    First time here and was blown away by the amazing service and food. Our server Bryan was very on point and so polite. He was very attentive and fulfilled our ridiculous requests. Can’t wait to eat here again.

    Me and the lady went for Valentine’s Day. This place is pretty popular so it was a pretty accurate 2 hour waiting time, they take your number and you can check what place your in the queue, once it was our turn we receive a text to check in. So since I am a big baby and it was nearing my bed time I opted out the full eating experience, but the lady did not. As you can see in the picture she is really enjoying herself , The service is really fast and friendly. Paper on table, they offer to bib you and you can ask for gloves if you get extra messy while you devour your crabs. The crab gets to you in a bag, you open the bag and just pour it all over the table, then you go to town. Great food great service and great environment, especially because there’s a cool shark hanging from the ceiling. A if you like getting crabs.

    Had an incredible time with my partner at The Boiling Crab! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun and casual perfect for digging into some messy, delicious seafood. We ordered 1 pound of shrimp, fries, potatoes, sausage, and corn. Everything was packed with flavor, especially the shrimp. Our host Caleb was friendly, the service was quick, and the food came out hot and fresh. It was our first time here together, and it definitely won’t be the last. Loved how hands-on and fun the whole experience was
