    The Manila lobster tail, crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and hard boiled egg
    Candice R.

    I got the Cajun sauce extra spicy. It was delicious. Probably one of the best seafood boils. I've had a little expensive but definitely worth it for the quality.

    So im not rating them off the food experience. Im rating off a purchase made of boil sauce. So i paid 21$ for sauce platter. Mind u the menu say 11.99$ but i was told it was 6$ each. Ok cool no biggie. The issue arises when i get the sauce the container are barely full to half. If i buy sauce im expecting it to be a lil close to being at the rim on each 1 not under half. So i guess u can base this review off quantity over quality. Based off this incident they get 1 star if i could it would be none

    Let me first start by saying that the owners were super nice & consistently checked on us. The stage and band area look like it might get fun after dark. Overall, I don't know if it's because I'm a spoiled seafood junkie from CA, but the food left a lot to be desired. I instantly noticed the grease because I don't usually wear gloves to eat my shrimp in a bag, but this bag required it (& still stained my nails with the gloves on). There was less flavor, lots of oil. The Ore-ida crinkle cut fries were seasoned with a remix of Lawry's (maybe Tony Chacheres) that felt like it helped soak up some of the oil in my stomach. The shrimp was jumbo life-size so we were happy with that (& it's all AYCE) but the mussels were struggling for life & were clam-size (I feel like the actual clams probably aren't worth it). We ate all of our food, I think 1.5 lbs each but we'll see how the grease treats us...

    Menu and Restaurant

    Their sauce is probably the best sauce I've had for seafood boil. Plus their Cajun fires are really good, and reasonably priced, I like it a lot, and I've tried lots of seafood boil.

    Manila Special
    EJay D.

    The food is always good. The garlic butter sauce is one of the best in town. We always order the Manila Special, it's the perfect combination. It has all of my favorite seafood. The lemon pepper sauce is also very good not too salty and perfectly seasoned. We like it with clams. It's a small place and it's very cozy. Dulce is our favorite server she is the best. Always nice and accommodating. Try this unassuming seafood place. You won't be disappointed.

    Hubby & I came here for dinner & loved it! We got shrimp, mussels, sausage & snow crab legs! Got it spicy & it was the perfect amount of spice! I loved the sauce! The service was great & the food was amazing & very well priced! I feel like some of these places over charge for what you get but nope not here! Amazing sauces, great food & service! Can't wait to go back & try some more items on their menu!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Manila Combo ($56) great deal!

    If you're craving a seafood boil on the east side of town and don't want to break your bank, then look no further and come check out the yummy crab. This is a new woman-owned restaurant that opened just a few months ago. Plenty of free parking since it shares a plaza with Walmart and other businesses. Ambiance is casual and clean with ocean/beach themed decor, people's signatures and other writings on the wall, and a mini stage for performing. Apparently they have karaoke here on some nights. A single restroom each for men and women. Music playing is mostly today's pop hits. Service is awesome, the waitress was friendly and greeted/seated us right away and asked if we had any questions about the menu. Food came out super quick too after ordering. For the appetizer, we got raw oysters. They looked like blue points, big and meaty and comes with lemon slices and a side of cocktail sauce, and Tabasco upon request. A half dozen is only $12 which is cheaper compared to places like hot n juicy and the boiling crab. For the main course, my friend and I split the Manila special which includes: 1 lobster tail, 1 snow crab cluster, 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of crawfish, 2 potatoes, 2 corns, and 1 hard boiled egg. All of this for $56, talk about a deal! Most other seafood boils I've been to rarely have specials that include both lobster and crab so I was pleasantly surprised. We even had some leftovers to take home because it was so much food. For the sauce, we were recommended the salted egg sauce which is filipino style. We got it mild and it paired perfectly with all our seafood. It was so savory and umami without being overly salty. Found myself scooping some to pour over my white rice. Love that the rice is unlimited and $2.50 per person. I also got a side of their special sauce and got it spicy, this is a blend of some of their other sauces. Overall, the seafood was super fresh, meaty, and juicy. Even though this is further out from where I live, their prices can't be beat compared to all the other seafood boils in town, and would be totally worth the drive. Can't wait to come back here and bring more friends!

