Be prepared for plenty of sauce and some messy eating as you enjoy the spicy delicious seafood right onto your covered tabletop. Bibs are offered and highly recommended. Be had several pounds of juicy sweet and tender snow crabs. Deep fried scallops, fried oysters, and a pound and half of shrimp . The quality of the ingredients are quite good. Oysters, shrimp, and scallops are all very good size. The
Lime wedges can squeezed and mixed onto the dry spices and offers a great acidity and balance to the seafood. Expect a la carte for many items such a separate order for corn, potatoes, eggs, and sausages which is what we did to accompany the meal. You have a choice of spice level and we order mild with the whole sha bang. It was still plenty of heat for mild. Was all yummy and pricey for a party of 4.

This is more than the third time I’ve driven here, a 1.5-hour drive, and when I arrive at 8:04, they tell me there’s a 1 hour and 15 minute wait. I politely wait in my car, with no one ahead of me, and they insist they won’t seat me, even though there’s tables availables and no one else is waiting. The food is amazing, but the hosting service is terrible. It seems like they never want to seat you.

There was a 50 min wait from getting our name on a waitlist to putting in our orders at a 2pm on Sunday, but it was 100% worth it. I shared a lb of shrimp + 8 corns + potatoes with my partner, and everything was amazing. Just how I remember 10+ years ago, maybe even better! Come ready to get messy and prepared to your wash your hands 5x after to get off all the oily deliciousness 🙂

First off why have a wait list if you cant join online. I attended this boiling crab on a Sunday evening arriving at 4:30. Told my wait would be hour and 15 mins. After waiting an hour in the car and being 11th in line, I noticed i jumped up to 12th so I went in and decided to ask. Their internet was down. So I ask the “shift lead ” what place i was in line and she rudely replied “idk my iPad is off line”. So I asked “do you know how long people have been waiting” and rudely again no!. I visit this specific location occasionally and everytime i attend it seems like there is some type of issue. Also I heard a server tell another seated party that they cannot take card because of the internet being down that they can apple pay the manager directly. What kind of business are you running?? You would think if you know your having trouble with your internet that you would alert your customers before moving forward. As I sat down I watched the manager on duty tell a big party that the” host is going to count every single on of you in your party and if your all not here we cannot seai tt you” rudely again. I am in management and the customer service by the so called management is degrading to anyone that is in customer service.
Only positive thing about the visit was the server Milly.
Management really needs to do better

I’m really disappointed with our experience at The Boiling Crab on 65th Street in Sacramento.
We joined the waitlist before we even arrived. After receiving a text saying our table was ready, we still had to wait an additional 20 minutes to be seated.
When it was finally time to be seated, one person in our party had briefly stepped out to the car to grab a diaper bag. Even though staff could clearly see that the rest of our entire party was present and waiting inside, they refused to seat us until she walked back from the car. This directly contributed to the extra wait time and felt unnecessary and unaccommodating.
After we ordered, things continued to go downhill. My pregnant friend was served shrimp in her seafood bag, even though she did not order shrimp. We immediately brought this to the staff’s attention and clearly explained that she is pregnant and cannot eat shrimp.
The bag was taken back to the kitchen, but instead of making a fresh one, they picked the shrimp out and sent the same bag back. This is completely unacceptable, especially considering pregnancy and food safety concerns. We complained again and had to send it back.
What made this even more frustrating was the lack of attention from our waiter. He was not the one who addressed any of our concerns and only came by once to check on us. Instead, the gentleman bussing tables was the one who helped us multiple times and was far more attentive and helpful than our actual waiter.
Between the excessive wait time, refusal to seat us when most of the party was present, incorrect orders, poor food safety handling, and lack of proper service, this experience was extremely disappointing. We expected much better.

The service is fair. It was friendly and present. Definitely feel the price was fair for the amount of food. We had an order of fries which were fantastic and a pound of crawfish and shrimp with all the extras… Bomb! Definitely worth it and will sure to be back!

Wonderful first time experience!
Only a twenty minute wait, easy and accessible parking.
We got clams, shrimp, snow crab, blue crab, and oysters. Along with steamed rice and gumbo rice. Everything was great except for the blue crab which had some brown meat in the legs that didn’t smell too good.
Great staff checked in and offered extra plastic gloves. While my friends went bare handed these were a must have for me and I really appreciated extra!
Easy bring home left overs, given extra plastic bags and the boiling crab bag.
We will be coming back! Thank you!

This is Sunday, my friends came in town for visit and want to try the famous boiling crab. So we stop by night time almost 6, waited about one and half hours for our table which is fine Sunday night always busy. Our server was really nice we got party of five, 4 adults and 1 one year old. We ordered all flavors shrimp total 4lbs, 2lb mussels, 1 lb clam, 4 corns and 1 order sausage and some appetizers. Long story short, 1st we got mussels and clams it’s was great only clams got so many empty shells. And then we start to get our bags shrimp, at first I tried the shrimp it tasted funny I thought is that they used cheap shrimp it’s not fresh, and with the heavy sauce can’t really tell what’s wrong with it, then I ate one that’s cooked outside and raw inside, I immediately notified our server she took that one bag back said she will get us a new bag while we work on other bags. At this point I’m just really upset, my wife is pregnant and I got one year old might have eaten not fully cooked seafood. The same time we working on other bags and I noticed every bags got some shrimps that’s not fully cooked, I called server again to notify manager. While we wait for the manager we got our new bag 1lb shrimp, this time it’s cooked, but over cooked. I’m not sure they reused the one they bought it back to cook again or what, the shrimp it’s like chewy gum way over cooked. The manager showed up did not even apologize, she just looked at table even don’t care I’m trying to show her uncooked shrimp, she said “oh, looks like you guys finished most of it like half way, so we can’t do anything at this point, I’ll give you 10% off 1 item.” You heard that right, “ONE ITEM” which is 1lb shrimp $1.6. I told her it’s not about the money, my wife is pregnant and I got one year old toddler can’t eat raw seafood they might get sick, not sure how she passed her health safety license. Of course each person grab one shrimp from the 1lb bag its like almost half way through. She just gave a nasty look, it’s like not the first time it happened she just doesn’t care. At this point I got no mood even to eat anymore also she didn’t even offer to recook my food, just ask for check be done the night. I got my bill, she even trying to charge me additional lb shrimp they took back and recooked, now shows I got billed 5lbs shrimp total. If I didn’t pay attention to my check she just charge whatever she wants. This is health issues to serve raw seafood to anyone!!!! The lady manager name is Sarina Chanthanarm, not sure it’s really her name or not, the server just gave me the business card said this is the manager, I hope she go retake her health safety test to learn how important not to serve customer uncooked food.

My party of 11 came here for my wife’s birthday. We went right when they opened and there was a small line waiting to get in. We were told to wait five minutes while they gathered tables together. One person got clams with garlic butter, snow crab with medium heat, snow crab garlic butter, two blue crab (one hot/one garlic butter), (5)chicken tenders , Gumbo w/ side of rice, and one king crab mild. When being served the gumbo, the waiter spilled some on one person in our party. While he was ok he was more upset with the lack of rice it came with. He asked about it and had to order an extra side of rice. As for the rest of the food it was great and amazing flavors. One thing we noticed was the heat level from mild to hot was the same for reason. We actually tried a little from everyone’s bag to test it out and sure enough it was all the same heat level. Maybe someone got confused when doing the sauces. Overall we would come back and hopefully turn those chicken tender orders into seafood orders next time! We kept telling the kids they don’t know what they’re missing.
