Be prepared to be messy while wating in this lively restaurant that is located at a 3-way traffic junction. Great services and great food. Tasty, delightful, loved everything that were ordered, dungeness crab, shrimps,fried oysters, fried catfish. The rajun cajun sauce was terrific and spicy for med range.
We tried the new onion rings and WOW!!! Definitely get them , you don’t wanna miss out ! Also if you get extra dipping shabang sauce w/Lime and dip them /SO GOOD! Shrimp was delicious as always. We added the sausage and it was a little salty for my taste but good sausage nonetheless. Everything was perfectly cooked and service was extra chipper , we loved it ! Always a good time , Thank you
Affordable price is a plus, but almost a half of the shrimp is not fresh. We tried Cajun and garlic sauces but they are almost indistinguishable. The drunken crab in Santa Barbara is much better
my favorite restaurant! I wanted my son to try this seafood dish, so was able to go there with him, and he seemed to like it. (We ordered a pound of shrimp with whole shabang sauce )I also ordered chicken tenders, but they were dry and hard. It was disappointing absolutely no flavor with the additional corn. But overall I really enjoyed it! I look forward to go there it again
It's my favorite, but the quality of food is dropping by time, friendly staff, yet they got busy and you to wait for any to pass you, shrimps, not easy to peal, it should be cleaned, the black line over it back ( Digestive tract) " shrimp poop" for those who dont know should be removed , shrimps must be deveined, king crab legs was amazing, and the rest of the food really good
🦀Delicious seafood and ice cold beverages are what you can expect at the Boiling Crab! The food was on point as usual. However on this particular visit we had an amazing experience with one of the waiters! Isaac had a great personality and gave us a wonderful story about his facial scar. It’s super cool and shaped like a question mark, which makes you want to ask the question… How did you get that scar? He said he like when people ask, so if you get him as you waiter, ask him! Always a lot going on but the staff was attentive and the food came quickly. I highly recommend.
The fried squid was nice! The crab and shrimp were fresh.
Miss the vibe of the boiling crab.
Brian is the man with the plan here. It’s so chill here cool AC tvs everywhere and kid friendly. I enjoy 1lb of shrimp sha bang medium and 1 link omg delicious. If I’m feeling really good I’ll add some mussels.
The food was good. The service was excellent. Everything came out hot and fast. We ordered 10 lbs of crawfish, 5 lbs of shrimp, 5 lbs of mussels, 2 lbs of clams, and bunch of corn and sausages. The waiter put half of the order in and waited to put the other half when we finished so the food can come out fresh and hot which we appreciated. The only con was that the crawfish had a lot of seasoning on the bottom, so it was a little salty for the bottom ones. Overall great spot.
I used to love The Boiling Crab. I stopped going because of the long wait times and the lack of reservations. However, while driving, I spotted one with no line out the door! When we walked up, we were able to sit right away! My jaw dropped in both excitement and confusion haha.
My family always gets our usual. Clams, shrimp, potatoes, and corn with the whole sha-bang sauce. We also ordered a side of fries and rice. Everything came out in good time and was delicious! My only annoyance was that they didn’t have any lemons. Ugh! They had limes but it just wasn’t the same flavors. It sounds minor, but lemon just really makes the flavors pop.
The service was great and our waters were constantly being refilled. The ambiance was nice. They had a basketball game playing so hubby was in his element.
If we are always lucky to be sat right away, then I might start coming back on a regular lol. Will see.
nice outdoor seating, the staff were very friendly. the food was good especially the fried calamari.
ireally enjoyed my time there.
the restrooms were clean 7/10 aswell.
there is street parking available nearby
Cons: first time here, we have this place in Texas but I was surprised that 1 cluster of snow crab over here was $33, that’s pretty ridiculous considering it’s just one claw. My bf got the fried catfish basket and it lacked seasoning. Tried the gumbo and it was plain in flavor to me as well.
Pros: service! We came on a busy weekend night but were able to get seated quickly and the food came out even faster, literally within 10 minutes. Customer service was great considering it being a full house.
Love this place! Hadn’t been in a few years and finally went back last week and had the best time. Staff + service was great & food is delicious! The seafood is fresh and the margaritas are soooo good! Can’t wait to go back again.
The food was super fresh!!
Had a little hiccup with our service since he seemed like he dreaded his job!
That’s okay! We asked for a different one, and he was GREAT!
Overall the food was scrumptious!!
Fresh seafood is A+
First time at The Boiling Crab. Service was fast, but the server was moving, so fast they don't take the time to listen to your request. We placed our order and wanted gumbo to go. We did not get the gumbo and reorder it and said this would be paid separately. While we were waiting to pay, the other server informed us it was paid.
My first time at this location. Usually go to Koreatown and Alhambra locations. Food was good and consistent with other locations. Service was excellent and lively as the staff seemed fun and to enjoy their jobs. Will return.
Great concept, excellent food. So tasty and can get the level of spice that you want - XXX is definitely spicy, but so yummy! Decent margarita, and people seemed to really like the crazy beer with chilli drink...can be a bit of a wait for a table, but definitely worth it.
