My first time going was yesterday. The server was nice along with another guy I’m not sure his role. He kept coming making sure I was ok. The server did the same. I got a catfish basket the food was seasoned nice and fresh. I also got lemon pepper fries. Soo good. I will be going back

This was my first time at The Boiling Crab….I ordered the “Get It Dirty” combo, lemon pepper fries and a Mezcal Paloma drink. The Boil and French Fries were seasoned perfectly. My server Lucas was very helpful and attentive. I will definitely be back!

Food was excellent and drinks were tasty.
If you looking for spice, flavor and deliciousness then this is a great spot. Service was also wonderful and friendly.

I’m really disappointed because I usually love The Boiling Crab when I dine in. The seasoning and spice level are always amazing, which is why I decided to order delivery this time. I spent over $80 expecting the same quality I get in the restaurant, and unfortunately, that was not my experience at all.
I ordered a pound of head-on shrimp, and they were extremely mushy. I’m not sure if they were overcooked or not fresh, but the texture was very off and honestly inedible. Out of the entire pound, maybe only two to four shrimp were actually firm enough to eat. That was very upsetting because shrimp was my main protein and what I was craving the most. My boyfriend also ordered shrimp, and his were mushy as well.
The mussels were okay, and as always, the sauce and seasoning were great. That’s never the issue. But when you’re paying that much money, the quality of the seafood itself really matters.
I’ve never experienced this problem when dining in, but after this delivery experience, I won’t be ordering it for delivery again. It felt like a waste of money, especially when you can’t get a refund after it’s been delivered, even if the quality isn’t up to par.
Very disappointed this time.

It was pretty good. Service from waitress could’ve been a little better and faster but overall it was a good experience. The host at the front door was good though. He was on top of it. I also didn’t like that everything was an add on and expensive with the seafood boil in a bag. And you only get one cluster with the boil in bag… I had to add on another cluster which was expensive also. However, the flavor was bomb. My friend said the lobster roll was really good and the lemon pepper fries was good. The seating and space is nice. They have an upstairs and downstairs which is nice. Well lit but not overly bright. The upstairs view was lovely… . You can see the city lights. I would give them a second shot though. They seem like they are learning as they go.

First time at Boiling Crab and it was a great experience! Kari, our waitress, was amazing she explained everything to me and helped me pick the perfect order, which I really appreciated since it was my first time. The food was great, but honestly the French fries were the best part…. super crunchy, even better than Popeyes! Definitely coming back.

First time visiting DC. We came here today because we were craving seafood. The prices were not transparent since all the seafood was listed as “MP” without any actual numbers. We order couple of things. For the snow crab leg, the shell was very thick, but the meat inside was tiny compared to the size of the leg – there was barely any meat. It was definitely not worth almost $40. We were pretty disappointed. I hope they improve their quality control. Going to a seafood all-you-can-eat place might be a better option for similar prices.

Wow, what an incredible experience I had at this seafood restaurant! . The food was absolutely amazing—the flavors exploded in my mouth! It was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating.
Overall, everything about the restaurant was perfect—the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
I highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely be back again!

We decided to find a seafood restaurant and ended up here. There menu isn’t that large but I was able to find a couple of good items. My friend had a bag of snow crabs and shrimp but she said it didn’t have much flavor. I had the fried shrimp and the delicious crab fries . It’s a laid back atmosphere
