    Naked shrimps in Raisin Claw sauce
    Nhue G.

    I was craving Cajun shrimps, so we stopped by Raising Claw for dinner. The food and service were good here. They were also giving out complimentary Cajun or regular fries with our order, so that was a nice bonus. The Cajun fries were wonderful. They also offered ice cream at the end. We got naked shrimps with Raisin Cajun sauce. I like that you have the option to have peeled shrimps. The sauce was pretty addicting. It made me keep eating despite feeling pretty full. We also got some add-on items with the shrimps. Only weird thing I noticed is the boiled egg was added with the shell intact instead of being peeled. Kinda strange since it wouldn't absorb flavors that way.

    Great Seafood Boil Spot!

    Great local seafood boil spot! The regular and cajun fries are a hit, the crawfish and snow-crab are super fresh. The service was fast and friendly. Get the strawberry lemonade and margaritas, would come again!

    Seafood not tasty, undercooked, overpriced. Better frozen from Aldis . Carry out, takes way too long . Long wait times. 2 stars at best

    We went to this place by chance. It looked pretty new to me, but our server said they had been here…read morefor quite sometime. I really like that it is spacious (easy to walk around) and it had some funny and cool decor - it had an alligator display on the wall haha. There was also ample parking outside. This was inside a complex with other establishments. We had the following dishes: * Garlic Pasta - The sauce was creamy and the dish was filling and flavorful. It was so yummy. * Peeled Shrimp - This was juicy and delicious! * Calamari - Very crispy and the dipping sauce was good as well. It was a lot of food for us and we had take some home. Our server was nice and friendly! Hope to come back here again.

    I'm not a huge fan of the seafood boil style of eating, but I came here for a birthday dinner and I…read morewas somewhat impressed with the fried shrimp appetizer. It's all I ate, but it was a good value, good size shrimp and nice clean and crisp fry. Staff was great, although I wish they had lemons available, they only had limes. The batter of the shrimp could have used some seasoning, but the cocktail sauce was very good at making up for it. I was disappointed that some of the beef items from previous menus online were not on the menu, but their selection was still decent. TL;DR Fried Shrimp 7/10 -Good size -Good crispiness -Good cocktail sauce -Had limes/no lemons -Lacks seasoning

    Fire Crab is hands down one of my favorite spots for seafood boils! The sauce is perfectly…read moreseasoned, rich and flavorful without being overly salty. Unlike some places where I leave feeling bloated, I don't get that way here. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, which is harder to find than you'd think. A lot of seafood places tend to overcook shrimp, making it rubbery or soggy, but Fire Crab absolutely nailed it. And the garlic fries? Insane. They definitely do not hold back on the garlic, which I loved. The garlic noodles were also incredibly buttery, flavorful, and downright addictive. What really made our experience stand out was the service. We came with a large group, and the owner was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. Great food, amazing service, and consistently delicious flavors. Fire Crab is a spot I'll keep coming back to!

    A decent, fire 'boiling crab' type spot in the Garden Grove area when you're craving seafood boil…read moreor anything "fire-tastic." The seafood tasted really fresh overall, and the sauce was flavorful, and packed with seasoning. It was a little on the thin side since I like it thick and it couldve used a lot more garlic. We got crawfish, shrimp, and oysters. The crawfish were decently sized -- a few bigger pieces mixed in, but mostly medium-sized. Still, they tasted fresh and the flavor was really good The Kumomato oysters were just okay. I've definitely had fresher, colder oysters elsewhere, but honestly, I don't come to a shrimp and crawfish boil spot expecting right outta the water oyster bar quality. Overall, Fire Crab hits the craving well. Solid 4 stars all around! Service had great attitide!

    I've driven past Hot N Juicy Crawfish in Fountain Valley many times but never stopped in until now…read more We were looking for a happy hour that ran into the evening, and their 3-7 PM happy hour was exactly what we needed. There were five of us and were seated immediately on a Wednesday at 530pm. We ordered the Cajun fries, mozzarella sticks, shrimp po'boy, catfish po'boy, green mussels, no-head shrimp, fresh clams, and frozen crawfish (they were out of fresh crawfish and étouffée). Everything was so good that we ordered a second round of almost everything again but with black mussels and head-on shrimp. The head-on shrimp was definitely better than the no-head shrimp. Everything was coated in the Hot N Juicy seasoning, and it was delicious. My favorite was the fresh clams--they were a great size, packed with flavor, and had a subtle sweetness that paired perfectly with the seasoning. The head-on shrimp was my second favorite, followed by the mussels. The frozen crawfish was surprisingly good, but I'm looking forward to trying the fresh crawfish next time. The Cajun fries were tasty, but the portions are small, so we ended up ordering two baskets. The mozzarella sticks were just okay and not something I'd order again. Several of us ordered margaritas (I had the mango), but I wouldn't recommend them. They come in a tall glass instead of a traditional margarita glass and tasted more like a soju-based cocktail than a margarita. Service was decent, but a little slow considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, the food exceeded my expectations, and the happy hour prices make this a great value. I'll definitely be back for the fresh crawfish and, especially, the clams!

    I visited this establishment for evening rations after Sunday evening church service…read more I was seated rather promptly. I asked for "wooder" to drink and it had a rather strong taste of chlorine. Because of the chlorine taste I am dinging this establishment one point. I ended up ordering Dr. Pepper and got free refills. I really wish Pepsi would have been available. I ordered the Catfish Basket which had four pieces of catfish and French Fries. The food was tasty but I really should have ordered the catfish without any spices. Men's washroom was clean but lacked paper towels so I am dinging this establishment one point for that. As far as personal appearance of the employees is concerned I am glad to see the guys wore their t shirts tucked in which I consider to be professional. I did notice one of the employees wore Black Levi's. At the conclusion of my visit I was given a peppermint and a little moistened hand towel which I thought was a nice touch. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C.

    I've gone to so many Boiling Crab locations since I was a kid, but this is my favorite of all time…read morefor a number of different reasons. First and foremost, the tables are reasonably spaced out and there's room to walk between them in the restaurant. If I get stuck behind chairs on my way to restroom and my hands are sticky for longer than they need to be, I'm going to end up screaming because that's a sensory nightmare, LMAO. I don't have that issue here because it ain't cramped andddd they even have an accessible ramp for our disabled folks. +10000 points for accessibility!!!!! Secondly, the restaurant plays pretty solid music (like 90s r&b, hehe) and the overall volume is respectable -- not overstimulatingly loud with yelling or speakers blaring like other spots. My friend and I were watching the FIFA World Cup final match between Spain and Argentina here, and were pleased that they had it streaming on every TV. It was different watching the game with music playing over it instead, but I'm not complaining. Okay now for the actual food portion of the review: a lot of people talk about how seafood boils and Boiling Crab's sauce specifically makes their stomach hurt. I'm pleased to announce that this is the only Boiling Crab that doesn't have me fighting for my life after dining here. The flavor is exquisite and seafood portions are just right. Idk what their chef is doing differently at this location, but I sure hope that they never stop doing it. During today's visit, we shared (1) lb shrimp and (1) lb snow crab in whole shabang sauce and mild spice level with sausage, potatoes, and corn. My friend also ordered gumbo and rice (because you gotta have rice). During past visits, I've gotten live crawfish and their crab fries. Love and recommend both! Lastly, the service is always amazing. Memorable servers in the past include David Duong and today's server was Jess. Both went above and beyond to make sure my dining experience was perfect, so I hope they get their roses for their hard work.
