The Seafood King Bessemer: Your Premier Destination for Fresh Seafood in Alabama

The food was very good. The service was horrible. We had to wave down the waiter for everything we needed. They never came to check on us. They added a $30 gratuity or they wouldn't have gotten much more than $10.

If you’re craving fresh seafood, generous portions, and unbeatable flavor, look no further than The Seafood King in Bessemer. I had an amazing experience from the moment I walked in. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot and fast. I ordered the seafood boil with crab legs, shrimp, corn, and potatoes — everything was seasoned to perfection. The buttery garlic sauce had the perfect amount of spice and flavor, soaking into every bite without being overwhelming. The crab legs cracked easily and were packed with sweet, tender meat. Even the corn and potatoes were full of flavor. The portion sizes were huge, especially for the price — definitely worth every penny. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that made it easy to enjoy the meal. Whether you’re local or just passing through, The Seafood King Bessemer is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers. I’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place out for awhile now and couldn't but were finally able to tonight. Im picky and certain things I can't eat but this place ranks way way way up there with Red Lobster to me, without the price. Better than even a couple of my other favorites like shrimp basket and shark's. The food was cooked perfectly, hot and fresh, tasted delicious and our drinks and server were awesome. We can't wait to go again. I promise you it's so worth a try!!!

Great seafood and I love the frog legs here! I try and stop by every week it’s so good. The staff are quick and the kitchen has never let me down.

Food not as flavored as I expected despite the kings seasoning. Ordered a lemon drop that was delicious and made the experience better. Establishment needs music or some form of entertainment. Eating and Drinking in Silence is a mood depressant

We had a new waitress a very young lady and she was so attentive to every need we had during our first time at the restaurant. Courtney was her name!!!! GIVE THIS BABY A RAISE....... On the first visit we had the $55 bag and the 1 snow cluster bag... DELISH The second time it was my hubbys 59th birthday & he had the fried shrimp twice and I stuck with the 1snow crab bag because I #LOVEGARLIC, the butter garlic was the bomb .... Courtney good luck on your new job, best wishes to you baby Girl and awesome customer service!!!!!

Traveling through and stopped to pick up dinner and this place did not disappoint! The shrimp boil was juicy fat shrimp with perfect Cajun flavors! Hubby had Fried Catfish and shrimp and sweet potato fries as well as hush puppies and they were tasty and fresh and again delicious! Definitely our favorite meal of the day! The bartender was kind and accommodating! Can't wait to pass through again! Til next time ooh ooh weeee! THE PRICES WERE FANTASTIC!!! $10 for my 1/2 pound shrimp, potato and corn......thats unheard of!!!

Ordered 2 combos 1. shrimp and catfish with onion rings and 2 shrimp and calamari with sweet potato fries. Also, hush puppies and 2 sweet teas. Our food was so greasy and no seasoning. We complained to our waiter Devon, who was professional and understanding. He talked to his manager and said he could give us 10% off. I asked him if I could speak to the manager. He would not come out to speak with me. I gave the waiter 5 stars because he tried to resolve our complaint. He was polite and respectful. 1 star for food and manager wouldn’t face his customers. I wanted him to see the food and ask him would he eat it. This was my first and last time going to Seafood King. We were traveling and decided to stop. We always share with our family and friends about good and bad food. I definitely would not recommend this place!
