    Great seafood boil dinner. Wait time was horrible (hours) on a week night! Prices are crazy, but worth it if you love seafood.

    My girlfriend always wanted to try boiling crab (our first time) and it exceeded our expectations. Shoutout to Jorge, service was top tier and went out his way to show us how to use that crab utensil. Was very attentive to our table even when he was busy. We will be coming back

    Boiling crab was on my shit list for so many years, but I decided to give it a try at another location and so glad I did. Boiling crab had the best sauce and Trish is so awesome. She seated me and took my order and brought me ranch without me asking (must have read my mind). She was on her break I hope she got the extra tip I left for her with the other hostess. My server Brian was awesome too, very attentive. Shrimp could be more fresh, but it's still way better than it was the last few times I had it before I stopped going. Boiling crab makes the best sauce. No one can beat the whole shabang.

    Goated. You already know what's up. Reliable and always hits the spot for me. I love their Cajun fries and I always get their crawfish, live or frozen it's good. Tried their lobster roll for the first time, pricey for the amount I think you could skip this unless you're dying for it. Always busy but their Yelp waitlist is extremely helpful and makes it super convenient! Can't stress this enough, trust me you don't wanna be waiting there the whole time.

    The food was so good there was no time to take photos! We tried it all (except crab this time), mussels, clams, shrimp, catfish and scallops! All so good! We put our name on the wait list hours before we got there and still had to wait about an hour when we got there. If you have the time, it's worth the wait.

    Boiling Crab is the most consistent seafood boil restaurant I've ever been to. The seafood quality is always up to par and the food is always going to taste great. I came here for the first time in a very long time and I was surprised to see they made some changes. One of the great surprises is that they have now added lobster rolls to the menu! I normally order a lb of crawfish but this immediately drew my attention. When you order the lobster rolls they give you the option to add spice to it, and I chose mild. The lobster roll truly surprised me! It was packed to the brim with lobster and the Hawaiian rolls were perfectly buttery. For the price it's a little smaller than I'd like. It would be perfect if it was a smidge bigger. I do also appreciate that it's a warm Connecticut style lobster roll. Thank you so much Boiling Crab for bringing this around! I'll be here a lot more often!
