About King Crab

King Crab, located at 1746 Walden Ave, Cheektowaga, NY 14225, USA, specializes in seafood, particularly seafood boils. You can contact them at (716) 768-4200 or +1 716-768-4200.

Customer reviews present a mixed but generally positive picture. One reviewer gave the restaurant four stars, primarily due to the reasonable prices. They described the dining atmosphere as very casual and the food as "okay," with some portions being generous. The calamari starter was highlighted as the best dish, praised for its well-cooked breading and tasty dipping sauce. The alligator bites were also enjoyed by a grandson, although they were served on a "too-large pile of fries." The Jambalaya with crab, however, was considered to have a light flavor and lacked sausage and sufficient spicing.

Another reviewer had a very positive experience, comparing the seafood boil favorably to those found in New Orleans. They praised the prices and the authentic smell of the boil, which reminded them of crawfish boils back home. The staff was described as friendly, contributing to a "very nice dinner."

In summary, King Crab offers reasonably priced seafood in a casual dining environment. While some dishes, like the Jambalaya, may lack flavor for some palates, others, like the calamari and seafood boil, are highly praised. The friendly staff and authentic seafood boil experience are significant positives. Potential customers can expect a relaxed atmosphere and generally good food, especially if they enjoy seafood boils.

4 stars for the price anyway. Very casual dinning atmosphere. Food was okay and some portions generous. The calamari starter was the best of the meal. Well cooked with tasty breading and dipping sauce. My grandson enjoyed his alligator bites on a too-large pile of fries. The Jambalaya with crab had too light a flavor for me. No sausage in the mix at all and little spicing much beyond the crab sauce.

Ok so honestly this is the best I have had outside of going home to New Orleans to get it. We had seafood boil and the prices aren’t bad and oh the smell when you open the bag reminded me of a crawfish boil back home. The staff was friendly. Thank you for a very nice dinner!!!!!!

I was so excited to go try King Crab because I was REALLY craving Green Mussels and saw they had them on their menu. Now I try to be very open and honest about my reviews to help businesses. I'm not trying to be mean by no means! But this place was REALLY DIRTY!!! The bathroom smelled like urine and the toilets two of them didn't flush, they didn't have hardly any soap to wash hands,a little paper towel roll left on top of the paper towel dispenser. The floors were really dirty and the light above our table REALLY DUSTY!! I honestly didn't notice that until after we ate we were so hungry because we hadn't eaten since breakfast. The Green Mussels were not bad, but The waitress brought my mussels out 1st, and like 10 min later my Sisters Gator tail, and then another 10 min my husband 's food!!! Everyone should be served together!!! It's not fun eating ALONE!!! THIS PLACE HAS POTENTIAL!!! THE food is not bad!! They could serve REAL CRAB NOT FAKE!!! Mussels pretty good! Gator tail decent! Onion rings, terrible, should make homemade one's! They REALLY could be A great Seafood boil place and we REALLY NEED A GOOD ONE in the area!!! Just CLEAN UP!!!

Tried the combo A and B- both of them were delicious. The taste of Jambalaya, Onion Rings was not up to the mark. Loved the fried scallops. The ambiance was pretty amazing, and the staff were well-mannered. Overall its a good place for sea food lovers!
