Really warm and friendly The food was fine, but honestly not much to write home about. We had the special of the day ceviche. Not a lot of flavor. But good. Peruvian scallops. The garnish was nice. I wish the pistachios were chopped a bit. Kinda made you think you had eaten a stone in the shell since it was a whole pistachio. The lobster roll was pretty disappointing. Not a lot of lobster, the fries looked great.. but tasted "stale" I had the Cioppino.. all the seafood in it was overcooked, the broth kinda bitter and muddled The bread served was prolly the highlight. Service/atmosphere: 5 stars Food: 3 stars So overall 4 stars. Will be back just bc the space is a nice space. Maybe we just ordered wrong this time.

Calamari- Served hot and fresh. Crispy outside with a light chewiness in the middle. The batter is flavorful and it's served with a variety of tasty sauces. Fish and Chips- The fish is fresh and juicy. The batter is well-seasoned and delightfully browned outside. It came with crispy fries and coleslaw that added a brightness to every bite. Great experience overall!

I've ordered to-go from this place a couple times, especially when they have BOGO deals on Uber…read moreEats. Pick-up is always seamless and they have a self-service shelf with all utensils, sauces, boxes etc. The food is decent. It's definitely not going to blow your socks off but it gets the job done when you are in a pinch and makes you feel better about yourself than going to In-n-Out across the street. I have tried the salmon plate and chicken kabob plate and the serving size is just about right for one person. They have a nice outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. I would never pay $16+ full price for this plate but if you can snag a deal like BOGO it's not bad.

once again read my other reviews for the full experience of this restaurant. Do keep in mind this…read moreis a chain but every location has slightly different menus given they are all about fresh and seasonal. On top of that the menu changes every couple of months, which for me is nice because every time I come here I experience something a little different. Do keep in mind this particular location I've been here enough now that I notice some patterns. there's going to be a seasonal fish that is featured. There's also going to be some kind of stuffed mushroom which I like because I like mushrooms. They always have scallops which are always cooked to perfection. I often order that added on to the entree. There will be at least one steak dish and a chicken and a pork dish. they always feature on the appetizers the lump crab cake. it is what it sounds like, a large lump of crab that is breaded. To me it's not a true crab cake but rather a lump of fresh crab that's breaded and fried. It's ok if you're in to that. The one dish I was curious enough to try today was their Kona crusted lamb loin. I don't usually order lamb unless it's an Indian or middle eastern restaurant. I like lamb but it's not exactly something I crave. so how they explained it was that the Kona was basically using coffee grounds as a dry rub on the meat. So I got curious and ordered it. The grounds basically add a slightly different texture and adds a slight bitterness. Sort of like char from a grill. It was ok and interesting but what stood out the most was the fact that the meat was so perfectly cooked and so flavorful and tender that it overpowered whatever the grounds added to the meat. so I would recommend this solely on the basis of how perfectly tender and flavorful the meat was.

Could use some seasoning, but edible) Brussel sprouts: 0 stars. Bacon had zero flavor. The brussel sprouts were practically raw and very hard. Pork Chop: 0 stars. We cut into the chop and saw pink. Pink doesn't mean undercooked, but after a couple of bites of small pieces we confirmed it was under. Cooper (great guy by the way) took it back to the chef and they confirmed it was under. I am only writing this review because my partner and I woke up with stomach issues. Just be careful. We just had some bad luck. We ended up going to In n Out afterwards. The manager stopped by to check on us which is appreciated which is nice. They could have gone a step further in ensuring we are ok after consuming undercooked pork but ‍. I don't even think they provided their name when they visited the table. Anyway be careful and don't give Cooper a hard time

Heard they have the best lobster roll in the nation so of course, the little food critic that I am…read morehad to come check this place out for myself. They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

But the food and customer service received at this location was incredible. We ordered the fried catfish basket, the whole sha-bang medium shrimp and corn and potatoes. The shrimp was bomb. We always order a xxx sauce on the side so that everyone in the party can enjoy the meat without it being too spicy. The catfish comes out piping hot. The fries are always on point. The service was also on point. We had people checking in on us a good amount of times and grabbing what we needed quickly.

I haven't been to Boiling Crab in nearly 10 years. Back when it was really hyped and trendy. It was…read moretime to try it again. Me and my wife arrived on a Sunday around 3:30 PM. We put our name down on the Yelp waitlist and the wait for a party of 2 was maybe 90 min. Essentially if you go anytime on the weekend expect to wait at least an hour. There is no such thing as "off times" on the weekend. Evidently Boiling Crab is still as popular as ever. We didn't mind waiting. Once our number was next we were promptly seated. First thing I noticed was how great the service was from the host, to the waiters, to the helpers. We ordered shrimp and Cajun fries. Shrimp is $18/pound and it is the only seafood you can order by the half-a-pound. After ordering the food came out in less than 10 min. Besides the initial wait, everything else about the dining experience was very efficient, which tells me the long waits are not a fault to slow service. I think they are being as efficient as they can. The dining experience was pleasant. They supply bibs, gloves, etc for easy clean-up. There are TVs showing sports. We were out of there at $45 for two. A pretty good deal considering the unique dining experience. I can see why Boiling Crab remained popular after all these years.

My go-to order is a pound of Kickin Style Shrimp $21/lbs, Cajun Fries ($6.99), Sweet Potato Fries ($8.49), and one corn ($2.25). This location is consistent with their flavors and portions. The service is always friendly and attentive. I also love that it is never crowded during weekend lunch time.
