    Waiting area
    Tina S.

    The food always good service was top but the line what can we do it's popular i guess thats the only bad 45-60 min wait but the customer service and the food makes up for it thats why 5

    The oysters were fresh and flavorful, the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and full of that classic bold Cajun-style taste, and the king crab was absolutely amazing, it was sweet, tender, and cooked just right. Everything came out hot and delicious, and the experience was super satisfying overall. Just a heads up, the king crab is on the pricier side, but the quality definitely shows in every bite and feels worth it for a treat. Great spot for seafood lovers, and I'll definitely be back!

    I've been to Boiling Crab a few times now, and I really want to point out something that deserves recognition, besides good food: the CLEANLINESS of this place. For a seafood restaurant, cleanliness is especially important, and Boiling Crab consistently stands out in this area. You might expect a seafood restaurant to have a strong fishy smell, messy surroundings, or bathrooms that aren't well maintained, but that's simply not the case here. The restaurant is noticeably clean, and even the bathroom is clean and well kept. That level of cleanliness is one of the reasons I continue coming back here instead of going to another popular seafood restaurant in the area. It makes a big difference when you can enjoy your food in a place that feels clean, comfortable, and well cared for.

    Faucet water with lemon..ummm, No!

    Haven't been to boiling crab in a couple years. The wait was about 20minutes on a Saturday afternoon when we arrived. Things have changed..they no longer give you a bucket for the discarded items so the mess is all over the tables. I asked for water which had an awful taste, I then asked for bottled water, our water who was very nice advised they did not have bottled water, so basically your left drinking faucet water. Food was ok, ordered sausage, eggs, shrimp and potatoes, the whole she-bang sauce ate more greasy than flavorful. The price of the crab is crazy expensive at $40 lb and you can't get half pound. The environment is always lively but not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon, unless I'm in Cali.

    days old eggs
    Amiya J.

    truly love the boiling crab it's the only seafood place I will eat at especially because I feel the sauce/flavor is amazing. HOWEVER, I will say the last few times I've went some area had lacked whether it was customer service, cold/lukewarm food, or extremely long wait times and no way to join the waitlist prior. Today was another example of poor quality within the food. The eggs showed in the photo were absolutely days old and tasted disgusting. This was highly disappointing considering the fact that the price was $5 for three. Secondly my husbands sauce that he got was cold the first time they brought it out, he spoke up they "remade" it and brought it out again only for it to be the same temperature as before. Unfortunately this was not the best experience this time around.

    All I can say is Freaking SPECTACULAR!!! I am a huge seafood boil person and the flavors are amazing! I went with the WHOLE SHABANG it was a mix of all 3 flavors that they have. The service was great, our server Brayden was very attentive! My wife doesn't eat seafood and they also had options for her. She got the chicken tenders with fries. All around amazing and the place was packed! I would recommend calling ahead as there was a 2 hour wait when we did our reservation.

    Dare I say best seafood boil in the 702!? This place is nonstop packed so reservations through google is a must. I love hot n juicy too don't get me wrong but boiling crab has a special place in my heart. When you get the choose the seasoning there is an option to get it an everything at once and I'd say that is a must for all the food. Shrimp and crab was fire. Then the deep fried oysters took me out. The only note I'd made is to step it up with the micheladas but I feel like it's honestly whoever makes them lol no biggie tho. Interior is fun. They have sharks hanging from the ceiling. It gets a little chilly with the big fans in the middle if you get sat there but when the food comes you'll oversee it Already making my next visit after this review !

    Chicken tenders (comes with fries of your choice)
    Terrenz V.

    First time at this location and haven't been in years. Use to go to the OG spot in OC all the time. Just like I remember it...now with a much bigger menu. It's always busy. Be sure to check and join the waitlist via Yelp. Joined at 5:30pm on a Sunday and was quoted 70mins. Lively atmosphere with plenty of TVs for sports. The staff is always super friendly. Our go to is the Shrimp with the whole shabang with corn and sausage. And have to get a side of Cajun fries. Their chicken tenders are decent as well.

    Food and service were both good. Place was packed per usual. Got onto the YELP waitlist in advance. Saves you a lot of time and you know exactly when to show up wt the restaurant.

    The Boiling Crab Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Boiling Crab

    The boiling crab?

    Yes, like the 1s in Los Angeles; delicious!!!

    Dog friendly patio or outdoor seating?

    There is no outside seating, no animals allowed, not sure about service animals. Never seen a pet there. But really good place

    Is there a new phone number?

    No. It's the same one on the website.

    Are they open tomorrow, Thanksgiving?

    All TBC locations will be closed for Thanksgiving.

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    No, we no longer do corkage fees. We do not allow outside wine/champagne.

    How do I book a reservation?

    You just show up they don't have a online reservation system.

    Is there a TV? Will they have the knights game on?

    They have multiple big screen tv with various sports on each

    Is there vegetarian options?

    Potato and corn

    Does anyone know what the 'service charge' is; besides the delivery fee? Is Postmates the only delivery service for The Boiling Crab? Thanks for your help.

    The service fee is a percentage-based fee applied to the purchase price of your items and is charged by the delivery app (Postmates). Please note the Las Vegas TBC location is not currently available on delivery apps.

    How do I make reservations?

    Hi! TBC does not take reservations, but we do recommend calling in ahead of your visit to inquire about any wait time.

    Can I check in here?

    Hi! We’re sorry but one guest from each party must check in at the restaurant in person.

    Did they change the "join the waitlist" option? I can't seem to find it anymore.

    The Governer Lifted The Restriction To Require A Reservation As Of 2/15/21 So They Are Probably Back To Walk In And Signing Up On The Waitlist Inside

    How to place Togo order?

