Where to get all you can eat Alaskan king crab legs
 
Super lame thread here.
My wifes birthday is 3/18. Her favorite meal in the world is Alaskan king crab legs.
There is a restaurant outside of Williamsburg VA that has a buffet with all you can eat AKC legs. Is there a place even as far away as Ocala (not going to Tampa or Orlando) that has an all you can eat buffet of these things. I feel I should say in my wifes defense that she is not 300lbs, just loves this when we can find it. Thank you, Bud

You can buy Alaskan king crab legs at Sam's Club, but the only crabs legs available in nearby restaurants are "snow" crab legs. These come in clusters and they are smaller than king crab legs. I have never seen king crab legs in a nearby restaurant.

The seafood buffets once in a great while will have King, with a limit brought to the table, and a hefty surcharge

If you were willing to to relax your constraints and go to Orlando you can definitely get Alaskan king crab legs. But expensive of course and not all you can eat. The menus I looked listing the price as “market price”.

Orlando is not that far. I drive there almost every day.

In The Villages, this is considered anorexic.

Has two nice seafood restaurants. Both are good, but not all you can eat.

Why not just buy a 2-pound bag at Sam's Club? They come cooked and frozen. You just thaw them and eat them. I think that the crab legs you get in a restaurant will be the same product imported from Alaska.

Lighthouse has all you can eat snow crab on Thursdays but haven’t seen anyone offer King Crab as all you can eat.

Alaskan king crab legs
 
The best I’ve ever had was in Chicago at the Drake hotel Cape Cod room. The next place would be in Sunset Beach California. I love them too. I might just have to go to Alaska to get them.

Yes, there are restaurants in Sunset Beach, California, that serve Alaskan King Crab. One notable option is Captain Jack's Restaurant, located at 16812 Pacific Coast Hwy, Sunset Beach, CA 90742. While it’s a well-known spot in the area for seafood, it’s particularly famous for its Alaskan King Crab legs, often highlighted by diners for their size, freshness, and flavor. Reviews consistently praise the crab as a standout dish, served steamed with clarified butter, making it a popular choice for seafood lovers.

Another nearby option is J King Neptune’s, also located in Sunset Beach at 17101 Pacific Coast Hwy, CA 90742. This family-owned restaurant emphasizes fresh seafood and includes Alaskan King Crab, often served with classic American sides like soup or salad, fresh bread, and steamed vegetables. It’s been a local staple for over 50 years, and its crab is a highlight for many visitors.
