I went yesterday and Casandra was an amazing server! She was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. She made our experience so enjoyable. Will definitely be back. Thank you, Casandra! read more

My friend absolutely loves this place, and I go because I love her... but the day she lets me convince her to head further north or even south, it's over. My biggest gripe is the lack of a traditional seafood boil spread. No eggs, no potatoes (or maybe it's corn?), no hushpuppies, and they only offer head-on shrimp, etc. The wings took -- no exaggeration -- about 45 minutes for a count of six on a moderately busy day. There's also no hand-washing sink or station like most seafood boil spots have, which just feels odd. Overall, it doesn't give "seafood restaurant," it gives Tex-Mex mariscos. Very limited non-alcoholic drink options too. If you're here for the shrimp/crab only, great. Otherwise, there are better options. read more

5/10 they'll mess up your order, so please check before leaving the restaurant. Quality of food can be hit or mess, but the flavor profile is why I've come back. read more

Ideal for an extended date or a long friendly meal. Patiently enjoy peeling your meal while having a conversation with your family and friends. The only downside is King crab legs are no longer on the menu. Otherwise, food was good. Cassandra was very patient and attentive with us. We visited from Houston and we will visit again. read more

Flavor smacks time after time! I've lived in Dallas for 5 years and eaten at HELLA boil spots.... hands down, BEST IN TOWN! There are a couple close contenders, but for consistently Husain, fast service, clean tables, no frills, tons of beer and juicy crab legs..... Rockin' Crab all day! read more

Rocking Crab - Little bit of heaven - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The absolute worst seafood boil I've ever had! The restaurant was clean and the sever was very nice and that's the 1 star. They only have head-on shrimp which was so much work to eat, but at least they were tender. The sausage tasted like freezer burn and as if they had been made 3 days ago ana reheated. The corn was hard as a rock and also tasted like freezer burn. I don't think it was actually COOKED. The potatoes were nice and soft though. So I got the combined sauces in HOT and I didn't even feel any spice at all. Over all meh! Also my Dr. Pepper was flat and tasted like watered down off brand soda. I did order an a la carte piece of catfish and surprisingly it was very good. I can't tell if it's domestic or Swai but it had a good flavor and seasoning to it. read more

Nah... Disappointing. I'm going to be completely honest, The snow crabs were huge! But the rocking sauce was not good. I got a fajita seasoning and lots of pepper flavor. It's definitely not the boil we're use to. The name and the look of the restaurant, I expected Louisiana flavors but it tasted more like Hispanic mariscos. We paid about $250, we were not satisfied. Also, I later realized we were charged for a pound of shrimp and we did not receive any shrimp. ‍ read more

1 star is for their customer service We arrived at 10pm, we walked in right after a family of about 7. We were 5 and were told they were only doing to go orders. We drive a long way, I always rave about Rocking Crab because the food is good. So we decided to place our $100+ to go order after driving so far. We waited about 20 minutes we get our order and only got 2 small containers of butter. My daughter proceeds to go order more butter and she was told they don't have anymore because the ones we can see sitting on the counter are for to go orders. Then the young girl at the counter hears my daughter telling me and she says if you want to wait 15 minutes we can get you some butter. I said no!!! This was so ridiculous!!! She could have sold me the butter on the counter, and in 15 minutes she'd have more for to go orders. Management needs to train the entire staff (2 older women and 2 younger girls) at the counter on customer service. So disappointed! A place I once loved is ruined by untrained employees that are just plain clueless about serving the customer standing right in front of you. read more

Ordered my food, sat down started eating then my son told me "mommy there's a roach" on the seat then got onto table next to us. I thought that was super disgusting. I seriously couldn't eat anymore. Manager just apologized that was about it he cleaned left & then we seen another roach. At that point I was done. It wasn't cheap either I paid $100.00 for the food read more

Online ordering was very simple and user-friendly. Once I went in to receive my food, it was ready, and when I open the bag everything was cooked to perfection. I had the Cajun style, medium spicy crawfish and crab legs. It was a fantastic flavor! read more

Rocking Crab - Crawfish crabs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I ordered the 1/2 pound snow crabs/ 1/2 pound shrimp & 1/2 pound smoked sausage. It came with 1 corn and about 5 small potatoes cut in half. I will say the snow crab was good have flavor the shrimp didn't I had to dip it in the sauce to add spice and flavor. I would give it a 6/10 Being a New Orleans native I'm so use to having my seafood boiled with the spices and seasoning and not being put on top my seafood. read more

Crawfish is soooo fresh and amazing all the prices are affordable especially for the amount of food you get , great service and always clean read more