    You can also order through Grubhub for you to pickup. That way you don't have to call multiple times until their line isn't busy (like we use to).

    Is it all you can eat crab legs or no?

    No its not all you can eat.

    How do i do a reservation in this app?

    The "Join Waitlist" Is Right Under Where You Would Write A Review. You Have To Be In A 5 Mile Radius

    What's the market price for crawfish both live and frozen?

    I Believe It Changes Daily So No "Set Price"

    The phone number is invalid/out of service, is there a different number to call?

    Try this one. Only one I know of. (702) 386-0808

    Can I make a reservation?

    On yelp they had a feature where you could of made one , but ever since covid they changed that.

    Why don't you guys give us an idea when the store is expecting to reopen for dine in?

    Dude, they're open. Social distancing seating. Wait time 1-2hours for dinner

    How many people can be seated at a table?

    6 at the most. For larger parties, they will be separated at different tables to allow for 6 ft distance from each other.

They now charge $11 for 7 rolls, which was a letdown since they used to be a signature free perk. That being said, the rest of our meal was outstanding.

For the mains, the Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked, but the absolute highlight was the butternut squash gnocchi paired with the butternut squash puree. Spectacular! Give me 14 of them right now! We finished the night with the pistachio tiramisu featuring a housemade pistachio Nutella, which was the perfect end to the meal. The food is incredible, but definitely be prepared for the new charge on the bread!

    I am so mix on how to rate this place…read more Ambiance - Doesn't seem that great from the outside since it was dark, but we didn't get there super late from our flight after 11pm, Inside was cool dark karaoke vibe. I was with my boogie friend, so she didn't really care for it, but I don't mind it because I love the old school R& B Hip hop music. The service was cool and chill the girl was super cool and laid back. The guy that was there also was super friendly try to get us to do karoke but honestly we just want to eat and go because we so tired from our flight. I love the vibe, but the food can definitely be improved. The flavor was good, but I would had like seafood to be warmer and not Luke warm. I had to send the shrimp back to be cook more and would have prefer if the boil egg wasn't overly too hard boil. The plain chicken wing was good thou . We didn't get the AYCE and i find the food to be a good amount for the price. The crab leg could be fresher and warmer but it might be because we got there almost closing time. I might come back again for a drink and music vibe

    Overall, the service was HORRIBLE !! the restaurant was not packed at all…read more Our server was Mimi, there was some language barrier and communication issue. She also had really bad communication and explaining the menu. We asked her question regarding the menu. So she told us that we can do the $25 snow crab all you can eat. She did not say it's $39.99 plus the $25. We didn't want all the other additional seafood. The first round and it was good. So we all ordered a second round of the same thing. We waited for about 30 mins and finally got up to asked about it. She told was about to come out. As we were waiting, we saw her in putting our order. Then we realized that she never put in our second order in the first place. By that point, we were done. the restaurant was not busy at all and there were only two other tables there. Our Uber driver recommended this place, but I will never go back to that place again nor would I recommend recommended to anyone. Oh, on top of that they never came around to clean up or picked up any empty plates are trash from our table. Nor did they get our drink order right.

Trust me, it's worth finding! The restaurant is beautiful. The design is sophisticated, glamorous, and beautifully inspired by the sea, with rich ocean inspired tones, wave like details, and gorgeous sculptural lighting overhead. The dramatic ceiling fixtures and chandeliers almost look like something you'd find beneath the ocean, like elegant sea life floating above you. It's one of those restaurants where you'll want to look around before you even sit down. The combination of booths and tables, gorgeous bar areas, and the outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip makes the entire space feel effortlessly luxurious. Ocean Prime was intentionally designed around the meeting of land and sea, and that concept really comes through. The service was absolutely top-notch from beginning to end. From the charming hostesses to our wonderful server and every attendant who took care of us, everyone was warm, polished, attentive, and professional. That level of hospitality really elevated the entire evening. We started with two cocktails, the Cucumber Gimlet and the Pineapple Picante, and both were excellent. Fresh, beautifully balanced, and a perfect way to start the evening. Too much ice though, go easy on the ice next time For starters, we ordered the warm bread basket and French onion soup. Both were beautifully presented and delicious. Then came the main event! We chose the Teriyaki Salmon, served with shiitake sticky rice and soy butter sauce, and the Chilean Sea Bass with broccolini, pearl onions, whipped potatoes, and truffle vinaigrette. Both were outstanding, but that Chilean sea bass? Absolutely incredible. Rich, delicate, perfectly prepared, and easily one of the best I've ever had. Ocean Prime is the kind of place where the entire experience comes together, the gorgeous design, the incredible lighting, the Strip views, the cocktails, the food, and especially the service. It feels polished and glamorous without being stuffy. Truly an amazing dining experience and definitely a place I would return to. Ocean Prime is a beautiful addition to the Las Vegas dining scene.

    We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Ocean Prime, and the service we received was phenomenal!…read more A special thank you to Anissa, Tira, and Nick for making our experience so enjoyable. At one point, I requested a separate table away from everyone since my partner had a little too much to drink, and Anissa was incredibly kind and accommodating without any hesitation. I really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel. Tira's hospitality was amazing! She took the time to talk with us, take our pictures, check in on us throughout the evening, and even set up our table to make it look extra special for the birthday celebration. She was genuinely so sweet and made sure we had a wonderful dining experience. Nick was our server and was extremely patient, attentive, and accommodating throughout the entire meal. We never felt rushed even though it was closing time, and he took great care of us. For food, we ordered the calamari, salad, surf & turf, chicken, and of course the butter cake for dessert. The food was okay overall, but the exceptional service is what really stood out and made our night memorable. Thank you to Anissa, Tira, and Nick for taking such great care of us and helping make my boyfriend's birthday celebration special!
