The service is great here. The portions were good but the taste or sauce does need a little work. Tasted mostly hotness... not like a certain taste with the spicy heat. Not sure how to explain it in words but that's how I felt
Thee most incredible experience at The Boiling Crab 🦀 . Easily a 5-star visit! The seafood was hands down the best I’ve ever had… perfectly seasoned, super fresh, and absolutely unforgettable. On top of that, the margaritas were amazing 🍹 and the customer service was truly top-notch. The staff made everything feel welcoming and fun from start to finish. I loved every minute of it and can’t wait to go back! 🫶🏻
just had an amazing time , the manager Cranston truly went above & beyond. Our server George and the host staff were wonderful as well!! I recommend if you want some good seafood especially scallops then come here.. thanks Boiling Crab staff! also guests , the head is included in the shrimp so if that's not your thing then be sure to let them know! thanks again
So after a long trip to the island and traffic at a standstill I spotted this place. After several rounds looking for a parking spot.... We were in. Was a Wednesday night so as expected really slow. The waiter came right over. I asked for a few suggestions and about the Gumbo. Gumbo came out and was very good. Shrimp basket with fries have great flavor on the shrimp 🦐. Fries were crunchy for all the entree's ( Not a fan but my wife LOVED them). The Po boy was delicious. Also got the lobster 🦞 roll... They said that the spice level was hotter than most places.... You better believe it.... WOW . Flavor was on point with the roll but even though I ordered med spice it was HOT. Not that I don't enjoy hot but it kinda hid the flavor. To sum it up was an great meal and would want to try the boil next time.
The Boiling Crab has consistently served great food, flavor, and service for over half a decade. Welcoming and friendly staff members make the meal very enjoyable allowing the customers to choose the variety of seafood selections to their liking. Just to name a few: crayfish, dungeness crab, lobster, fried catfish, fried okra, and Gumbo is what you can find on their menu. The spacious and clean environment shows attention to details on making sure the table and floor are clean and safe to be on. Expect to pay a hefty price with the market price fluctuating. Overall, I highly recommend this business for their service and quality of food being so great!
