I think they are out of business. It's Friday at 5:30 and the place is closed. No signage saying why. It's like one of those places that closed the doors one night and never reopened. read more

Crazy that they don't update their hours. Everything shows they are open today but when we arrived they are closed. read more

Service was great, food was so so. Ordered calamari and crab Rangoon as appetizers. Crab Rangoon was good, but calamari was gross! Smelled like some seriously old oil was used to fry it. Tasted super fishy and had to send it back. I got a crawfish boil with the classic Cajun seasoning and it did not taste right at all. read more

The crab was so delicious and the crazy Cajun haunts my dreams it was so flavorful. It's BYOB. Bring your appetite!! read more

The food at this place is amazing. But they are NEVER open. The last 5 times I've visited they've been closed during their normal business for no reason without any reason. read more

Super duper tasty. Best meal we've had in State College so far. They're only doing takeout/delivery atm but the food was prepared quickly. They have a discount for first-time orders on their own website. I thought I had ordered clams, but on the receipt it said we got mussels. It was still tasty. We'll definitely visit again!!! read more

Great seafood restaurant, ever since the Joe's Crabshack closed near us we've been hungering for a seafood boil place, we found this new venue in State College. Bonus; you can BYOB, liquor and beer store is very close. Had the King Crab, shrimp and lobster tails with crazy boil mild seasoning, great flavours and nice comfortable heat. You get over a dozen shrimp, good size crab legs (sweet) and two good size lobster tails. We also spilt a bowl of Gumbo soup, was good not great. The corn cob side was a nice compliment, didn't enjoy the raw potato. Staff was not very attentive, but the food came out quick and was well cooked. Very much enjoyed our meal, hope they continue to be successful and improve the service, look forward to our next visit to SC. read more

Amazing flavor. Can't believe the price for king crab, crawfish, and mussels. So delicious for such a reasonable price! You have to check this place out. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch. The place was completely empty so that should have been an indication. The menu really didn't inspire me, as there appeared to be no lunch selections, but I rolled with it and chose the seafood pasta. It was honestly terrible. The seafood quality was awful - you could tell it was all frozen seafood and to top it off it was all over cooked so it was very tough. There was also a very small amount of it. The pasta itself was very dry. First and last visit. read more

Good crab boil, wife loved it. We got takeout with a large family. Both times were good, but it is expensive.

Good atmosphere and service, but I thought the prices where a bit steep for the portions received. Didn't realize that when you create your own combo, you don't pay for a meal, but more a la carte. So, $30+ for two lobster tails and additional cost for any side. A side can amount to four pieces of broccoli. The crab legs arrive in a pool of sauce, which I thought would come on the side. Not sure why I would want sauce all over the crab legs when I am just going to have to crack the shells open. Meanwhile, I have sauce all over the place, none of which is on the actual crab meat, and it's looking more and more like a crime scene at my table...hmmm....probably will skip in the future. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. We went early to avoid the rush. Got complimentary hush puppies with dip as a starter; they were yummy, though the dip did come with a mildly unexpected kick. Ordered the gumbo and the "snow crab leg + Crazy Boil sauce + corn + sausage" combo. Both were quite good; I liked the gumbo in particular. Two nice touches: (1) bib, hand gloves, and eating utensils were included (see photo) and (2) automated, bubbly hand cleaner at the end of the meal. read more

My friend recommended me to come eat here, and I recently got the chance to. The environment was great-nice and clean. My husband and I loved the seafood, especially the Cajun flavor. My children loved the fried rice and their delicious garlic noodles. Our highlight was their fancy drink made like a volcano. We'll definitely go there again. read more

Really excellent food! Did a take out - shrimp head on boil, extra spicy classic Cajun flavor (yes, I am one of the weirdos that eats shrimp heads too!) and sweet potato fries. I was visiting from the Bay Area and let me tell you, that was a lot of shrimp for that price!!! Fries were delicious too. Staff was very helpful and polite, answering my questions and helping me decide. Food came out pretty quickly as well. read more

Food was very tasty and the service very friendly. We ordered fried oysters, gumbo, and head-on shrimp.

