I recently dined at The King Crab Shack with my mother and youngest son, and I must say my experience was a mix of excitement and surprise. I had been eagerly anticipating a delicious crab boil, and I chose to create my own with The House seasoning (lemon butter and Cajun mix) at medium spice. We also tried the fried seafood platter, shrimp egg rolls, and chicken tenders.
First and foremost, the food arrived fresh and piping hot, which was impressive. My son’s chicken tenders were quite standard for a seafood place, and the fries, although I’m not a fan of the double-crush style, were decent and my son enjoyed them.
The fried seafood platter, featuring oysters, calamari, shrimp, and fish, was fried to perfection. I wasn’t particularly fond of the oysters, but I’d consider substituting them if I return. As for the shrimp egg rolls, they tasted somewhat like store-bought frozen egg rolls, which was disappointing given my hopes for a richer Vietnamese flavor profile.
Now, let’s talk about the seafood boil. This is where my expectations fell short. While it was certainly edible and I managed to finish it, the flavor profile was more Asian than Cajun, reminiscent of a spicy bam bam sauce. It didn’t align with what I had in mind for a traditional crab boil.
Overall, The King Crab Shack offered fresh and hot seafood, with highlights being the perfectly fried seafood platter. However, the flavor profile of the seafood boil may not match traditional expectations. If you’re in the mood for Asian-inspired seafood, it could still be worth a visit, but it might not satisfy those craving a classic Cajun crab boil.

The outside appearance isn’t screaming how good this food is, but man was it soooo good! Recently visited over 4/19/24 and man let me tell you it was such a pleasant surprise! The tables have paper over them because it’s best feature is their seafood boil combos!!! Delicious but messy! If you love seafood boils this is the place to go! Several sauce selection but I recommend the house sauce and you’ll be sad that you can’t buy a bottle and take home!(yes I asked lol) so much food I shared mine with one of our friends but man if I lived here I would go at least once a month maybe twice! Service was excellent and fun, food delicious, very clean bathrooms! Whenever I’m in Milwaukee this is going to be a stop I have to make again!! Didn’t think to take photo of food until half way gone these photos are a little less than half of a seafood boil combo… many other options but this was my “half” and YUM!

Thought we’d try out the King Crab Shack compared to the seafood boil downtown and the one in Brown Deer. Walking in they really fixed up the place from the old Perkins so I was pleased to see that. Lots of fun nautical theme items. They had live lobster in the tank on the way in too. We were seated after a couple of minutes. The receptionist was on the phone with a customer. They had Styrofoam plates, plastic cups, but real utensils. We got two boils, one was a shrimp without the heads and the other was crawfish. I threw in some sausage and my wife got some broccoli with hers. Everything came out quick and was really good. I didn’t add any extra spice. I went mild on the shrimp, but my wife went medium on her crawfish. I did the lemon pepper and my wife did Cajun with the Crawfish, of course. I got a beer my wife got water. The shrimp with the heads off was rather reasonable for a pound and so was the crawfish. Some of their combos though I question what the value. Service was a bit lacking in that they never came back to ask how things were or refill the water. Rest of the place was nicely fixed up including the bathrooms. I’ll definitely be back for some good Cajun and shrimp boil. They also had Vietnamese on the menu which I’ll also be interested in trying next time I visit.

My original go to place was so packed and I didn’t feel like waiting with my kids. So I came here. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but hey I have to be honest. I did not enjoy this food . The shrimp had no shell on it. The shell captures the flavor of the sauce! Speaking of sauce.. I got the house blend or whatever it is called… Sweet. Very sweet. I’m not sure why it’s sweet but I’m not use to that taste for a boil at all. I ordered a lobster tail… Y’all, when I say the SHELL was bigger than the meat..I was so upset. It’s like they overcooked it or something. My mussels were huge and tough. I believe everything was over cooked. Idk. I won’t be back. Sorry.

I have had my share of seafood boils and when I say this is possibly one of the worse sauces I have ever tasted. The base of seafood boil to me is butter. This sauce has an orange cream tint that tastes very vinegary, that leaves an unpleasant acidic taste on your tongue. The seafood itself was cooked perfectly and you can tell it’s fresh and decently picked. I was upset by the sauce and the lack of any seasoning which I find is hard to do with “sauce”. The service was standard nothing above or beyond, everyone is just walking around with phones in hand. Overall the atmosphere is average seafood spot but it is very clean I can say that. Please reinvent the sauce it will make this business boom!!!

The house fried rice was some of the best fried rice I’ve had in my life. Didn’t think to take a pic until it was all gone. The portions are generous. Not sure why so many had a bad experience/food. Snow crab was cooked perfectly.
