Love boiling crab and their spicy micheladas. The shrimp is delicious and they also have good sides read more

I don't even know where to begin. I ordered 3lbs crawfish and 1lb crab leg my total came out to $76.00. The crawfish were overcooked and tasted old and terrible. I was charged $33 for a snow crab that literally had THREE legs and a claw and hardly no meat in it at all. I have never been so disappointed in my life. A total rip off for the whole meal. Never again! I wish I could call their corporate office!! read more

Update : the manager of the store reached out and handled it very professionally and admirable. Love the boiling crab again

I don't eat seafood or spicy food and even I can say this place is good. Their corn on the cob is amazing!!! I ordered the sauce mix of all flavors and that stuff is crack!!!! I was addicted. They will put your seafood, or potatoes, or corn in the bag with whichever sauce you order and it is a flavor explosion! Again, I don't eat seafood so I ordered chicken wings and fries with corn on the cob (which came in the flavor bag). All tasted great!!!! Corn on the cob - 10/10 Fries- 10/10 Wings - 8-9/10 **I went to the Burbank location. ** Parking - there are a few garages around. If the closest one is full, park and walk from the mall garage. Street meters also available. Service - The wait is LONG. Plan ahead. Get yourself on a waitlist if it's available. Servers were nice. Prices - expensive market prices. Typical seafood prices. All the seafood lovers i was with said the prices are worth it. The regular menu option prices are reasonable. Some seafood options sell out. Call ahead. Cleanup - they have a sink for you to wash hands because with all that sauce it gets messy. The sink is outside of the restroom which is great because you don't have to wait in a line. Location - (Burbank) within a mini mall area with other restaurants, movie theatre, dessert options and nearby stores . Depending on day it may be lively with street musicians playing and things to keep you entertained while you wait. read more

if you dont like spicy food get the mild or the medium its super good but the spicy one is super super spicy

Definitely must try place for seafood lovers. The Cajun butter sauce is amazing and the price is fair. Definitely family oriented and very busy during the weekend. The service is always great and the ambiance is loud and fun read more

If I could give boiling crab one hundred stars I would. As a boiling crab fanatic that's been to every location, I noticed that boiling crab staff are just superior human beings who are beautiful inside and out. They tie your bibs for you so you can reconnect with your deprived, neglected inner child. They refill your water cups asap even though they're covered in the amazing goodness of what is called the shabangbang sauce. No need for banging in your life when you can have the shabangbang am I right? Every time I get a spoon full of that sauce with a fat shrimp it's like I'm reborn again and experience endless euphoria. Get the gumbo and eat it with rice. Also the potatoes and sausage addition is elite. You're welcome ;) read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! I've been to few boiling crabs in different cities and I've always had great service my husband and I agree this was the worst experience we've ever had. I walked in exactly at 1:00pm and there were two girls in the counter where one typically signs in they were having a conversation and laughing one looked at me and continued the conversation I stood there 2-3 mins waiting to sign in. When she asked what I needed she was really rude I said can I sign in for two she said okay they would text me and she said "let me know when you get the text" I stood there waiting they continued the convo until I got the text let her know I did receive it, I wasn't acknowledge they continued laughing out loud so I walked out. Later i got the text saying my table would be ready soon to go the front counter my husband and I walked over and both same girls were still at the counter. One was assisting someone the other was using the tablet to put on her lipgloss and again didn't acknowledge us. We then were walked over to our table and a server Natalie was assisting us. Initially from the start when she took our order she seemed annoyed or bothered when our food came out she brought it over didn't check on us one time we were waiting on ketchup for what seemed like 20 minutes we asked another server who was assisting the table right next to us who brought us the ketchup. We also ordered a rice never received it let Natalie know she seemed bothered to have to fix it. Honestly so terrible and such an awkward experience. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Absolutely love this place! We've been here a handful of times and every time we're here the service and food are great. The Yelp app is very useful for checking in ahead of time. Also, it's centrally located to many shops if you need some time to kill. read more

Love it the food Chicken TendersWhole Shebang Shrimp and I can't wait to go again love food

Shebang! The best flavor!!!! It was worth the 1-1/2 hour wait! The atmosphere is great, people with bibs everywhere you look! Lol loved it!!! Highly recommend. read more

