Boing Crab is having a deal rn on Postmates if you buy a pound of shrimp you get a 2nd pound free. after the fees it comes to about the price of 2 pounds of shrimp if you picked it up but who wants to drive. Boiling Crab is my personal favorite seafood boil spot in sac always get the shrimp, all the crab and lobster is also very good, and I've heard good things about the chicken wings but have personally never got them. And you gotta get some rice no matter what! read more

The food and service was excellent . I highly recommend it to you. Can't wait to go again

I was craving seafood boil and decided to head to the boiling crab. It has been a very long time since I've been back. I got 1 lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels with potatoes in the whole shabang medium. I also asked for lime, and got a very big bag. One thing I've noticed is that they do not skim on the food! 1lb here is so much more food than I've received at other seafood boil restaurants. The seafood are also super fresh and delicious. It was quite busy on a weekday night, with lots of dine in and to go orders. Once I placed my order, it was ready in about ten minutes. The workers were very friendly and quick. read more

I'm a frequent customer and never had any problems until today. I had two long hairs in my shrimp bag and they were towards the bottom of the bag so I know it wasn't me as well as the fact that I had my hair tied up before the food came. I honestly wish they had hair nets because I never see any being worn which I think is nasty for a place that deals with food. read more

I love coming to eat at this place, even though sometimes I have to wait up to 2 hours. The food is delicious, but today I'm leaving disappointed. The music was very loud, and it even gave me a headache. I had never had this kind of experience before, but I won't come back just because of that. I even had to put on my son's headphones, and even then I could still hear the loud music. read more

The Boiling Crab - Shrimp shabang medium Cajun fries - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

A 3.6/5 honestly confuses me. I wish I could rate this place higher than a 5/5 because it deserves it. The staff is welcoming and polite, and the food is on a tier of its own. The only down side? It's always packed. Which should explain how good the food is. We came most recently on a Monday night and waited 45 minutes. Don't let the line scare, come hungry and prepared for a flavor explosion. I recommend getting shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and fries! All with the whole shabang, and medium spice level read more

Went for Father's Day. Busy, but the usual busy I'd say. Waitstaff nice enough but never was offered any refills. Also, food took over an hour to get. Saw one guy leave because of the wait for his food. We decided to take to go as we had kids who had enough sitting in a highchair. Wife ate her shrimp whole she bang and became violently ill about an hour after. I decided not to risk and threw away my bag of shrimp. Maybe someone else had similar experience? Please let me know. read more

We did phone in orders for pick up. The lady on the other line was very patient on taking our multiple orders. They have a different area for take outs only, just across their original dining place. Cute little area for payment and pick up. Our order was accurate ready in time for pick up as they promised. The sauce is very flavorful, their lemon pepper is still spicy, forgot to mention for non spicy, I just assumed it's not. I'll keep that in mind next time. read more

Been going here for years and each visit always hits!! 1lb shrimp (head on), medium spice, whole shabang, sausages with Cajun fries. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I can always rely on their sauce being buttery and thicccc as some place's seasoned sauces are watery... Service and staff are always on point. Never had a bad experience. Only thing I dread is looking for parking as it does get busy. read more

The service and food is always amazing! Our server Meredith was so kind and attentive :)

This is the second time coming in. Both to celebrate a friend's birthday. They accommodated 11 of us along with holding the cake for us. Waiting time wasn't too bad as we got here prior the rush of dinner. All of our seafood was very flavorful and fulfilling. We order a variety from Raw Oysters,Dungeness crab, Calamari and Fried Shrimp, Shibang scallops, Fried oysters and more. The only thing the shrimp was over cooked and on the mushy inside but common as it is cooked with other seafood within the bag. Ambiance is always loud and busy but not overwhelming. Staff is always working either cleaning, seating or serving. All in all this place has great flavors and for sure doesn't disappoint! read more

No to impress with this location, we waited 2 hours to be seated, (I had wait before at the other location but at least the service is good & the food). Our food was served cold, fits they brought the rice and like 10-15 minutes later the shrimp so by the time the shrimp got there the rice was already cold, however the shrimp was also cold, we barely saw our waiter/ waitress we have to asked for refills , because they barely came to check on us, the bathroom was dirty no paper liners and toilet paper all over the floor. The parking is super full and if you have an order to go you have to go across the street, but I didn't see any signs stating that, but people kept coming in asking for their to go food and they send them to another building. read more

The food was delicious! The king and snow crab came out first. The whole shabang mild season paired so well with the crab, the family almost finished before the appetizers came out. We had the catfish basket, crabber lemon pepper fries, and a lb of shrimp with corn, sausage, potatoes, eggs and a side of rice. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and eager to help. I liked that this boiling crab expanded. Enjoyed the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. We were 30th on the waiting list, but the list moved quick. Worth the wait, I promise you. read more

2.5 hour wait on Saturday evening. Typically, I would not wait this long; however, I was meeting a few of my friends at this location. They only allow up to 4 split checks. I ordered the whole Dungeness crab with Cajun seasoning. The crab tasted fresh and I love the Cajun sauce. It was perfect with steamed rice, a coke, and a side of fries. I would dine in again, but not on Saturday evenings. read more

Great service , great food. I love the ambience. The servers were tentative and not overbearing. The manager was great. I cut my finger. I'm acting in and he really took care of me great place. read more

This spot is amazing. I should start off by saying we drove two hours to come here. We did have to wait an hour so I recommend putting yourself on the waitlist if you have the availability to do so. Service was really good. Our server was very attentive and was constantly bringing us water, which was nice because we got the medium spicy boil and it was spicy. There was five of us and it came out to around 160 and two of us got crab legs. Locally where we live whenever we go to any shrimp boil place it normally cost us about $200. I got the shrimp boil and the snow crab legs, as well as a side of rice and I added potatoes to it, and the food was spectacular . My sister is normally a picky eater, and we both refuse to get crab legs locally because they are very expensive and have no meat. however at the boiling crab we both decided to try the crab legs and they had a lot of meat and they were definitely worth the price. I think we paid like $27 for snow crab legs Overall, the place is popping, it was packed. We got there around seven and the spot literally had a wait time until about 10 and they close at 10. It's definitely cool, especially with the decorations. the spot is very nice and clean. 10/101 recommend. read more

We love this place! Food is good and the seasoning is always perfect! Wait can be long but it is so worth it

Wait time is always over an hour wait to get seated. The food is good just don't like the wait time.

