Krab Queenz

I came into Krab Queenz on a Sunday around 4PM with my reality TV friend, who hyped it up from a past visit—raving about how good the food was and how great the staff treated them. Naturally, expectations were high. I originally had my eye (and stomach) set on the shrimp and waffles, but after a 15-minute wait just to get to the counter (when we were the only ones there), I was told they couldn’t make waffles today. No explanation, just a quick “nope” and the employee disappeared to the back again. I waited a bit longer giving him the benefit of the doubt- maybe he was the only scheduled employee for the day- and finally pivoted to a shrimp po’ boy—only to be told it would be a 45-minute wait. A bit stunned, I settled for shrimp and fries instead, asking for them extra crispy. The total? $75. And then I was hit with a 30-minute wait for that. Already irritated, I honestly should’ve just stuck with the po’ boy. We tried to kill time at Ralph’s with some ice cream, thinking we’d be back just in time to grab our food. Nope. Came back after 45 minutes, waited 5 more minutes at the counter, and were then told it would be another 10 minutes. Nearly an hour later, food finally in hand, I was praying it was worth it. Now for the good news: the gumbo? Absolutely phenomenal. Truly lives up to its name—“The Best Damn Gumbo” is no exaggeration. It was flavorful, soulful, and exactly what you’d want. The shrimp and fries, however? First bite of the fries and I thought I accidentally ordered mashed potatoes in stick form. Into the air fryer they went. Once revived, both the shrimp and fries were solid—great flavor, just completely let down by the wait and lack of crispiness. Final thoughts: This place clearly can deliver amazing food, but the disorganization and long wait times just killed the vibe. I want to believe this was an off day. I’m rooting for a redemption arc, but unfortunately, today was a letdown.

My granddaughter came into town and wanted to take me out to dinner. This restaurant is in my neighborhood and I pass it all the time and had been wondering what the menu was, would you believe she ( not knowing my interest), stated she and her wife wanted to take me there, I was so excited to go, unfortunately we were so disappointed with the service, the menu presentation and the food. The shrimp and fries were so bad, I will continue to PASS, their location and their food, it was more than unsatisfactory, it was just very bad and pricey. I hope they do better as I would love to support them, especially since they are in my neighborhood.

Amazing food! Came on a Sunday after a wild mad search for seafood boil and discovered this absolute gem! Shout out to Myren for a fantastic meal, will definitely make it a usual spot.

Horrible. Not what it used to be years ago I don’t know why they reopened with less effort. Employees are rude and ghetto waste your money if you want to. And yes the food is nasty cold lacks flavor they will not fix your order if there’s an issue, fries were cold the female employee literally ate some of my PAID for fries and say “no it seems fine to me” disrespectful unprofessional behavior.

Been passing by this place wanting to try it so I stopped by today. They weren’t crowded but I saw a few people going in and out so I’m like ok! I ordered my Food paid for it and I’m sitting there looking around waiting when I see that the restaurant has a grade C Which is on the counter hiding behind a box. There’s also a no refund sign up on the wall in full display. So now I’m sad and upset..I get my food which was the two pieces of corn, two boiled sausage, two eggs and potatoes. I think it was called the queens Fixins or something like that. Now I’m trying to figure out what’s going on back there to where you guys earned a C. So I pray over it and go in slowly… It wasn’t tasty at all and I had no desire to finish it. I’m mad I spent my $21 and I pray to the Good Lord that I don’t get sick. If I do I’ll be back to let y’all know. That C should be place in the window or on the wall where people can see it before they order.

My gf brought me here randomly. I had the shrimp PoBoy which was fine. My gf had the boil shrimp corn potatoes etc. The atmosphere was what you would expect from a mom and pop store. Just really wish they could do something with all the flies they had flying around. The young lady at the front was extremely nice and helpful.

Great place of fresh seafood, and they accept EBT, win win if you ask me!!! The shrimp was deliciously fresh and crispy and so were the french fries equally fresh and crispy. Along with that delicious side of spread went well with the dish.

I was super excited about coming today for Mother’s Day and was extremely disappointed. The cashier was very standoffish. They were out of everything- ketchup, ranch dressing, salad, corn, everything. There were also flies flying around so I eventually just went and ate in my car. I came such a long way for nothing. The fish was over fried, the fried shrimp had barely any breading as if he didn’t coat it all the way, and the fries were mid- half seasoned and warm not hot. I really hope they turn this place back to how it was when they first opened. I won’t be coming back.