Absolutely amazing! Service was fast. Food was hot and delicious. The server was on point, had a smile, and looked like he actually enjoyed his job. The establishment was very clean. The crawfish were scrumptious, crab legs were juicy and not dry. We got Combo #3 and we do not regret it at all. Worth your time and appetite. read more

First, the food was delicious! My husband is from the south and he dug into our food with zeal. We order a combo dinner with a mild Crazy Boil seasoning and it hit the spot. Next, the service was considerate and genuine. David was the host and also took our order and took care of us throughout our meal. My daughter ordered a fruit tea that she ended up not caring for and David was very kind and brought her a new beverage and an additional drink (jasmine milk tea) for us to try. The hush puppies were good, wish we had ordered extra! It would be great if there was an alternative dipping sauce to have with them (just a suggestion) and dessert at any place that caters to a southern palette is a must! My 2 cents? Dessert Hush Puppies- Chocolate, Cinnamon Sugar, Lemon, etc. Or, the classics- Mississippi Mud Pie, Key Lime Pie and Banana Pudding. They could be served in small mason jars! All in all, we wish we lived there so we could eat there once a month! read more

Ok, let's put things in context. This is State College, Pa. We're pretty land locked, so getting any kind of fresh seafood is going to take some effort. But DC and Maryland arent that far away. According to our waitress, the shrimp were coming from India and the crawfish were coming from Lousiana. The fried shrimp are purchased re-breaded and frozen even though they use "fresh" shrimp for the boil... so maybe not the best procurement and treatment of their product, but the food tastes good and the staff is amazing! They've got a few nice, added touches that make for a nice experience. Prepare to get messy and prepare to enjoy it! The mild Garlic Butter sauce was divine! I'd dip anything I could find in that sauce. I hope in the future they expand the menu a bit to add a few other combo options or a create your own combo. read more

Crazy Boil - 1lb snow crab legs with medium spice garlic butter sauce. Plus sausage. - Seafood Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

So for my birthday I decided to get seafood boil, I traveled 45 minutes to get this food and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I got the combo #2 which has bread, corn, potato's, sausage, mussels, shrimp, and crab legs with the crazy boil sauce and it was delicious!!! It was sweet and spicy, with a little bit of a tang. The portions they give you is more than enough. I got full before I was done with half of it. It was just *chefs kiss* delicious! The Cajun rice was also really good! I definitely recommend trying it. It was really flavorful and the green onion brought the dish to life! The staff there is exceptionally kind and helpful, it's also really easy to pick up they have it waiting on a table for you right as you walk in the door. I called to make changes and it wasn't an issue the staff was super kind, they even offered to make my food on a day that they were closed (but I decided I could wait until the next day) which was really nice of them. You get what you pay for here, a definite must try! I will be back soon to try the lemon pepper sauce. read more

Solid seafood place!! Bring an appetite!! The diy boil is a great way to customize your dinner. Loved that the wait staff took the time to explain how to put together a dish, the types of seasonings, and extras. I got a pound of snow crab legs-cooked to perfection- with a couple sides like corn and potatoes in the signature crazy boil seasoning. Thrilled with my dinner through and through. Will definitely have to come back and soon! read more

Good service, I had the oysters and the were really fresh to be located in central PA. My fiance had shrimp and they were very tasty also. The crab rangoons are amazing and with a really peculiar taste!!! I give a 5 starts because is a really challenge to have this good flavors in central PA. read more

I've been to a few different boil restaurants: Boiling Crab in San Diego, Boiling Crab in Dallas, Smashing Crab, and Rocking Crab. I've always liked boiling crab the most, though the service wasn't friendly in Dallas and it's kind of a dive (but delicious). Crazy Boil was clean, the staff was very friendly and attentive, they had big, nice, and clean wash sinks outside of the bathroom which was better than wet naps in my opinion, the tables were very large, and they expanded on the traditional menu with some really good family friendly dishes. We ordered 3 lbs of king crab and 2 lbs of shrimp (I prefer head-on, wife prefers no head) with Crazy Boil flavor and mild (for my wife). The food was great. Just like the other places, their process gives the shrimp such a good texture. The shrimp is my favorite, but it was a new place for us so we wanted to try the king crab too. Both were excellent. I highly recommend the crazy boil flavor. The complimentary hush puppies made me like hush puppies again... The Cajun fries were excellent too (good spice on those) I was happy to bring my own beer and glad it is an option. We had such a great time. The food is delicious, and similar to that of some very popular high-end competitors, but the staff was as good as it gets. read more

