Reviews for The Seafood King in Birmingham, AL
Pretty good. I'm dinging a star because i was biased since i haven't had southern catfish in a decade, while my tablemates said... theirs was a little too much like the water they came from. I could see where they thought so as well. The service was great,the food served hot, with a substantial amount, at reasonable prices. You could do better, but you could do a helluva lot worse.

Oh my goodness, everything there was so delicious. Things were a little pricey but you get what you pay for when it comes to... good seafood. I had the Dungeness Crab, Shrimp and a dozen raw oysters from Virginia. Being from Alabama we love the Gulfoysters but only in November - February. Gotta have cold water oysters. My daughter and my grandson also tried oysters.Unfortunately my grandson did not like the texture. It was his first time and probably his last. LOL. I can't say enough aboutthe food and service. The music was a little loud for my case but it was good music. It was music from the '80s which is in myopinion some of the best music made. But that was a long time ago. The bartender Cookie, she was amazing. Not only was she verypleasant to talk with she also let me try some chicken wings. The wings were cooked perfectly. They were deep fried and crispynot soggy and chewy. Nothing disgusts me more than a mushy chicken wing. The Dungeness crab was so sweet and came out of theshell so easily. You could tell whoever was working the kitchen knew exactly how long to drop the seafood for. Oh my goodness sotiny red potatoes were delicious. They soaked up all of that Cajun butter and garlic and it was fantastic. They gave us bibs andgloves but who needs that when you got napkins and a hand to rip those delicious Crab legs apart. When I say it was pricey whatI really mean is that expect to pay for good food. You can go to any seafood restaurant and spend $200 with your family but didthey all enjoy it. What's the seafood cook correctly? Well you need to trust me when I tell you seafood King is the bomb. Fivestars all the way. Read more
I highly recommend the shrimp with potato and corn. I got the king's seasoning. I got mild. I would like to try the medium heat.... My daughter got the same thing. If you are a big eater I would go with the full pound. My daughter and I got the half pound. Shecouldn't finish hers, so it evened out for me. I was a little hungry still after the half pound. My wife got four fish filets.They were good. The seasoning could use a little salt but I would rather add salt cause you can't take it off. Patrick was ourwaiter. He was super nice. I really appreciated his service. Read more
