    Seafood boil
    Felicia G.

    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.

    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

    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.

    i devoured this whole

    I devoured and scoured the food like crazy it was so good i couldn't stop eating. especially hits when your appetite is high and the food looks so good. asian guy served us really well and was attentive and service was fast. would come again and have before ..!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER TARON

    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.

    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

    Fried oysters
    Sary O.

    Food at boiling crab is always a hit! There is nothing that I don't like here. My favorite has to be their fried catfish. 10/10. Doesn't matter the location i go, Service is always great along with the food.

    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.

But I can for sure say that Cajun Crackin exceeded my expectation! I felt like I was back at home with how good the food tasted lol. I went at 4pm with my gf on a Friday, and although it was a bit quiet, it was very clean and well kept! Walking in, first thing that caught my eye is how spacious/open it was. We were greeted with a unique fisherman-esque entrance with nets hanging over our heads as well as a shark hanging by the bar. The floor and counters were nice shiny and you can tell they're well cleaned. I got the 38$ ayce option. I for one can eat a lot...but surprisingly the ayce option gave me more than enough, I was suprised. The servers were delightful and were constantly checking up on me and giving me pointers on the menu! I recommend this place if you are pursuing a tasty seafood boil!

This place should be popping with how good their food is! From the crab legs and shrimp as well as the other fixings, everything was delish! I love the sauce they used- Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper combined!! Yummmmmm I could have ate more. Service was quick!! Nice place to eat! Great for big groups. Casual ambiance!

The shrimp were fine, but the pan roast was so rich and heavy that it became hard to eat after a few bites. It felt more overwhelming than comforting. Dessert didn't help. The cheesecake came out straight from the fridge and was so cold it was firm and difficult to enjoy. Cheesecake should be creamy, not something you have to wrestle with. Service was also very slow since it looked like only one server was trying to take care of the whole floor, which made the wait time drag. Not terrible, but for a place built around indulgent seafood and comfort flavors, the execution and service just didn't land.

    Lola's A Louisiana Kitchen - Good Food, Just Watch the Add-Ons…read more We ordered the Roman trio and jambalaya, and overall the food was flavorful and enjoyable. The service was friendly, and the Louisiana-inspired decor is cute and adds to the charm of the place. One thing to be mindful of: when ordering, our waitress casually suggested or repeated add-ons in a way that could easily be mistaken as part of the original order. For example, we ordered the traditional jambalaya, which also has a "loaded" option for an extra $10. We clearly wanted the original, but she repeated it as "loaded." Thankfully, my husband caught it and corrected her before it went through. Later, we noticed another table was upcharged for potatoes without realizing they were an add-on. So just a heads-up--be very clear when ordering and double-check what's included versus extra to avoid surprises on the bill. Overall, the food and atmosphere are solid--just make sure to pay close attention when placing your order.