What a great place to have a bite with friends. Great food, great service, and nothing but just one of the best meals in years. Do yourself a favor and visit here. Cajun shrimp fried rice is to die for ! Order 2 and take one home with you. Place is a little pricey tho, but worth it ! read more

Had a little bit higher expectation. The best part was the bread actually. Ordered one of the seafood mix dishes w/ couple of small plates. Seasoning is on the salty side, which was sort of expected for this type of restaurant, but the dishes could have more flavors like Cajun or some unique flavors m, which can boost the whole cuisine. It's something visual as you can see from the menu and at the end of dining you get a jar w/ water and a small tablet, which makes foam (looks like dry ice reaction, but no crazy temp drop), and you can wash your hands. Good place if you are going for fun, but not so much for food itself. read more

Crazy Boil is a new addition to State College, however it is great! I went to Crazy Boil for dinner with my roommates, upon arrival we were greeted by our server promptly. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the seafood boil options. My roommate and I got the crawfish boil and my other roommate got the shrimp boil head off. The food was good, full of good flavor and spices. The only thing I found lacking was the atmosphere. Overall, great service, average atmosphere, and good food. There's no other place like this in State College! read more

3 months ago this place was an easy 5 stars with great service, friendly staff, great food, large servings of food with reasonable prices. The Crazy Boil I knew is no longer there. Since the new owners took over this place, everything went in a downward spiral. The seafood is horrid. It seems as if my shrimp were reused from the day prior and the grilled oysters (6 for $14.99) were comparable to the size of quarters. The whole menu price increased while the portion sizes were no doubt cut in half. While I confronted the owners, letting her know about my meal and I was a regular that did not mind paying a good price for great seafood, she was really defensive and brushed off what I had to say. Save your money for a legitimate seafood restaurant that will not try to purloin your bucks and give you 1/3 of what you pay for. I will not be returning there. read more

The food tastes like from hell ever since they changed to Chinese owner. Overpricing with extremely low quality seafood is all what you can get. I have stomach ache right after having the food in 4 hours. 真鸡儿不好吃，还tm贵，还tm没服务 你吃了还要拉肚子 read more

Well, meh. Ate here again this weekend. It started out very nice! We are seated very quickly, they brought us complementary hush puppies which were very bland but served in this cute little basket along with a very flavorful sauce. I got the crab legs with the crazy boil which is a mixture of all of their sauces. At first, the sauce flavor reminded me of Chef Boyardee canned lasagna sauce. However, it kind of grew on me as I ate it. For the price I was worried it would only be two claws and it was.... but what are you gonna do. The true downer was their garlic pasta my husband got because he's allergic to most everything else. The garlic was completely under-cooked and almost completely inedible. The pasta was also under cooked, and I don't mean al dente. Really, I love pasta and garlic, but this was totally gross!! The drinks are pricy, and we both Got a soda, but the waitress didn't come back and ask us if we want to refill until we were done and wanted to check. I didn't see her refill anybody soda in the entire restaurant. read more

The people here are very nice, but if your looking for quality seafood this is not the place to go. Crawfish are big but not so fresh kind of dry. Shrimp had a good flavor and cooked perfect. Red potatoes not cooked enough and did not have flavor. Corn was over cooked and mushy. Overall the crazy boil was a good flavor, but it is kind of misleading. They definitely do not boil everything together making a traditional crawfish taste if you are from cajun country skip it completely. read more

We totally slept on this place! The best option for seafood in State College. Came here for Mothers Day, slight wait when we arrived left time for us to browse the menu and know what we wanted when it came time to order. 10 and 12 shared the snow crab bowl, I had headless shrimp, DH had crawfish. Extras (corn, potatoes, bread, rice) extra charge. Gumbo was delicious. Really, everything was. Complimentary hush puppies came out hot. Captain Andy's beverage tasted like a ray of sunshine on a crisp summer morning. Service was delightful. The gentleman who greeted us was very polite, we didn't mind the wait because he was so nice. Our server was very friendly and kind to the kids. Ahead of eating, we felt the price was a bit steep, but when it was all said and done, and we realized the portion sizes, our total was about average for a family of four to eat a seafood meal. For the kids, the best part of the outing was the bubble soap ;) Everyone left full. And we will be back. read more
