There’s a Real-Life Krusty Krab Restaurant, Proving Childhood Is Forever

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Mich chapter.

When I was little, there was nothing I wanted more than to know what a Krabby Patty tasted like. Admit it, you did too. Well, pack your bags (and your parka) because we’re going to Russia to visit a replica of the Krusty Krab. Moscow’s Krusty Krab will make you feel like you’re in Bikini Bottom—minus the fact that you’re not underwater (shh, don’t ruin the dream). So, are you ready kids? 

The restaurant is nearly identical to the real Krusty Krab

Sure, the two restaurants aren’t completely identical, but you have to use your imagination (just like Spongebob taught you). Some similarities include the tables with steering wheels on them and the chairs that are crafted to look like barrels.

If that isn’t enough to satisfy your inner child, there’s a life-size Spongebob chillin’ on a boat in the replica Krusty Krab.  But, don’t ask him to drive you anywhere in it or Mrs. Puff will blow up. Plus, he might crash through the restaurant window, and that’s just not good for business. 

You can meet your favorite characters 

The characters can’t talk to you because they’re just statues, but hearing Spongebob’s laugh would get a little annoying anyway. Nonetheless, all of the characters make for an aesthetically pleasing environment. They’re also there specifically for cute Instagram pictures. (Well, the characters are actually there for the children, but if you take a picture or ten, I won’t tell.)

The dinner menu has everything you could ever dream of 

It wouldn’t be the Krusty Krab without a variety of Krabby Patties. The Krusty Krab has a burger with a black bun, and there are chicken burgers, which are more Bikini Bottom friendly than some of the other options on the menu. They serve shrimp and squid, which just doesn’t seem right. Who lives under the sea? Squidward.

The Krusty Krab also serves vegetarian options like pizza. Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me. The Krusty Krab has an endless amount of options, but if you don’t believe me, go eat there yourself. 

No meal would be complete without dessert 

The Krusty Krab replica is definitely outshining the television show’s version because no meal is complete without dessert. But, I’m kind of salty that the Krusty Krab replica doesn’t serve sponge cake. They do, however, serve cake with Spongebob on it (that’s close enough, I guess). But, if eating your favorite character isn’t your style, the Krusty Krab serves brownies, ice cream, and waffles. 

Even Squidward likes Krabby Patties, so I’m sure you will too. But, if you can’t get to Russia in the near future, you can try this Krabby Patty recipe at home. Regardless of whether you’re enjoying them in Russia or cooking ’em up yourself, just remember Pretty Patties are a no