My husband had dined here recently and loved the food so I wanted to give them a try. This was my first "Cajun food in a bag" experience so I wasn't sure what to expect. They brought out plastic bibs and ginormous plastic gloves. I clumsily tried the gloves (think clown sized gloves) but unfortunately decided to forego the bib. Big mistake after I noticed my dirty shirt from the sauce! We ordered a pound of king crab legs and shrimp. Unfortunately, they only offer starchy vegetables so not good for those on the Keto diet. I love my veggies so this was a disappointment. The food arrived to the table quickly and super hot. My husband loved the crab legs, although it took longer to extract the meat than to actually eat it. The shrimp, cooked in the shell, was delicious. We opted for the spicy mix of sauces, as recommended by our waitress. Super good! The area is a little sketchy and the restroom was disgustingly filthy. I would definitely recommend their food, especially as carry-out. read more

Rocking Crab - Cockroach on my beer after crawling over the sauce. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Rocking Crab is a Korean-owned seafood restaurant with a unique taste I haven't found anywhere else that really speaks to Latinos. Or to put another way, Rocking Crab has a customer base is a majority Latino. The sauce that goes with the seafood at Rocking Crab is a style that I have not had before. I'm only familiar with Chinese, Viet-Cajun and NOLA style. And even then, my experience with NOLA style is limited. I haven't found another place with sauce similar to that of Rocking Crab's. If you're a crawfish fan, I would put this on your list of crawfish places to try then due to its uniqueness. read more

This is definitely not Boiling Crab by any means. The flavor is different for sure. Ordered the crawfish whole sha-bang and king crab legs with corn & sausage. Not a bad preparation overall, especially if you are not in the mood for a long wait at BC. The ambience is good & we were seated immediately.They offer gloves to keep your hands mess free, which is great. They have a good choice of beers - Kirin & Sapporo too. Fast and attentive service staff. The pricing is moderate so it's not a bad deal overall. read more

THIS PLACE IS INFESTED WITH ROACHES. We saw two at our table. Requested a different table and saw another. As we were getting up to leave, another table had TWO crawling on the table. That party of 7 got up and left. Looking in the back of the kitchen I saw bug spray, so they know about the infestation. I asked to speak to a manager and of course there is not one here. We were given a phone number (2145973306) to call with no answer of course. There's apparently no manger on site. Just roaches. From what I did eat- the food was overly salted and overcooked. read more

Rocking Crab - ROACH - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Rocking Crab is a Cajun style seafood restaurant on the edge of Dallas's Korea town. They specialize in seasoned boiled crawfish along with fried seafood options. Rocking Crab is an alternative to Boiling Crab/Tasty Tails for people (like me) who live closer the middle of DFW. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Rocking Crab's interior is very similar to BC. There are big wooden plank floors, booths, and chairs. Not sure if the staff would be happy if you wrote your name on it though. It's wasn't full on an early Friday evening (5:30). Not sure if it's a good sign or not. Since I have kids, waiting is no fun so it's a plus for me. 1 Star. Service - Our server was very nice, although the staff did appear to be quite young. While some reviewers pointed out issues with service, ours was very good with the basics. Our order was taken quickly, food came out fast, drinks constantly refilled, & buckets of crawfish shells cleared when full. Our main issue is we ordered 3 extra ears of corn, and something got lost in translation because we ended up with like 6 extra orders (3 per order). I don't think they understood, nor did they remove it from our bill. 1/2 Star. Food - Ok, I'll start with the crawfish. They're a very nice size & fresh with no "dead" ones in the mix. But they were a bit under seasoned. The Cajun flavors were good, but the ones that soaked longer tasted better. That being said, I still rank Boiling Crab as the best with Tasty Tails a very close second. Rocking crab is in neither's league, but it by no means is bad. It's good not great. On the other hand, I really enjoyed their other fried offerings. Their Cajun fries were great. They were slightly battered & seasoned (or heavily seasoned & fried). Either way I was surprised & even liked them more than BC's sweet potato fries. The fried shrimp & fish were equally good, with a nice, light cornmeal crust that was slightly sweet. 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Rocking Crab is a great location for me & is cheaper than BC\TT. That being said, the crawfish isn't as good as the other two but it's not bad either! The fried seafood items are an excellent bonus, so I will definitely be back. 1 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

I walk in and I walk out - I was excited about the opening of this restaurant till I walk in , the smell was the 1st thing that got me , then just looking around I felt they needed a lot of work ahead of them read more

