This place has the best sauce in my opinion. The whole she-bang in medium heat because you have to remember the spice BUILDS and so if you start of medium you're mouth will only be on fire at the end of consuming 2 pounds versus raging behemoth if you got anything spicier than medium. LOL. Our server Huy was great! We told him it was our friend's birthday and later a crew of 4 came over to clap and sing happy birthday to her. It's a clean space with ample seating. Not too busy on a Tuesday evening. It's part of LINQ, which is building up. Plenty of parking and there's even outdoor seating. Crawfish is 13.99/pound right now. The french fries were crispy, hot and soft in the center. Fried shrimp was tasty and the chicken wings were piping hot and oh so crunchy. I would have liked celery and carrot sticks with my wings. read more

I really liked the boiling crab when I was in the dfw area, so I was happy to know it finally opened its location in Austin. We went there on a weekday and it was crowded but not overly packed. We waited for about 5 minutes before being seated. We ordered the 1lb crawfish with added boiled eggs and potatoes. We selected the mild spicy with Shabang sauce,and had lemon Pepper chicken wings for appetizers with a margarita. The wings came out around 15 min and it was fresh and hot. I think the wings crispy-ness was so on point. Tender to every bite and the seasoning was just so perfect. To save some room for the crawfish, I had to refrain myself from eating too many. The crawfish came out a bit after and the seasoning was garlicky, spicy, with Cajun and had a limey kick to it. It was good that we got mild because it would get spicier as you make your way through. Overall, I think everything was great. I also love the ambience as well, it gives a coastal vibe. The pricing is a bit higher than the other crawfish stores, but I think given the atmosphere and ambience, it's worth it. Can't wait to bring friends here. read more

Delicious food, spacious, excellent options & good service! I've had a hankering for a crab boil & since we were in Austin we decided to try out this newer restaurant. We went on a Sunday & saw large groups of tables put together to accommodate bigger families (for those that may have a lot of folks to feed). We were seated without too much of a wait (we were there around 4:30). Unlike some crab boils that automatically give you potatoes, corn & sausage - this location customizes the bag boil based on each person's choices: pick seafood/protein, flavor (Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic or the big Shazam - all 3 mixed), level of spiciness, & veggies are ordered la carte. I got all 3 flavors, snow crab, clams, boiled egg & corn - ohhh wee!! I was surprised that I couldn't order crab by half pound however, I'm so glad I waited before I ordered Dungeness crab... I was waaay too full. Thanks to our Server D for your patience & recommendations. They brought out the food as it was ready. As I do with most crab places, I recommend taking off your rings, don't be too shy - wear the bib & gloves & DIG in!! read more

I'm glad to have another seafood boil spot in town, especially one closer to me. I came in on a Sunday afternoon and waited about 40 min before getting seated. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered some mussels, shrimp, and king crab legs with the shabang sauce. The crab legs came in a separate bag than the shrimp and mussels and the sauce was a lot saltier than the sauce in the shrimp/mussels bag. However, all of the seafood tasted fresh and delicious. read more

If you ask me what I'm doing, 9 times out of 10 I will say I'm thinking about the next time I can have boiling crab. While only open for a couple of weeks in Austin, I've already gone multiple times and already have plans to go again! Everything here is immaculate, from the attentive and friendly service, the DELICIOUS SEASONING AND SUCCULENT SEAFOOD, and the yummy wings. You literally cannot go wrong here! I loved the snow crab and mussels with the whole shabang sauce and the wings were honestly better than most wing places in town. I usually come on weeknights and haven't had to wait more than 20 minutes when I come early, even when they were first opening. The best part is the lil boiling crab bib that they give you, and the pristine crab eating tools. Literally writing this review is making me want to go back! read more

FOOD: was ok NOT the Best! SERVICE:AMAZING WITH NOT WAIT COMING IN THE DOOR. AMBIANCE:CLEAN NICE COMFORTABLE The one bad thing I will say is that I wish they did the bags where everything all came in side it already like different option bags. How they do it,You have to pick what all options you want selected on the menu. My sausages was kinda hard My eggs was good My crab legs was good My shrimp was good The SAUCE ALL COMBINED WAS AMAZING. I Had got extra sauce it was that good. They are pretty much new they have a lot of catching up to do with the others seafood boil places. The other bad thing is they didn't have ANY frozen drinks.That was disappointing to say the least. read more

