The Boiling Crab is a popular seafood restaurant known for its exceptional food and unique dining experience. Customers often face long wait times for a table, but many agree that the experience is well worth it. The restaurant is celebrated for its flavorful seasoning, with the "Whole Sha-Bang" being a customer favorite that combines lemon pepper, Cajun, and garlic butter. The menu features a variety of seafood options, including shrimp, mussels, and crawfish, which are served in bags and can get quite messy. Some customers have raised concerns about the Dungeness crab and frozen crayfish, noting that the crab may be mostly shell weight and the crayfish can arrive broken and mushy. Despite this, the food is still considered delicious, with many enjoying a pound or two of whole shabang non-spicy with extra garlic. The service is consistently praised, and the restaurant's decor resembles a fish house, adding to the overall experience. While the prices may be seen as high, customers generally feel that the quality of the food and the overall experience justify the cost. The restaurant tends to be very busy, especially during evenings and weekends, which is why many prefer to place orders over the phone for pickup. Those taking food home should remember to ask for table covers, bibs, and plastic gloves.
