About The Boiling Crab

The Boiling Crab is a popular restaurant that serves a variety of seafood dishes. The menu features blue crabs, fried shrimp, and soft shell crabs, among others. The restaurant offers a range of sauces, including garlic butter and a mixed sauce with a salty flavor. Customers often enjoy the friendly and attentive service, with servers like Amiya and Latoya providing excellent tips and warm smiles. The food is consistently delicious, with dishes like blue crab, snow crab, and the Bang Bang shrimp receiving praise. However, some recent changes in certain dishes, such as crabby fries, have disappointed some guests, as they now use back fin instead of jump lump crab. Overall, The Boiling Crab remains a great choice for seafood lovers seeking tasty and reasonably priced meals, with a lively atmosphere and good service.