Came here on grand opening day - the line was huuuuugeeeee. So many people came on day 1 excited to try the new seafood spot in town. I did end up waiting about 2 hours to get seated and a total of 1 1/2 hr dining in. By the time we were seated a lot of things were already sold out I had the crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and sausage with medium heat + house sauce. Their medium was pretty spicy for me so if you have a low tolerance I suggest going mild. Given that they were packed and super busy I would come back to try it again once the hype has died down. I really enjoyed the flavor- the shrimp was a little over cooked and the crawfish were small (it's still early in the season). I do think some items are overpriced but I heard crawfish had a bad season so it's more expensive than ever. TLDR Get mild if you can't handle heat Be ready to drop a bag Long waits because it recently opened read more

I tried two different flavors - lemon pepper and the whole sha bang! For me, I liked the lemon pepper but i know the whole sha bang is most popular! Im not a very spicy kind of gal so if youre the same then i would do the lemon pepper mild! Staff was very friendly and attentive! Had a great experience overall! read more

A horrible dining experience with them. I found a 2 inch long black screw nail in my seafood boiling. The manager came without any apologies. He said he can't believe their kitchen has this kind of stuff. He can only offer a small discount. I was so shocked by the manager's attitude, even we have a 5 years old child dining with us. Looks like he has zero regret to have the little kids eating the food which has a screw nail in it. They finally waived the seafood boil and charged for the small dish and drinks. What makes me so sick is the manager has no apologies from the beginning to end. I'm so disappointed with The Boiling Crab. read more

I have been going to the boiling crab in Alhambra California for the longest and I was excited to see that a boiling crab opened up here in Austin. We came by on a Friday evening and waited about 10 minutes before we got seated which isn't too bad given this place is always packed on the weekends. We had the snow crab and we were glad that the crawfish was still in season. Ordered about 3 lbs of crawfish and 2 clusters of snow crab for about 3 people with the whole shabang sauce. Everything came out fresh as expected and tasted amazing. Great atmosphere and they play the best music. Will be coming back very soon read more

Four stars because the Hurricane should never miss, especially at a place with such strong New Orleans influences. Their Lil Easy Margarita, though, is always good so next time, I'm sticking with that. I love all the New Orleans touches throughout the building. They give the place so much personality. There's indoor seating and a patio if you want to sit outside, and the whole place has that casual, hip vibe. Our server, Alouette, like the nursery rhyme, was such a joy. She was sweet, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. We ended up talking with her about the A Different World reboot on Netflix! The parking lot is small, but there's nearby street parking in the neighborhood, so parking isn't a dealbreaker. They also have happy hour specials, and the after work crowd is lively without being overly busy. As an East Austin resident, Lil' Easy is one of my favorite places to stop for a drink and a bite. It's casual, hip, has great food, and absolutely screams East Austin. I'll definitely be back.

My friend says the crab here is the best around so I had to try one of his snow crab legs and I agree that it was juicy, hot, and the buttery cajun sauce was delicious! I tried the hot and the very hot- I think the hot was perfect, the very hot didn't seem too bad at first but it definitely builds into a slow intense heat that made my face sweat and nose run XD My husband got a shrimp boil and they were perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and fast (and they were dressed up for Halloween which was cute) and the interior is spacious and they had no issues getting us a table for 7 on a Saturday afternoon. Drinks- the beer was a good price and my mixed drink was only ok but that was my fault because I asked for no syrup not realizing the drink had sour in it so it was way too tart lol. 2nd drink was a Jellyfish and that was great! I'd definitely come back for a boil or another po boy.

The restaurant has lots of seating and it has a very chill vibe. There are plenty of TVs to watch sports games and there is a bar as well. Calamari: The calamari was very crispy and a good portion. The flavor was also very neutral and there was not any weird tastes. However, I wish the calami came out warmer as it was a bit lukewarm when it arrived to the table. Shell Shocker: This boil was really good! The portion is good and the prices are standard. I got the Hook & Reel special blend and it was extremely flavorful and yummy. Next time, I am going to get the spicy because the mild had ZERO spice. This boil came with corn, two potatoes, crab, and shrimp.

