Friendly staff, good seafood selection. The crab fries were excellent, our shrimp boil was good. Some of the shrimp were a bit over cooked but flavor was spot on.

What a gem! We didn't have an appetite big enough to do one of the boils which all seemed reasonably price. We had the fried scallops basket, sha-bang bang shrimp and onion rings. Unfortunately we are leaving tomorrow or we'd love to return. I like the ability to select the spiciness. We selected second hotest for the shrimp. I love spicy and it was great. Took some home for dinner and was still great.

So after a long trip to the island and traffic at a standstill I spotted this place. After several rounds looking for a parking spot.... We were in. Was a Wednesday night so as expected really slow. The waiter came right over. I asked for a few suggestions and about the Gumbo. Gumbo came out and was very good. Shrimp basket with fries have great flavor on the shrimp 🦐. Fries were crunchy for all the entree's ( Not a fan but my wife LOVED them). The Po boy was delicious. Also got the lobster 🦞 roll... They said that the spice level was hotter than most places.... You better believe it.... WOW .
Flavor was on point with the roll but even though I ordered med spice it was HOT. Not that I don't enjoy hot but it kinda hid the flavor. To sum it up was an great meal and would want to try the boil next time.

We ordered delivery. The food amount is only for 1.5 people instead of 2-3. The seafood quality is very bad. They look tasty but not at all. Not recommended.

Management is rude. My first time eating seafood boil specifically the snow crab and there was no meat in it. I asked if they “preferred a refund or a some middle ground”. Got met with really rude defensive remarks like “well I didn’t grow the crabs” and “I can’t read your mind” after that the 100+ dollar meal just tasted sour. Treat people a little nicer thanks

Too high for 2 clusters of crab, no add ons for 1 person. It wasnt like this 3+ years ago. But their flavors are great 👍🏾

We ordered one of the crab combos, but not the king crab.

The Boiling Crab has consistently served great food, flavor, and service for over half a decade. Welcoming and friendly staff members make the meal very enjoyable allowing the customers to choose the variety of seafood selections to their liking.
Just to name a few: crayfish, dungeness crab, lobster, fried catfish, fried okra, and Gumbo is what you can find on their menu.
The spacious and clean environment shows attention to details on making sure the table and floor are clean and safe to be on.
Expect to pay a hefty price with the market price fluctuating. Overall, I highly recommend this business for their service and quality of food being so great!

Great service with a smile here all the time. Hard to know who your server is because of the great teamwork! Kudos to the leadership for that. Got the fried shrimp basket (delicious) and bag of Cajun shrimp (it never disappoints). Always an amazing experience here. Mahalo! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
