OK, I know Joe's Crab Shack in Old Sac is pretty good, but I don't always want to drive that far. Where are the best crab legs in Folsom? Heck, best or not, who serves crab legs in Folsom? I know I had Snow Crab Legs at Land Ocean, but they no longer list them on the menu.
Rudy's hideaway only lists Lobster, no crab legs.

You could call Sergio's and ask. Check out the video at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, but I already looked at their menu and the only crab I found is stuffed into Canneloni shells served with cream sauce. I'm not interested in crab meat in a pasta dish, I want crab legs & claws or whole crab. I want to have to work for the meat and not have it smothered in some sauce that overpowers the flavor of fresh crab.

They also have a good cioppino in which you would find an abundance of legs & claws, but it sounds like you want crab only.

There is always Cattlemen's in Rancho. I'm not sure about the quality of the crab legs, though.

Land Ocean's crab is gone!? Man, that's too bad

Chinese restaurants usually have crab at this time of year, and you can order them prepared a number of different ways.

Ginger and green onion style, or salt and pepper would be my choices.

Try T2 Yan.

Check out Whole Foods, they might have some.

You're right cioppino is not what I want (besides, I hate mussels).

I hadn't thought of Cattlemens. I checked their menu, they only list King Crab legs under the beef & reef section meaning you have to buy a steak as well (same goes for Lobster tail as well). In the seafood section, they only have fish & shrimp offered. I may keep them in mind but I really wish they would offer the crab & lobster under the seafood & chicken section of the menu.

And I know someone might say, "ask if you can get them served alone." I have a problem with ordering "off menu", I get worried that one, price might not be what I expected, & two, what will the chef do if he takes it personally that what is on the menu isn't good enough for me, will he decide to spit on my plate or something else even more disgusting.

Um, I'm looking for a restaurant, not a grocery store, thanks anyway.

If you have concerns about ordering off menu, call ahead and ask your questions. Tell them you can't have beef, so you don't want the surf & turf and ask if it would be possible to order crab only and what it would cost. I'm sure you'll get the info you'd need.

Have you tried Fins? There's one on Madison (near Kenneth, I believe) and one in Sac on Fair Oaks. http://finsmarket.com/Fins_Menu.php

One at Sierra College and Douglas too!

Doesn't Outback do sides of King Crab Legs too?

That's good to know! I had no idea they opened another location.

I thought so, too, but I couldn't find it on their menu unless it's a special.
There's always Red Lobster on Sunrise. They have steamed snow crab legs. I haven't been there in over ten years because of a bad food experience.

I had no idea there was a Fins in Roseville, either. Thanks, Amethyst:)

I can't very well ask, "if I order "off menu", will your chef spit on my plate?"

but thanks for the Fins suggestion, never ate at Fins, I'll have to give them a try.

Silly you. If you call ahead of time to inquire, you will get a good idea as to whether they welcome accommodations or if they are begrudgingly saying they'll do it. Most restaurants are very accommodating and welcome your business. Calling ahead of time would also let you know what the price would be so you'll know what to expect.
