For those who dislike spicy heat, please note that this dish will be quite spicy due to the Cajun seasoning, even if ordered without added chili peppers. read more

good service and good staff working always checking up on clients, the food comes in on time!

first time visiting boiling crab with my bf, it was a fun experience! our server was attentive and recommended us what to order since we were a bit hesitant. I like to sit outside where there was less noise and was also able to see the main walkway at Burbank plaza. good experience overall. do not get the michelada tho!!! it's really bad, they add so much spice which makes it very unpleasant to drink. read more

The Boiling Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

The restaurant was crazy loud due to, what sounded like, the thrashing noise of the ventilation system. The large, factory-like dining hall reverberberated with music, loud conversations, scraping metal chairs over the concrete floor, and of course, the mechanical ventilation system. The food was okay, but some in our party thought that the scallops were just a bit undercooked. The menu items, other than boiled crab and corn on the cob served in a plastic bag of butter, were mostly deep-fried. Wait staff were very attentive and pleasant. read more

We went right when they opened and were seated right away. We were greeted by a gentleman by the name of Jed and right from the start, he was personable and extremely attentive. We immediately put in our drink order (a beer and four waters) and within minutes, they were at our table. Love me an ice cold beer! We continued to order food which included one pound bag of shrimp with the whole shebang and two corn on the cobs. The kids opted to share a chicken finger basket with regular fries and a side of sweet potato fries. Everything came out quickly and was hot and fresh. I can't recommend the whole shebang flavor enough! It's the perfect flavor! Jed also recommended the rewards program and were well on our way on getting our first reward. Thank you so much! read more

The food is great, I end up going into flow state and devouring everything in front of me, and the waitress was super nice and explained everything to me and my gf, it was our first time there and she was super helpful. I like the place it's really unique I really like the concept of the food on the table, and even though it can be expensive it's worth the experience. Worst michelada I've ever tasted tho. read more

I ask my husband to buy food to go at Boiling crab, normally we get an all shebang seafood, today, they recommend this no head shrimp, so, he said, why not, but the shrimp is like your eating a rubber. And the sauce is like a boiling water with garlic and u can see that they did not put anything on it. So disappointing . Its lousy, no taste, the shrimp is Rubbery. This is the second time that i am so disappointed with what i got. Hope you will not prosper. read more

Very disappointing visit but customer service was wonderful. The shrimp felt old and shell fish was tiny and chewy with barely any sauce coating them. The best thing were the fries. read more

The Boiling Crab - Best thing here were the fries - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

The Burbank location is usually pretty crowded so this time I decided to place a pickup order over the phone. The process was quick and easy, they took my order and let me know it would be ready in about 20 minutes. I received a text when it was ready! I ordered 1 pound of shrimp and fries and both were really good! I appreciated that they included bibs, limes, and butcher paper with the to-go order which made it easy to enjoy at home. They forgot the salt and pepper but it wasn't a big deal since I had some at home. The customer service was great over the phone and in-person. It's located by the AMC and there are different eateries in the area. read more

A fun ambience, love crawfish from my Louisiana days and so I couldn't resist. Delicious but you need a lot to have your fill! Glad I got corn to go with it - should have had 3-4 1/2 cobs and not just one!! Remember to wear appropriate clothing or you WILL get messy. I hadn't plan to go here and so I was wearing a dress shirt (dumb!!!!) but luckily they provide bibs and gloves but the crawfish are so slippery the gloves are not very helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful but ordering is a real challenge - but we did it. Maybe 30% of my crawfish were a good size but the majority were so small it was virtually impossible to get the meat out and remove the intestines (esp with gloves) and actually have something left to eat. Maybe I'll try the crab next time? Yes we will be back read more

Their margarine is dairy free! Super crowded, but wait time was under 30 mins. Mgr was so friendly and understanding. She came to speak to me about the allergy beforehand and then a second time around when I had a question about the margarine. She took a picture of the ingredients so I could confirm. Shout out to her for that! Plenty of seating and very lively. Servers are quick and friendly here. read more

The Boiling Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

Good spot to chill eat seafood and socialize, I always come here when I'm craving some of the best calamari or muscles.

