    The food at the Boiling Crab was delicious and delightful! We ordered two pounds of shrimps, King Crab, six potatoes, sausages, and two corns soaked in the Whole Shabang sauce, which is essentially all the sauces combined. The King Crab was top notch. It was a little hard to open, but the crab on the inside paired with the sauce was delicious! The service was superb. Our Jessa taught us how to crack open the King Crab and refilled our provided us with new gloves when the plastic ones broke. This is our favorite seafood boil place and we will be back!

    All I can say is Freaking SPECTACULAR!!! I am a huge seafood boil person and the flavors are amazing! I went with the WHOLE SHABANG it was a mix of all 3 flavors that they have. The service was great, our server Brayden was very attentive! My wife doesn't eat seafood and they also had options for her. She got the chicken tenders with fries. All around amazing and the place was packed! I would recommend calling ahead as there was a 2 hour wait when we did our reservation.

    Food and service were both good. Place was packed per usual. Got onto the YELP waitlist in advance. Saves you a lot of time and you know exactly when to show up wt the restaurant.

    Snow Crab Legs

    The Boiling Crab is one of my go-to places, and I pretty much order the exact same thing every time. I always get the shrimp with the Whole sha-bang sauce with eggs, potatoes, and corn, plus an order of snow crab. It's consistently good, which is why I never switch it up. Their Cajun fries are hands down my favorite, and I always order sides of rice to go with everything the seafood. The portions are generous, and it's definitely the kind of meal you leave full and happy. One of the best parts is that it's just a fun place to go with family and friends. The atmosphere is casual and lively, and the service has always been great whenever we've visited. It does get really busy, so I recommend checking in ahead of time if you're going during peak hours. Even if there's a wait, it's always worth it. We've been coming here for years, and it's still one of our favorite spots.

    Dare I say best seafood boil in the 702!? This place is nonstop packed so reservations through google is a must. I love hot n juicy too don't get me wrong but boiling crab has a special place in my heart. When you get the choose the seasoning there is an option to get it an everything at once and I'd say that is a must for all the food. Shrimp and crab was fire. Then the deep fried oysters took me out. The only note I'd made is to step it up with the micheladas but I feel like it's honestly whoever makes them lol no biggie tho. Interior is fun. They have sharks hanging from the ceiling. It gets a little chilly with the big fans in the middle if you get sat there but when the food comes you'll oversee it Already making my next visit after this review !

    Chicken tenders (comes with fries of your choice)

    First time at this location and haven't been in years. Use to go to the OG spot in OC all the time. Just like I remember it...now with a much bigger menu. It's always busy. Be sure to check and join the waitlist via Yelp. Joined at 5:30pm on a Sunday and was quoted 70mins. Lively atmosphere with plenty of TVs for sports. The staff is always super friendly. Our go to is the Shrimp with the whole shabang with corn and sausage. And have to get a side of Cajun fries. Their chicken tenders are decent as well.

    This is the delicious adventure!

    Great food, great price. It was my first time to visit the Boiling Crab and we had an amazing server who explained everything well enough that I was completely satisfied with my decisions! I choose the shrimp and garlic butter with corn on the cob! No spice. (Salt isn't participating at the moment or I would have went with spicy!) I enjoyed it even though the shrimp are served with the head and crawlers attached. It was an adventure! A delicious adventure! It's an open dining room so make it fun. Say hi to your neighbors and do the community thing at the Boiling Crab. I did! Katie

    The food was phenomenal I got 1 pound of shrimp just for myself and the fried catfish was so good. Our server Leila was very fast and kind. Overall amazing experience and it was very affordable.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER TARON
    Racquel T.

    We went to the boiling crab for my brother 34th dinner. It was amazing!! Our server was Edgar! He was very sociable and even knew his basketball. Which my brother enjoyed! The crab legs were so juicy and the sauce was on point!!! My Nana had the fried catfish and she said it tasted like ya momma made it. Very good balance of cornmeal, seasoning and fried goodness. My sister did not enjoy the sausage flavor but the crab legs were easy to pull apart. The start of the show was Edgar! He fulfilled every request and ensured our 3 check party was assisted correctly. Excellent service.

    Emily G.

    Long wait times but so worth it when I get my buttery shrimp. The whole sha bang sauce is the best!!!!! The heat is perfect for this cold weather.

    Cajun Fries
    Grace J.

    Best seafood boil chain around! This spot gets pretty packed and there is usually a wait, so it's understandable that servers are quite busy. It's got the wharf ambiance with dock and fishing net decor to really immerse you in the experience. You can't beat the whole shabang sauce

    i devoured this whole

    The Boiling Crab Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Boiling Crab

    The boiling crab?

    Yes, like the 1s in Los Angeles; delicious!!!

    Dog friendly patio or outdoor seating?

    There is no outside seating, no animals allowed, not sure about service animals. Never seen a pet there. But really good place

    Is there a new phone number?

    No. It's the same one on the website.

    Are they open tomorrow, Thanksgiving?

    All TBC locations will be closed for Thanksgiving.

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    No, we no longer do corkage fees. We do not allow outside wine/champagne.

    How do I book a reservation?

    You just show up they don't have a online reservation system.

    Is there a TV? Will they have the knights game on?

    They have multiple big screen tv with various sports on each

    Is there vegetarian options?

    Potato and corn

    Does anyone know what the 'service charge' is; besides the delivery fee? Is Postmates the only delivery service for The Boiling Crab? Thanks for your help.

    The service fee is a percentage-based fee applied to the purchase price of your items and is charged by the delivery app (Postmates). Please note the Las Vegas TBC location is not currently available on delivery apps.

    How do I make reservations?

    Hi! TBC does not take reservations, but we do recommend calling in ahead of your visit to inquire about any wait time.

    Can I check in here?

    Hi! We’re sorry but one guest from each party must check in at the restaurant in person.

    Did they change the "join the waitlist" option? I can't seem to find it anymore.

    The Governer Lifted The Restriction To Require A Reservation As Of 2/15/21 So They Are Probably Back To Walk In And Signing Up On The Waitlist Inside

    How to place Togo order?

    You can also order through Grubhub for you to pickup. That way you don't have to call multiple times until their line isn't busy (like we use to).

    Is it all you can eat crab legs or no?

    No its not all you can eat.

    How do i do a reservation in this app?

    The "Join Waitlist" Is Right Under Where You Would Write A Review. You Have To Be In A 5 Mile Radius

    What's the market price for crawfish both live and frozen?

    I Believe It Changes Daily So No "Set Price"

    The phone number is invalid/out of service, is there a different number to call?

    Try this one. Only one I know of. (702) 386-0808

    Can I make a reservation?

    On yelp they had a feature where you could of made one , but ever since covid they changed that.

    Why don't you guys give us an idea when the store is expecting to reopen for dine in?

    Dude, they're open. Social distancing seating. Wait time 1-2hours for dinner

    How many people can be seated at a table?

    6 at the most. For larger parties, they will be separated at different tables to allow for 6 ft distance from each other.
