I got the crawfish boil bag and let me tell you, that sauce in the bottom of the bag was some of the best seafood boil I have ever had. Reminds me of the sauce a staff at my old school used to make. 10/10 no notes. The atmosphere was perfect, nice old pub vibes. And the service was top notch. Would definitely come again.
I know that wifey loves seafood and just happened to find this spot cuz of the fried softshell crabs (which I like). Ordered those and one of their seafood boils (I think it’s called the dirty). I enjoyed the softshell crabs. Seasoning gave it a fried chicken type of flavor but enjoyable. As for the seafood boil it was okay. It was mainly shrimp corn and potato.
Wasn’t busy when we arrived and seated promptly. Service was great at first. But then when I asked...read full review

The Boiling Crab is a restaurant offering delicious seafood and tasty cocktails. The seafood boil is a popular choice, with dishes like the TBC special that includes sausage, mussels, corn, and shrimp, which customers find to be amazing. Fried catfish and lemon pepper fries are also highly praised, with some reviews mentioning that the fries are unreal. The crawfish, snow crab, and shrimp with signature seasoning provide a flavor explosion that many consider one of the best dining experiences in Cambridge. The food is fresh and served quickly, and the staff is nice and attentive, explaining the menu and spice levels. However, parking can be challenging, and the restaurant fills up quickly, so reservations are recommended. Prices are reasonable, making it a place visitors look forward to returning to. Note that sides like corn on the cob and potatoes are extra, and some customers suggest improvements such as offering a bucket for shells and ensuring sodas are not flat.
