First time at The Boiling Crab and the service was amazing! All the servers were very attentive and the manager on duty was so nice and made us feel welcome. Food was delicious, couldn’t find one negative thing about this place, I will be back soon!

Went with a friend who paid for lunch. I was excited but that quickly turned to disappointment. High priced mediocre crab and shrimp ( previously frozen?) and the servers were bored and inattentive even though not busy at all.

This place is a family friendly restaurant. My family has been coming here for some years now. Only downside is the wait time but that usually is the case when everyone is trying to get a seat.

Ordered takeout from Boiling Crab the other day and it was amazing. We got snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, and some chicken tenders on the side, all in mild sauce. It was full of flavor and every bite was different. When I went to pick it up, it was quick and easy, and the restaurant looked like the place people would go to stuff themselves with friends. One of the best seafood boil restaurants in my opinion.

my friends & i love this place. it’s our go to catch up spot for our girls time. plus, Johnny always has the best customer service, always so nice & welcoming. my favorite boiling crab spot!
Used the Yelp app to get on the wait list a little before we arrived around 4pm. Total wait was around 30 minutes, 10 on site after checking in. Getting help and ketchup was pretty easy. Food was great! We’ll be back.

Visited Boiling Crab last Monday right at opening, and there was no wait, which was a nice plus. Unfortunately, they were out of oysters and crab, but they did have lobster available. We gave it a try, and the extra sauce we ordered was definitely the highlight—rich, flavorful, and elevated the meal. While the limited menu options were a bit disappointing, the quality of the lobster and the tasty sauce made up for it. Overall, a satisfying experience despite the lack of variety that day.

Flavor was good but the lobster had a mushy texture and very little meat. Following up on the owner's response, I did let the server know, he handled it very well which is why I left a good review for service. The wait staff was very pleasant and professional.
