they placed gloves in the bag too :). When I got home, the food was still piping hot and cooked perfectly! I wasn't a fan of the sausage, although it had good flavor, it had a "grainy" texture I didn't like. The seafood sauce (their "juicy" mix) was very spiced and flavorful but was lacking balance. I would've preferred more lemon. I think using sweet corn would've also helped. Decent amount of seafood though, so I'd definitely order again, just try a different sauce. read more

Ok, here is the real scoop. It is a 5 star rating knowing that it is a fun, family oriented, repurposed building, with GREAT food and service with out pretense and crazy prices to pay for high end atmosphere! King Crab is located in a defunct Applebees. It is operated by a Chinese family that is putting their absolute heart and sole in this place. With that background, my review will make more sense. At first the menus is confusing. A seafood restaurant with Random appetizers, including edamame, and science, including steamed rice. However, we soon realized they had a great selection of bag steamed seafood in various sauces as well as fried seafood. The house sauce was amazing. The raw oysters were fresh and well priced. The full service bar was compressive and the bartender was friendly. Knowledgeable, and made a heck of a good Long Island Tea. All and all, if you are looking for good seafood in a relaxed atmosphere, King Crab is a great choice. read more

Great crab, Great prices, and staff, specifically Jarule, 10/10!! Combo D was amazing!!

We came here and got the Combo D with the juicy sauce and mild spiciness. The food came within 7 minutes and it was very good. It tasted better than most crab I've had throughout Florida, and our waiter Jarule was quick, attentive, and very kind. We appreciate him, he made our meal very enjoyable. #JaruleForManager read more

Really fun experience and delicious meal! We had both the Snow Crab Legs and the King Crab Legs... next time we will only get the Snow Crab Legs. The king Crab legs are much bigger and more costly, but not as flavorful as the snow crabs. The atmosphere is fun and unique, and the staff is super friendly. Keep in mind that you are going to get dirty! Enjoy it! :) read more

Service was great! Food was amazing and they have an insane Groupon happening right now! I only wish they had more desserts

Showed up here when it was a busy night, and it was lucky we got into the place at all. I will say that our server Amanda pretty much drove the bus, we got some hush puppies and then went with the family meal that provided a huge seafood boil: Black Mussels, peel and eat shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, andouille sausage, crab legs and a few lobster tails. We opted for the garlic butter flavor with medium seasoning. First of all, they are flavorful! The amount of food was enough to feed 5 people, considering we don't eat like this. The hush puppies were executed perfectly- small, light, crispy. The shrimp, sausage, crab, corn, and potatoes were all delicious (admittedly, I do not eat mussels often). We had enough to take out and enjoy again. I am not sure how this will get warmed up, but Amanda hooked us up with a mess free situation by double bagging and then using a paper bag for easy carry out of the restaurant. I would recommend people come here. It's busy, they're open 12-10 basically every night, but Friday I think it's 12-11. I would have posted photos, but we dug right in. Wearing bibs, plastic gloves did not make for a very photogenic experience. But the taste was worth the garb. Thanks to Amanda and the team for hooking us up with some great grub!

Thank you Yelp for helping me to find this place. We went there at 3pm and saw all those empty seats and we almost left. We rarely get Cajun seafood boil so we were kinda lost and didn't know what to order.

Okay. Read for a real review. I used to work at Louisiana Cajun Seafood House in California. Where I learned how to make these boils on my own and to say we are picky about our seafood and sauce is an understatement. But THIS PLACE DELIVERED. I'm sad to go back to California where we don't have a King Crab near by. A special thanks to our server Trinity for being so welcoming and kind. We did the Lobster special pictured below. And we didn't even get pictures of our meal before we ate but just know it was plenty of food for the price and easily could of fed 3/4 people. We took some back to our hotel! We ordered the combination of all three sauces in medium, and then ordered our own side sauces in hot and medium for different flavors. Worth it and will be craving this place in a couple weeks!! read more

King Crab - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Being from Southern California I have to give an comparison to the 5 star flavor I would give two most popular places I've enjoyed there "The Boiling Crab" and "The Kick'n crab". The Central FL restaurant comparable to them would be Hot n' Juicy Crawfish. Where this place was lacking was in the flavor missing the loads of garlic most places use and heat for Hot and extra Hot. Service was average, refills never happened and we mentioned Hot being too weak and she didn't offer Extra Hot or anything else. On the upside they provided gloves, crawfish was large and the taste was slightly above average. read more

