My girlfriend and I stumbled upon the new Monster Crab location on Northern Blvd, and what a find! Even though it’s in a quieter area, the place was absolutely packed by 6:30 PM—and for good reason.
The value here is insane: $29.99 for lunch and $59.99 for dinner. They really mean “All You Can Eat,” and trust me, you’ll be questioning how much you can actually handle! We started with unlimited appetizers (the fried pickles are a must, but be careful—they come out piping hot!).
For the main event, the seafood boil was perfection. I went with the garlic butter sauce on snow crab, clams, shrimp, and corn, and added a lobster for just $5.00. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served steaming hot. The service was lightning-fast—we had our drinks in under two minutes.
I definitely recommend this to everyone in the neighborhood. It’s a total gem, and we are already planning our next trip back!
If you live in the neighborhood, you need to support this place. Great value, great tasting food, and the staff actually cares about your experience. 10/10 recommend!

$29.95 all you can eat seafood boil in Long Island City?! Say less!
The Monster Crab just opened their newest seafood boil location on Northern Blvd in LIC and this might be one of the best lunch deals in town!
For under $30, you get an all you can eat seafood boil, fried favorites, free add ons like potatoes, corn, sausage & boiled eggs plus soft drinks included.
You pick your catch, pick your sauce and your spice level. The house blend sauce is crack and level spicy is where it’s at (not that spicy tbh)
Dinner is $59.95 per person and Monday-Thursday & they’ve got $1 drinks.
The staff is attentive and so kind. The place is spacious and the ambiance is really nice.
Perfect for date nights, family night, celebrations and more!

The staff here is extremely
Amazing and tries to be attentive , yes it’s $65 for all
You can eat, lobster tail is $5 extra and for the whole lobster it’s $10, you can’t beat the prices, the food itself was well seasoned, granted it’s a new resturant I hope the service and quality of food does stay the same like
Now. I would come back here again.

I was so excited about this place but very underwhelmed by the food. The servers were all friendly but It seems to be false advertising. I came for crab legs but its $30 AYCE + $5 per cluster. I also ordered shrimp, fried pickles, lobster roll and sweet potato fries. It came with 3 shrimp and like 7 fries per order. The sauce in the boil tasted like just oil even though i got the “house blend”. I wouldn’t come back here and would rather go to a regular seafood spot. You end up paying the same amount as a regular seafood spot but get way less food here.

Service:
The service experience was mixed. The waitresses were noticeably more attentive and accommodating than the waiters, and they handled our table professionally. Unfortunately, the food runner created a very different impression. Dishes were dropped off hurriedly, without acknowledgment, and when we attempted to ask a question, we were met with visible impatience and avoidance. Even a simple response such as, “I’ll get your server for you,” would have gone a long way in maintaining a hospitable atmosphere.
Food:
Each of us ordered the steamed oysters, but they had a pronounced fishy odor and taste that made us question their freshness. We ultimately chose not to eat them, which was disappointing and felt wasteful. The fried appetizers were decent, and the seafood boil was acceptable — neither particularly memorable nor especially disappointing, but certainly not standout.
Overall:
While the price point may be appealing for an all-you-can-eat seafood option, value alone isn’t enough to bring us back. Despite wanting to rate it one to two stars, I hesitated because the waitresses were genuinely attentive and demonstrated better service standards. However, based on the overall experience, we would not return.
Oh note! They include 18% tip to your bill so dont be surprised and get mad!

Great spot all around. The food was delicious and service was great. Drinks on point. Great variety. The boil sauces were tasty. Will definitely be back. In comparison to the similar boil spots this would land in the number 1 spot. (This location in particular)