My gf and I could not wait to visit this spot! She Got the Hot flavor and I got the mild for our seafood boil. She mentioned that the sauce was not hot :(. Me on the other hand, I cant do spicy, so I got mild but it was still too spicy for me. The seafood had some good taste behind it though. Everything was served cooked to order, hot and fresh and I wish i could've enjoyed it more without my mouth burning. The service was great, very patient and attentive. The inside of the place is nice as well, the walls are decorated with other good reviews so I loved seeing that and reading them as I was eating my food. For two boils we paid about $80. Overall, the seafood wasn't the easiest to enjoy being that it was too spicy for my liking but I would be willing to come back and give it a try getting a different sauce!

We drive 2 & a half hours to eat here ! Hands down the best seafood spot. The service was great. Myron had great customer service & great suggestions, we greatly appreciate it & we will be back !

They can improve with the customer service, communication and preparation time. I prefer the one in watts due to the quality and time. I went to watts and recent food in 10 minutes. Every time I go to krabs queens in Inglewood it's a long wait time for my order. Got to do better

No flavor, rude customer service, and wayyyy to expensive. I had high hopes till i walked in

The ambiance was kinda empty feeling not a lot of chairs and tables so I got the everyone carried out vibe. Looked pretty clean and the woman behind the counter was helpful. It they are very very over priced. I was disappointed I didn't feel like it was very flavorful more butter than anything. I can't do peeling the shrimp and having no flavor inside. They were a bit over cooked as was the crab making it hard to remove. The gumbo was good but again grossly overpriced for the amount. I'm sorry but I won't be returning. I wanted to like this place and it's so close to home smh.

The place have a loud music playing. Not much people inside the restaurant but our order come up in a slow mo. It would be wonderful is the food is not drench in salt instead you can add it according to your palate. When we asked if they have a cup of water we'll guess what they don't offer but instead the cashier reply with please buy any of the many drinks they offer. It would be nice if there is also a box of napkins on each table because one cannot avoid using their hands. The fries is cook thicker and not salty. The beignet not a fan of it still have time to improve.

So I can't give a review on the food because due to the customer service and their lack of a working CC (credit card machine), I couldn't order their food. The lady behind the counter was dismissive and I lost all interest in getting money from an ATM and ordering food from here. I may have saved myself a headache as they were totally empty on a Saturday afternoon.

Wasn't this Kway's business downtown LA? I'm wondering because I ate at krab queenz before. The food was above average food, it was tasty no complaints, but I see they moved to Inglewood. I give them 4 stars for bringing seafood to the table. My fav dish is the fried catfish fried shrimp. Yummmm.

Nasty taste like salt but they do take bet wish is good but I felt my ankles swell immediately

Disgusting place, disgusting food and terrible customer service when I visited last month and two employees were arguing in front while I was line.. I know we in Inglewood but come on unprofessional! Next they barely have or don't have at all most of the stuff they advertise on their website or menu please remove it if you don't have it. Shrimp has poop in the tails so they don't clean it I'm convinced whoever runs KRAB QUEENZ has no clue how to truly run an establishment just money hungry overcharge for everything missing things I saw roaches dead in the hallway to the bath room I don't necessarily blame the workers I blame whoever owns this place! Do better or get hell out of here sad experience never again.

Food is regular only thing good is the corn. The flavors are non season. Straight garbage flavors. Service wasn't bad. The place looks great. I won't be back. I can do better on them flavors

I had to give a star. This place is a joke and a big rip off. How the hell did they get a "A" from the health department. Probably a photo copy. There was water on the floor, in the back leading to the restrooms. The food is over priced. The fish doesn't even taste like catfish, and it was over cooked with too much batter. The fried crab is overcooked as well. Why ‍ would you fry a crab shell? Will not return. It was a "Waste" of time and money. I don't recommend eating here. Save your money and go elsewhere!!!! This place needs to be reported to the health department. Plain and simple!!!!

This is very unfortunate because the food is decent, but I've never experienced such horrific customer service. I love seafood, but no amount of delicious food will allow me to tolerate the disrespect from this place of business. The server was very rude and seemed as though he didn't want to take the order. I also witnessed how he would answer the phone, become irritated quickly, and then gossip about the incoming callers after getting off the phone. He even said, "I don't care if we are on DoorDash, I'm not taking any orders from them." I don't think he is the owner, but whoever is the owner, please do yourself a favor and provide training for this young man. If not, he will soon bring down your business due to his poor customer service and communication skills. It is a disgrace. There are places to eat in that particular area that serve delicious seafood as well, and on top of it, you have an amazing experience based on their customer service. Good luck, Krab Queez owner of your Inglewood location. (Shaking my head)

I had a horrible experience here the food looked nothing like the picture advertised.I asked cashier for the meal on the picture which had crab shrimp and fries I was told to wait 25 minutes I came back and got a plate with 3 small crab legs and fries no shrimp I complained and was told to wait longer for shrimp I waited then was told I needed to pay more for the shrimp.I was so upset with the customer service I let them keep the 28 dollars I was overcharged and left that plate on there table and I can't forget to add there were flies flying everywhere in the establishment I will never go here again and I'm warning people because I'm certain you may experience a similar situation.

