My favorite seafood spot in Vegas. Whenever I travel and there is one in a city I am visiting I usually dine since I know their food is consistently good no matter the location. On my trip to Miami and had to stop by. They have the Po Boy rolls that are not available in Vegas just yet. I had been wanting to try. Restaurant is large as they all are and had about 6 booths dining at the time. Server was prompt and friendly. Food came out within 15 minutes. The Po Boy rolls were small about 4 inches but it was a combo which included a drink for $12 so not a bad deal. The shrimp were popcorn size. They were decent. While I was overall not too impressed with the taste of these Po Boys, it was good to try them once. The Boiling Crab is still my fave! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend, I've never had a seafood boil in my life so I was excited and nervous. When we came we were greeted and the staff was so nice, the place was spotless super clean and had utensils and etc. they showed me their reward system and helped me pick, showed me the whole process to order, and were super kind on their recommendations. I have to say food was 10/10 I order half a pound of headless shrimp, potatoes, and sausage with soda and the bill came around $27 honestly that's a steal for me! Not only was the food good, staff, and price !!! Definitely recommend coming it's totally worth it. read more

I'm not big on crab boils so had not actually been here before. We decided to try it today and glad we did. I started with the gumbo and wow!!! This was full of flavor with a wonderful Anduille sausage and crawfish. The flavor was just very complex and frankly delicious. We both had the soft shell crab fried. Very good, the service was on point. The only odd thing is they have beer and cocktails but no wine and that is usually a killer for my wife. read more

Great food, phenomenal staff and service. Overall great place to visit with friend and family.

The food is soooo delicious. The price is very good for the quality and amount of food.

If you have ever been to The Boiling Crab in California or Las Vegas, you know that this IS that place for crab boils. It has ample space, very clean, and the staff were great. My go-to is the King crab with the whole Sha-bang (mild seasoning) side of white rice and the cajun fries. They do offer a variety of fried dishes that you can choose from as well. I deducted a star because though it has the TBC feel, it just didn't taste the same. Don't get me wrong, my food was fresh and delicious and I would return. It just didn't give what I was introduced to in L.A. Overall, if you are ever on the hunt for a good crab boil; I would recommend giving this place a whirl. Ample street parking and a parking garage near by. read more

horrible experience last time i went , they were out of garlic said it would take an hour to come we waited the hour they said another hour what seafood boil place is out of garlic then on top of that no potatoes customer service is always good though read more

I have been coming here since it first opened. Recently I have been coming more and I must say nothing has changed aside from price but totally worth it if you are into seafood. I wanted to say aside from the good vibes here service is great the staff are very attentive! I wanted to shout out Manager Alex for having such a fantastic team. Thank you to my Server Alex as well as Mia H. They have both taken care of me and I have nothing but positive things to say. Not only are they kind but they keep checking on me as I am a solo diner at the establishment. Keep up the great work! read more

Been wanting to check this place out for a while now and it also kept popping up on my TikTok FYP. Our server was very sweet and explained the whole menu to us which was nice of him. I will say it seemed a little weird that everything came separately. Ordered some blue crab and clams but they were brought out in separate bags instead of just in one. Also you can only order by the pound while a lot of other places you can order by 1/2. Some boil places bring you the seafood crackers for the claws but we didn't get those. The sauce was also very salty and had huge chunks of garlic while other pieces were minced ,wish there was some consistency there. The corn was also cold (damn near frozen) which was quite a shock to bite into. I think the best parts of the meal were the lemon pepper fries and the rice, though it's pretty hard to mess up rice. Overall seems pretty expensive for something not that great. Wouldn't come back but try it for yourself. Update/edit: we got food poisoning read more

Oysters were good but tiny and too expensive for the price. Lots of delays and hard to get server's attention even when it's not busy at all. Gumbo and rice was okay. Garlic butter sauce did not come in time for the oysters and only arrived by the time the check came which I never even got to use and was still charged for. What pissed me off the most was the manager just standing there staring at me until I made eye contact to which he finally gave me my check back. What a fucking weirdo. Avoid at all costs. read more

Ya know i am a huge fan of all seafood boils ... "the boiling crab" is super famous right along side "hot n juicy" whenever i travel, and they always have these two in the city, and i always always go to hot n juicy. Could never bring myself to try this franchise bc Hot N Juicy is my all time FAVEEE...... since visiting Miami, they didnt have a location so i was like "HEY its your time to shine!!" aaannndd... i must say, i made the right decision all those times, but it does feel good to finally see what all the "whole shabang" hype is about. Unfortunately, the sauce did not do it for me. im really not into this plain "cajun" flavor anymore. HOWEVER, what DID it for me big time was their DUNGENESS CRAB... holy moley, you would have never ever guessed it was frozen!!! the crab still had all the mustard and flavors ... mann that crab was soo good. i ate the whole thing by myself!!! i wish i got to take some photos of the inside of it but i was too busy digging in.. also, it doesnt come with any sides, fyi. SERVICE was wonderful. i think for this area, this is a great option for seafood boil, pricing was typical. read more

