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 .

i usually always order from king crab & i usually have no issues but this past time, i had a long piece of hair in my seafood boil entangled in the crab leg, & when i told the manager he blamed me & tried to say that i was lying when i literally have no reason to lie i always purchase from king crab so to say that i lied is very hurtful. my hair isnt even the same color or texture as the hair in the seafood boil bag. the manager tried to tell me i put hair in my own food, as if i would want to ruin my own dinner. very discouraging & they have lost a valuable customer. i will never purchase from this restaurant again, they didn’t even apologize for getting hair in my food instead i was accused of lying & offered a small percentage of money off my next seafood boil as if that makes up for over $100 spent that went right down the drain because i no longer wanted to eat the seafood with hair being in it.

If I could give this place 10 Stars I would so far this is my most favorite new restaurant. Very very clean friendly staff hot and fast service. It was my first time there I had gotten the shrimp and crab cluster with garlic butter and Cajun. I ordered it medium it was slightly kicky at first but very very delicious. They give you a bib and two gloves I ditched the gloves but kept my bib three potatoes are included and one corn on the cob everything was cooked to perfection this Little Piggy ate all her food also ordered the hush puppies to share between two people absolutely delicious. The picture below does not do it any justice.
