What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
King Seafood is lauded for its consistently delicious and well-seasoned fried seafood, particularly the flounder and shrimp, often served with waffle fries. While the focus is on takeout and drive-thru, customers appreciate the friendly service and affordable prices. Some note that the coleslaw can be heavy on mayonnaise and the restaurant's unassuming appearance belies its quality.
"Awesome as always!! I enjoyed my food which was cooked right & worth every cent 😂. I just really wish King Seafood would re-open, it tends to get EXTREMELY crammed in for others when they are told to park ahead or next to each other!! Lately, they are starting to get orders out a bit quicker. They're still only doing drive-thru. Today, I ordered my usual: The Flounder plate & 6 oysters..the new cashier that wrung up my order was very nice & got my order right in 1 go! 💕 It!!"

"Don't let the size or the area fool you, the shrimp cocktail was on point. One of the best places in CC that I've had in my opinion. Love how they added fresh chopped jalapeño on the side so I could spice it up to my liking. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this establishment. Plan to return in the near future as a regular when I'm craving a SC. Also, I tried their hot sauce for the first time and maaaaannnnnn they need to sell that in stores!!!! Freaking A1!!!! We plan to ask if they sell it by the bottle lol. Must ask about it if you like spicy stuff."

"I used to eat here regularly when I was working in Corpus years ago. I was pleased to see they were still around and tased just the way I remembered. I have always gotten the shrimp plate with fries, and it didn't disappoint. They also have the same tarter sauce that goes grate with seafood and fries..."