Stahvion was amazing! Super attentive and food was delicious! I will be coming back here because of him!

This place is ALWAYS packed but we drive the extra few mins to go to this one over the one on K Street. The staff is always friendly and once you finally get seated, it never takes long to get your food. We have never had a bad experience here. We go often and the food is always fresh. My only complaint is the last few times, the soda has been flat but they always take it off the bill. read more

I recommend this place because the food is so good so juicy... The servers are awesome they are just checking if you need anything. Great place to eat with the family. read more

The crab fries with lemon pepper fried seasoning are so addicting. I also got one pound of shrimp with the whole shabang medium sauce and added eggs. It was super messy but totally worth it. The sauce is garlicky, buttery, spicy, and hits every craving. Service was fast and friendly even with how busy it was. Definitely recommend joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time because it gets packed, especially on weekends. One of my go-to spots for a seafood feast! read more

I'm really disappointed with our experience at The Boiling Crab on 65th Street in Sacramento. We joined the waitlist before we even arrived. After receiving a text saying our table was ready, we still had to wait an additional 20 minutes to be seated. When it was finally time to be seated, one person in our party had briefly stepped out to the car to grab a diaper bag. Even though staff could clearly see that the rest of our entire party was present and waiting inside, they refused to seat us until she walked back from the car. This directly contributed to the extra wait time and felt unnecessary and unaccommodating. After we ordered, things continued to go downhill. My pregnant friend was served shrimp in her bag, even though she did not order shrimp. We immediately brought this to the staff's attention and clearly explained that she is pregnant and cannot eat shrimp. The bag was taken back to the kitchen, but instead of making a fresh one, they picked the shrimp out and sent the same bag back. This is completely unacceptable, especially considering pregnancy and food safety concerns. We complained again and had to send it back. What made this even more frustrating was the lack of attention from our waiter. He was not the one who addressed any of our concerns and only came by once to check on us. Instead, the gentleman bussing tables was the one who helped us multiple times and was far more attentive and helpful than our actual waiter. Between the excessive wait time, refusal to seat us when most of the party was present, incorrect orders, poor food safety handling, and lack of proper service, this experience was extremely disappointing. We expected much better. read more

It was just a two hour plus waiting and our order came all wrong and we only got a im sorry fron the waiter!!! My self is allergic to corn and i ordered sausage and instead i got corn in my bag!!! I ordered extra cup of rice and necer got it but i did get charged for it read more

The price was pretty high to have such a pretty disappointing experience. The food had a lack of flavor and the seafood had to come separately which sucked because we got the appetizer and only of the seafoods and had to sit with a bag of shrimp for 15minutes before the rest of the food came. It was an overall high priced poor tasting experience sadly. . . read more

Great food great service, I will definitely visit again, five stars definitely, great atmosphere

Worst customer service ever we got half our food an hour later after being seated , still missing a dish two hours in. I just cancelled. Their excuse wears are backed up. Didn't even offer to make it better or anything. read more

The food it was excellent Only one not good the rice is not really cook half cook rice. I hope the owner read this message and fix the rice not cook well. read more

My family and I love The Boiling Crab on 65th Ave in South Sacramento. We come almost every month because the food is always great. The shrimp with the Whole Sha-Bang sauce never disappoints. My 6 year old son enjoys the shrimp with no spice, (garlic buttery). Their michelada is one of the best I have had, and the margarita is just perfect too. The fries might be my favorite of all time. The wait time can be long, but we honestly do not mind because this is our favorite place to eat. For shorter wait time come during the week. read more

Boiling Crab is a reasonable novel establishment with it's plop a steamed bag of everything on the table approach. Though the communal dining experience adds to the fun, making it an ideal spot for gatherings with friends and family. The spot is nearly always busy and keeps all the servers running about frantically but they'll check in every once in a while. For the meal, get anything you want so long as it's in the 'whole shebang' seasoning. Shrimp, crab, sausage, corn, whatever - it all tastes good with their signature blend. read more

Waited 30 ish minutes on the waitlist which is fine I've waited up to almost 2 hours u know how the wait time is here. Got seated they told us food would take up to 25 minutes to be ready again that was fine. Ended up waiting 45 minutes for food for 2 persons. 1 1/2 pound of shrimp and 1 pound of mussels... we agreed to stay bcuz of the wait time wasn't going to be too long because we had a movie that was to start in an hour from getting our food.. Will we have time to get there on time probably not.... read more

Boiling Crab is my go to place for seafood boil. The food is always consistent. On a Saturday night, the wait was over an hour, but the food might've been worth it... I recommend joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time but in this case the online waitlist was closed and we had to go in person to sign up. Love the whole shabang sauce with mild spice. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. An order of the cajun fries is a necessity !! I also like getting the chicken tenders but it's nothing special. Service is usually good but on a packed Saturday night the service quality went downhill. Server forgot our straws, the ranch for our fries was missing, and we also received the wrong bill at the end of our meal. read more