Our introduction to the menu let alone the establishment put me right at a family function. 90's jams playing in the background with a few games on if your a sports person. i ordered the chicken wing dinner with yams and okra. My big guy ordered the swai with red bean and rice & mean greens. Mac n cheese & shrimp egg rolls from recommendation! Drink options were plentiful and homemade also! Wait time wasn't extreme since we can on a tuesday afternoon. Now he wasn't lying when we were told ANYTHING we get on the menu would be good. I trusted him with my gut immediately after he said it. Everything was so divine. So clean and flavorful. i love my cornbread sweet so that was a superrr plus for me. He even brought over grits for us to try & that jawn was so creamy.

The atmosphere was nice! Great music, beautiful setup, and an overall cool vibe. The food presentation was appealing for the most part, so I was excited to dig in. We ordered the oxtails over rice, okra, macaroni and cheese, catfish, pork chop, and a chicken wing. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the hype. Before even tasting the oxtails, I noticed an unusual fatty substance surrounding the meat. Once I tasted it, the flavor reminded me more of ham hock than traditional oxtails. The catfish also had an unfamiliar taste that wasn't what I expected from catfish. The seasoning was inconsistent. Some bites were overly salty, while others were actually delicious. The macaroni and cheese was okay, but nothing memorable. Now, that ONE chicken wing? Delicious! My husband and I split it, and ironically, it ended up being the best thing we tasted. What really disappointed me was the customer service when I tried to resolve the issue. After tasting the oxtails and catfish, I approached the staff and politely asked whether I could exchange the dish for something else, even offering to pay the difference. I wasn't asking for free food. I simply wanted something I could enjoy. I was told they don't allow substitutions. Instead, I was offered MORE of the same oxtails I had just explained I didn't like. When I clarified that I wanted a different dish, I was told nothing could be done because I had already eaten from the plate. Well, of course I tasted it! How else would I know whether I liked it? At that point, I simply said okay and walked out. The food has that homemade, straight-from-somebody's-kitchen quality, but unfortunately, that also came with inconsistent seasoning and flavors that didn't work for me. For a restaurant receiving this much attention, I expected more than a nice atmosphere and one delicious chicken wing. I expected quality, consistency, and customer service that made me want to return. I understand restaurants have policies, but there's a difference between someone trying to get something for free and a paying customer genuinely trying to find something on the menu they can enjoy. The atmosphere was great. The chicken was delicious. Everything else, including how my concerns were handled, left me disappointed. Would I recommend it? Not based on my experience. TikTok brought me through the door, but the food and customer service didn't give me a reason to come back.

Fortunately for us, we looked across the street and saw this spot which turned out to be a gem. It's a cajun meat market that doubles as a cajun kitchen. They offer simple, no frills dishes that are pretty tasty and true to Louisiana cuisine. There's limited seating and while there's a steady number of folks coming in, didnt see anyone not grt a table so the flow is pretty steady for geoups of 4 or less. If you're bringing a group larger than 4, you may have a hard time seating everyones. We had the shrimp po boy and the roast beef boy. The french bread on both was amazing: warm and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Both were loaded pretty generously and came with lettuce, tomato pickles and mayo. The side we chose were fries which were pretty spectacular: thinly cut and well seasoned. The only sad part is that it's way north for us. We'd probably be there more often if ot were closer.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Boiling Crab, and I must say that the experience was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Andrea, was an absolute gem. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our dining experience memorable. She took the time to explain the menu, recommend some of her favorite dishes, and ensure that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her professionalism and positive attitude truly made a difference. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing! The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the seasoning was spot on. We particularly enjoyed the shrimp and crab, which were cooked to perfection. The Boiling Crab's signature seasoning added a delicious kick that we couldn't get enough of. Overall, our visit to The Boiling Crab exceeded our expectations, thanks in large part to the outstanding service provided by Andrea. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to our friends and family. Keep up the great work! read more

I've been to The Boiling Crab a few times now, and it's easily one of my go-to spots when I'm craving seafood--especially during peak crawfish season! They've got a solid variety of seafood to choose from. Fair warning: t's a bit pricey, but the quality and flavor are soooo worth it. I'm constantly introducing my friends to this place when they're looking to get their hands dirty. Here's how it works: You pick your seafood by the pound (shrimp is the only exception--you can order it by the piece or less than a pound). Then, you choose from four flavors--my go-to is garlic butter--and pick your spice level. I stick with medium (level 3), but if you're feeling bold, level 4 is the max. Service is quick, the staff is efficient, and they do a great job keeping things moving. The only downside? The wait times can be brutal--the longest I've waited has been up to an hour and a half. Plus, you'll see a lot of big groups here, and let's just say the crowd can be...interesting. Not exactly your typical Austin vibe, but hey, they're paying customers. Don't let that stop you--it's worth it! read more