    Quick business trip to Las Vegas and since I used to live here, I have several friends here and met up with one of them for dinner. I used the Yelp map to find a place roughly between us so we both would have to drive about the same distance... and it was nice to get away from the strip (super busy this weekend due to NFL draft). We studied the menu for a bit - for me, it was very similar to the menu of one of my favorite restaurants back home. We discussed and considered the possibility of ordering some of the many "boil" type items available - crab, shrimp, crawfish, etc. Looking around to the diners around us, those seemed to be the most popular... at least this night. We decided to go with the (probably less healthy) fried items because... well, just because. We ordered Softshell Crab and Calamari baskets (which include a side - we chose Cajun Fries) - and for good measure, we added the fried shrimp appetizer. Everything was great! A nice twist I noticed was they put some Cajun seasoning on the fried items and that gave them a little 'zing'. I'm not exactly sure if all of their fried food is like that by default or if the waitress asked for it because of our conversation while making our order (we asked if we could order everything to be spicy). In any case, it was a nice addition to the usual breading found in most similar places. All of the items were fried exactly how I like it... and they weren't greasy at all! I'm sure I'll drop back by at some point and probably try some of the boil items.

    Shrimp Head Off and de-shelled bag
    La Juania M.

    I will say that I was pleased that I was able to get the shrimp with heads off and de-shelled. That is a positive. The sauce I got I think was the house special was great. I was surprise that the menu didn't have more combos but it's all good. I feel like everything should not be Al a carte. That's the downside to this place. Everything is separate when you do a bag.

    Ordered #3 1 pound of king crab legs ,Shrimp ,clams included 3 corn cobs , 3 potatoes and 3 sausages We placed our order by phone 20 minutes before closing the young lady on the phone was very patient took our order . When I got there it was empty and the location is next to dottys , Walmart , Ross etc. Apparently there's a lot of people with group on we weren't one of them so we paid full price $89.95 plus tax and tip . Everything tasted great alot of garlic and lemony flavors I was a bit skeptical by reading someone's review on here saying they got sick I have a sensitive stomach and my husband used to be a professional chef for us food was good and stomach was nothing but full .

    Bought a deal off Groupon , $40 for $60 worth of food so I thought why not. I'm tired of the same old seafood places, Boiling Crab, Pier 88 etc. This place exceeded my expectations. Walked in and it wasn't busy, only two other parties seated. Order was taken promptly and drinks arrived along with bibs, gloves the usual for these types of places. The seafood boil bags were very hot. The spice level was perfect. Crab legs, shrimp and crawfish were all good. I give this place 5/5 stars and will definitely be back.

    Fried Catfish Basket(4)
    Caroline M.

    My husband and I stooped by to order take-out after a busy day. We redeemed a Groupon. We ordered the fried oyster and shrimp baskets with fries and steamed clams and corn on the cob. Everything was delicious. The steamed clams and corn were in a garlic butter sauce. The fries were a sweet-salty and to die for. This is some of the freshest and tastiest seafood I've eaten since our move to the Las Vegas area nearly three years ago. The Steamy Crab is a rare find, friendly employees, clean and inviting restaurant, reasonable prices, and delicious food. A hidden gem indeed! We will be back to more culinary delights.

    It's a Seafood Boil spot hidden on the south east side of Las Vegas. This is also a #SeafoodBoil Place that I know of in the whole US that serves "Salted Egg Flavored Sauce" and it's here in Las Vegas! Located in Southeast Part of town at 3175 East Tropicana Ave. Staff was very friendly and very accommodating. It is also well decorated inside. You will definitely feel like you're dining at a seafood restaurant! Their Sauce was pretty good. Since I'm the east coast I wish they have Old Bay Seasoning that I can order on the side. Price was reasonable and overall. It's was good! I Definitely Recommend if you're in Las Vegas!

    I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

    I absolutely loved the Pan Roast Signature Plate! I ordered Level 6, and every bite was packed with…read moreamazing flavor--you just can't stop enjoying it! The spice level was perfect for me. Level 6 has a nice kick while still allowing you to fully enjoy all the flavors. Level 10 is the spiciest option if you're looking for more heat. The unlimited white rice and sourdough bread were the perfect additions to the dish. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Tip: Make sure you arrive with enough time, as there can sometimes be a wait to be seated. It's definitely worth the wait!