The best time to come here is right about when they open. There is a wait but it is not longer than 15 minutes for sure. Boiling Crab is always a good idea whenever we want to eat seafood. Service was alright at this location, had to remind the servers at least twice to follow up on missing orders. We were also a bit disappointed because we when we ordered mussels, there were a lot of just the shells without the meat inside the bag. Hoping for a better experience next time at this location. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and it was PACKED, so I definitely recommend joining the online waitlist ahead of time. Big space with indoor and outdoor seating. Jess, our server, was amazing! Super attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. We ordered the 2 lb shrimp with the Whole Shabang sauce (mild), and it never disappoints. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was as flavorful as always. Pretty good experience and definitely a spot I'd com back to! read more

The Boiling Crab - Shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

Midweek boiling crab to help get me to Friday! Yes please! Came by and got a pound of shrimp head on and a pound of snow crab. This place always hits. Big fan of the whole shabang sauces. Servers here are always quick and polite. Bathroom is kind of small considering it's a restaurant that is literally always packed. If I could make one recommendation, this place NEEDS outside heaters. When I have ate outside here you feel the wind and if it's cold outside it makes for a brutal experience not faint for the weak! I'm sure the propane for the heaters wouldn't hurt the budget too bad and it'll possibly help with wait times. Most people prefer to eat inside leaving the patio empty later in the nights due to the weather. Just advice. Join the waitlist on yelp to reduce waiting in person! read more

The Boiling Crab - Messy combo it comes with 3 eggs and ate all the eggs ahhahahaha - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

Absolutely delicious. If you haven't been, and love seafood, it's a must visit. Casual dining, with option of indoor or outdoor seating. Easy to order, pick your items, pick your sauce, and pick your level of spice. Crabs range from $44 to $90 a lb depending on blue crab, snow crab, or king crab. Ranges usually from 1.5 lbs to 3 lbs. I ordered 1 lb each of shrimp, clams, crawfish. I added corn, potatoes, sausage links. A lot of flavors deeply infused into the seafood. I had plenty left over to take home for a second meal. Sign up for their loyalty program for $10 off next visit. Service was great. Our waitress checked in often, brought us refill drinks, etc. read more

This is my updated review after finally eating and waiting in queue for almost 2 hours this bust past Friday. I ordered the gumbo with rice and the fried shrimp basket. My wife daughter and our friend got the snow crab lobster sausage and potatoes shrimp muscles in the whole shebang sauce mix mild and an order of the oysters. The food was great worth the wait and price. Service was quick and friendly very attentive. The place was nice and clean though we did sit at the outside tables. Everything was great until some passerby's made some comments towards me thankfully my wife didn't notice since I ignored them. The fried shrimp was juicy and not over cooked. I got the lemon pepper fries with my order and they were good just too salty but it's lemon pepper what can you do about that lol The gumbo was rich and not overly spicy. The seafood we got with the mild whole shebang sauce mix was delicious and not overpowering as you might think it would be considering the 3 sauces it's mixed with. The oysters tasted fresh and were good as no one got sick from eating oyster so that let us know they were fresh. read more

The boiling crab is delicious! The staff is always friendly when I visit or if I call in an order. The women's restroom is small and is clean when I visit.! They do offer a handwashing station outside of the restrooms. The restaurant is clean! The food is well seasoned and I enjoy the gumbo and fried oysters with the sauce. The restaurant can get very busy with wait times up to 45mims but they will text you when your table is ready. This gives you the option to walk around the area nearby. read more

Pretty good and surprisingly for once no wait time!! This is for a Monday evening 6:30pm Group of 6 and we seated quickly. We ordered a couple bags of 1lb shrimp, sweet potatoes fries, lemon, pepper, fries, and fried shrimp plus a side of steamed white rice For flavor, I like to get the whole shabang which is all three of their flavors in one and for spice I get medium it's not too hot, but I give it a good 7 out of 10. This time around the 1 pound bag of shrimp was $18 and FYI it's not deveined so if you don't like to see the line of poop in your shrimp best to avoid now I like to order a side of steamed white rice to soak up all that extra sauce I also like to add lemon and the salt and pepper mix for some extra flavor. The fries we ordered were pretty crispy, and the shrimp batter was very light which made for some nice delicate fried shrimps. All in all you will get full and the price point is fair so put your bib on and dig in! read more

The crawfish was terrible very small size and the shell is too hard. The flavor is good but it will be better in better quality crawfish

Food was delicious as always!! However service this time around was not so great and the restaurant wasn't even busy Servers were rushed and our appetizers and drinks didn't hit the table until the end of the meal which is disappointing. Ambiance isn't anything special but good company and good food make the experience enjoyable!! The hosts up front were very nice and helpful however the servers were not. read more

The Boiling Crab - soft shell crab basket & snow crab legs with sausage corn and potatoes - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

