Best crab pot that I have been to in the US! If you are foodie, you have to try this place out. Their sha-bang sauce is unique. Love the combination of fresh garlic along with their spices. It goes well on top a side of their white rice. This location has the best customer service. I’ve always been met with the kindest staff.
The sizes of some of their shellfish are seasonal, but I’ve always felt the shrimp, clams, and mussels have a consistently good amount of meat. If you are dying for some kind of crab, my favorite is the snow crab.
And if you need a metal crab cracker, don’t be shy to ask for one.
Thank you Boiling Crab for the good food and memories!

Pretty good spot if your craving seafood boil. Had a pound of shrimp with potatoes, sausage and mussels, a dozen raw oysters, fries, calamari. Everything was pretty good my only complain was the oysters, they were a bit in the small side but still pretty good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Boiling Crab restaurant and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service, particularly from our server Natalia. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive throughout our entire meal, making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.
The highlight of our meal was definitely the Cajun seafood. The flavors were bold and delicious, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The freshness of the seafood was evident in every bite, and the generous portions left us feeling satisfied and content. The unique Cajun spices added a wonderful kick to the dishes, making each bite a burst of flavor that kept us coming back for more.
I would highly recommend The Boiling Crab to anyone looking for a fantastic seafood dining experience. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, the service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be returning and will be sure to spread the word to all of my friends and family. Thank you, Natalia, and the entire team at The Boiling Crab for a memorable dining experience.

ALWAYS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! They know who I am, when I come rolling in. Everything is always hot and delicious !!! I got a cup of Gumbo, no sausage and added a cup of extra rice. A half dozen of oysters . I tried a NEW DISH, unfortunately I can’t think of the name. It was fried oysters with a hot/ mild sauce with rice. It was extremely delicious!!!

Great location but hard to find parking near. Too crowded and long of a wait. Service was courteous. Food was average. Potatoes felt cold but corn was burning. Shrimp with big heads & not cleaned, crab legs too expensive.

Ordered takeout from Boiling Crab the other day and it was amazing. We got snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, and some chicken tenders on the side, all in mild sauce. It was full of flavor and every bite was different. When I went to pick it up, it was quick and easy, and the restaurant looked like the place people would go to stuff themselves with friends. One of the best seafood boil restaurants in my opinion.

Don’t bother! The shrimp was chewy and the crab mushy. Sauce was thick and weird. The quality of the seafood was poor at best. Waste of money and time! Spoke to the manager who gave us 30% off with an attitude. Never again!

During our visit to LA, we dined at The Boiling Crab, where we ordered Snow Crab Legs, King Crab Legs, and Lobster, all priced at market rates. The Garlic Butter and Rajun Cajun sauces added a rich depth of flavor to the naturally sweet and fresh seafood. Additionally, we also sampled the Fried Catfish Basket and Fried Oysters, both of which were equally delightful.
Note: The restaurant opens at 3 PM on weekdays, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly!
