The sound of waves nearby set the perfect mood before I even sat down. I ordered grilled scallops with garlic butter, and the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. Each bite was sweet and tender, paired with a squeeze of fresh lime. The crab fried rice came steaming hot, loaded with chunks of real crab meat. It felt less like dining out and more like eating at a seaside friend’s kitchen.

Great experience at Boiling Crab! The food was on point cooked just right. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time. We had a minor issue with the order, but the staff handled it quickly and kindly, which really stood out. Would definitely come back.

Now I know customer service has left the chat in most service industry spaces however today one of this locations employees literally casually and very openly insulted me with zero hesitation as I was minding my business peacefully waiting for my order to finish up. sir, you could have kept that. Abysmal- and for overpriced and overhyped food nonetheless.
If you're a seafood lover, Boiling Crab is heaven in a bag. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of Cajun spices hits you like a warm, savory hug. Their “Whole Sha-Bang” sauce is the ultimate flavor bomb — buttery, garlicky, spicy, and addictively good. I usually go for the shrimp or snow crab legs with corn, sausage, and potatoes on the side. Everything is juicy, messy, and perfect. Be ready to get your hands dirty (in the best way), because this is not a place for dainty eating. The vibe is loud, fun, and casual — perfect for groups. Every bite makes you want to lick your fingers and order more. Boiling Crab never disappoints!

Service was not good at all. Order was messed up, manager showed no concern with making it right. Waiter never checked to make sure we were ok. Would probably never return

The crab is succulent. The sauces almost rival BCD. Would pass on the fries.
