Best Shrimp I've ever had, have tasted different restaurants but nothing comes close to Boiling Crab..indoor eating has a long wait so I always do pick up...I go with the basic Shrimp ,med spicy the whole shebang and it's very tasty..now imagine with the whole corn and extra stuff they offer YUUUMMMM ? !!!

Compared to other Boiling Crab locations, it lacks flavor. It is not a competition, but if it was the Bristol and McArthur locations would be running laps around this one. Not worth the almost 2 hr wait to be seated.

All of the waiters we're so nice ? and the simple fries were so good and they even but the plastic thingy on for you

Got a pound of shrimp in the whole schabang sauce with a side of rice and chicken tenders. The sauce is super good and spicy and the shrimp was nice and hot. The rice at the end and perfect to pour all the cause onto it.I will say you’ll need to peel the shrimp and it will burn your fingers a bit so be prepared

Ordered off of ubereats. I was skeptical because I had eaten at another location before and it wasn’t the best, lack of sauce, because the sauce brings it all together. But, this time, amazing. So happy with what we got, so sad I got full and couldn’t eat it all. It was still hot, good packaging, plenty of sauce, and even got extra dips! Definitely ordering from here again for my next seafood craving!!

Best shrimp ever. Service took more than normal. We waited obe hour and forty minutes to be seated. Too long but very worth it.

Viet Cajun done right! We have visited this location more than 10 times this year, always consistent great service. If you are visiting, you will need to check in with phone number and name at the front. VERY busy on fridays and weekends, and party must be with you at time of seating or you will be passed up. Visit on weekdays if you can. We usually get the Shrimp, “whole-she-bang” style which includes spices, garlic and butter. Definitely get some corn cobs in the bag and don’t forget Cajun or lemon pepper fries! If you love rice, get a side of rice and it will not disappoint.

I love the boiling crab.. but location take to long to get services.. I know the location is small and the services need to be faster ..45 min to go inside and 45 min. To get services Nd 15 min. To get drink.. but the services from the guys is great.. just the time

The garlic sauce is amazing, it's very rich so take it easy. I have been here twice and the food tasted like the last time. Fresh and ready to order. The plastic bags make a lot of sense too. eating here is messy but it's not like any other experience.

AMAZING FOOD , GREAT ATMOSPHERE
