   Service was very slow… took 15-20 min for them to even take our order, thirty minutes for our first round of crab legs to come out (ayce). Water was refilled inconsistently (towards the end we all sat with empty glasses even after asking for water, had to ask twice). The waitress brought the wrong sides to the orders: we asked for 3 potatoes and 1 fry. Waitress comes back with broccoli and potatoes, I tell her the correct order, then she blames me saying “I said it was all potatoes”. What? Noted it was my birthday on the reservation & waiter was told it was my birthday but didn’t get the birthday dessert like the other tables around me had gotten. When we tell her we’re all done, and the entire table was clear the waitress comes back and coyly asks us “Wanna order more crabs?”Crab legs were very yummy, best part of the experience. Service was terrible and doesn’t help that the management was in no way helping.

   The food was terrific. We enjoyed the boil in a bag meals and the raw oysters. Delicious.

   We had an amazing experience on Thanksgiving. We are huge seafood people who are normally picky and say to only eat it from the coasts. However, the food was so fresh. The oysters were some of the meatiest ones I’ve ever ate before and they were full of flavorful filling. We split the 2 pounds of jumbo king crab legs and added a steak to split also. Everything was cooked exactly how ordered. I do wish they gave you scissors to cut your king crab with instead of just a shucker since those shells can be a lot harder to handle on the joints and knuckles

   We recently visited King Crab House and had an amazing experience! The ambiance is lively and welcoming, with a perfect blend of casual and elegant decor. The service was exceptional – our server was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was outstanding! We tried the crab legs, and they were fresh, succulent, and cooked to perfection. The garlic butter crab legs and spicy Cajun butter crab legs were a hit. We also tried the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and delicious. The cocktails were impressive as well. Overall, King Crab House is a must-visit for seafood lovers. The quality, service, and atmosphere make it a top choice for any occasion. I'll definitely be coming back!

    We made a reservation for 2 to celebrate a special birthday. It’s been a few years since visiting KCH and especially now that they are are back home on Halstead street, with the backyard patio. We arrived early for our reservation, but we were immediately accomodated. The food and atmosphere was great - everyone was laughing and having a good time.
