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. 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. Some mentioned that to-go bags do not include enough sauces, leaving shrimps feeling a bit dryer, but the taste still receives high praise. Many guests enjoy the shrimp, sausage, clams, and corn, often choosing the whole shebang. The Cajun fries at medium heat are also a favorite. The vibe is super chill, and the staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience enjoyable. The restaurant sometimes has crazy wait times, but there is a shopping center nearby to pass the time. Overall, The Boiling Crab remains a popular spot for seafood lovers, whether dining in or taking out.
