“We have been HUGE a huge fan of a local crawfish restaurant for as long as they have been open, and have gone frequently over the years. Recently we have been looking to try some of the other crawfish places around. Not only did the Boxing Crab have flavorful sauces to choose from, top quality freshness, the best cooked crawfish we have had in a restaurant, (even better than our regular spot), and their service was wonderful! We now have a new GoTo! We will recommend them again and again!“

“Overall we had a great experience here. We went on a Sunday Evening. We didn't realize the wait would be so long so we didn't get onto the online waitlist until 5:30 which meant our reservation was an hour to an hour and 15mins later. We left a little late and they called us before we got there so we were dropped from the wait list. The good news was once we got there they were accommodating and put us back on the wait list with a short wait. Once there, the wait staff was Extremely attentive, professional and friendly. Food came out reasonably quick. The prices for king crab were $60/lb (too high for us) so we got snow crab for half that ($30/lb) and a seafood boil where you can pick and choose what goes into it (I love that!). Butcher block paper is on the table and you can choose to eat directly off the table which is super fun and my kids absolutely loved it. I only wish they had paper towels instead of napkins at the tables because it's messy. Overall it was super fun and we had a good experience.“

“Best seafood boil in San Diego by far. I’ve tried em all. Me personally I don’t like the sauce all chunky and they don’t make their sauce chunky here it’s more liquid based and so good. I’m from the east coast and I’ve been searching high and low for a place that reminds me of the seafood boils from the Maryland/DC area so if you’re looking for the same thing trust me!“

“I wasn't sure about ordering from a take out kitchen like this, but I'm glad I did. The food is fantastic.As a note: to order take out you need to go to the website to choose what you want and pay, then when you arrive at the place you call the number on the sign out front. They'll bring out your food.I had red beans and rice, a hot link, mac and cheese, and corn bread. All of it was full of flavor.I try to go to New Orleans about once a year. I've had mixed experiences with Creole food in San Diego. I'm not an expert of course, but this seemed legit. The mac and cheese was especially delicious.“