If you're craving a top-notch seafood boil, Boiling Crab is the place to be! I came here recently and had an amazing experience, thanks in large part to my server, Kelly. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure our table had everything we needed. The food was fantastic--perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. We went all in with the shrimp, crawfish, and crab legs in the Whole Shabang sauce, and it did not disappoint! The seafood was fresh, and the spice level was just right. We also loved the Cajun fries and crispy fried catfish as the perfect side snacks. Even though the restaurant was busy, Kelly made us feel taken care of the entire time. She checked in frequently, kept our drinks full, and had such a great attitude that made the meal even more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back for more seafood boil! read more

Huge shoutout to Eli W at Boiling Crab in The Linc! We celebrated my niece's 11th birthday here, and this was my third visit--but by far the BEST experience thanks to Eli. His customer service was absolutely top-tier. He was incredibly attentive, constantly checking on our table, making sure our drinks stayed full, and making sure every single one of us was taken care of. We never had to ask for anything because he was already on it! Employees like Eli are hard to find. If Boiling Crab doesn't realize how lucky they are to have him, they're seriously overlooking an incredible team member. If you're dining here, do yourself a favor and ask for Eli W. He'll make your experience 10x better. Thank you, Eli, for helping make my niece's birthday extra special! read more

The food was pretty good as far as the crawfish. Would have loved to try more on the menu but service could have been better. My waiter literally took my first order and never returned to my table.

Walking in, I was flooded with memories of older times, where I would saddle up to the bar with a mate and start into so Oysters/beer and laughs. Not much has changed, which I found comforting. We were graciously welcomed and lead over to our table. My team was there and we all ordered some drinks. It as lunch, so no beers for me today. As I almost forgot how full and simple the menu was. All sorts of stuff I forgot, including the alligator bites, which a colleague purchased, so others could try. Small knock on this, they weren't as punchy as I recall, perhaps a tad overcooked, but nonetheless, entertaining. I ordered a sweet tea.. haven't have that in a leap year or more. It was perfect! There was so much damage I wanted to do to the menu, but in the end, I settled for the Crispy Salmon and Jumbo Crab. There was no sparing the butter on this dish. Salmon, I mean I cook a great deal of Salmon, was an absolute gem. Crispy and not overcooked and the Jumbo Crab was a nice addition. It did come with a different broccolini, which was a little undercooked, but I'm really being picky here. I ate it all and left butter on the plate. A complete no-no. The ambiance was like it always has been. Busy, colourful and well appointed. Our server, was very knowledgeable about the menu and another colleagues allergy. They checked a couple times to make sure there wouldn't be any mistakes in the kitchen. That was appreciated. I found myself wishing they were closer to my next of the woods, W71/Old Bee Caves road, since it would be another place to frequent again.

She suggested The Dry January; it was spot on. Of course, I got my favorite, the Banh Mi Taco. It's Vietnamese braised pork belly, pickled daikon and carrot, sriracha mayo, and cilantro. The flavors and spicy mayo on top of tender pork belly are such a delicious, mouth-watering, unforgettable taste. This is what you call a gourmet taco! The salad that comes with it is one of a kind. It's a semi-soft salad with a nice crunch, with several different flavors and dressings throughout. I must brag about how pretty this place is. The patio greets you first as you walk up with these gigantic, gorgeous plants. The seating is very comfortable and can seat many people. The inside is just gorgeous.

So the place inside though is really big and when we arrive, the hostess is very nice and they did see us right away.

As you can see in my videos, it's very loud there because of the music that is playing live. Also, that type of music is not always my taste, but it actually was pretty nice and I didn't enjoy it. The pricing was a little higher there for the location in my opinion. But I will say the shrimp cocktail was really good and they hit close to home in Mexico for taste. The drinks were typical nothing special about them in my opinion. We did order a sushi roll and it was OK for me. It was kind of disappointed that they didn't have any good soy sauces for it or anything like that. If I went back, it would just be again for the drink specials and the shrimp cocktail.
