I’ve been living in Indiana for almost 4 years and have had yet to try this place till now. Arrived around 5:30 by myself. Wasn’t crowded and food was ready fast. My bill was about 150$ for pound of kind crab legs that were extra meaty! Crawfish, potatoes, eggs, corn, and sausage. Was not disappointed, can’t wait to come back again! I don’t really drink but the Halloween drink specials look really good too!

What a cute spot! So lucky I found this place. Order two drinks so you can enjoy the bar menu ! Anytime in the day ,doesn’t have time limits. If you are a oyster lover you definitely should check it out !

Our visit here was quite nice! Our server and the manager were very warm and welcoming. The food was good. Our steak was cooked at the right temperature. My favorite thing on the plate was the red potatoes. They were seasoned with Lemon, garlic and just the perfect amount of spice. I would visit again.

The service was amazing. Took my wife here for her birthday and we were lucky to have a full booth to ourselves. Reservations were made but not needed. The food was AMAZING! My steak is always requested the same way and this is the first place that hit it right on the nail. My wife LOVED her crab legs and other dishes. Best calamari I’ve ever tried.

I’ve been coming here for 4 years now. And this place has been open for 30years. It’s an icon and any seafood lovers dream. Had the best meal last night. CY, the owner is so great. All the fish was fresh and trust me I tried it all. Their new Fall Specials are spectacular. Get that salmon and prawns platter. And spicy shrimp from bar specials. Great wine program too!

The value for what you receive is insane. The best impulsive date night spot. I love sitting at the bar and getting a couple dirty martinis and eating my fill of oysters and shrimp. Such a Chicago staple

The service was absolutely amazing from the kindness to how attentive everyone was. Food was really good as well. We enjoyed crab legs and more; will definitely return

Food incredible, fresh seafood and just delicious. Attention at the bar was awesome, the specials were great.

You know the food is good when the tartar sauce is yummy. I was able to take some of it home. Later, for a snack, I dipped my fruit in it. Best restaurant this year, for the Mr. and I!!! I'm glad we took an Uber. The lemon drop martinis were excellent. The food was fresh and scrumptious. The service was friendly, attentive, and cozy. Wish we'd known about King Crab House Chicago before my dad passed away. He would've loved it.

We haven't visited King Crab House Chicago in many years. Many years. Mostly because of the driver from the south suburbs. Today we decided to take a ride. Made reservations for noon. When we arrived the bar area was almost empty, so we decided to sit there. Initially we forgot to mention that we had reservations but my wife walked up to the host stand and advised (Jeff) who I believe was the manager that we made reservations. He thanks my wife because if you don't mention the reservation it posts as a no show and additionally they were pretty much full on reservation for the rest of the day so it was nice to know ours was freed up. Sitting at the bar is perfect for us. You can see the kitchen area at work, watch the oysters being shucked right in front of you and usually meet some really great people. In our experience it also allows you to see how the staff is working together. We were pretty amazed at the excellent interaction with the staff. They balanced well and checked on customers that were not always theirs. We had Erin as our server and she did a great job. After we arrived the restaurant started to fill up which meant Erin was moving back and fourth between the front and back and she did a great job of making sure she hit all of the necessary checks to make sure our experience was great. Sitting at the bar we also had a candid view of how Jeff handled the checking snd customer complaints. He really has a special gift of handling customers. We watched him balance a couple customers who did not have reservations (restaurant was reservation full) and do his best to accommodate them any way he could. His demeanor never changed from polite. If I owned a restaurant he would be a pleasure to have in that position. Let's talk about the food. Deals at the bar are really fair for Chicago establishments. Oysters less than a dollar each, peel and eat shrimp less than a dollar each. Several other bar seating deals. See attachment. Oysters shucked in front if you, can't get any fresher than that. Shrimp was cold and flavorful with an excellent cocktail sauce. Throw in some really good jalapeño poppers and you've got some great selections. Of course we couldn't lads up the regular specials. My wife had the steamed whole Maine lobster. 1 1/2 pounds. The lobster was presented cut in half with steamed red potato's. It might have been slightly over cooked because the tail meat was falling apart. The claw meat was excellent. I was really excited to have the soft shell crab. It's available in 2 or 4 piece dinner options. I chose the 4 piece of corse . They allowed me to have 2 sautéd and 2 blackened. I like them both. The blackened seasoning it strong on the delicate side crab. But the taste makes it acceptable. If I was just ordering 2, I'd go with sautéd. Service was excellent in an obvious full house environment. We'll definitely be making many more trips in the future. We feel Jeff and the staff have a good grasp on how to keep the patrons happy. -- with Lora K. Green Sheehy at King Crab House Chicago.
