    Parking can be a little tight; the service was quick and server was very friendly. We got the peeled shrimp, potato, hard boiled egg, and krabby patties. Food was great and well priced for seafood

    Okay parking at night + friendly service. We ordered half a pound of shrimp ($10) and crawfish ($10). Not sure what was going on with the amount of salt and pepper they gave us, but the seafood was okay. I'd stick with Boiling or Kickin' Crab.

    This place is tiny! I made reservations for 8 and when we arrived they didn't seem to know or care that we made reservations and just said sit wherever. It was empty but there wasn't a table for 8 so I asked what to do and they said to take the two tables of 6. So we had to push the tables together ourselves and had 12 seats for 8. I got snow crab legs and 1/2 shrimp and it included potato, sausage, and corn. The crab was good. The shrimp was ok, not super fresh. Potato were cut too big for my preference. Corn was good. Sausage seemed to be just hot dog and not good. The sauce was a bit weird, gritty. Also important this is a live/work type building and is there is no public parking garage, only the 30 minutes spots in front of the stores. I called the restaurant and the person answered "hello" so I thought it wasn't a real place. But after clarifying, she told me to park in the 30 minute spots. For the food and inconvenience I wouldn't return to this location.

    The food was amazing, service was top notch. Workers were so kind its the perfect get together. Yes weekends are the busiest but the workers do their best Adalynn was so professional. Will be coming back! Ambiance was perfect.

    Daddy's Shrimp Bowl

    Picked up an order, the shrimp bowl is great but the garlic noodles were horrible. They were flavorless and served on linguine noodles which I found weird. The shrimp bowl was a great portion with the perfect amount of spice. Without the noodles this place would be five stars.

    Me and my boyfriend came here last night for the first time. The ambiance was nice, clean and welcoming. They also had a great music playlist playing. The food and service was 10/10. We ordered the Krabbie Patties for our appetizer then we ordered the pound of shrimp with some Snow Crab and rice. They all had great flavor and we enjoyed every bite! We are definitely coming back to try other items on the menu :)

    I think kickin crab has better pricing and better sauces overall. Tried this place but I didn't prefer the taste compared to other boils.

    We went around 6pm on a Saturday. Our wait time was around 1.5 hours…read more We were at a location in Garden Grove last week around close time and that experience wasn't as good. But the food and customer service received at this location was incredible. We ordered the fried catfish basket, the whole sha-bang medium shrimp and corn and potatoes. The shrimp was bomb. We always order a xxx sauce on the side so that everyone in the party can enjoy the meat without it being too spicy. The catfish comes out piping hot. The fries are always on point. The service was also on point. We had people checking in on us a good amount of times and grabbing what we needed quickly.

    I haven't been to Boiling Crab in nearly 10 years. Back when it was really hyped and trendy. It was…read moretime to try it again. Me and my wife arrived on a Sunday around 3:30 PM. We put our name down on the Yelp waitlist and the wait for a party of 2 was maybe 90 min. Essentially if you go anytime on the weekend expect to wait at least an hour. There is no such thing as "off times" on the weekend. Evidently Boiling Crab is still as popular as ever. We didn't mind waiting. Once our number was next we were promptly seated. First thing I noticed was how great the service was from the host, to the waiters, to the helpers. We ordered shrimp and Cajun fries. Shrimp is $18/pound and it is the only seafood you can order by the half-a-pound. After ordering the food came out in less than 10 min. Besides the initial wait, everything else about the dining experience was very efficient, which tells me the long waits are not a fault to slow service. I think they are being as efficient as they can. The dining experience was pleasant. They supply bibs, gloves, etc for easy clean-up. There are TVs showing sports. We were out of there at $45 for two. A pretty good deal considering the unique dining experience. I can see why Boiling Crab remained popular after all these years.

First off, the food is incredible: * I ordered the Mardi Gras Pasta (shrimp, andouille sausage, chicken, mushrooms in a marinara cream sauce) and it was SO flavorful, rich, and perfectly balanced * I also tried the Pernod Shrimp Pasta, which was lighter but still packed with flavor from the garlic, basil, white wine, and tomatoes * I also got to try some of my friend's seafood boil and it was delicious! Super flavorful without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated * I have to talk about the beignets... because WOW! They were better than Disneyland's (lol). Perfectly soft, warm, and just chef's kiss You can really tell everything is made fresh and with care. Portions were super filling and the presentation was honestly gorgeous! We had a group of 12 people and we booked their special events room and it was SUCH a fun experience. It had karaoke, TVs, a pool table, and a super cute backdrop! It was perfect for a group hangout or celebration. What made the night even more special was celebrating my birthday there! The team surprised me with a dessert (ice cream with fried bananas!) which was such a sweet and memorable touch. The vibe and ambiance overall was amazing! I'd 100% recommend this place for a group dinner or romantic date night to have your boyfriend peel your shrimps for you LOL. Service was outstanding, especially considering how busy it was. Huge shoutout to Christian, Nathan, Nathan, and Christine for taking such great care of our big group. They were all so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Yes, the wait was a bit longer since it was a busy night, but honestly the quality of the food and service made it completely worth it. You can really feel the love behind this place being family-owned, and it shows in both the food and the service! If you're looking for amazing and authentic cajun food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a place that truly takes care of you, Roux is the way!

Pricing is OK -- it's more expensive than places in North OC/LA or even Santa Ana, but obviously not as expensive as a touristy spot like Santa Barbara. Parking could be a challenge on weekends and meal times -- during peak times, we avoid the main lot and parking garage, and go straight to the extra lot off of Alton (next to H-mart on the other side of the driveway). Wait time is usually about 30 minutes during peak times. For our family of 4, we usually get Combo 3 plus an appetizer and extra sides like pasta or rice. Comes out to about $200-$250. Service is inconsistent. Sometimes we get great service, other times, we're waiting to get gloves and water refills.

The worker was basically like, "you want snow crab, potatoes, sausage, eggs, corn and you want it hot?" This was extremely delicious, but not $70-$80 delicious. The place is expensive but totally worth it, I just can't justify paying so much. It should have cost $50-$60, you don't get the actual entire crab, just the legs. They charge you for the entire crab, every items you order, it should at the minimum have given me those metal crab opener things or a mallet. Also, the worker pretty much wanted me out of the store, they never asked me if I wanted to dine in there. Only reason why I don't rate this 5 stars is the price and lack of utensils.
