The Boiling Crab is a popular spot for Cajun food lovers. Despite sometimes long waits, the well-seasoned seafood is worth it. Known for its friendly and attentive staff, especially a helpful server named Derick, the restaurant provides a great experience. The place offers flavorful seafood options and plenty of add-ons, such as the seafood boil where customers can choose what goes into it. The tables have butcher block paper, making it fun to eat directly off the table, which kids love. The restaurant is conveniently located in a shopping plaza with ample parking, making it a good stop for those traveling between LA and Tijuana. It also offers dishes suitable for children and is praised for its fresh, clean environment. The atmosphere is lively, and the seafood, including shrimp and crawfish, is consistently hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, with the flavor of the sha-bang sauce standing out. The service is prompt and friendly, with staff like Trent providing attentive care, checking in without being overbearing and helping to select sauces and spice levels. While some menu items may occasionally be out of stock, the overall experience remains delicious and affordable. The fun tables with butcher paper add a playful touch, especially for kids, making the visit enjoyable even during busy times.
