    We went there for the very first time for the all you can eat snow crab legs. The first few batches came out rather moderate to where after we finished the first round of them, the next was on its way. The wait for each round didn’t take anymore than 10 mins. As time went by, the time stretched longer to being served and it wasn’t busy. 1/2 pound is where they go down to, after you initially start. Only complaint is that the time between the rounds got longer and longer for no reason and then started to wait 15-18 mins inbetween which I think they did that on purpose cuz it was coming up on the last hour of serving them. If you’re going to serve them at a constant time, continue to do so.

    Great quality of food! The king crab was amazing! Great service all around, a friendly, knowledgeable and capable waiter , other staff refilling our waters and taking away used plates regularly. A delicious slice (complimentary ) key lime pie do celebrate my daughter’s birthday. First time here but not the last. Also great fried oysters and popcorn shrimp apps!

    Our server, Erin, is attentive without hovering and has wonderful people skills. Crab stuffed mushrooms, salmon and skai all had nice flavor profiles snd were well prepared. Key lime pie and tiramisu were tasty. Thought the roasted potatoes served with the salmon was a bit too spicy and not the best pairing. The aioli that accompanied the stuffed mushrooms was well balanced and quite tasty. Enjoyed our meal!

    This is a great place to eat! The service was incredible, and they were super attentive! I would highly recommend getting the Oysters Rockefeller and their Crab Shellfish Bowl Dinner for Two! :)

    I enjoyed the time at King Crab House. My stuffed mushrooms were cold when they arrived at the table. I did not care for the seasoning on the 2 lobster tails. Went on Friday, March 7th.

    The all you can eat crab is a fantastic deal!! They kept bringing the crab without us needing to ask for more. New England clam chowder is fantastic too. Both my wife and I left stuffed and happy. We love this place and will definitely be coming back!

    Enjoyed an extended restaurant week menu at King Crab House! The $45 choice features an app, entree (1 lb. Snow Crab legs) and dessert... While the $60 offers 1 lb. Medium Alaskan King Crab legs which are the delicious way to go. Ordered sides of broccoli, roasted potatoes and fries. We paired mussels and calamari to start while we had room for the Alaskan King Crab and slices of key lime pie and tiramisu. The kitchen sent out food fresh and ready to dive into and the sides were a great addition. King Crab House has a good selection of beers on tap and definitely a place for crabby people to enjoy. Will try the lunch time All You Can Eat Snow Crab legs for $69.95 per person next visit.
