Came here late in the day and it was well worth it. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant was very interesting, staff was extra friendly and the seafood boil was amazing. We had the Shrimp, Clam, and King crab legs combo. The seafood was fresh and high quality. The sauce was incredible. We are looking forward to repeat our visit!

Food Is great, we used to eat spicy but decided to to a rokie and garlic butter instead,shrimp cook perfectly juicy and and sweet, Crabs is sweet and taste fresh. fast and friendly service gelly or Gilly is very attentive. Will definitely goin back. Notes*** Calamari is not as good as the other ive been too, it is better if is made fresh or more like calamari rings. ( its from the bag lols)

I personally did not have a good experience here but I was with a group for a family members birthday and they had a great time!To start, I ordered my toddler and I Sprites/7up and they brought her one and me a water- asked for the soda again and got soda water. We had some appetizers and it took maybe 20 minutes after we were done with them for the waitress to ask if we wanted to order anything else- yes, dinner please! By this point we had already been there for an hour and we're very hungry. I couldn't do the seafood stuff because I was 9.9 months pregnant so I opted for wings. I ordered the 10 count of lemon pepper and Buffalo. The waitress told me it was 6 of each flavor even though I read it was only a total of 10 wings so I was enthused there'd be more. There were indeed 10 and they gave me garlic Parmesan and Buffalo.. I was upset but to keep the vibe happy in just kept my mouth shut and ate the food. Family ordered the big buckets of crab, shrimp and mussels and thoroughly enjoyed themselves so that's all that really matters. Music was loud and place wasn't busy so my toddler was able to be noisy and have fun and no one complained. I did take her to walk outside on their patio with outside seating to stretch her legs and we got locked out and no one came to rescue us for 10 minutes who locks the patio door during business hours?! Anyways, fun art on the walls!

Just discovered this place last night. Comfortable seating, spacious restaurant. Reasonable prices for seafood. We ordered snow crabs,crawfish with their own special rookie sauce, drunken mussels and garlic noodles. Those who are fans of similar Cajun restaurants would be familiar with their special mixed sauces but this one has a slight different flavor and is really good. Seafood is very fresh. Drunken mussels and garlic noodles also are delicious. We also noticed that the food is not as greasy as the other places which is a plus. Feels healthier. This is my new go to Cajun seafood restaurant.

Came here today for dinner. I ordered the crab noodles that was okay. What made it so much better was I added some Cajun time sauce. The sauce is really good. My son had the king crab(frozen). Let me say this all the seafood was frozen not fresh, clams was very small, potatoes were hard. Another somewhat disappointing dining experience, and I really wanted to enjoy this place.

I went here yesterday and it was literally one of the best Crab/shrimp boils I have ever had. The flavor was amazing. I would highly recommend getting extra sauce on the side for dipping! This took the meal to the next level. We ordered The World Series with a side of garlic noodles. The food, again was fantastic. The service was also great. She gave us enough space to enjoy each others company, but came to check on us often enough to not have to ask for anything. It also a pretty cool vibe inside. Pros: The food is amazing! We had 2 lbs of shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, sausage, and garlic noodles. They give you nice size portions. The spice level was accurate. We got The Rookie, which was all of the same flavor but not spicy. They are very fast. You are not waiting very long for your food to come out. The background music was at a perfect level for conversation with your group. Cons: They open at 3pm. I wish they were open for lunch time (noon), but they are worth the wait. Overall, this is an amazing place to eat for dates, families, and children. We will definitely be coming back here!
My wife said she wanted to try this place, she saw an ad on Facebook so we loaded up the family and went to check it out and we're so glad we did if I could give 10 Stars I would, Ashley our server was super nice she went into the kitchen and brought her dad Leon out to meet us, he was the Master Chef, it was awesome I love that they're super friendly and the most awesome food ever hands down the best sauce ever thank you Ashley and Leon we definitely will be back soon ? ?

Extremely disappointed with the rudeness of the person working there. I took the time to drive from South OC to this place and instead of accommodating walking in costumers the lady/waiter decided to ignore us and take phone orders. We waited for a long time to be helped but she would not let go of the phone. My family and I decided to walk away and came to Boiling Crab. Now I realize why this place is empty. Very unfortunate because my family and I were looking forward to trying their food. If you have customers inside the restaurant, take care of them first and put the phone on hold.

I had the opportunity to visit CrabStation Seafood Shack in Santa Ana, CA and I was blown away by the quality of their food. The menu is very diverse and offers something for everyone. My shrimp scampi was delicious! A must try if you're looking for a good bite at this restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful, they know what they're doing when it comes to seafood!

I've tried all the Cajun seafood spots and this one is my favorite for many reasons! Their menu is vast and offers much More than the others, I like that they offer you gloves instead of me having to bring my own in, newer, cleaner, wishing they had more locations to branch out! Give it a try and you'll enjoy the options on the menu plus their sauce is Wow! Enjoy!
