The Boiling Crab

Crawfish is what I always get. It might seem like they pay the people to form a crowd outside, but it's actually pretty good. I just don't think the wait is worth it.

Go on a non peak time to avoid 01hr waiting cue. Food is amazing and affordable ! ???? My favorite restaurant in LA!

Ask for everything "Whole-Shabang," where the food is coated with an ingenious concoction made from butter, lemons , Zatarain's and lots of garlic--basically every flavor they have mixed into a bag. Read more

Seafood lovers? Ok do cone here, prawns crabs mussels oh you name it, delicious oh make sure you have the patience to wait in line

I could eat at this place at least once a month I love this restaurant two thumbs up from me????????

Everything is delicious!! Shrimps with garlic sauce and fried calamari ... King crab legs is a must ????

Come during weekdays to avoid the long line .

If it's your first time, order 1/2lbs amounts of shrimp as it is the only item that can be ordered in that quantity. This allows you to taste more flavor & spiciness level combinations for your $$$.

Get "the whole shebang " and get it at least medium. Mild is good too, but you gotta get the whole shebang . Shrimp , crawfish or crab , they're all good.

If you don't know what to get first time...get shrimp..1/2 shrimp and sharing fries does it for me. Newcomers usually aren't disappointed in shebang . My personal favorite is lemon pepper . Oh yeah if c

rarely ever a wait mon-thurs and weekends don't get busy til 5PM so if you don't wanna wait go during those days and times :)

1lb of shrimp Lemmon Pepper Medium Basket Of Fried Shrimp with GC sauce and oysters let me show you how to do this son!!!

Be sure to get at least one corn on the cob. Let it soak in the whole shabang sauce for a while...so damn good!

Newly remodeled and enlarged. Cant wait for the shabang to open in San Diego. TONS of TVs here now too!

Like shrimp shack but waaaaay better????

Make sure your hands are clean , 'cause you will be seriously licking your fingers.

Less crowded than the one on Brookhurst. But quality of food isn't good. Too salty unless shrimps or king crab legs . But they cld serve old crab - ask for the fresh one like I did :p

A completely delicious mess. There should be more meals served in bags.

Amazing shrimp and great service!

Must try the Soft Shell Crabs !

Order a pound of shrimp w/ garlic butter XXX hot. w/ sweet potatoe fries . Delish.

I need some crawfish STAT!!! I think the gumbo is the best around for the price. Try to go off hours, otherwise you are screwed with a line . Read more

Pretty good. Almost as good as the Alhambra locations. No wait

Delicious addictive shrimps

The only place you have to wash your hands before you pee

One of my favorite places to eat on the planet.

Send someone to wait at least 30 mins before you want to eat

The earlier you come the better. That's to dodge the wait. Slow season is now (nov - b4 xmas). Come eat!!

I am a firm believer that this is the BEST Boiling Crab restaurant .

good food, enjoyed it til the last drop

Yes!! Amazing!!!

So gooooood you should try it !

Wish the Boiling Crab chain took Amex. It would make my expense reports for work much easier!

Got the whole shabang mild!

Today is their re-grand opening! No wait. AWESOMEEEE

Get ready to put on a bib and get your hand dirty ...

Try the rice !

Remodel looks great!

don't get crawfish if it's not in season. get some of the other great stuff.

1 hours waiting ????

Great messy fun!

A cup of water is 50 cents.

Get there super early!!
