King crab legs!

Question

Only in FL for a few hours off a ship and I want the place that serves the best giant Alaskan crab legs for lunch! Thanks

Answer

If you only have a few hours in Fort Lauderdale and want to enjoy giant Alaskan king crab legs, you’ll want a place that’s convenient to the port yet serves high-quality seafood. Fort Lauderdale has several standout options for crab lovers:

Wild Sea Oyster Bar & Grille – Located near the Fort Lauderdale waterfront, this spot is well-known for fresh seafood, including king crab legs, and offers a casual, comfortable dining atmosphere perfect for a quick stop.
Sea Watch on the Ocean – Although a bit farther north on the beach, it’s a classic seafood restaurant with excellent reviews for crab legs and fresh catches. Great for a scenic ocean view while dining.
Kelly’s Landing – A seafood-focused spot right on the Intracoastal Waterway; they serve generous portions of king crab legs and have a relaxed, no-fuss vibe.

Other considerations for a quick but memorable crab lunch:

Call ahead if possible, as Alaskan king crab legs can sell out or require advance notice for larger portions.
Uber or taxi from the cruise port is typically faster than driving and parking, saving valuable time.
If you’re short on time, focus on restaurants near the port or along Las Olas Boulevard, which are convenient and have several seafood options.

With only a few hours, prioritize a place that balances quality with proximity. Wild Sea Oyster Bar & Grille or Kelly’s Landing are excellent choices for fresh, giant Alaskan king crab legs without straying too far from your ship.
