    Curly fries
    YJ L.

    The interior is great! Well decorated, and a lot of fun. They even have TVs that show sports. I'm not from the area, but had some errands to do here and thought garlicy, spicy, saucy seafood would be the right move! garlic noodles: I think the garlic flavor is there if you think about it. However, the noodle texture is so light and airy, that it didn't actually end up tasting like anything (so hard to describe...). I think it would better serve the noodles if they were slightly thicker or less curly--something to hold the flavor more. Couldn't finish it, wouldn't order again. Curly fries: well fried, crispy outside, well-seasoned Calamari: first cajun place I've seen that includes the legs! Tongue on fire sauce: got this with clams. Tongue was not on fire at all. Spice-intolerant friend was able to chop this up, which should not be the case. The medium spice sauce seemed a bit more runny, but the overall flavors of the sauces were really great. Lastly, when eating cajun, I'm used to the food being completely covered in the sauce. I smushed around my bag, but when I dumped out my clams, there were a handful that still weren't coated in the sauce. There's something about getting the sauce evenly all over before being handed the bag instead of having to vigorously and thoroughly shake and smush the bag yourself. But that's just my personal preference. Service was kind and quick! Vibes are like local hustle and bustle; loud, but you can still hear the people you're eating with.

    Aug 14. 2026 4 stars The Combo #2 and order of garlic noodles was a perfect size for a 230 lb man and two hungry women. Everyone agreed the seafood was delicious and fresh tasting. The garlic noodles were a hit. The food is like a perpetual motion machine. You get hungrier the more you eat. The Po' boy sandwich got a thumbs down from my son. He felt the large bread amount and it's dry texture overpowered the other sandwich ingredients. A large amount of water pooled on the floor in the back of the restaurant while we were dining necessitating what sounded like a shop vac to pick up the water. Too noisy but Accidents happen. There was an Open During Construction sign outside. Rebecca our server was pleasant and attentive. She is a keeper. The bus person cleaning the behind us toward the front door table was chewing on something. She paused her duties for a moment, staring off into space in my direction. Eating while on duty and not on break in front of customers is unprofessional. I tried to make eye contact with her out of curiosity if the chewing would stop when our eyes met. Alas my experiment failed. Something above my head and to the rear of the establishment was more interesting. Maybe some of that water pooling action was still happening. The Men's restroom stall is heavily grafittied. I wish I could think of advice for restaurant owners who suffer this scourge. Perhaps paint the stall inside a solid color and have a can of spray paint on hand? When you pay using the notepad computer the waitress carries, you need to sign on the screen before you hand over your credit card. That is odd. There should be a button on the "Tip screen" for those who want to "Cash Tip" They have a decent draft beer selection which I hope to enjoy on our next visit.

    First of all the place was really nice, it was clean and the vibe was really calm. Exactly what I needed for the day I've been having. The servers were very nice and the manager gave us complementary fries. 10/10 recommend, if you're in Concord, definitely stop by for some seafood boil.

    HOT TAKE: Cajun Crack'n (the Concord location at least) is just as good, if not better, than The Boiling Crab. I know that a lot of people reading this review are looking for a comparison between the restaurants. Usually, others are split on this opinion when I mention it. So here's my why. The seafood menu selection is the same as most crab boil spots. I ordered the deveined/headless shrimp on my last visit. The spicy sauce was def spicy! Shrimp was cooked perfectly, not overcooked like I've had at other places. They give a generous portion of sauce, which is necessary to pour over some white rice! The appetizer selection at Cajun Crack'n is elite! The fried oysters are my favorite! I've also had the wings, fried mozzarella and Crawfish fried rice. All delicious choices! Can't wait for my next visit!

    Ordered the Special Combo #1 with the House Special Sauce at medium, and overall it was really good. The combo had a nice variety with shrimp, crab legs, sausage, corn, potatoes, and egg, and everything was cooked well. The house special sauce was buttery, garlicky, flavorful, and the medium spice level had just the right amount of heat without being too much. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the sauce was a little on the salty side. It was still delicious, but after a while the saltiness started to stand out. If they dialed that back just a bit, it'd be even better. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Good portions, great flavor, and a solid spot when you're craving a seafood boil.

    Food delicious Service was good Ambiance was nice First time here. We've been to another place similar but in San Jose. Now that we've been here no need to drive so far away. We definitely will be going back to this spot. And bringing friends and family.

    We found this place via Google search. My wife and I were so excited because it is a new seafood boil spot for us lol. We walked in and waited about 5 mins for a table to get cleaned off. No real wait time was amazing. Our waitress was Elizabeth. She was super nice. We ordered a pitcher of beer and cold glasses. However, the glasses were not really cold. We sent them back and received better ones. For food, we ordered lemon pepper wings. They were crispy, but definitely lacked the lemon pepper taste. I was a little disappointed with them. Next came our food. We ordered #2 (Mild) with four eggs and rice. However, when the eggs arrived... they looked disgusting. They had all this stiff on them and they came in a separate bag.. so this made no sense. I sent them back and requested clean and fresh eggs. We'll.. the seafood made up for those weak areas listed prior. It was delicious!!! No complaints at all! Our waitress disappeared for some time without informing us that she would be gone. I did not like that. At the end, they have us 2 new beverages that they were soft launching to try. We enjoyed them. Overall, we will will return to this spot to give it another chance.