Stopped into King Crab for a bite to eat after getting back into town. My boyfriend and I ordered a shrimp and crab combo with extra shrimp and sausage. We also did a dirty rice with crawfish. All to share. We did the combo sauce for our meal. Sauce was tasty and the seafood was good. Our waitress Yakira was awesome. She was very attentive, friendly and helpful. We never had to ask ourselves "where's our server" as busy as the restaurant was. I'm glad to have a great crab restaurant near home. read more

This place is bar none, one of my favorite places to eat in the Orlando metro area. The food is consistently good, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are reasonable for seafood. Literally everything we ate here was good. We of course, always order the low country boil with the "Juicy" sauce. The crab legs are fresh and not limp. The shrimp is never over cooked. But the star is always the "Juicy" sauce that the seafood comes swimming in. My wife and i's favorite thing to do is to order a side of white rice with it, pour the juicy sauce over the rice along with some seafood, and mix it all together. Phenomenal. The sides are also really great. Idk what they do to fry their stuff, but their corn fritters, hush puppies, and French fries are uniquely crispy. The outside is really hard, but when you bite into them, it's really pillowy on the inside. Even their kids meal chicken tenders are better than 95% of kids meal tenders ive tasted! I'm generally pretty conservative with my reviews. But King Crab has earned every star! 5/5!!! read more

We dined here Sunday evening. The place if FILTHY. Their wine selection is very limited to poor. Their cabernet is awful, and they were out of pinot grigio. They claim to have a full bar but they do not have tonic. Ever. The King Crab leg was limp. We asked for the manager and when a manager comes to your table with their hands in their pockets, you know this is not going to go well. She replaced the crab, but it was still sub-par. (and no discount was offered but at least she replaced it) But the worse part was the filth. The napkin container on the table was only cleaned because I used my wet nap to clean it. The photos do not show the level of grossness. The menus were sticky and covered in food. We did not dare go into the restrooms. Very unpleasant experience overall. read more

The taste of the food really saved this rating! We had called about having a bigger party (7). They did have seat ready for us, but then took nearly 30 minutes to come get our drink order. And another 20 to take regular order. We were there over 2 hours --- the space is a couple converted old Applebees. Just tooooook toooo long read more

This is a fantastic place to indulge your palate in some good ole Southern style seafood! Parking is quite ample in this spot as it used to be Applebee's in the Loop area. I got a really great spot as it was about 6pm on a Tuesday evening. Traffic was light so I arrived pretty quickly. Upon entering the decor was very in tune to the theme of fishing. It feels as if you are aboard a ship. The bathroom was very clean and well kept. They have a sound system that played some great variety of music more popular hits. Since it was happy hour they generally will have it a bit louder as the evening goes on but you can also have a quiet convo it was that quiet when I walked in. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a waitress who was kind enough to get me a diet coke no ice. I initially ordered the fried cauliflower bites with ranch and they came out super fast. They were seasoned well, piping hot and delicious! I ended up deciding to order a pound of shrimp in their garlic butter sauce that comes with potatoes and corn on the cob. It was so much more shrimp than I expected and really big shrimp too! Think almost half colossal size! I ended up taking half my shrimp and potatoes home to eat later and they had even more flavor on the second helping. My favorite was an alcoholic drink I got on their happy hour called "Henny Punch" made with Hennessy and fruit juices similar to Hypnotiq but much better tasting. Some friends joined and ordered the fried catfish and cajun krinkle fries. I sampled and it was delish! Check it out you wont be upset you did. read more

Was recently here with the family and we had a blast! Our server was such a sweetheart and really went along with the energy of the table, she went above and beyond. I wish I had taken pictures of the food but we had everything from calamari, gator bites, hush puppies, edamame and corn nuggets!l as appetizers and everything was great. As for plate, I did the Cajun style shrimp and sausage and it was packed with flavor, definitely a great portion (I did 1/2 pound of both). The bartender did amazing, we kept ordering round after round of shots and their specialty drinks, the drinks were great to say the least and filled to the rim! Can't forget the music, king crab definitely had a good playlist playing the whole time! read more

King Crab - Lemon drop martini (left), Rum punch (right) - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

They are located inside the old Applebee's building. The inside is large, clean and inviting. It was pretty empty when we went, but there were a lot of to go orders being picked up. Our server was very helpful with the menu. It was our first visit and he explained our options and patiently answered our questions. This visit we had the calamari appetizer and the lobster w/ crabmeat po-boy and the linguine with shrimp. The calamari was good but were only rings. The po-boy was very good - fresh bread and seafood. The shrimp in the pasta was good but bland and could have used some seasoning on it. Overall it was a good experience and I think a few visits will be needed to really get a feel for this new option in the neighborhood. read more

