Bring your appetite. Portions are very good. Depending on what day you go expect a wait. Service is good but, hard to get waitress attention when crowded. Prices are up there but it's expected with Seafood. Gumbo soup was plain. The make your own bag is the way to go but come hungry. Parking here not good at all. Spacious inside and can accommodate big parties.

Finally got our table after an hour wait. Minor gripe, but everything else was delicious! The taste was on point. Shrimp/clams/crawfish/calamari were awesome. First timer gets the bib treatment.

Great spot. Massive location for many patrons. I could eat this all the time when I was younger but alas, in my age, it still tastes amazing but my system can’t handle it too often. Nothing against BC, it’s about me getting old ;) lol Whole shebang, mild, sausage, love the corn, shrimp and potatoes. They were so slammed that they ran out of crawfish but I don’t normally order anyhow. Too much work for the little shebang. Awesome time catching up w a friend. Service was awesome and had a michelada. Goooood stuff.

Four words can summarize my experiences at the Boiling Crab restaurant : comforty , deliciously Messy , and satisfying . As a first timer dining at here , I am quite nervous at the begining as I wonder how and what should I order ? Once we were greeted by the friendly hosts who is very experienced and asked us if we were the first timer , once he know we are indeed the first timer , he gave us detailed infos on how the restaurant operate and he lead us to a comfortable booth . The second host came over and with smiles and she took over five mintunues explaining to us how to order on the menu , what kind of seafoods the restaurant offer and she even gave us recommendations on the most pupular items . Our server Jared is polite and attentive and refill our drinks constantly . We ordered the Gumbo Soup and two lbs Canjun shrimp ,with potato and corn . The Gumbo soup is full of seafood flavours with shrimp and mashed sausages. The combination of the soup is perfect in taste and satisfying in contents . The Canjun style shrimp is just fantastic and amazing . Of the blend of spices , of the combinations of seasoning , of the extra juiciness , we lost our self in enjoying the delicious shrimps that are so tender , full of flavours . I can't help licking my fingers for that magic and tasty juicy . Don't judge us the messiness , it is deliciously Messy . I am very satisfied with the whole dining experiences , the wait to dine in is less than 10 mins ; the hosts and servers are well trained and polite . I enjoyed the inside the environments that is cozy , spacious and welcoming . We left this wonderful restaurant with full satisfications , not just our stomaches , but full experiences . I can't wait to go back and try other items .

The worst thing about the experience was the wait. Other then that food was delicious and service was amazing. Josh was an excellent server. It was my first time there and he was very patient n knowledgeable when explaining the menu. Will be back for sure.

I am writing to express my utmost disappointment and frustration with the recent order I placed at your establishment. On 6/10, I ordered a 6-pack of oysters to go, expecting a delectable treat to enjoy. However, upon opening the package, I was dismayed to find that one of the oysters was completely empty, containing no meat whatsoever. To say that this experience was underwhelming would be an understatement. As a loyal customer who has frequently patronized your restaurant, I have always appreciated the quality and freshness of your seafood offerings. Unfortunately, this incident has left a bitter taste in my mouth, quite literally. I genuinely hope that my feedback will be taken constructively, as my intention is to see your restaurant succeed. I have always appreciated the overall experience at your establishment, which is why this particular incident has left me deeply disappointed. I trust that you will address this issue promptly and take the necessary steps to prevent such occurrences in the future. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely,

Food here is always great. Came here to celebrate my birthday. Service was a bit rough this time around. We were told our table would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes, but almost ended up taking 30 minutes. The had forgot to bring out the main seasoning sides with our food. The server also forgot to bring out the knife to cut the cake. We ended up cutting it with a fork. She then asked us if we needed a knife after we were almost done with the cake. Now the parking lot does tend to get a bit hectic. It becomes a bit difficult to find parking do to how many businesses share the lot. Aside from the service and parking the food is really great and always taste delicious.

Food was delicious!! The only reason why I don’t give a 5 stars ⭐️ it’s because service was rude towards us, when the lady came to out table with our food she was naming each of our plates but since she had a mask on we couldn’t understand her, and I said sorry what? Like two times, and I just ended up saying it was my order and then she just threw the bag literally in front of me. I still have her tip tho but no need to throw the things …

This place is my favorite! I get the whole sha-bang medium spice level every time. A pound of shrimp and add corn and potatoes. I love the corn because when it gets soaked in the sauce, it is super flavorful. I don’t mind getting down and dirty with seafood. This is a real grub place with fresh seafood. I love that this place provides limes and the salt/pepper containers to squeeze lime juice in. Boiling crab also has the best Cajun and/or lemon pepper wings. They are hot in temperature and very flavorful! Their fried calamari are great! Personally, I am not a fan of a bunch of fried breading, so they do a really great balance of giving you actual calamari rings to eat! Their Cajun fries are always a must and I always make them at least medium. They are pretty light on their seasoning spice on the fries. But I love spicy food! I really enjoy this place a lot! Probably the biggest seafood lover!

