I came into Krab Queenz on a Sunday around 4PM with my reality TV friend, who hyped it up from a past visit—raving about how good the food was and how great the staff treated them. Naturally, expectations were high.
I originally had my eye (and stomach) set on the shrimp and waffles, but after a 15-minute wait just to get to the counter (when we were the only ones there), I was told they couldn’t make waffles today. No explanation, just a quick “nope” and the employee disappeared to the back again. I waited a bit longer giving him the benefit of the doubt- maybe he was the only scheduled employee for the day- and finally pivoted to a shrimp po’ boy—only to be told it would be a 45-minute wait. A bit stunned, I settled for shrimp and fries instead, asking for them extra crispy. The total? $75. And then I was hit with a 30-minute wait for that.
Already irritated, I honestly should’ve just stuck with the po’ boy. We tried to kill time at Ralph’s with some ice cream, thinking we’d be back just in time to grab our food. Nope. Came back after 45 minutes, waited 5 more minutes at the counter, and were then told it would be another 10 minutes.
Nearly an hour later, food finally in hand, I was praying it was worth it.
Now for the good news: the gumbo? Absolutely phenomenal. Truly lives up to its name—“The Best Damn Gumbo” is no exaggeration. It was flavorful, soulful, and exactly what you’d want.
The shrimp and fries, however? First bite of the fries and I thought I accidentally ordered mashed potatoes in stick form. Into the air fryer they went. Once revived, both the shrimp and fries were solid—great flavor, just completely let down by the wait and lack of crispiness.
Final thoughts: This place clearly can deliver amazing food, but the disorganization and long wait times just killed the vibe. I want to believe this was an off day. I’m rooting for a redemption arc, but unfortunately, today was a letdown.