The food is always perfect can never complain especially when they go all out in preparation for my birthday with all my family present. It made it taste even more delicious!!! read more

Love this place. I usually go to this one unless I'm closer to Woodland Hills. Typically get the crawfish and shrimp mix with the whole shabang medium. I will say beware of going late night though as I feel like the sauce tastes a bit more watered down. read more

I'm only writing this review about an amazing server, Jenny. She was phenomenal. From the moment we were seated, Jenny greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. Her recommendations were spot on. read more

Best Sea boil honestly recommend the best place to eat worth wait time will not be disappointed

Idk why I have never reviewed Boiling Crab but here we are! Let's be COMPLETELY honest about BC . The quality and taste of everything is WORTH the Money. They will usually be out of at least one thing and sometimes as many as 3 or 4 depending when you go! This is their biggest flaw of course along with a somewhat high price but add in all the fun of getting messy and hanging out with your friends with bibs on and it definitely equals out to trying it at least once or on a day when you feeling the wealth !! read more

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

The food and service is great. Their wait time is always really long, but definitely worth it!

The boiling crab does not disappoint, ever. You also gotta be ready to eat with your hands and potentially get some whole shabang sauce in your eyes, you've been warned! When we were able to dine-in, we were able to check into the waiting list via the yelp app, but you still must check in with the host upon arrival and by a certain time. As with any Boiling Crab location, the Burbank one is equally busy but is actually pretty big. I appreciate the sinks located outside of the restroom, because sometimes all you would like to do is wash your hands before and after a meal. My go to order is always 1 lb of shrimp, whole shabang triple x spice level: I also like to order Cajun fries medium spice. If you get corn in the XXX spice level, it can be overwhelming, so I'd recommend to separate it. Parking is free in Burbank and mostly easy in the structures. They do not seat parties unless everyone is present. read more

The Boiling Crab - Whole shabang Triple x lb of shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Burbank, California

It was a great meal. My margarita was yummy! The choices were many, however, thanks to my son, he helped make the selections. The choices of how you want your shrimp, fish, seafood prepared according to spiciness is unbelievable. The shrimp and crab were delicious. The presentation of the meal is brought out in a plastic bag which you can dump onto your table. Finger eating food, so take a trip to baño and wash your hands. We chose first available table which turned out to be outside which was perfect! There was a Michael Jackson impersonator/singer on the promenade. It was a nice free entertainment bonus. I highly recommend dining at this location. read more

Service was awful!! My family and I used to love going here, but I suppose all good things really do come to an end. We had a problem once before but gave them another chance, but this last visit it wasn't the food that was bad it was the service. I have never in my life had to argue with a server, and been made to feel like I was stealing something.... Over condiments! Yes CONDIMENTS!!! Her tone was terrible she was condescending, and when we even tried to suggest that maybe we got off on the wrong foot she wasn't having it (at one point she even said she could decide how much of everything we needed). When we eventually talked with the manager he tried to explain why it was such a problem to gives us a few more it still wasn't making any sense. The whole this was ridiculous and unnecessary. I can't believe all of that over condiments!!! So needless to say we won't be returning again. read more

Food and service is always great. The wait time is usually the only thing that is the problem but for me it's worth the wait.

It's been a couple years that I haven't came to boiling crab and lucky enough they had open one in Burbank . I was so excited aboutt it . So I finally came out to try it. The wait time wasn't long , the server had great customer service the food came fast too.. so I order a pound of shrimP with the whole Shabang xxhot with potatoes, corn And extra sauce , we also got calamari rings .. so here's why I gave them 3 stars the sauce actually what sauce it was thickness of seasoning I couldn't even taste the wwhole shabang even my side of sauce was to thick ..I was honestly so disappointed or is cause I haven't came in years and I usually go to difffrent spot.. read more

If you like to waste money on bad service, poor quality food and small servings for the price, come here. The below came to over $72, which I picked up and took home - I ended up still being hungry, after eating the shrimp & oysters, even after having a snack at home: 1) Shrimp - over-cooked and still had heads and shells -- after removing, had maybe a dozen shrimp --- from the shrimp being over-cooked, the shells were very difficult to peel off, which resulted in losing more of the meat that got stuck to the shell 2) Corn on the cob - one small single piece... 3) Sausage - was fine 4) Snow Crab Legs - wanted without sauce and was told if I wanted the sauce on the side, instead, that it would be $4.50 extra, which I went ahead and paid for... -- also didn't provide any utensils 5) Fried Oysters - I live 5 minutes from this restaurant but this part of my food was ice cold and flavorless read more

Love this place. Compare to other places this one is always fairly priced. Friendly staff and fast service.