The food and service was excellent. I love the Poboy sandwiches the best. All the food is good and the service is good too and it's a plus that they take EBT.

Ive been waiting for Krab Queens to open so of course I came to the grand opening. What we ordered- Shrimp po-boy (8inch) - $14.99 Colossal crab leg platter with Cajun butter - so good, comes with potatoes, 1 sausage link, 1 piece of corn and 1 egg. Mixed daiquiri - good. daiquiris were not $2 like the Instagram post said - (FYI they do not have liquor right now and jugs were not available today) Ambience: Nice decor. A lot of hustle and bustle (first day). About 10 tables. Plenty of employees to take orders and assist. They have balls hanging from the ceiling that really don't fit with the decor and are in the way of the menu board but other than that they did a good job in my opinion. Parking: Street parking on Crenshaw is limited there's also parking on 85th street. Unfortunately there's no parking lot. It was the first day and there was a long line which took a little long. I think they were having issues with the register and once they worked it out the line moved faster. Once I placed my order it came out fast. I don't think I waited 10 minutes. I did have a couple of issues. They didn't give me my po-boy and they gave me snow crab instead of colossal crab. They fixed my issue and I was on my way. They have a sign that says to check your order before leaving, otherwise they will not give you missing items. So I suggest you check your order at the counter because quite a bit of people were missing items. Two things are for sure. The food and drinks were good and I will be back. I've been to plenty of crab boil spots but I can say this one is topping them all. It was so worth the wait.

I got the shrimp Poboy w fries & it was a large portion for sure. The blue drink tasted artificial, but the waiter warned me that their best seller drink was out so don't have that expectation. Overall, the meal was good.

The manager is TOO good. Me and my homegirl went in and she gave us free gumbo with our crab meal. The music inside is banging inside and the food comes out FAST y'all. I will post definitely be back

amazing service, the manager there is great She treated me with respect and served me astonishing food. i love this place and will always keep coming

First Of Round Of Applause For The Staff Very Nice . A Manager Named Marcy Took My Order She Was Very Professional. Secondly I'd Like To Point Out How Clean & Organized The Business Was. Also To Mention How Easy It Was To Order Food & Receive Hot Fresh Food In A Timely Manner. The Food OMG The Food 10/10 Would Recommend, I Order The Seafood Platter & Loved It . Definitely Will Return!

The food is fire! I ordered wings (lemon pepper and honey garlic) they were nice and crispy and juicy in the inside. Flavor was on point. The potatoes with garlic butter were amazing as well. Everything was fresh. The staff are very friendly and professional. The manager is the best! The inside is very clean and well kept. Their customer service is great. My food was finished fast as well. Support black women owned business!

Slow in service , employees come from up the street in dirty sweats and baggy pants ,m walks right up the kitchen like it was nothing , it was good If they have standards , but idk barely a passing grade

I'll give it a 3 cause my good black sistas is running it but things aren't in order. I called before I went they told me no phone orders but other people was putting in and picking up phone orders while I was there ordering my food. the prices do not give. I got fried lobster tail it don't look like the picture they cut the tail up and gave me very small pieces for $30. I also got a $40 seafood boil and it was greasy not "garlic butter" anddd they gave me chicken sausage in the seafood boil like wtf ew. Idk it's just not giving. The slushies are top tier tho.