    Wonderful Food & True Southern Hospitality I've eaten at…read moreLola's many times, and I felt compelled to share my experience after seeing some recently disturbing comments about this wonderful local restaurant. My experience with Lola's has been consistently positive. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owners and staff have always made me feel like a welcomed guest rather than just another customer. What I especially love about Lola's is the genuine Southern hospitality. There is a warmth and friendliness that you just don't find everywhere anymore. The owners put their heart into the restaurant, and it shows in the way they welcome people and create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. I've enjoyed many meals at Lola's, and I've always found the food flavorful and satisfying. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and feel like you're among friends. After visiting many times, I can honestly say that the Lola's I know is nothing like the picture being portrayed in some of the recent comments. Lola's has earned my continued support, and I'll happily keep coming back. If you haven't been, go experience the food, warmth, and Southern hospitality for yourself. Small businesses work incredibly hard to survive, especially in the restaurant industry. Constructive feedback is one thing, but I believe we should be looking for ways to support our local small businesses rather than tear them down.

    Accommodating my daughter's recent & voracious obsession with crab legs, we tried Crab 'n Spice on…read moreW. Lake Mead about week ago. We arrived for an early dinner --4:30-5p, & were seated promptly --about 5 min., as it was not too busy yet. The vibe was welcoming & friendly, & the ambience very casual & chill, in contrast & irony with the price point for most entrees. This is not meant negatively though: everybody knows fresh seafood is not cheap! Our server was upbeat & informative, explaining the structure of the menu & the all you-can-eat options. Unfortunately, that's where the positive feedback ends. We both opted for the AYCE snow crab, which is served in 1 pound portions in plastic bags. The crab clusters are swimming in whatever sauce is chosen to accompany the legs, of which there are several. You also pick a couple sides with each bag. For my 1st round, I chose the Cajun coconut sauce. Daughter chose the garlic lemon. The sauces were very rich, greasy & salty. There was too much of it, but also, the delicate flavor of the crab was completely dominated & overwhelmed by it. Butter seems to be the 1st ingredient in the sauces; I don't normally complain about butter... but it was SO much, & again so salty. Crab legs are a delicacy that do not require any condiment other than lemon & butter, in my opinion. We could've asked for the crab legs plain. They probably allow that right? But there is no simple lemon/butter option We didn't finish our 2nd bags for these reasons. I felt like I had consumed a stick of butter, & the flavor of the crab legs was lost in the sauce. I started to feel a bit queasy. For that 2nd bag, I chose the "all in" sauce, which is a mix of all the sauces. It wasn't distinguishable from the Cajun coconut. Regarding the sides, I chose corn & sausage w/ the first bag. (They are thrown in to the bag with the legs & sauce. ) Immediately, I knew the corn was a terrible choice. It was water-logged, & covered in sauce. yet flavorless. Over boiled. The sausage was OK: there was exactly 1 bite. We had fries & rice also which were served separately--not in bags. The rice was plain & boring, but that's steamed white. In this context, it was better served plain because again, the overwhelming sauce with the crab legs was more than enough for the palette. The fries were tasty: Crispy & had good flavor. Our service was attentive at first, but became a bit lax eventually. Nothing too bad though.... We had to ask to have our bucket, (for the shells & trash that accumulates during the messy feast) which was overflowing, emptied. I also had to flag down a server for refills on our drinks. It is worth noting that the first round of drinks,, (water for my daughter, Diet Coke for me) was fine: Water tasted good,, & both drinks were cold & refreshing.. My Diet Coke had adequate carbonation, which is not always the case at restaurants! Upon her first sip of the 2nd glass of water, my daughter's face scrunched up, & she looked appalled. She said, " Mom, taste this water. Something's wrong with it. It doesn't taste right. It's gotta be tap water or something...." So I did. I've lived in Vegas for 30 years & I've had all kinds of water here, including the city's tap water, though I don't consume it regularly. This was worse than any tap water I've tasted in any city. I don't think it was tap water--at least not the kind that comes out of my tap at home. I don't know what it was. Dirty dish water or dirty fish water? It was not consumable. We asked for a replacement & received drinkable water once again. We both decided we would not return to Crab 'n Spice. The water was a one-time fluke I'm sure. Even though the service fell off a bit over the course of the meal, it was not below-average, & I liked the friendly server. There's only one reason we will not be patronizing the restaurant again: Sauce. Too much. Too greasy. Too salty. The check was a bit more than most everyday family-style restaurants, but it was not unreasonable considering we both had the "AYCE" crab legs. In fact, it was about the same as what we would've paid for 2 entrees & side almost anywhere. So price is not a factor in not going back. We had a good time and don't regret going. We had to try it out. Based on the crowd that was there by the time we left, we must be in a minority in not savoring the saucy meal style. I would have given 3 stars but the nasty water served to my daughter took away a star.
