The Seafood King Bessemer

While the aesthetics were not 5 star- we were pleasantly surprised by the seafood boil. They supply a trash bucket to dispose of shells, napkins etc. They provide a bib, gloves and wet wipes. The food was hot and fresh and had great flavor. There was sufficient parking as well and our waitress was fantastic.

Everything on menu is fresh. They have the most amazing bar tender Niki who can make a drink to fit anyones taste. All the servers are super nice and helpful. You will think you are at the beach the food is so fresh. A must try. Ask for Niki she will take care of you.

I don't know if this is just a one off bad experience, but this was by far the worst seafood I have had in a while. The fried oysters were cooked perfectly, as well as the calamari, but the oil had an almost rancid taste to it. I'm going to give them another chance because the staff was awesome. Hopefully they will prove their food can match their service!

Finally a local seafood restaurant that was totally worth the time money we spent . . The low country boil seafood bags are wonderful. Everything is cooked in a bag, seasoned to perfection brought out to the table in the bag. I had the Alaskan King Crab boiled shrimp with potatoes corn 1/2 dozen raw oysters... At that time the market price for the Alaskan King Crab was $60 per pound. A little expensive but so very worth it, if you really enjoy crab legs.

Food was fresh, tasty and spiced just as we asked. Service was great! Only down side was the lighting in the restaurant--it made everything look pink. It didn't affect the taste of the food, however. ????
