The best boiling seafood you can find! Shrimp is easy to peel and their sauce is just right. Reasonable wait times and restrooms are clean. 10/10!

Food was good but women’s clothes attire (that looks like pjs) is a bit too much… the short shorts is inappropriate and I don’t want to see your behind when I’m eating… overall the food was great 👍

Can't go wrong with a seafood boil

Great food and service! Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. The food had great taste and the servers frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, including refills.
Downside, long wait times (not surprising since it's so popular), loud, and messy restooms. 😬

Shrimp was mushy and the sausage was chewy. Wouldn't eat here again.

Great place for seafood lovers! The Boiling Crab never disappoints — the shrimp and crawfish are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I love the whole ‘eat with your hands’ experience, it makes it fun and casual. Service is fast and friendly, and the vibe is always lively. Definitely worth the mess!

Great food and always with great service! Family friendly! Kids love the life size shark decor. We’ll continue to come here again and again! Only downside is wait time can get very long, sometimes 2 hours wait. We come right when they open most times to avoid this or look at their yelp ahead of time.

Best crab pot that I have been to in the US! If you are foodie, you have to try this place out. Their sha-bang sauce is unique. Love the combination of fresh garlic along with their spices. It goes well on top a side of their white rice. This location has the best customer service. I’ve always been met with the kindest staff.

The sizes of some of their shellfish are seasonal, but I’ve always felt the shrimp, clams, and mussels have a consistently good amount of meat. If you are dying for some kind of crab, my favorite is the snow crab.

And if you need a metal crab cracker, don’t be shy to ask for one.

Thank you Boiling Crab for the good food and memories!
