Fresh seafood and lots of flavor. This is our favorite boiled seafood spot. Service is solid and the food is excellent. There can be a wait, so get there early. And to be honest, the wait is the is the only bad part of Boiling Crab. But if there isn't a wait, then is it really that good?
Great service. Cool decor. Yummy food! My 8 year old always wants crablegs on her birthday. This year we tried the boiling crab.
#1 seafood / Cajun sauce!! 100% recommendations to come try!! Weekend there is a wait time but worth it!! Clean place n everyone nice!
We love this place! We used to go to the Garland location and wait for hours in line, here we never have to wait long and the food is always delicious!! I've never had anything here that we didn't love! Highly recommend! (And BRING GLOVES!)
We went to have lunch here with some friends as going away get together with our families, too. I enjoyed eating the seasonal Crawfish with potatoes. Serving Staff are attentive and helpful. Well lighted, clean seafood restaurants and great decor.
Date night review... This is not a good "first" date place but for anyone else, it's fun and unique. It's best to dine in the bib and have sauce covered hands. We had blue crab, mussels, clams, and crawfish. The corn, potatoes, sausage, and egg are a must. We did need to wait to be seated, but less than ten minutes. It did take a bit for the food to arrive but it was fresh and well seasoned. Wait staff were all super nice. I was even offered a water refill right before I left. This might seem small but it was a very nice touch and hit the spot in the hot weather.
