Boiling crab can never miss ! Unless they run out of something u've been craving I love it here

Whenever crawfish season comes around, you bet I'm hitting up Boiling Crab multiple times. I've tried all the Viet cajun joints around DFW, but nothing beats their Whole Sha-bang flavor for me. It's so flavorful and I love to get it XXX spicy. Don't forget to add corn and potatoes to your bag as well! I used to drive to Louisiana every year for crawfish, but I'm happy to have a spot near me to satisfy those cravings. The wait used to be insane at the Dallas location, but every time I visit the Plano location now, we get seated fairly quickly! read more

The Boiling Crab - Yummy food - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Amazing food! Recommend whole shabang shrimp Staff is amazing never had any problems. 100% recommend

The boiling crab is my absolute favorite to go to for king, crab legs, and snow crabs I do like the peel and eat shrimp without the heads they are cleaned and the poop vein is removed. I honestly got everything just steamed no butter no added spices and it's always super fresh melts in your mouth delectable. Prices might be a little high, but they're extremely worth it to me to receive quality. I also love their bloody beer. Otherwise no one is Michelada. It's fantastic. Their crab fries are delicious. They're bang bang shrimp is delicious. The decor is kind of ocean style. It's very family friendly sometimes there's a way but they offerputting your name in ahead online which is a fantastic service. The servers are very attentive and make sure to constantly be refreshing your drink asking if you need anything else. read more

Date night review... This is not a good "first" date place but for anyone else, it's fun and unique. It's best to dine in the bib and have sauce covered hands. We had blue crab, mussels, clams, and crawfish. The corn, potatoes, sausage, and egg are a must. We did need to wait to be seated, but less than ten minutes. It did take a bit for the food to arrive but it was fresh and well seasoned. Wait staff were all super nice. I was even offered a water refill right before I left. This might seem small but it was a very nice touch and hit the spot in the hot weather. read more

Two things I love most is seafood and Cajun food. And this placed nailed both. Our server was great, had a really good sense of humor and it was nice to take my friends to a place that we can feel comfortable at. We got multiple items to share and that seafood boil was spot on. We could not stop eating it. For sure I'd recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to go back. read more

Food came out at all different times so one person was done eating before the other came out and so on. Shrimp was so overdone it wouldn't peel. Unacceptable and will not ever go back. read more

Tastes delicious, friendly staff, affordable. The only dislike is the center tables are too close to each other.

It's hard to believe some of the negative reviews are for my favorite crawfish place in Dallas. The food is OK. Crawfish or frozen out of season but that's what you expect. They're a couple. Good options but really it's a crawfish place. Everything else is decent. What stands apart for me is a service. That's why I was surprised by the negative reviews about service. We've been here a couple of times. It takes about 30 minutes for us to drive here but it's worth every minute. The staff continuously check on you. They're prompt responses. We've tried them on weekdays and weekends. It's always the same high level of service. If there is one downside, it is the spice levels. Mild is equivalent to most peoples hot. The only other option is no spice but what's the fun in that? Even so all the flavors are good. read more

Visited while in Plano for business. The customer was top tier, but the quality of the food was less than I ordered a (1/2 lb of shrimp and 1 lb of snow crabs) in addition to that I ordered a sausage link which was cut into pieces in my boil bag (which I did not like) everything tasted so oily and fishy and lastly I got an Arnold Palmer to drink which was delicious. I would visit again maybe it was the day of the week read more

The Boiling Crab - Extreme Pricing - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Always come here & today was disappointing. Our potatoes where under cooked & so was shrimp. Horrible service no refills

Very disappointed with this place. I'm from California and have eaten at multiple boiling crabs restaurants and this place does not live up to what I've had so far. Flavor was blah and they actually ran out of corn! It was a random Thursday that we came, so it wasn't busy or anything. So how do you run out of corn? Also, when our shrimp came, there was like no sauce in the bag. Because there was no sauce, the flavors did not seep into the shrimp like it's suppose to. So we ate mostly boiled shrimp. Definitely would not come here again I prefer kickin crab in Carrollton. They actually don't run out of food and is very generous with their sauce. read more

Crab fries are amazing. Servers are always quick and nice. Crab is good also. Snow crab

Can't go wrong with this spot! My sister is obsessed and brings me with her for her cravings haha. But everytime, the service is good and the food tastes amazing! read more

Always enjoy coming here! The wait times can be long- especially on weekends so just prepare for that.