We went to this place for the first time today. First off the outside entrance was a mess, they could take the time to make sure that it's clean. The inside was clean and neat. There were tables to sit. The girl at the front counter was nice. So my friend ordered her food off of a menu that was on the counter. And she got her food for the price that was advertised on the menu. When I went to order my food off the same menu I was told that the prices have gone up and that wasn't the price. I thought this was a bit odd because my friend just ordered off of that menu. I asked what the price was. They told me that the prices are going up but the prices weren't advertised anywhere so I said, " so what is the price?" to which they could not tell me. I asked to speak to the manager because I was getting frustrated and the guy that was behind the counter next to the girl at the counter told me that he was a manager although he could not accommodate me. Because they couldn't get the price right I canceled my order. If the prices are not advertised you cannot tell somebody that the prices have gone up without something for them to see. We cannot just take your word for it. smh lol We were then told that the new prices where "supposed" to be up on the monitors mounted on the wall behind the counter. When I looked up they were off. They then attempted to turn them on but by then I had already heard and seen enough . I again asked him since he was a manager if he could give me the price that was advertised on the menu and he could not accommodate me. When we got home I tried my friends food and it was a tad bit salty. There was not enough sauce on the food. The shells on the shrimp once taken off all the seasoning went with it. The crab legs were soft which was unusual. For the amount that my friend was charged, We didn't think it was worth it at all and we will not be back.

Hello, while I've seen some good reviews and some bad, I had to try it for myself. What a waste of time, space, energy and wipes. YES I SAID WIPES! I'm sitting here right now with my family and we've been waiting in our for since 1245. Makes no since. We weren't greeted when we came in, the guy behind the counter was talking to someone about a TV series and didn't acknowledge us at all. The place smelled like seasoning from a few days ago and I was done. Mind you I love spending my Black Dollars but, I would rather have eaten at Rally's than be here. This was my family's choice, definitely not mine. My cousin ordered Gator and it was cold as it hit the table, that means the food was done but sitting. Nope! What's the purpose of seasoning the lobster tail, it's not to be eaten. They had, NO Lemons, NO Ice for the drinks (we had to go to the .99 store), NO dressing for the salad, the tables and chairs were dirty. Out of 6 of us, only 2 plates had been brought out. Im saddened to tell the truth.

Bomb honey Cajun is my favorite queen bag for me don't really care for seafood I love the favor tho

Slid in here on Accident, and the Food was Fire, plus you get a lot for your Bread... The seasoning is off the Hook... If you haven't already been by here then I recommend you stop By...

I recommend this place because the art on the walls is nice, the food is good, and the workers are nice. They have fried gator, fried crab, and so much more

I recommend this food place because the art on the walls and that food is so good for example they have fried gator, fried crab, and so much more I really recommend this place.

I'm sorry but they highly need an upgrade!!! Food need sum soul in it !! Fr!! not a good experience

The food was so good I gave them 5 stars but I wish I wish I could give them an infinity star. The food was so good I could barely hear anybody talk,I wish I could eat here every day, I wish my mom and my grandma could cook like that. I Usually be on my phone when I eat but It was so good I couldn't even think to get my phone, it was too good! And this is coming from a 10 year old kid!!

If I could leave no stars I would this was in my food I wanted to think about going back until I started feeling sick to my stomach and the worst part about it is tomorrow is a holiday and I'm sick to my stomach.

It's was bomb asf food was good! He stayed open passed closing to make sure we got our food!!! He just ain't open my food to check it and he missed out on my cluster

no. just no. they have to have their friends coming on here to write reviews because if you can't compensate with what you don't have for what you do have. what's the point of coming here? im asking for a meat substitute for a meat that they don't have but paying the same price? no. never coming here again. the flavors at this location were bland. we came here for my moms birthday & they didn't even have drinks. no water. no daiquiris like in the name... go to the Jack n the box next door.

Zero stars, hang it up. I thought it might have gotten better since the reviews were pretty old but it's worse than the oldest review smh.

They ran out of chicken and gumbo I still ordered food to support the busines. So since my 3 year old doesn't eat Krab boils I went next door to get him CHICKEN because they were out they proceed to tell me my 3 year old cannot eat his outside food in their restaurant which they are always out of chicken from another previous customer told me. They had flies soooooo how tf are you trying to be rude and have flies and not have chicken on a Sunday. Would not recommend to anyone go somewhere else.

I got the crab and shrimp platter, and it was simply AMAZING. Someone like myself, I am extremely skeptical about going to hole in the wall places like this, and instead, normally go to actual seafood boil spots, but this seafood was by far more juicier, flavourful, and more seasoned than any spot I've been too. Marcy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, making me the most perfect meal and pairing it with their delicious daiquiri. This place is now my go to spot when it comes to seafood, and the price is extremely reasonable and affordable. My opinion, I feel they should charge more, lol. The quality of everything was out of this world.

The food is absolutely amazing. The crab melts in your mouth and the fried rice is tasty too. I just wish they were open more!!