We waited forever for this place to open so when it finally did we were super excited to try it out. I'm not sure how business is going overall, but it was slammed when we were there with nearly every table filled by the time we left. That said, we were seated quickly and the server was there promptly. Like most restaurants staffing is an issue, and as the restaurant filled, service got more spotty. The staff did a good job working as a team to keep drinks filled and keep things moving. Not a huge fan of the big bag of food you dump on your plate. I get that's the way these places are, but I really dislike it. Id love to see a few plated seafood options on the menu. We ordered the scallops and the shrimp. The food was good. Well seasoned and not overcooked. I was very disappointed at the portion size however. The menu lists the dishes by weight so I have to suspect there is a scale in the kitchen. I'll also grant you that all weights are pre-cooked. You can judge for yourself whether the image below contains a pound of scallops. Note: I'd eaten 2. One of the things I hate most at seafood places is when they mislead about portion size, or pass off one fish as another. It's possible this is done by mistake, but since the seafood is the highest cost item on the ticket, the potential to try and drive margins by shorting the guest is always there. Not saying this was one or the other. We will likely be back, but will be watching to see if this is common. read more

King Crab - Behold! A "pound" of scallops. $25 - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

In town on vacation, found an offering on Groupon, read the reviews, decided to give it a try. I'm a huge crab fan, but from the Westcoast, we don't do boils, so I decided on the crab cakes basket. My hubby loves his catfish, so he went with that. YUM!!! these have a panko (I think) breading & it was scrumptious!! Onion rings, fries were cooked perfectly & volume was adundant! Tarter sauce was very good, tangy, but the catsup tasted like a cheaper brand. Fortunately, there was little need for catsup, so Don't let that stop you from walking in the door! Now, I know.....all fried food? But Nothing was greasy in the least! So hot, fresh, YUMMY. Service was quick & friendly. Thanks King Crab for a great meal! Oh....I really loved the music too. Good choice. Peppy & fun tunes!! read more

My mother in law was craving some crabs so we came here to fill her and my daughter's crab cravings. My father in law is allergic to shellfish and I am not a huge seafood lover. This restaurant is accommodating to ensure that they handled my father in law allergies well and made sure nothing with shellfish touched anything he had ordered. I enjoyed my Shrimp pasta, there were sizable pieces and enough to enjoy the pasta. My husband, daughter and mother in law ordered the combo bags that came with crab, shrimp, corn, and potatoes. My mother in law added blue crab to her order; that was the only thing she didn't enjoy she said it was mushy. The waitress said most likely because it was out of season. read more

We have been here a couple of times, but probably will not again. I didn't want to get too messy as we were meeting friends afterwards. So I asked our server about the Dirty Rice dish. She told me it was rice, sausage, corn and onions with a meat of my choice. So I picked the crab meat. What I expected was perhaps a scoop or two of rice on a plate, with a small cob of corn, sliced up sausage and some onions just like the steamed entrees they serve. There are no photos of this on the menu. What I got, as you can see, is a bowl of rice that exactly resembled Chinese Fried Rice. All the ingredients were diced super small. There were four corn kernels that I could count, Some sausage that was about 1/4" cubes, no onions that i could see, and I had to search for the crab meat. There could not have been 1/2 an ounce of it. This entree is $14. I took a couple of spoonfuls and was not impressed, it was kind of dry and bland. I asked our server about it and she sympathized and I asked her for some of the broth/sauce in an attempt to help the dish out. But then waiting, I called for the manager. He is this young inexperienced kid. I told him how unhappy I was and how uninspiring the dish was. He then proceeded to describe in detail how it is prepared. I don't care how it's prepared, it is just a lousy creation and all he offered was to take it away and off the bill. No offer to replace it, no offer to make another dish quickly, just an awkward "manager" who I was wasting my thoughts and breath on. In the meantime, my wife is done eating. We got our bill, and had to ask to take the $2.50 for a bowl of broth off since I never touched that. We left and I went away hungry.... never again. +1 star for our server, and +1 because my wife enjoyed her dinner. -1 for terrible dish, -1 for practically no crab meat. -1 for the "manager" who has no business skills and to let a customer leave angry. read more

This is your typical seafood in a bag spot. Nothing spectacular. Ordered the Family meal, which included snow crab legs and your two of two other seafood items. Got a 12-piece wing. They looked swollen. Lemon pepper was good, but BBQ was fried with BBQ casually squirted on them. The crab legs were extremely salty, to the point that I couldn't even eat a claw. If you looking for a quick bag, it doesn't hurt to try, but don't expect for your mind to be blown. read more
