One of my most favorite places to eat in America! I’ve tried their shrimp and crab in a bag, fried shrimp, Cajun fries and rice. Their whole sha bang and garlic sauce is absolutely delicious! Much more of an experience dining in the restaurant but they have long waits so make sure you join the waitlist. You have to eat out of a bag so expect for things to get messy. Totally worth it though!

Hands down the best service ever. The food is always delicious and fresh and the employees are the most polite and professional I've ever encountered. Every time I have dined there I was impressed. I made several reviews on this place because of how awesome they truly are. Even on busy evenings they keep everything spotless clean and ran like a well oiled machine. 10/10 highly recommend.

There was a 30 deep line at 12pm before they opened. People that got here after 12pm had a 45 minutes wait. We had 5x bags of shrimp $15 each, fried oysters $10, wings $15 and fried shrimp $13. Paccifico beers $6. Rice $2.50. The medium heat shrimp bags weren't that hot. The XXX spice level ones were enjoyable. Everything there were pretty good. I did enjoy watching the football game on their TVs. Service was excellent.

This is my second experience trying out Boiling Crab and it was just as amazing as the first. Nothing but deliciousness, tasty and savory seafood and amazing service! I also want to thank the Staff here for providing us a table showing up 30 minutes before closing and we were not the only ones either. They stayed over an hour past closing time to satisfy the seafood cravings of their guest and that shows a lot!! Meant a lot to my family and I since we came out of town specifically wanting Boiling Crab and they made it happen! Thank you very much! The seafood is spectacularly beyond expectations when it comes to taste, freshness and quality. I love coming here! The Micheladas here are one of the best ones I’ve had. Had to go with a classic modelo when it comes to picking a beer for my Michelada. The spice and Clamato mix is just incredible and hits the spot perfectly while you’re eating seafood. Our seafood consisted of Snow Crab, Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, with Potatoes and Sausage in there Mild Whole Sha-Bang Sauce which is my favorite (Highly Recommended)!!! Just writing this review is making my mouth water and wanting this revisit for more! If you have not tried The Boiling Crab, especially at this location. YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!! Thank you Boiling Crab!!

What is the best time to find a parking spot near this restaurant?

Isaiah Rodriguez | Sep 5, 2017
David Tripp | Sep 5, 2017

There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, but this restaurant gets exceedingly crowded. Your best bet is to go early like 5 p.m. or at the end of the night close to 9 p.m. Otherwise you're going to have a 1-2 hour wait.

@violeta it's indoor dining so more than likely it's not pet friendly. Most places do allow ESA, not sure if they do here.