This place is really easy to find and there were no issues with parking or waiting. In fact, there were only 3 other tables on a Sunday night so I hope they make it. Ordered the fries like everyone else to munch on while we decided on 2lbs of craw fish and the number 3 combo: shrimp and crab legs. Around 40 bucks for all of that and a beer. By the way, the service was great. The young man kept coming by to make sure we were happy patrons. *thumbs up* So something interesting with the sauce that I was not prepared for even though I read the reviews was that there is soooo much raw garlic in it. When you order your plastic bag of yumminess it comes doused in red "cajun-flavored" sauce with enough raw garlic in it to ensure none of us will ever become vampires. As a garlic fan I loved it, even though I brushed my teeth twice already and can still taste it the next day, but I know everyone can't possibly like that. So garlic haters please be warn. But I'm sure if you told the waitstaff you're not into garlic they would remove it for you. I also got medium spice sauce with the extra hot on the side to see if it was spicy at all. And verdict is- even the medium spicy sauce got me sweating a bit but I think it has a better flavor than the extra hot. Overall the craw fish and crab legs were good. I was a little disappointed with the shrimp as my whole bag with the exception of one or two were kind of old and hard to peel. The sauce is really the issue making me unsure whether to give this place a 3 or a 4. For me it didn't taste like cajun, but Korean. And yes, I know it's in K-town but still. If you're going to say it's cajun, make it so. I personally think the sauce could be used as a badass marinade for pork or something. So grill that ish and give me some rice. :P read more

Rocking Crab - Number 3 combo with shrimp and crabs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Sauces were very good. Prices about average market price for seafood. I got the mild sauce on the side and Cajun and garlic butter in my bag. I also tried some of my friends who got the hot sauce. All the sauces were fantastic. The hot wasn't hot in my opinion but the flavor was really good. The restaurant was clean and service was good. The reason for the three stars is because I don't think they cooked the shrimp long enough. It wasn't raw or anything but the shells were extremely difficult to peel off. And I even ended up mangling a few shrimps just trying to get the shell off. read more

I got the crawfish and Cajun fries. The crawfish sauce is similar to the Boiling Crab and Tasty Tails but not as thick. It's still really good though. I got two pounds but it had to be more like 3 pounds! That's the right type of problem to have! Lol. The server was terrific! I wish I remembered her name. They give you this funny looking bib that looks like it was cut in half. We were obviously struggling so one of the employees came over to help us. You kind of had to peel it open to reveal the entire thing; kind of like two-ply paper towels except it doesn't pull apart. The Cajun fries were crispy but not too crispy and they were very, very well seasoned. And for $3 you get a huge amount! I would definitely recommend coming here, especially during happy hour because, beer is only $.99 for a Dos Equis! Who knew! Overall it was a great experience. read more

We wanted to try boiling crawfish but they were closed. So we found rocking crab that closes at midnight and decided to give it a try. I'm not comparing Boiling to Rocking because I have never been to Boiling. Parking was horrible outside, so I was assuming it was from the Rocking Crab but there were only few customers there. We had 4 pounds of crawfish. I do like the freshness of the crawfish and its probably in season. The crawfish were not flavorful or anything. It seemed like it was just boiled and the sauce were poured over the crawfish. The sauce was not Louisiana style. I'm a pretty disappointed at this place. The service wasn't great. Waited until we finished our food to get refills for our drinks. We finished and waited like 20 minutes to get our check. Well actually they never came so we had to go to them and ask them to check us out. They were taking care of other big groups. I don't think I would be coming back until their cooking is improved. Their bathroom were very messy. Paper towels were everywhere in the sink, trash can were full so there were paper all over the floors. They had no soap which is a no no at a crawfish restaurant. I was unable to clean my hands. The paper rolls had crawfish sauce all over it in the bathroom. read more

Rocking Crab - Mild crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My parents just came home from this restaurant. They arrived at 9:20 and was told they were only taking to-go orders since they closed at 10. I work at a restaurant, that is definitely not something a restaurant should be doing, but they agreed and ordered. On the way to the car they realized they were missing their French fries and they turned back and realized they had sat the people that arrived AFTER them. And yes they were WHITE. My mom complained because yes they were discriminating. She was told the manager wasn't there!!! Not to mention the lady working to-go forgot to put everything my mom had asked for. And yes they got THE WHOLE ORDER WRONG. read more

Pretty decent crawfish joint. Came here late during Fat Tuesday. Looks like we missed the rush but then they were not caught up yet. Still a lot of tables that hasn't been cleaned and the cashier seems a little flustered. We got the extra spicy crawfish and boy did it not disappoint, it was spicy! We also tried their clams, wouldn't order it again. The clams were huge, about the size of my palm so it was chewy. Cajun chicks wings were crispy and tasty. Cancun fries were addictive. read more