    Combo #2. Shrimp. Mussels. Crab.

    **Sardar I don't know if management appreciates you but Your kindness is not taught! You either have it or you don't. So I salute and acknowledge your excellence in customer service. Customer service-Sardar who was our server showed excellent customer service. He Checked on us during our meal and didn't have us letting a long time to take our order. He also gave us the new drinks that they are promoting. The Popping Boba Mango and Peach drink is delicious. Ambiance-The ambience is for date nights, happy hours, lunch, and it's kid friendly. Food-Was delicious. It was a lot. We got Combo #2 with spice level at Medium. That was the perfect spice level if you love spicy. Also, let's talk about them wings. Them Cajun wings was hella good. I was skeptical of that flavor at first but I'm glad I love trying new things and getting out my comfort Zone. Thank you Sardar for the recommendation. Overall food was good and Sardar made the experience even more amazing.

    Service was very attentive, even on a very busy Mother's Day evening. Ambiance was very nice: bright, clean, huge. Not too many corn/sausages/potatoes -- sometimes some restaurants have too much of these. The mussels and clams were quite tasty too. The end at the bottom the sauce was quite flavorful, a bit too salty for me but with rice it was just right. The snow crab legs and crawfish were really good. Ordered combo #3 and signature #1: both were very good. Would order mild instead of medium next time. Will come again.

    First time dining here with my family. Came here to celebrate Mother's day. Not too busy to my surprise. Lots of customers ordered take out this evening and for some reason that caused a massive backlog on the dine in customer orders. It was a very long wait until we got our food served. Despite the busy evening and likely frustrating dine-in customers, the servers were all very patient and still worked professionally attending to the dine-in customers with a smile. Great job! The seafood was fresh - mussels, clams, snow crab legs, shrimp, and crawfish. Very good quality. The sauce was slightly on the salty side so reducing the salt might be something to consider in the future.

    This place is by far one of the better seafood boil places in the area. We called in our order for pick up, person taking the order was nice and our food was ready in 20 minutes! Picking up the food was quick, you just walk in past the host stand to the cashier across from the live seafood. The restaurant was super busy, updated interior, and loud edm music to make you eat faster The shrimp, king crab legs, and muscles did not disappoint. Their house sauce was really good yet similar to other places I've been (not a bad thing). The only item that was very underwhelming were the garlic noodles. It was just chicken top ramen noodles with garlic sprinkled on top, pretty disappointed with it tbh (hence the 4 star review). I'd be back forsure! Just won't get the garlic noodles

    Combo #3

    I've been coming here for years, even had my birthday dinner here a couple times. This is hands down one of the best seafood boil places around and is definitely worth the drive. I'm finally taking the time to leave another review because not only the food is always amazing, but I also want to recognize Lisa for her A+ service. She is so attentive, super friendly, and always makes us feel welcome. She truly goes above and beyond, and that kind of service deserves to be recognized! Thank you, Lisa, for always making our visits extra special!

    Located inside the Willow Shopping Center, there's ample parking. Restaurant was about 90% full, and the service was a bit slow. But once we ordered, the food did come quickly. For apps, give the garlic noodles and fried pickle a try. The various baskets are not cheap, but the quality is there and very tasty best paired with beer. We tried their lobster, shrimp and crawfish but I think next time we'll go for the clams instead of the crawfish. The potatoes was so-so, and the corn was one of our favorites. Our waiter was bouncing around the entire area, so drink refills, napkins, etc. took longer than desire, but he tried.

The menu has so many good sounding choices so it was hard to decide what to try for my first visit. I settled on the smothered pork chops meal and my friend decided to go with a conservative choice of a fried chicken meal. We placed our order and sat at one of the outside tables. One of the workers came out and gave us a Hot Link slider with french fries sample. The Hot Link slider was delicious and the fries were prepared the way excellent fries are made. The fries tasted like the ones that you quick fry, remove and then fry again. They were tender, great seasoning and a nice fried crunch. We both loved the sample more than our lunches The chicken came with two pieces of fried chicken, corn on the cob and my friend chose mac n cheese as his side dish and a corn bread muffin. He loved the Mac n cheese and the muffin which was very moist and tasted great. He thought the chicken was good, not real juicy or flavored but a good fried chicken. My smothered pork chops plate was huge, came with 2 good sized fried pork chops, corn on the cob and I chose potato salad and a roll. The pork chops were relatively tender, the gravy was a little more liquidity than what I normally eat, potato salad was a very good homemade side dish and the gravy over the rice was tasty. I would have preferred a more thicker traditional homemade brown gravy. I couldn't finish my order for lunch so I ended up getting two meals out of my lunch. We plan to go back to have the hot link and french fries. The menu has a wide variety so we'll have go back a couple of times to try some of the other dishes. Service is excellent and you get generous portions. Visit Frickin Fried for good home style comfort food.

But surprise, surprise -- it actually tasted like real matcha! It was delicious! For my meal, I tried the cowboy scramble, which I swear was everything but the kitchen sink tossed in a pan. It was hearty, satisfying, and totally hit the spot. The only hiccup? The melted butter they used on the toast had a weird aftertaste. I can't quite explain it -- like if butter went to a weird party and came back a little off. But hey, it didn't ruin the whole meal, just a little side note.
