The Seafood King Bessemer

I've eaten food from this restaurant several times, by pick up or delivery and the food is very good. So far my favorite items are the popcorn shrimp, crab legs and other steam bags, broccoli with the King special seasoning and the wings. The calamari and steamed shrimp are yummy also. I wish they had chargrilled oysters. I haven't had their steamed oysters yet but I may give it a try. The bartender is personable and funny. The restaurant needs updating, but overall the food makes up for that. As long as Seafood King, remains consistent they are 1000% better than that other restaurant Juicy Seafood next door. I went there recently and let's just say never again. Keep it up guys!

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.

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. Definitely fresh seafood... Well as fresh as one can get when the nearest ocean is 5 hours away. Our waiter was excellent, I can't remember his name but he was very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed & came back occasionally to check to see if we needed anything more. Since our first visit I have called in several orders for fried oysters & fried shrimp dinners to go and the food has been consistently good with each visit & the order has been ready when I got to the restaurant to pick it up... No wait time. Prices seem pretty fair. They do have a bar & a bartender that can do more than just open a bottle of beer, if mixed drinks are what you favor. I'm super excited that I don't have to wait until my next beach vacation to enjoy some decent seafood now.

1st time visiting here and i must say. Its the best seafood ive had in alabama. Our waitress was very friendly and polite. Kept checking kn us. And the food was amazing. Had boiled shrimp and fried cat fish basket and fried pickles