Rocking Crab - Extra spicy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We came here on a Sunday. We've always eyed this place because it's so close to us. We got a take out order so I can't comment on ambiance or anything. But we did call this order in and it only took them 15 mins which was great. We got 3 pounds of crawfish, pound of sausage, corn, and potatoes. I have to say their crawfish was huge. Rocking crab probably has one of the most big crawfish we out there considering we went somewhere the previous place and it wasn't as big. Flavor wise it's okay. I like mine super saucey and thick. Rocking crab's sauce is a little thin. Overall, not a bad place to go to. read more

crawfish season! I was so excited to eat crawfish again! I always had a go-to place back in Austin but I didn't really know a good place here. crawfish is $8.99 per pound when I went (2/26/18). I got 1 pound in cajun sauce, extra hot. I also added a corn for $0.85 and side of rice for $2. they also had bottled beers for $1! this was such a good deal. I normally eat lots of spicy food so I was able to handle extra hot but it was really really spicy as I ate more and more haha maybe I'll just get it hot next time. nonetheless, I was happy and my tummy was happy too :) read more

I used Uber Eat to order 2 lb of steamed crawfish with the extra hot rocking sauce. It was quite good. Their sauce is amazing!! It wasn't fresh crawfish season, so I think those crawfished were frozen. I asked for four pieces of lemon with the order, and the restaurant remembered to do so. read more

This place is my favorite place to go in the DFW area. I come to eat here maybe 1-2 times a week. The flavors of the shrimp is phenomenal! Also out of all the places I've tried out this place seems to be the most affordable. Their menu is plain and simple which is just what I need. But unfortunately there is a con about this place which is the quality of service from their servers. It seems like once they take your oder and deliver your food, they disappear. Once I called to ask the restaurant what their hours were during 4th of July (this was a few days before the actual holiday) and no one picked up, later that day I went to eat there and I noticed that they would let their phone ring until the caller hangs up. Sometimes the servers would sit behind the register and be on their phones. We would have to wave them down to get our check or we would have to wait for long periods of time before they would come and refill our drinks. But overall I can deal with the servers because I love their food so much. The flavors and the quality of food is there for sure. read more

Horrible personal , no social distance, my family and I waited over 1 hr , then the table that was next for Us where 2 persons were eating before us was denied for us because " it was for 5 persons " then they try to get us another table so close from other persons with no social distance, we ask the waiter to give us the table that was assigned for us but she said it was for a larger group for more than 5 persons when clearly before that there was only 2 persons eating . Then she said that we we got if you want to seat if there if not wait more time ??? Place wasn't clean and personal seem careless.

I don't know what happened to this place while I traveled to other city. I was so excited eat this place again after got back to home but I really disappointed. I ordered 1LB of crawfish with extra spicy and requested them to separate bag for corn and potato without sauce. It's one of my way to made less spicy taste while eating extra spicy. This time is crawfish season and only I tried eat crawfish when they're season but this place crawfish was half fresh and half wasn't fresh also tasted changed from when I used eat this place. I understood this place got busy because crawfish season. Really hard to order for to-go by phone call cuz no one answers. I was tried called them for 30mins for order but no one picked the phone up and I had to go this place for order. It was a bit annoyed because this place was not too closed my house and I have to waited there for my foods ready to-go. I got stomach sick from some of this place food this time, I never had been before even if I eat extra spicy. Corn was wash from water. Probably they puts same bags and they're just wash corn cuz I requested them to without sauce. It tasted really sucks. It would be better if they're just gave me and explained to me that. If so, I will understand and not disappointed from that. This place was my one of favorite go to spot and I loved this place but I don't thinking I will try this place again from now on. read more

This place is located in a very Korean area just off of Royal Lane. I've been searching for crawfish to eat in the Dallas Area and I think I found my spot The good: - Crawfish: At $8.99 a pound, this better be good. Thankfully, crawfish is in season and we got their version of "the whole sha-bang" aka a mix of all their offerings (cajun/garlic butter/lemon pepper), which was nice and flavorful - Cajun Fries: Tons of fries with cajun seasoning - Corn: Corn + Sauce is delicious any time - Sausage: Nice and tasty - Clean environment with TV's - Gloves plus a plastic apron The bad: - Perhaps it was training day, but our waitress got our order wrong multiple times example: Ordered medium cajun fries, brought out large regular fries. Tried ordering a few items, but they had to keep checking whether or not it was available. Otherwise, she was definitely nice. Overall, a pretty solid 4 stars for Rocking Crab's crawfish, fries, corn, and sausage read more
