Went to eat here on January 30, 2026, and had the worst experience. After ordering appetizers, a main course, and drinks, the server asked for ID. When my companion showed his Canadian ID, we were told they do not accept IDs from outside the USA. I didn’t even bother showing mine since we are both Canadian. I’ve been to 11 states and eaten at many restaurants across the U.S., and I’ve never had an issue using a Canadian ID.
The situation completely ruined my mood. I paid for the food but didn’t eat it, felt unwelcome, and left. I don’t blame the server—she was following policy—but the policy itself is ridiculous.

The lemon pepper seafood combo was an absolute standout. The half pound of snow crab was sweet, tender, and perfectly cooked, with the lemon pepper seasoning clinging to every crack and crevice of the shell. Each bite had a bright citrus zing balanced by buttery richness that enhanced the natural flavor of the crab without overpowering it.The half pound of headless shrimp was just as impressive—plump, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The lemon pepper gave the shrimp a bold, savory kick with just enough acidity to keep each bite fresh and crave-worthy. They were cooked to that ideal snap, not rubbery, not soft, just right.The calamari tied the whole experience together. Lightly fried, golden, and crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside, it added a satisfying crunch to the meal. Paired with the seasoning and dipping sauce, it was impossible to stop eating.Altogether, this dish was indulgent, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying—a perfect choice for seafood lovers who appreciate bold seasoning and generous portions. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. 🍋🦀🍤

We ordered from here for the first time tonight. We got 2 seafood boils and they were beyond amazing!! The only reason we stopped eating was cause we were so full from the generous portions!! We will be back without a doubt!! Have a safe and happy New Year!!

I'm so sorry, my anger made me act in the wrong way, but I hope you understand. When you're out with your family and an employee has a bad attitude, people are filled with bad feelings, but you're not to blame... I like the place

Today I want to shake King Crab. I have been to this establishment many times always enjoy the service but today on November. 23rd I had a server by the name of Rosanna. She was awful didn’t offer me any refills on my drink tossed my food on the table several different times and was reluctant to checking on to see how I was doing just because of this interaction with this server, I will no longer be carrying my business at this establishment. I will drive way to Saugus to eat seafood, where I know the service is phenomenal. I hope she gets fired. I have never been so upset when visiting a restaurant until today. I hope the owner or the manager sees this review and I will be sending this to channel 7 news.

The meal was quite disappointing. The crab had a sour taste, suggesting it wasn't fresh. Both the crab and the side dishes seemed old and spoiled, and the portion of crab served was notably insufficient.