We spent over $200 in take out... to be fair, the snow crab legs were good but just pricey... $42/lb (used to pay less than $20/lb before the pandemic in 2019). The shrimp was "mushy", technically "not fresh" and it was very disappointing. It is the first time we order in this location, never encountered such mishap before in the chain. Downtown Los Angeles (Wilshire), Rosemead, Orange, etc.. Hope they take seriously our review to improve or avoid this in future.

First time there was great the food was great the service was great the waiters were great even the girls in front that took your your name down they were great and I give them a fight because their food was excellent thank you

The boiling crab restaurant never fails to make me happily full. Their whole-shabang sauce is great. Some shrimp, some lobster, some crab, side of rice, side of corn, side of sweet potato fries, side of garlic fries and extra sauce always does the job for me. Their prices are slightly above other restaurants but that’s okay for the taste. Also the experience of eating straight from the bag never fails me. Eating in a messy way without worrying about the cleaning 😃. Overall i highly suggest for people who are new to Southern California and for tourists, it is a must experience.

Great experience! Definitely recommend getting on the waitlist virtual before heading to the restaurant. Once arrived I was quickly seated and had Jorge as my server and he was very attentive and always checking up on me and did a wonderful job.

Great staff makes the food and experience so much better! Attentive staff. The hostess proactively and quickly fixed an error, as we were a party of 8. She noticed, that other parties were moving a head of us. Liz is an excellent server. Attention to detail, enthusiastic attitude, and provided a great experience. Great place, excellent staff, great food.

Everything was fresh, and the service was awesome. Got seated right away. Everyone was very friendly. Went for my son's birthday and all the food was delicious. Had a great experience and the food was worth the money I spent. Will come again soon 🙂

I loved this place. Great setup, theme and food. The idea is very simple, and executed perfectly. You can get all kinds of shellfish, and similar food. Order by the pound, pick your seasoning and fixings, then they bring it to you in a bag to chow down on. Super messy with all of the butter and fish juices, so if you don't like seeing or feeling whole shrimp/crayfish and such, then this would not be for you.

Ordered over $250 of food when they opened for a 5pm pickup. They took my credit card number and asked me to call back at 4:25pm to confirm. I called and when I arrived at 5pm, nothing was done to my order other than having it on a piece of paper. Manager was laughing at me for being distraught over food not being ready for daughter's 18th birthday party. No apologies at all and kept changing excuse on why food wasn't prepared or even placed into the system. Took over 20 min to get our food even though the manager said he'll rush the order and it'll be done in 10 min. About half of the shrimp were mushy/not fresh. Everything other than the shrimp were bland.

Amazing experience! Shout out our server Jorge with house warming service and Danny with the utmost care to see if everything was alright. Not just these two but everyone within the establishment. Very attentive!! Food was immaculate. my fav was the fried soft shelled crab! Delicious!!! And everything else was up to par. Definitely a revisit when we're in town!

Good food. Tried the shrimp and clam here. Lauren was our server she was very polite and patient while explaining the whole menu..It was very nice and she recommended some sauces on shrimp and clam. Even the micheladas were good..It was very nice i loved the food over here. I will definitely come back with my friends and family.

The service was great. Food was tasty and flavorful. Seafood was fresh. The place is big, great for a big group. They even offered to keep our birthday cake in their refrigerator and brought it out when we were done with our food. We came at 1 pm on Sunday and the parking was easy.

Have been wanting to try a place like this for quite a while and decided to make the trip out from Riverside. Worth the two hour wait for sure. Food was amazing and Jorge took care of me and my little family. Definitely coming back

my GF loved the crab‼️ I loved the beer and everything else, meaning: shrimp, oysters on the shell, and the service by the staff‼️ this place gets crowded for all reasons listed above; be prepared for the wait to be seated, especially during prime dining hours . . . 👀

I simply loved it The eating with my hands a portion served in a clear thin plastic bag, where the shrimps were drenched with an amazing sauce that I used for the lobster as well Makes me make my weakly destination, Wait! I forgot about the bill. Let's make biweekly ❤️ It's not too expensive for the quality and if you don't eat a lot But if you are going there to have my experience, bring another belly with you, You can have lots of food thrown in front of you on the table, literally on a sheet of paper that covers the entire table, no plates, no forks, just the food and your hands I loved it, I'm sure you will love it too

Loved it! Amazing food and pretty good service. I've been to many boiling Crabs and let me tell you this one by far is the best! Love it here and hope to be back soon.