Food is really good and service is excellent as well. Even though it's pretty packed they work their best to be fast but also not lose the quality of service read more

Boiling crab never disappoints, however, s didn't get my usual and decided to get King crab and it was over cooked. I typically get the shrimp, white rice, Cajun fries, mussels and my partner gets the sha bang bang shrimp which is her favorite and they get it right every time. I'll stick to what I know and enjoy going forward read more

This place is delicious if you are into seafood. The sauce is spice-filled and yummy. Although I mostly order shrimp as my seafood choice, I love that they also have other seafood options such as crab, lobster, mussels and even crawfish (a seasonal item). They have a few sauce options but I would advise you to choose the "Whole Sha-Bang!" It is a combination of all the sauces together. My favorite dish is the typical pound of shrimp with the "Whole Sha-Bang" sauce and white rice on the side (you can put some of the sauce on the white rice) and BOOM, you will thank me later! haha Also, the service is great and the wait time, at least for the time we would go, has been quite reasonable. Finally, some would say to order for pick-up, but honestly, I would dine-in (prior to the quarantine) because the experience of having messy hands and digging in with a group of friends can lead to a good laugh. For those that do not want to get your hands dirty, you can ask for gloves. Although it has been some time since I have eaten here, I would gladly return when we are able to dine-in again. read more

Awesome shrimp for a good price customer service was amazing and fast. Only problem is getting a table it took us 45 minutes

The Boiling Crab Burbank's actually a nice place. Dinnertime has lines, but not lunchtime. It was almost a full house too. Everybody was friendly: waitstaff to customers. I ordered the shrimp gumbo for here. They recommended hot wings or potatoes & corn. I was fine with just the vegetable stock shrimp gumbo because it came with rice. However, people eat here... "Like don't mess with me because I'm busy eating and enjoying my seafood boil". They traditional seafood boils come with choice of seafood, 2 sausages, corn and potatoes. I didn't want the sausage, but it's a must. Traditional . So, I ordered just the mild shrimp to go for dinner tonight. No dessert on the menu. However, alcohol is a welcomed offering. They have regular beverages too. Prices competitive to marketplace seafood. The gumbo was fantastic. The flavor mellowed with 1/2 lime squeezed in... read more

Where's the butter? And what's up with the menu not showing prices? So we came here after an afternoon AMC movie (Dunkirk, go check it out - BUT, no matinee pricing after 12 noon... everything is being cut back). Primo location with good seating. Wait was tolerable at 6pm Saturday Pro - the shrimp was fresh. Like, Chinese restaurant live shrimp type of fresh. The meat was springy and there was a slightly sweet flavor you can only get when something isn't deep sixed for several months. Good job on that. The limes were very juicy which is good. Two lime halves were more than enough for a pound of shrimp. The hot sauce was quite good, slightly sweet finish to it. Con - half the menu was "market price." I get that for the high dollar items (Dungeness crab), but even the shrimp is market price? But then other menu items have prices. Then why not print any prices at all and then use a chalk board for the prices? The fried oysters looked sad and deflated. The already small basket was half empty. And the menu was misleading - didn't come with fries. We took one look, returned it (fries or no comp'ed fries), and ordered another pound of shrimp. The garlic butter sauce is getting weak, less butter than before. It's almost like they are trying to make this health food by adding less butter. What gives? Dinner for two was about $70. Three star experience. Keep focusing on shrimp quality, but fix your sad looking fried oysters (and put some butter back into the sauce!) read more

Bought crab legs for myself and it was $40.00+, it's just 2 long legs and extra sauce! I got the whole shebang sauce. Anyway I don't recommend this place. Sauce is overrated and overpriced! The sauce taste like powder of different spices! Yuck! I will go back to my favorite crab place which is in Santa Clarita called "Crab Mentality" which way better sauce and less expensive! I get the mild sauce which is called "crab mentality" sauce or cm. Taste is way better, like a natural delicious sauce not fake sauce! read more

