The Boiling Crab

Perfectamente sabroso les invito cordialmente a pasar un bien momento es bonito muu vien atendido y muy buen ambiente FAMILIAR att seles invita

This is Sunday, my friends came in town for visit and want to try the famous boiling crab. So we stop by night time almost 6, waited about one and half hours for our table which is fine Sunday night always busy. Our server was really nice we got party of five, 4 adults and 1 one year old. We ordered all flavors shrimp total 4lbs, 2lb mussels, 1 lb clam, 4 corns and 1 order sausage and some appetizers. Long story short, 1st we got mussels and clams it’s was great only clams got so many empty shells. And then we start to get our bags shrimp, at first I tried the shrimp it tasted funny I thought is that they used cheap shrimp it’s not fresh, and with the heavy sauce can’t really tell what’s wrong with it, then I ate one that’s cooked outside and raw inside, I immediately notified our server she took that one bag back said she will get us a new bag while we work on other bags. At this point I’m just really upset, my wife is pregnant and I got one year old might have eaten not fully cooked seafood. The same time we working on other bags and I noticed every bags got some shrimps that’s not fully cooked, I called server again to notify manager. While we wait for the manager we got our new bag 1lb shrimp, this time it’s cooked, but over cooked. I’m not sure they reused the one they bought it back to cook again or what, the shrimp it’s like chewy gum way over cooked. The manager showed up did not even apologize, she just looked at table even don’t care I’m trying to show her uncooked shrimp, she said “oh, looks like you guys finished most of it like half way, so we can’t do anything at this point, I’ll give you 10% off 1 item.” You heard that right, “ONE ITEM” which is 1lb shrimp $1.6. I told her it’s not about the money, my wife is pregnant and I got one year old toddler can’t eat raw seafood they might get sick, not sure how she passed her health safety license. Of course each person grab one shrimp from the 1lb bag its like almost half way through. She just gave a nasty look, it’s like not the first time it happened she just doesn’t care. At this point I got no mood even to eat anymore also she didn’t even offer to recook my food, just ask for check be done the night. I got my bill, she even trying to charge me additional lb shrimp they took back and recooked, now shows I got billed 5lbs shrimp total. If I didn’t pay attention to my check she just charge whatever she wants. This is health issues to serve raw seafood to anyone!!!! The lady manager name is Sarina Chanthanarm, not sure it’s really her name or not, the server just gave me the business card said this is the manager, I hope she go retake her health safety test to learn how important not to serve customer uncooked food.

Great food

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.

Very busy as usual servers did their best but kind of hard to get someone especially when you are 1 person versus a table of 6 or more

We were asked how many adults and kids and we gave them an answer. We waiting an hour and a half and when are table got called they told us we have the wrong amount of people in our party and that we had to go back to the bottom of the list. We are black and feel that had a play in it. They were rude about it. The host told us that's the best they can do.

My party had to pay for the employees mistake. We had a big party of people, told them we had 12 adults and 6 kids, they fault us and put us at the bottom of the list, because they couldn't add that to 18 people. Not our fault, but we had to pay for it. They wanted us to wait over an additional hour on top of over an hour we ALREADY waited. We even would have been okay split up in different tables. They made no move to make amends for THEIR mistake. Unprofessional.

Food was good but seating is really bad.

Cool

Our server was good and the food was removed from our bill but the food at this boiling crab is not consistent. The garlic was rancid but the establishment was still serving it to their customers. The whole shebang should be sweet, garlicy, buttery and spicy. The rancid garlic made the everything bitter and taste rancid which ruined the entire flavor of the food. You can smell the rancid garlic the moment you open the bag of sea food boil. Any one who cooks will know that old rancid garlic should be tossed out. You cannot mask that flavor with any amount of spices. Please be better and don’t serve rancid garlic to your customers. Dp a test batch and taste your food every day before you serve it to your customers.
