We went for my 9 year old son's birthday. We were one of three parties in the restaurant. The service was quick but taste was not so great. Crab legs had little and I mean little crab meat in them. No tool to take the meat out. Pasta with red sauce had no sauce on it and then was returned to add the sauce and then came back with some white sauce. Not great. Ordered french fries that never came but rice did that we didn't order. We were then charged for the rice and fries came after the meal was just a out done. Asked them to sing happy birthday and came out with a piece of cake and candle. Shortly after music was played. Good thing we were singing because the staff wasn't. Very sweet waitress but she can't make up for the entire experience. Good thing we were automatically charged 18% gratuity. Overral not great. We will not be returning. We left hungry and broke. Lol

The waitress took a long time to get our sides we asked for we made it 20 minutes into our food still waiting on our side sauce but it's fine it wasn't anything crazy the food was out standing though

King Crab was extremely overbooked and they never honored our reservation. We needed up leaving and going to another restaurant. What's the point of making a reservation if it's not going to be honored. Very disappointed!!!

A Special Place in My Heart

King Crab isn’t just a restaurant to me—it’s where my love for seafood began and a cornerstone of my love story. It was the first place I ever tried seafood, and I instantly fell in love with the bold, fresh flavors.

This restaurant also holds sentimental value as it’s where I had my first date with my now husband. Fast forward two years, I returned, and the food was just as incredible, if not better. The rich flavors and impeccable seasoning were so good that I couldn’t stop savoring every bite.

If you’re contemplating trying seafood or looking for the perfect spot to enjoy it, King Crab should be your top choice. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is excellent, and the food is unmatched.

King Crab has been a significant part of my journey, and I’ll always cherish the memories created here. Highly recommend—and who knows, maybe next time they’ll give me a free pass for all the love I have for this place!

You should try their house special sauce * chef’s kiss*. If you have any dietary restrictions please be sure to let them know.

I would consider myself a seafood junkie, But I know that I won’t settle for poorly prepared seafood. That is why this place is phenomenal, I’m just finishing up a boil bag with king crab and the seasoning is completely out of this world. Portion sizes are phenomenal, especially for the price as well. These guys, you know to bring the best out of seafood and variety of seafood. Also, the menu has a lot of different choices for multiple occasions, Speaking that variety is the spice of life! If you love seafood around the western New York area please come here you won’t be disappointed!

This lady who serve all the time, she’s SUPER RUDE. Everytime I go there she’s the same like if you’re gonna serve, service with niceness. She forces you to order more and more which is ridiculous.

Me and my friend went to king crab yesterday. I’m a huge seafood fan he isn’t of course, because he’s allergic to shellfish , but he does enjoy the fried catfish basket with fries and hush puppies. We came there and ordered what we usually would but this time his food was full of grease . I told the one waitress who is always there and always seems to have an attitude that comes off rude and she proceeded to get the manager . Once the manager approached the table I explained what the issue was and stated I didn’t want money back, as they assume that when there is a complaint and never try to give refunds just $5 off no matter what it is so I know better to just ask for I a fresh basket of fish because usually it is truly enjoyable for my friend. He stated he would make a fresh basket . He takes the basket and goes to the back and is back out to our table in less than 5 minutes and that made us suspicious . My friend noticed that the pieces that came back were the ones he already had the first time and now they were even more grease filled! I called the manager back over and asked if this basket was fresh he said yes . I then proceeded to say “well this loos like the same batch you just took and line you put it back in the oil” , he then stated “it is”, yet he just stated it was a fresh batch! Now he’s trying to go back and forth about it being fried food and that’s how it is . I stated back to him we’ve been here numerous times as we had and that it’s never that greasy . My friend might as well have been drinking oil! He then stated “That’s how fried stuff is it’s gonna drain , you should know better than anyone”. He basically insinuated that since I was an African American female that I should know about fried foods even though he never seen me eat the fried food because I had a food bag and didn’t want to cross contaminate because of the allergy my friend gas! I was immediately appalled, disgusted and just wanted to leave . I’ve never felt more insulted while I’m spending my money ever! I the asked what did he mean by that comment even though I clearly knew what he meant by that and he stated “Like that’s just how fried food is , look at this I’ll give $5 off” I then stated “No, your gonna take every dollar off because we no longer would like to eat here after that insult and I’m ready to leave “ he then walks away with the basket and the rude waitress brings the bill I didn’t want to act out of character and get ignorant with them just because they did with me . I took the receipt to pay for the bag I had already eaten and drinks and wrote on the back of it “You have a predominately black customer pool and to insult me that way was disgusting and very disappointing as I spend a lot of money here . You have to be able to talk to every customer you have of every race and make them feel comfortable not get combative when there is an issue with their food they are paying for ! You should know better “. The waitress came to take the bill and started to read and told me I shouldn’t come back if I had an issue and tried to argue with me I then advised her to get away from me as I didn’t get disrespectful and that I already planned on never coming back! This was my first racial encounter in all my 25 black years and it was very shocking where it happened as I never expected that ! I will NOT BE BACK AND OTHER BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD DO THE SAME AS THE MANAGER SPOKE HIS TRUTH ON HOW HE FEELS ABOUT “OUR KIND”. Below is the waitress I didn’t even get a pic of the food as that’s how mad I was but yeah definitely won’t be at this location anymore .

We’ve had good experiences here in the past but tonight will be our last visit. The shrimp was full of poop, the corn was mushy as were the crab, the sauce is pure oil and the owner is an older man who - when made aware of the dirty shrimp situation in both the crab boil and fried shrimp meal waved the waitress off as if he didn’t care. We will never be back since they clearly fell off and that’s why they were empty on a Friday night.

Welp this is the second time me and my family was talked to crazy by the staff and we won't be back again........we all received our boils and the potatoes were undercooked.....once we notified owner......he proceeded to kitchen then returned to our table wit a bowl of new potatoes and slammed them on the table and told us don't complain again when this was our first and only complaint. My aunt was gonna order something to go for my uncle and totally changed her mind after owner spoke to us like he did.......no worries plus storming crab is better, king crab food has gon down as far as quantity anyways
