    So the food for the most part was spot on. The only improvement I'd recommend is cooking the potatoes a little longer. The corn was my favorite! Buttery flavor in every bite! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Welcome to the family. Good size dining for a small establishment.

    The food was really solid, seasoned well and fresh. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot. Definitely worth checking out when you're craving seafood.

    Loved this place! Went with my family today, we had never been. The crab was good, and not just that the sides were great as well. And what probably made this place awesome was the customer service. Kevin was so so nice, we told him it was our first time in and he went through and explained everything to us. 100% coming back here!!

    So much food!

    We had some boils and some fried fish. All were excellent! The prime that worked there were very friendly and helpful,

    Crab legs...So fire..I had the picture in my phone but it wouldn't upload right..

    That crab legs and shrimp were ! I wanted to go back but we were headed back home to Minneapolis, Minnesota..I still think about it.. I can't wait to go back to Missouri..This will absolutely be my first stop..Also the staff working were very polite..had me look at my food before leaving just to make sure everything was on point!

    If your a foodie, Krab Kingz is the #1 spot for seafood cravers in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas City is known for BBQ, but this place here!!! With 7 different mouth tantalizing sauces and seasoning, properly clean and devein shrimp and snow crab your not going to find any place better than here. Oh, did I forget to mention this is a black owned business. Support!!

    Krab Kingz is Krazy Kool...alright, alright! I'll stop! The kooky spelling doesn't define Krab Kingz so, let's get straight to the point...how does this place pull an under four star avergae?! This seafood superstar blows other fishes out of the water! The way Krab Kingz presents its bounty of the sea is truly impressive and makes the restaurant a true dining experience. The choices of multiple butters, I am partial to the classic lemon pepper and the spicy tangy cajun, make it an interactive dining experience as well. The way to go is to stop in for lunch and get the combo shrimp and snow crab platter complete with potatoes, corn on the cob, hardboiled egg and sausage. If you do decide to enjoy the experience with a friend make sure you both try exclusive butter/flavorings and switch up the seafood and veggies for an out-of-bounds (as Sir Fieri would say) meal! To some the sticker shock of Krab Kingz may be enough to scare you away however, do not let this hinder you from experiencing a true form of unique comfort classics of the crustacean variety. Krab Kingz is on my "Top Ten in KC Seafood Specialties" for sure even if it is a St. Louis native. Dip your toe in the waters of Krab Kingz, don't worry I assure you the water is fine...and so are the sweet succulent crab legs, tender juicy shrimp, firm but melt in your mouth seasoned corn and tender potatoes plus all that butter!...more than fine if you ask me downright perfect!

    First time here but we will definitely be back! My girlfriend and I split the crab and shrimp platter. It was more than enough for both of us. The flavor was addicting. I recommend the honey garlic butter. The crab was wonderful but the potatoes, sausage, and corn were so so good too. The restaurant was super clean and I liked the decor inside. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Keep up the great work Krab Kingz, glad to have you in KC!

    Very good food best crab I have eaten in KC ver clean place nice and small location feels like home very nice people running the place I highly recommend prices were very fair we will definitely be going again

    Seafood Platter

    At first glance I was initially uncomfortable with the area and appearance, luckily we decided to enter the restaurant. The staff were amazing, very friendly, the price is what you'd expect for seafood and the serving size, the restaurant is clean and comfortable. My husband and I shared the Seafood Platter with cajun seasoning...absolutely delicious. I wish we had this level of crab boils in AZ. So flavorful, the sausage was tasty, I usually don't like sausage in crab boils. I've never had a crab boil that had boiled eggs, who knew...of course the crab, shrimp, potatoes and corn were all equally delicious and prepared perfectly. We will definitely stop by each time we visit my daughter in KS.

    I've only ordered the seafood boil but it's soooo goood! Do you love seafood and butter? If so, this is your place! There are several flavors that you can chose from to add to your butter. I typically do Parmesan garlic and my husband does honey garlic. The portions are good sized.

    My wife and I have heard only good things about this place for awhile now. So we decided to try it today. Guess what! They did not disappoint! The guys behind the counter were super friendly and welcoming. The service was quick. And the food was incredible! We got the crab and shrimp platter. It was perfectly seasoned and came with crab, shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes and a hard boiled egg. All perfectly cooked and delicious! They have a nice menu with a lot of different options (fried and not fried), which is great! Trust me you HAVE to go here. We cannot wait to go back!!

    2 crab clusters & shrimp with corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, and boiled egg. SOOO YUMMY!
    Tristan P.

    This place is the TRUTH! Service is always quick unless there is a long line but it's always worth the wait. It's a hole in the wall gem not only because the food is perfectly cooked, you also choose and mix&match the sauce. This place is FAR better than Crazy Crab, which is located across the street so DONT mistaken Crazy Crab for Krab Kingz. You'll be disappointed if you do.

