A little off beaten path but less than 10 minute drive from Gold Coast. Free street parking. Oysters, escargot and king crabs were excellent. Would have liked legs cut but owner came to our table and cracked them for us. Still would have preferred a scissors to cut legs, or have this done in kitchen. Very surprised how few tables were occupied on Saturday night. Enjoyed the music and even danced as no one was around us. Owner compped desert after learning it was our first date. Place reminded me of Bob Chins, only much less crowded. Prices we're certainly less than Shaw's or Nicks or Hugo Frog. This place needs business and now is the time to check it out!

Don't know if it was due to being early - or that it was halloween - or that it was raining - but this place was really quiet; fine was we were having a long overdue catching up conversation and the volume was delightfully low. but relocated "king crab" - always a good meal on north halsted - could use more business on north milwaukee. GO and check them out! oddles of specials!

Our grandson, age 12, wanted crab legs. It was our wedding anniversary so we decided to indulge him. I ordered lobster. The first one was wrong. The second, cooked correctly, was covered in butter - I don't like butter with lobster. The service was okay. The waitperson was very polite. The place is dark and dingy - romantic? Parking is tough. We still had fun!

The ambiance and decor really need help but I have to say they made up for that in the service and food. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food and drinks was great. The portion sizes was more than filling.

I have been going to King Crab for twenty years. I was sad for the close on Halstead but very happy where they relocated. Great outdoor space for some great summer evenings. Food lived up to their reputation had a sampling of almost everything! However both times service has been on the slow side with few customers in the place. We actually would have ordered more if the waitress would have made an appearance other than delivering food. Actually had to ask the owner for a glass of wine? I will return there an hope for a better server next time.