We've visited The Boiling Crab numerous times. The wait time can be extensive, especially on Weekends so be prepared to be there a while. This location offers outdoor seating as well as indoor dining, both are always packed. Indoor dining is a bit noisy but we prefer it. During our recent visit, our waitress let us know they now offer family combos! Finally!! The deals are pretty good so we opted to order 2 'Get Dirty' combos. Surprisingly, the food came out fairly quick. The first platter came out, looked amazing! Second platter came out, looked a little sad. Our waitress happened to be walking by and asked if everything was ok. I mentioned how the platters looked way different. One looked full while the other looked like it was missing shrimp. The waitress agreed and offered to have a manager stop by and look at the platters. When the manager came to the table, she asked what the issue was and I asked why the platters looked so different being that we had ordered the same thing. She tried saying one was a different combo, I reminded her that both were the same. The ONLY thing this manager found appropriate to say was that for every pound of shrimp on the tray, there were between 20-30 shrimp and the tray comes with 2 pounds. Ok.... Thanks?!? Clearly, I know what I ordered. I simply wanted to know why 2 orders of the SAME platter looked so different. Were larger shrimp used for one platter?? Did it maybe have extra shrimp? Is that something that happens often?? Who knows! At least now I know to expect between 20-30 shrimp per pound. I was NOT looking for a discount but I was hoping to receive a better answer. Needless to say, the manager's smart ass answer ruined our dining experience. read more

Although it was a Wednesday, the queue of 30 tables ahead of us was daunting. Yet, it moved swiftly and we were sat within 30 minutes of our projected 30 min wait (total wait of 1 hour). The menu is deliberately limited and offered a range or meat and starch choices. No salads here and vegetarian or vegans would starve. They were out of three major items but we were not surprised as we sat down at 7:45 pm and they had been busy all afternoon. The lemon pepper chicken wings were delightful. The shrimp boiled bag with whole shabang sauce had a nice sauce flavor but the shrimp were extremely mealy. With the head intact and no way to remove the vein, the experience was unpleasant. The cocktails were reasonably (taste, size, and price) and the server (Selena) was truly excellent with high courtesy and multiple check backs. The restaurant was very loud with continuous music of a single genre. read more

We just celebrated my sister birthday here. We are a big party and typically anywhere we go the service is rushed and not the greatest. The food was great.

I've tried many seafood boils but never Boiling crab due to the long waits. But for my wife's bday, we decided to go to the one in Burbank since its closer to my house and hoping the wait wasn't too bad. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and it was packed. Fortunately, the host said the wait was only 20-30 min. We were seated fairly quick and ordered some snowcrab, dungenesscrab, shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, mussels, the whole shebang with the OG mild sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection but the sauce was the kicker. Not too spicy, not too sweet and not too salty. It was so good, I ordered a bowl of rice and mixed it with the sauce. Going back for some more asap. read more

A really nice place good food. Service is perfect too. This guy is really busy. I recommend you call them before you go.

My best friend and I were around the neighborhood and were hungry. We looked through Yelp and decided to try this location out, as we usually stick to the Brookhurst location. It's located in an outdoor shopping center a few minutes walk away from the mall. Tons of restaurants and entertainment were here. It was later in the evening, around 8:30 or so, but there were still many people in the nice summer night. We put our name down and the staff said we should make the cutoff for seating. We walked around for a bit to check out what else was here, then came back and waited to be called. We were seriously tempted by the ice cream across the way - but we didn't give in. After roughly 20 minutes, we were called in and got seated. We opted to sit outside as it was a nice evening. Unfortunately, someone was smoking nearby (one of the other customers?) and made for a very unpleasant situation until they left. Service was fine, food was good and everything came out quickly. Flavorwise, it was on par to other BC I've been to. One star off for the smoking. read more

First time trying the boiling crab, I know so late to the game lol. I ordered a lb of shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. I absolutely loved the corn and potatoes. The sausage was a little too spicy for me. The shrimp was ok the sauce was the Cajun not spicy sauce and it was a little too grainy for me. I think I should have chose mild spicy level too, it seemed on the bland side to me. Service was great, parking is not fun at this location, got creative and parked at the near by mall. Prices are affordable for the sides like corn, potato etc but a little pricy on the proteins so prepare to spend some money. $$$ The lemon pepper fries were the MVP along with the corn. Note: check in as early as possible and you'll get seated in 2-3 hours. There's a fun vendor market going on Friday and Saturday nights so that can keep you busy. read more

Very disappointed with our visit. We waited almost 2 hours, even though there was a table sitting empty for 15-20 minutes with no one being seated. Eventually, they seated us at that exact table - meaning we could have been seated much earlier. During the entire wait, we were stuck in a stuffy waiting area, with no water offered and not even a door opened for some fresh air. Once seated, we had to ask just to get menus. We specifically requested non-spicy food, but it came extremely spicy. The staff insisted it was the mildest level, which was absolutely not true! We've been to this restaurant many times and know what the food should taste like. Our mouths were literally burning, and afterward we had stomach pain. They offered to remake the dish, but what was the point if they believed what we received was already the mildest level of spice? It was already around 11 PM and the restaurant was closing, so waiting another 30 minutes made no sense. We were hungry and had no choice but to eat it. Overall, a very unpleasant experience and no enjoyment at all. read more