The Boiling Crab - Menu 10-15-22 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I have always been a fan of the boiling crab! It's great and ideal for big parties and their food is delicious! I will say that if you're looking for food with heat, you've come to the right place, their top level of spice will bring you to tears. We also gotten to go from here and it's equally as enjoyable. Recently I've come to really enjoy their Gumbo as well! It's so flavorful and hits the spot. The team is always friendly and we've had the best time. I would say that parking can be a challenge but it's worth it read more

Great service. The by the pound boiled seafood is the best way to go! We had the by the pound shrimp, soft shell crab basket, catfish basket and kids meal. The shrimp was the best by far! read more

I'm not sure, but I have noticed that they have a lot of teenagers in there now maybe they not following the recipe but last night was the first time I have ever went that bull crab and I honestly had to give my food back. I literally eat here at least three times and I was really upset last night, the staff are very welcoming, but I don't know the cook in the back must have changed because my food was very oily no seasoning and shrimp very undercooked read more

This place is the bomb!! Highly recommend!! The food was fantastic and so good! We all loved it even the kids! William welcomed us the minute we walked in was friendly and told us all the great stuff to get! Alexander was an amazing, waiter he was so nice and helped us with our order! The owner and management should be proud of these two employees made our time enjoyable and the food was as well too! read more

I will say and promise this is the best sea food boil I have ever had.

Amazing service, amazing ambiance, and even more amazing food! I always love coming here with my family. Highly recommend this place!

It used to be that I'd have to travel to Pembroke Pines for this kind of seafood dining experience, but after several places started opening down South, my friends and I didn't have to make the long commute anymore. The Boiling Crab took over the old RA Sushi location and has been strong. Parking in the area is metered, plenty of spots. I have been to The Boiling Crab twice so far. I've tried the shrimp, crawfish, snow crabs, lemon pepper fries, corns, calamari, and wings. Everything was delicious. The service was good, but the server had forgotten to bring gloves and utensils. It happens, no big deal, we asked for them when the server was around. For covid, customers have their temperatures checked at the door. Customers are seated apart in accordance to social distancing guidelines. Overall, good experience and good food. read more

This is my favorite seafood boil I've ever been to (which is a lot!)! The mixed house sauce is soooo delicious! You're going to want to scoop it up with every bite! They also have such a great variety to build your boil. The downside? It's kinda small inside, which means you might wait a bit on a busy night, but it's totally worth it. You'd never know how good everything is from looking at the shopping center it's in, but don't judge these guys by that. It's fantastic! I haven't tried anything that I haven't loved here. I'd be here all the time if I had the funds. It's seafood, so it's more of a treat yourself price point. Come with the family or friends and split a nice big bucket of good stuff! read more

My boyfriend and I have recently gotten into crab boils and have tried several different restaurants similar to this one but the taste of The Boiling Crab was extraordinary! We ordered our catch with The Whole Sha-Bang flavor and it was out of this world! The flavors were so delicious I couldn't stop eating (even with an extremely full belly and my nose dripping from the heat). I loved that the restaurant is located in South Miami because it made this a great date night spot. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for an amazing seafood boil! read more

Good food, good service, good vibe! What else can you ask for!? Remember after the First Two drinks (each) everywhere you go will be Five-Stars! Lol ( Leave the kids at home!) This is your time! If not one of you will get stuck with chasing them around! And eventually ruin your night and someone else's while your Gremlins run wild! Have fun! read more

The place looks really good the food was good too they let us right our names before we left i recommend this place if your a crab lover.

I went here on my vacation in Miami. The service is super friendly and efficient! I went twice and even though it was a bit busy both times, the service didn't take long to be seated. The staff is super helpful in explaining the menu and making sure that you get exactly what you want. I like that you can build your own bag (I don't like seafood, but my partner does). She got lobster and crab with sausage eggs and corn. I got sausage and corn with breaded and fried shrimp. All of it was delicious! Portions are also pretty good for your money. We got medium the first time, it was hot So, we got mild the second time, but I think we enjoyed it most when it was a bit spicy! read more

Our waitress from the onset act like via facial expressions and taking our orders 4ft away from the table having to repeat herself several times as opposed to moving closer. It was bought to her attention. No one said anything inappropriate to her. We just finished a round of golf at the Biltmore. 8 professionals to include law professionals, medical and self employed Men. After receiving our food she got into her Karen role with a male co worker who may have been a manager. She never came back to the table to collect the checks, he came. We didn't find out why until we were outside. She's racist and extremely prejudice. If I had known that she expressed made up concerns about serving us, I would NOT have left such a generous gratuity. read more

Food was really good will come back and come back again. Hands down the best seafood boil I've ever had.

