This was the first food spot traveling to Boston and my family and I were excited to try this spot…read moresince we planned our trip. Amongst the many places we searched this was where we wanted to go first. We got here around 1 pm and there was a good amount of seating available. The New Orleans inspired theme and music made this place such a good vibe to eat at. We had the gumbo, fish and chips, and beignets to share. The gumbo was a first time for us and it was extremely tasty, the mix of soft and savory chicken with a spicy soft yet tender pork sausage mixed with rice was amazing. The fish and chips were great as well but having the beignets at the end was truly the best finish to this fine experience.

A friend and I ended up French Quarter and it was a mixed review…read more Starting with the drinks, we both love a craft cocktail and they did not disappoint. Pictured and consumed is the Tajin Tango - El Jimador Tequilla, guave, lime and orange - highly recommend I wish I could say the same about the meal. First, the good... my dinner partner had the shrimp and grits and enjoyed the meal. Okay, that was the good! For me, I ordered the French Quarter burger with onion rings. The burger was lacking flavor. It was supposed to be dusted with creole, which could not be detected. The onions on the burger were way over cooked and had zero flavor. The scallion aioli saved the burger to add some flavor. The onion rings were overly greasy and most of them were soggy. I will chalk my experience as a bad night for the French Quarter, but I weighed out my dinner mates meal, with a good drink, and a bad meal to give them three stars.

Ordered those and one of their seafood boils (I think it's called the dirty). I enjoyed the softshell crabs. Seasoning gave it a fried chicken type of flavor but enjoyable. As for the seafood boil it was okay. It was mainly shrimp corn and potato. Wasn't busy when we arrived and seated promptly. Service was great at first. But then when I asked for utensils, the server looked at me confused and after 2-3 tries, he finally brought me a fork. Overall the experience was okay. Might have to try a different boil if we come back.

If you stick with the seafood, you're going to have a great meal. That said, keep in mind it is a seafood restaurant. They have chicken wings on the menu, we figured we'd get them to share until the food came out.. They were honestly terrible. The order we received came with six extremely small, overcooked pieces that were so dry and tough looking they weren't even edible. Just looking at them we didn't bother as they weren't at all appetizing. I'm not sure if it was a bad day, a supply issue, or something else entirely, but they were a complete miss. Speaking of, service can be hit or miss as well. This past weekend, we had a wonderful server who was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The visit before that, however, was the exact opposite. Our server--who seemed to be either a manager or assistant manager--spent nearly all of his time chatting up a table of women, clearly trying to get phone numbers. Trying to get his attention for anything felt like a major inconvenience. What motivated me to write this today is that not only was the service good on our latest visit, but we also tried the fried seafood instead of the usual seafood boil--and it was absolutely excellent, and not at all expensive. Both the fried shrimp plate and the fried clam plate were outstanding. If you haven't tried their fried options, or not in the mood to put on gloves and dig into a seafood boil, don't sleep on their fried seafood. It was surprisingly impressive. Overall: great seafood, inconsistent service, avoid the wings entirely, and definitely give the fried dishes a try.

I added pototoes and Corn. The Wings were great. It's a messy, hands-on experience (they give you bibs and gloves), but that's part of the fun. The portions were solid and the spice level had a nice kick without overpowering the flavor. I went very mild. If you like seafood boils with bold seasoning and a casual, fun atmosphere, Holy Crab is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back. Be ready to look for parking. Service was great.

We walked in and only one couple was in the restaurant, and we should've gone somewhere else. We decided to stay based on the other reviews and give the food a try.

The spring rolls arrived and they were sad rolls with shrimp and some iceberg lettuce. That's it. No texture, no taste. The entree came out and it was a plate of spaghetti noodles with previously cooked cocktail drenched in oil, raw garlic and Cajun seasoning. We ate a couple shrimp then asked for our check.