The cocktail (gin blossom) was…read moregreat, but a salad and salmon were the only gluten-free options and they were both pretty ordinary. The salmon and broccolini were cooked well but the risotto was undercooked (crunchy in the middle). The fudgy ganache ball, the only dessert option, was also kind of ordinary. I thought restaurants would take the opportunity to really shine, to try to impress, but that was not my experience. Particularly surprising was how indifferent the service was. The bill was almost $90, I didnt feel like what I got was worth that much money money. We had a drink in the bar after we finished dinner and the service was much more attentive and friendly, which made the dinner service even more apathetic by comparison. I went to the same restaurant for happy hour about a month ago and got mussels in curry cream sauce that were amazing, so perhaps my expectations were too high.

Dinner in the restaurant with Erin was very pleasant. We started with the shrimp appetizer and if you are not a fan of horseradish, don't be scared off by the description (I'm glad I talked myself into trying it). The flavors in the cream sauce balanced the normally strong flavor of horseradish and it was excellent. Hubby had the ribeye and mashed potatoes and I tried the crab cakes and beet salad. I was very happy with my choices and the two made for a nice entree. Either would have been too small on their own. Dinner was good and we would recommend it, but we probably won't rush back just because it's a fairly pricey meal and it wasn't exceptional in our minds.

Steak tender, flavorful, juicy (I get medium). I love the chunks of lobster in the Lobster bisque. The star of the night was the dessert & I'm usually not a dessert girly. Overall, It's one of those spots that works for a date night, but also for a random "we're already out, let's grab a drink and quality food" kind of Tuesday. Consistent, good energy, and always a safe choice.

The chairs are incredibly comfortable, exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Great wine selection, and the cocktails were excellent. We started with the spinach artichoke dip -- a little on the creamy side, which is a good thing if you like it that way. Served with tortilla chips. I ordered the octopus appetizer as my main. It was perfectly cooked -- slightly crispy without being overdone, which is rare for octopus. The potatoes underneath were a touch underdone for my taste, but the sauce tied everything together nicely. The shrimp and grits were outstanding. The grits were cooked perfectly -- having spent a lot of time in the South, I know good grits when I taste them. The shrimp was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but the real star was the sauce.

The restaurant smelled and looked clean. Very nice decor and lighting ambience was nice. After being seated we waited about 15-20 for water. Shortly after the server approached with no introduction, simply asked if we wanted to get an appetizer started and drinks. He asked if we were celebrating any thing and we told him our anniversary. We ordered two appetizers to share, the Shrimp kisses are incredible, brought out by another server. We finished the appetizers and the dirty dishes sat in front of us for another 20 min while we waited. The manager ended up coming over and clearing the plates. My wife had asked for more bread, never got that but the next time we saw our waiter he cleared dishes from another party and put them on his old table, still dirt from the last guests. By now our water glasses were empty and the ice almost completely melted. Server comes by with my wife's salad and says, here you go, sorry about the wait, food will be right out. We think nothing about it but as we look up, the manager is bringing the entree. "Didn't want it to get cold" he says as he puts it down. So let's talk food, wife had the blackened halibut and was exceptional. All the veggies were delicious as well as my steak and lobster tail. Mashed potatoes were smooth with a few tasty lumps mixed in. Meal was very good. Server walked by in passing, asked if everything is tasting ok. "Very good " we replied and he pressed on, my coke nearly empty. As we finished he showed up again asking if we wanted desert but we were full. Next he asked if we were rewards members, I said no and he began his spiel. Told him I think we are ok, thanks, but continued about how it's only $27 and this meal will get me a free desert next time. "We are good my friend, thank you". This is the time where he realized he forgot it was our anniversary, he said "oh yea, weren't we celebrating tonight?" "We were", I said. Then he insisted on giving us a small desert, on him. We declined but again he insisted. Unfortunately it took another 20 min for it to come out. Small cup with chocolate cake, caramel, and heath bar with a scoop of ice cream. It was fabulous, too full but fabulous! Again, another log period for the check. Tragic that this meal and experience had to be tainted by this service. Here is the kicker, servers were constantly moving all around us checking on tables, delivering food, water and drinks. They never once looked to help any of our servers tables. The manager was kinda directing traffic as another waiter filled our water in the beginning after the long stent and again another brought out the appetizers. He had to step in to clear plate and bring food. The area we were seated in was not too busy, handled by several wait staff and yet still a delay. This 100% could have been avoided as other tables under our server had said something to the staff about the delays. I will say, I may return for another meal in this establishment due to its taste, but will not just sit back is service is terrible again. I thought about engaging the management or even walking out a few times however, it was my anniversary. I also don't like to treat people or establishments negatively as karma has a funny way of showing its face.