Dont have hot sauce including soda in the meal price but not having soda..a can soda at that like how hard is it to re up on can soda smh... food 6/10 everything else is terrible

First time I came the food was good, decent enough to eat but still thought it was over priced. Tried it again a month later with my boyfriend and both of our food has blue mold and fungus on our bread and the shrimp had poop left in the tail area. Super disappointed and grossed out really wanted to support my black community especially because they take EBT but after eating half my po boy and realizing my bread was moldy and covered with butter sauce to cover it is the final straw.

The cashier was very polite and recommended items but I'd say otherwise. The food was spicy and looked very appealing at first. I ordered 4 different dishes and one slushee, crawfish Mac and cheese, gumbo, fried lobster and switched the side for rice. And one kids plate. The kids loved the food. But the gumbo wasn't cooked thoroughly I could still see seasoning in the gumbo base it was very spicy and two tiny pieces of crab legs for 20 sadden me; the crawfish Mac tasted like box macaroni an with very little pieces of crawfish for 15.00. The yellow rice had too many onions not finely chopped. Also I have a mild case of food poisoning my stomach ‍ didn't agree with anything I ate from this restaurant so unfortunately it's two stars for me. And Im posting this 72 hours laters due to them being closed half the week.

Excellent Food!! The young lady working the front was really kind. She answered all our questions. We will be back again

Absolutely delicious! It was a big plate of food with lots of yummy potatoes, sausage, and big size hrimp. Super buttery and with just enough spice to make it taste even better. The seafood gumbo was also a winner, gravy sauce was incredibly delicious and flavorful. To end the meal we ordered the beignets which were also a big portion and size. Don't forget to try the daiquiri slushies which are also yummy and refreshing. Overall, the food is delicious, we will definitely come back for more.

Good food.. A lil salty for my taste buds but I still enjoy the crablegs with butter sauce.. I will definitely try something different next time

This was my review I left on their Facebook page.... And this was their response. After this they made another command tagged me in it, but when I went to read it they deleted the whole post....sad...... Twice I tried with them and twice they failed with poor food quality, too high prices and too long wait times to get wrong food....

My friends and I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday today, and quite honestly, I was disappointed. I believe this was the 2nd day of this restaurants grand opening, and there was nothing grand about it at all. First, they were slow. Second, they are overcharging customers, which is something I plan to make a complaint about it. I ordered a shrimp po' boy with fries, which is listed at $14.99 on the menu, but I was charged $16.99. When I asked the cashier about it, she gave me some lame excuse, saying the menu was old. If you are displaying one price, then that is what you should be charging until you update that menu. So, yes I will be filing a formal complaint with Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures. I doubt I am the only customer that has been overcharged since this restaurant opened. The design of the place is not good. They have huge lamps obstructing the view of the menu. You literally have to bend over and look under the lamps to see the menu. I don't know who's idea that was, but it is an epic fail. Lastly, this place does not take any accountability if they mess up your order. You are required to check your order before leaving because if you leave the restaurant and then later discover something is missing, they will not replace "missing items." They have a sign posted stating this. That is horrible customer service. As for the food, it was okay. I was not impressed. Anyway, I will not be coming back, and neither will my friends. This place needs to do better. There had been another location downtown that was absolutely amazing. This location does not compare.

I was very excited to try this restaurant. I was there today and was disappointed. I don't understand how the price rings up different from the price posted. How is the menu old if the restaurant just opened a few days ago. Another big concern is that I saw 2 people handling food with there long hair down. Nobody had their hair up or with a net. The food was a 3/10. The boiling crab and crab shack is way better. This place will probably be full because people are paying with ebt but don't let that fool you. Take you money elsewhere. The waffle were horrible. Wish I could get my money back

Not only did it take over 45 mins to have my food ready, they also forgot 3 items from my order... my waffles were raw and not edible..beignets were disappointing one look and i knew they would not be satisfying... hard as a rock!!!!!

NOT WORTH IT! Should have spent more time in the functionality of the place before opening. The door way is extremely small and there's one way in one way out. The seating seemed to be there for people to hang out while they wait for their food, but I believe you are welcome to dine in (can't confirm that entirely although people were eating inside). I went to the restaurant around 5p on a Friday and the wait in line was about 5 mins, but 50 mins that it took to receive my food then for my order to be wrong was absurd. The sauces are not appetizing in my opinion, I ordered the KQ boil bag and the Cajun butter in the bag was very watered down and extremely salty. The sweet heat had no flavor and the inferno flavor was just acceptable not something that paired well with seafood in my opinion. This place did not have a welcoming atmosphere. One thing that you'll notice while in line is a sign that says no refunds/exchanges etc. I had high hopes for this place but sadly I will not be back.
