This place gets packed quickkk! There's always a wait time on weekends. Nonetheless, i'd say its worth trying & its really good! I usually get the "whole shabang" seasoning which is all the seasonings mixed together. The staff are always nice & its cool to watch the sport games going on in the background! Cool spot to get your hands dirty & eat!

Absolutely love this place, especially when there's not too long of a wait. Still don't know why boiling crab closes the waitlist on the Yelp app, it helps so much. But today we stopped by right when they opened and there was still about a 45 min wait. It was crazy busy because of the dodger parade, almost everyone in there was wearing dodger blue. Took my mom and aunt here for lunch, going pounds of shrimp with some fries and rice. We sat inside and I love the ambiance inside and the setup of everything because of all the TVs and lots of places to sit down. Overall great experience and shoutout the hostess and our waitress for taking good care of us

This was my first time at this location and I came with a few people. I haven't eaten at a boiling crab in a few years due to the long wait time. We of course got the many pounds of shrimp with the whole shebang and some of the corn and fries and calamari. YUM YUM YUM. Never a bad time at boiling crab. The staff was very attentive and they were able to give us another lemonade since the first one they gave us tasted water down.

Great food, but you have to wait! Boiling Crab offers amazing seafood that is always fresh and flavorful. I love their Cajun and lemon pepper seasonings, and also the mussels, crab legs, corn and potatoes are my favorites. However, you can't make reservations, which can be frustrating. Every time I go, I have to give my phone number and wait quite a long time to be seated. The food is definitely worth the wait, but it would be so much better if they had a reservation system.

One of the staple places for shrimp boil, and I'm so glad I visited this location in LA. Located in a shopping plaza, there is plenty of parking in nearby lots and a lively ambiance to walk around. They started to fill up around 12:30pm on a Sunday, and my large party of 10 got seated in 15-20 min. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and a handwashing station (comes in super handy for a big party!) My go to order is a pound of shrimp, the whole shebang, mild (5/5), and this location delivered. Food was out for our party in about 20 min. We also got the Cajun fries (5/5), side orders of rice, and potatoes and corn on the inside of our bags. I love dipping my peeled shrimp back in the sauce, and in the lemon, salt, and pepper mixture. Overall, a great experience at this boiling crab location!

Typically not a huge fan of coming to The Boiling Crab these days given that the menu is limited compared to other seafood boil restaurants and the line is always long. But my friend wanted to do her birthday here, so we came. Waited nearly two damn hours before sitting down, but what can you do. Anyways, got four pounds of shrimp, one pound of clam, some sausages, and some potatoes with The Whole Sha-Bang. Wasn't feeling like paying premium price for king crab. Shrimp was fine, plenty of flavor as expected. I'm not really a potato guy, but they were actually pretty good with the sauce. And of course I always love me some sausages. Service is great here. They made sure to keep filling up our waters and bring gloves over, which you will need many of since the oil actually seeps through the gloves. Definitely were taken care of. The food is always going to be good here, and you will never leave disappointed. It's just the wait always sucks.
