Had hoped that this would be a nice spot but it was overpriced dry crab legs. I could walk next door to giant and get cheaper fresher steamed legs. The place was half empty on a Saturday night with one unmotivated server who took 30 minutes to bring one of the two choices of beer offered. Overall a disappointing experience and not at all worth the mandatory 20% tip for bottom rung service.

Very nice place. The bar was cute. Service was good. But I'm here to tell you about the food, it was delicious! We got the surf and turf. The crab cake was meaty, seasoned and not alot of filling if much at all. The yellow rice with garlic butter was tasty especially Tasted with the roasted garlic sauce. Lamb chops ?. Two thumbs! I'll go back. Oh and how could I forgettable crab rolls as our appetizer. Top notch, the only thing is I thought they could have been cooked. Little longer for a crisper outside.

I got there right between the brunch and dinner time. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the switchover to dinner. The staff were friendly and pleasant. I ordered the wings and king rolls. This was my first time there but I'll be going back to sample other menu items.Parking: Krab king is located in a shopping center with plenty of free parking spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: The sidewalk in front of the restaurant has wheelchair accessibility

The place is small but it looks great inside. We happened to be the only guests on a Monday evening. Got lamb chops they were good but on the thin side. Wings were good. They had TV's to view but they were more for the bar as I had a bad angle to view and the other monitors were showing their menu items. Got the crab rolls the crab cakes, Mac and cheese brussel sprouts. All of the crab items had jumbo lump meat for real. The issue was they were dry. The jerk crab cake was really dry didn't care much for it but poured ketchup on it. The Old Bay Crab cake was a little better. I wanted the lemon pepper one to try but they were out. Note crab cake is market priced. Overall it was a nice place to visit and the lump crab is more than 90% of the places that claim lump crab will give you. Work out the cooking time a bit or add a base to counter drying out and it will be perfect.

So I had a hankering for seafood ever since finishing create my Google Maps curated list of DMV seafood eats. Plus, I'm back to being a pescatarian ????? again after committing to it in the past (was for 2 years in 2016 - 2018.) It's totals about 60 restaurants. Krab King stood out with their delectable menu so I decided to visit them and order.Prior to ordering, I called for their specific address as my GPS was somehow not finding it ??? and on Krab King's website it listed the business number and street BUT no city, state, etc. It was in Maryland on Google, but NOT their website. I looked for Crain Highway and there's two: Crain Highway and Old Crain Highway. Confusing right ??So I called and the Krab King staff (young guy) was helpful giving me driving instructions to Krab King - even though he couldn't here me clearly (I guess it was muffled with the speaker on ?.) Good thing the Ford dealership (landmark ?), is across the street. (Thanks B.J. for the help ??!) It wasn't too far from me when I first called so on I drove to the restaurant.The parking lot is big (not Target or Walmart MEGA huge ?) but it gets the job done ✅. It shares a free parking lot with neighboring grocery store, Giant. I bought one order of each: Salmon Rolls, King Rolls, and Krab Fries. I was asked if I wanted sauces, I said "Sure ?." That was it. Then, I paid and patiently waited ?. The lady bartender was pretty sweet . I chopped it up with her and asked how long the restaurant had been open, which was it was about 2 years ?. (This is such a hidden foodie gem!) There was a small family that left and the little girl was gracious enough to tip the bartender (without wanting to let her mom know ?.) It was a cute and funny moment!The bartender lady asked if I wanted a take-out bag. I kindly thanked her, said my goodbyes, and exited the restaurant. (Upon exiting, I noticed the bag fee ? wasn't applied. I'm pretty sure it is applicable, but anyways searching 'Prince George's County Better Bag Bill' should pull the plastic ban/fees on reusable bags & paper bags. - They're missing out on money ?...The law went into effect January 1, 2024.)All this to say...NEXT time I arrive I'll buy the Krab Fries again and the Seafood Alfredo ???!I had a good time. Krab King made a good first impression and I appreciate that ?. For their patience in giving me driving directions, to talking with me while I waited for my food, and to bagging everything. Overall, A1 job from new restaurant Krab King.?Please come and enjoy yourselves. I know I did ???!Dietary restrictions: You are instructed to please ALERT your server of any allergies or dietary restrictions. So doing so before placing an order is mostly best!Parking: There is a large parking lot. It is shared with the neighboring Giant grocery store, to Krab King's right (to the entry left of the restaurant; to the exit right of the restaurant. )Kid-friendliness: All ages are welcome. There is a tiny kid's menu consisting of: 3 wings & fries; mac n' cheese; cheese quesadilla & fries; 3 butterflied shrimp & fries.The kids menu is dine-in only and for kids 12 years and under.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.

Five of us went late after a gymnastics meet. Everyone ranted and raved about their food. The chicken wings were absolutely delicious albeit scantly (3), the spinach dip was on point, the seafood Mac and cheese was a hit and the shrimp came out a beautiful and plump golden brown. My daughter ordered seafood spring rolls and she said it was the bomb! The service was great. Our only complaint was the food and drinks was a little pricey. However, I highly recommend!

Krab King had decent food, some of it is way over priced but was worth the effort and cost until I encountered their rude Manager. I attempted to place an order five times that would not go through and my Daughter went to the Restaurant to place the order since she was next door in Giant. She discovered that the reason I could not place the order was because I had added tacos to the order and they only sell tacos on Tuesdays. When the order did not go through, I thought it was the payment method so I started switching credit/debit cards. When that did not work, I called on the phone approximately seven times and no one answered the phone. When I arrived at the Restaurant, I inquired about the non-answered phone calls. Well, the rude Manager told me he did not know where the phone was located and became extremely rude when I said that I had been calling and that the least they could do was to answer the phone for customers—he disagreed. I told him that this unfortunately is what happens in Black Owned Businesses and of course, he disagreed. We can do better than this and we do not have to patronize an arrogant non-customer focused business. Not recommended!

The food is great! We had the Jerk Crab & Shrimp Quesadilla, Mac & Cheese, Lemon Pepper Wings and Spinach Dip with Crabmeat. Everything was delicious. Some of the best wings I’ve had.
