The Boiling Crab offers tasty food but can have long wait times and limited parking. The service is solid, with helpful servers who often check on diners and refill drinks before being asked. This location is bigger than others, and everything ordered comes out quick, hot, and ready to devour. While some find the food a little salty with less sauce compared to other places, many agree that it is very flavorful and saucy. For those looking for a shrimp feast, this spot is worth a try, whether dining in or ordering to go. Recent visitors noted that the staff is attentive, and the manager on duty makes customers feel welcome. The restaurant is family friendly and popular with regulars. When ordering takeout, customers found the snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, and chicken tenders in mild sauce to be full of flavor, with quick and easy pickup. However, some have mentioned that the to-go bags do not include enough sauces, leaving shrimps feeling a bit dryer, but the taste still receives high praise. Overall, The Boiling Crab remains a favorite for many seafood lovers.