I'm from California where boiling crab is usually a go to spot for boils, so when I saw this location in Miami on a strip by other delicious restaurants I've acquainted, I was nostalgic to have a taste of home, being away from home. I definitely had high expectations, and was let down completely. I ordered a boil of EZ shrimp, blue crab, sausage, potato, corn, and egg with medium spice and whole sha bang seasonings. I received that however flavor was definitely not present. All I tasted was butter and garlic chunks. Great quality of EZ Shrimp however poor quality of sausage used. read more

Elbows in, sleeves up, chest out, bib tied! For all my seafood lovers, @boilingcrab is a place sure to please! This place offers anything from Louisiana style crawfish to Cajun style seafood boils! The boils were amazingly delicious. Full of flavor and enough to fill our stomachs. The seasoning wasn't too spicy, granted you choose your spice level, but again the flavor was great! Check them out! You'll love them read more

With good company, plenty of time on your hands, clothes you don't mind getting covered in sauce and seafood juice, and patience to work for your food, I'd say don't miss out on coming to the Boiling Crab. We came during late lunch hours and there was plenty of seating inside. We tried the gumbo, King crab and Dungeness crab in their combo sauce. The mild spicy level for perfect for me. It had a slight kick to it but not spicy enough to overpower the natural flavor from the crab. The servers here are great at showing you how to properly eat King crab legs, which was a first for me and I definitely appreciated the pro tips. The gumbo is excellent, I would order it again especially if I'm in the mood for some hot soup. It comes with onions, peppers and okra. You have the option of getting it with or without rice. The day we came, a number of seafood items listed on the menu were either not in season or they didn't have it. They also told us they were initially out of crackers, which thankfully they ended up finding us a pair. read more

Messy and delicious! We got shrimp and crawfish in one bag and Alaskan crab with sausage and potatoes in the other bag. The shellfish was all soooo much fun to take apart and worth the work. Adding the lime with the spices in the dipping cup was new to us and really a good addition. Although we love spicy food, maybe next time I'll get a lower spicy level so we can get through the whole bag without the burn! read more

We have been craving authentic Luisiana Crab boil for some time now. It was definitely on our BUCKET LIST! Now crossed out. We had some business in South Miami and we decided to visit as well. Raining, not pouring though so doable. We parked directly across the street. July 23, 2020, so in the heart of covid and all the social distancing orders. At first glance, the place looks closed and no activity. All the nearby restaurants have diners eating outside on the sidewalk. No sidewalk eating here, but the there is an Open sign. We walk inside to a beautiful interior, very clean multi-level dining room space. We took a second to gaze it all in and imagine the sights and sounds (and smells) of this space in full swing. Walked to counter and was greeted by a friendly, prompt, attentive worker. I knew I wanted the King Crab Legs in their garlic butter sauce; in addition, I ordered the Fried Shrimp with Cajun Fries and Shabang Bang Shrimp. Tell them your heat level. It was ready in about 20 minutes. Since no dining in or out...we took it home. Everything was awesome and inspiring! The Shabang Bang Shrimp was a blast! It comes with a scoop of White Rice to slop up the gravy etc. We loved the Fried Shrimp and Fries. In fact, we ate that first in the car on the way home! A quick note about the friendly worker at the register. He was very nice, patient, explained the menu to us and chatted about their plans fully re-open. We will most definitely return to cure our Boiling Crab needs! read more

No sauce? No dice! Ordered from The Boiling Crab this evening. Had the Dungeness crab, snow crab, and shrimp with the original canon sauce in medium for all of them. 1) The Dungeness crab was terrible. It did not taste fresh and was over cooked. The sauce also was like a paste and was not dippable and extremely spicey. 2) The snow crab leg cluster was a generous serving and in comparison to the Dungeness Crab it was freshly cooked. However the sauce was more like a thick paste and extremely spicey. 3) The shrimps were fresh and juicey, but also had the same issue with the sauce. We have tried Cajun boil places in Miami and across the US and they always come with lots of sauce, for example to dip the sauce with the side of rice that we ordered. Also the sauce was wayyyyy to spicey, and we love spicey food - usually big hot spice level fans, but the medium here was off the charts. Too bad this was such a poor experience because the paper table cloth and plastic bib were a nice touch for a delivery. Wish we ordered from one of our other cajun boil spots instead of trying this one. The funny thing is - I even have a Boiling Crab copycat recipe that I've made at home several times and it tastes nothing like what we experienced. Safe to say, I can't recommend this place. read more