Love this Boiling Crab location! The space is bigger than the one in Koreatown, the lines aren't as long, plus you can put your name down through the Yelp Waitlist so you don't have to wait around for your table. The food is just as good as the other location. The only thing that's really changed is the price. Back when I first discovered the BC, shrimp was $9.99 per lbs now it's about $14, king crab legs were $19 now they're at $29 per lbs. My favorites are still the cajun fries, fried oysters, oysters on the half shell, and shrimp or crab whole sha-bang mild. Parking is free and pretty easy. The main lot by the promenade is usually full. Just park in the lot next to Pampas Grill across the street. read more

Oh man! It's been awhile since I've had a seafood boil and this definitely was a great way to start back up again. When we arrived (Thursday at 6:30PM), we didn't have to wait and was seated pretty quickly. They had asked us if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We decided to stay inside but did regret not eating outside later on since it was a bit chilly inside (next time forsure). I ordered the Kids Chicken Tenders for my two year old and she enjoyed most of the fries with a few bites of the chicken. Then my husband ordered a half pound of shrimp, snow crab legs, and lobster with the whole shabang. The sauce was a bit spicy for him but he still enjoyed all of it! As for me... I ordered a sweet tea, a half pound of shrimp with garlic sauce, and a lobster with lemon pepper sauce... non spicy for both of them since I have a sensitive tongue. -1 Star: My sis in law ordered the half pound of shrimp as well and they had a mix up and gave us the same bag with the non spicy sticker on both of them but she ordered spicy! We were trying to figure out which was what but the server just told us that one of them is supposed to be spicy and the other isn't. We were so hungry by that point that we just started eating. I didn't even get to ask my sister if hers was spicy or not because mine seemed fine. Once we all started eating, we all got quiet from just enjoying our food so much. The restaurant was clean, servers were attentive, & the food came out at a timely manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and will most likely come back very soon!! read more

Services is trash. We got seated, gave them our order, and didn't see them again till 15 mins later. They got all our orders wrong and forgot to give us our drinks. My order was given cold and another person in my group was given a wrong order. A manager was called and he came in with attitude. After I explain what happen and then asked for my order to be removed from my tab, he grabbed my bag of food and stormed off. After that our table never saw another server till I had to ask a runner too get my check. Forgot to mention my shrimp was under cooked in a room temp bag that was given to me. read more

boiling crab we're married, always a 1000/10 experience & service is so quick and amazing

I luckily realized they were now open, after leaving a movie; they've been open a week now. Crowds are there, but not what they WILL be soon, so go get you some short-line cajun while you can! This trip I was solo, so decided to try other menu items I had not ordered before, the Gumbo and the Wings. Order the Gumbo w rice and extra shrimp, so was a little surprised the cup wasn't very full and only had about 4 shrimp, but overall, it had good flavor and spice. Not the best ever, but good. I requested my wings "She-Bang" style like you can order the seafood doused in, but was told that was not an option. The dry-rub spice is the same as the Cajun fries, but in a more concentrated amount. I got the medium, and unless you like very hot flavors, this is more than enough spice to suit your needs. That being said, I'd like to have the "She-bang" option next time I go. The entire crew was extremely professional and top notch and my server, Erica, was very very good. read more

Today, Wednesday. I only got 6 shrimp for my half lbs order. My friend also had half a pound as well, but she had 11 shrimp. I brought up only 6 shrimp because it was so little. My friend didn't sit there and count her shrimp until after when I was done eating, waiting for her to finish. I brought it up to the sever how it was weird she had double the shrimp . She said it's 8-12 depending on size. She said I shouldn't have gotten 6. The manager came up and asked us what our problem was with the food, but it seemed like she was bothered by us as approaching the table. We didn't even ask 4 a manager. Anywayyyyy she was like, "You should have said something before you ate it." Lady, we didn't even know it wasn't supposed to be like that till later. She offered me more shrimp, but we were all packed and ready to go, hands washed and everything. So I denied that offer. Anyway, it wasn't cool. Everyone count your shrimp they will skimp you. read more

Food was great. service was fantastic. everything was fresh and i will be returning soon! Irwin had excellent customer service.