Went in today with our family. Food was amazing! The service however was awful. Had to flag down servers for EVERYTHING we needed, including ordering. Very frustrating. Had many different servers and barely any service. Two stars for the service. 5 star food. Update: The restaurant has reached out and made things right. They listened to my concerns and addressed what needed to be. Thank you. read more

I usually eat here all the time and it's always so great. Although I usually dine in on the weekend. I don't know if it was because I ordered to go within the first hour of opening on a Monday but I did not have a good experience today. The flavor is always great there was nothing wrong with that. It was the texture of the shrimp. They were so mushy. It was disgusting and inedible. I've never experienced that here before. The crawfish I ordered were frozen because they didn't have live. Those were fine. Not as good obviously but they were good. It was just the shrimp I had a problem with. I hope next time I stop by they will not be a mushy gooey mess. read more

The boiling crab is always consistent. The staff is friendly and the food is always bussin. The crab fries are my absolute favorite so do not forget to order those. Oysters were very fresh. The restrooms are clean and they have hand washing stations just in case you need to wash your hands after demolishing the seafood! read more

Everything was fantastic! We were there for valentines dinner and had a wonderful time.

Highly recommended. Food and service is great. The whole sha-bang sauce is the best one.

We had a great time celebrating a birthday in the family. The table was covered with the carnage that was shrimp, crab, mussels, and an assortment of flavored French fries. As a picky eater the only option for me was the chicken tenders and fries. The staff was excellent and fast to bring the additional items that we ordered. The interior is brilliant! The great white shark and crocodile are amazing features. read more

This was my second time here and everything is firee!!! Make sure you say shabang!! ( all the seasoning! ) everything is well priced and its just amazing overall! read more

Yas! It has only been 48 years until they really decided to open another location in the metroplex. I was lucky to grab a time slot for their soft opening to get a glimpse and taste of that seafood goodness. I still love the original location for its charm but this new one is bigger, better and has a shiny new bar area ;) Located at the old Spaghetti Warehouse building, this spot is the right spot for all northern peeps who always have to battle traffic and endure the long wait at the Dallas/garland location. Same good flavor, great service and awesome atmosphere. read more

I love coming to this location because their service is amazing ! They're always so attentive and friendly!

This place is way over priced for the food they give you and charge you for a pound without giving you the full pound we ordered crawfish and couldn't eat half of them due to being so small and having no meat in them, the shrimp basket tasted horrible along with the catfish the only decent thing was the snow crab and lobster the service was ok but they don't check on you often. ITS NOT WORTH IT! read more

Food was great excellent service, the wait wasn't too long and the prices were Reasonable.

Expensive seafood but I prefer this location over the Dallas/ garland one. The wait is not as long and better service bigger space

My husband I are from California and decided to visit this location. We got there around 11:30 am on a Saturday thinkin there would be a long line before they opened (as we are used to in Cali). Well there wasn't many people waiting so they sat us right when 12 hit. The staff was very inviting and friendly (straight to the point) which we like. Place was clean.. the place is very inviting. The bathroom and washing area was very clean also (which I always judge the place by how clean their restrooms are) so that was a plus! Getting to the food. We ordered our usual whole shabang shrimp, corn, and rice. Honestly, it was really good! The taste was very similar to the Cali location we would always visit. The sauce is so flavorful (not too salty) garlicy and just the right amount of sauce. We definitely will come back again. Check this place out if you like seafood. read more

The wait was a breeze we came on a Friday night. Once we got in the music was lively, tvs had the game on, and it was clean. The workers were the best ! Fast and friendly our waiter was great, she recommended the mild it was spicy even for me. The food was fresh and had all the tools to help you devour your plate. Will come again ! read more

By far some of the worst crab I have ever had in my life. The food was cold, watery, and extremely overpriced. For two crab clusters and two sides of rice it was almost $70. I frequent lots of sea food restaurants around DFW and the average price for something like that would be $35 MAX. Overall, I would rather be boiled myself than ever eat at this restaurant again. For better crab I would recommend Juicy Seafood and Bar, which has much better service and crab legs for a more than reasonable price. read more

Good food and good service. Always great to come feast. Love it here. Really good ambiance

The food/service was good but I wish that they would have taken the heads off of the shrimp and supplied gloves with the meal. read more

Hands down best seafood in DFW! Try their spicy sauces we can't get enough of them! Yes we have tried many other places and it's fair to say boiling crab is the best! Can't wait to go back. read more

They're set up for mainly boiled seafood and I can do that easily at home. We came for fried seafood and were very disappointed. The soft shell crabs were very small. They cut two of them into two pieces in an attempt to spread them out around the plate but that doesn't fool as many people as they seem to think. The catfish filets were mushy and fatty. This means that they were not premium filets. These would be more correctly identified as "nuggets" The gumbo was well seasoned and contained a good amount of seafood but had too much okra. Also the roux was thin and watery. I asked for crackers and was told that they don't have any. Hard to believe that a restaurant selling gumbo and raw oysters doesn't offer crackers but it looks like I found one. We won't be back. read more

The Boiling Crab never fails to disappoint, overall delicious seafood, great customer service, and had a great dinner with family. We ordered the fresh oysters, shrimp by the pound house flavor, fried catfish basket, and gumbo. All were flavor and fresh! Even in off-season crawfish, this place is still great to dine. read more
