Get the whole she-bang & have the corn IN the bag, trust me! And if you like to drink, a bottle of beer is perfect. Most importantly, make sure everyone in your party is there or you will be skipped.
Here once again, the food is Great specially for Crab Lovers, try the King Crab leg Mic mild and chilli
Get ready to get dirty for a spicy side of seafood ! Seafood done different with an eastern influence! Corn on cob is a must as well !
As far as spicing get the whole sha'bang... Shrimp crab and gumbo are great choices... be sure to get a carb like rice as a filler
Boiling shrimp , potatoes and sweet corn ???? Last time I think it was too salty, maybe bad day. I love the spicy garlic sauce yum!
When you order the whole sha-bang, be sure to include corn on the cob and sausage with whatever seafood you choose. The corn and sausage really absorb the wonderful chili flavors as well .
Growing in the east coast...wonder what is so special about this seafood place..that command long line ..just regular seafood add old bay seasoning ..will be no different
My go to spot when we travel to Los Angeles is boiling crab
There is nothing here I don't like. My favorite is the pound of shrimp with the Sha-bang sauce.
Although the wait can take up to hours, but bear w it because this place is worth it. Always go w the whole sha-bang sauce on your food. Satisfaction guaranteed.
❥ Seafood lovers Shrimp , Calamari , Fried Oysters Crabs & Lobsters . Fun to be messy with food using your hands & the sauce is so delicious. Waiting line after 7 PM.
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 $$$.
Gwt a pound of shrimp with th e whole 'she-bang' and add some corn into it.
Catfish w/ Cajun fries . Comes with bomb tarter sauce. 2 pounds of crawfish w/ the whole shibang. 2 pounds of shrimp w/ the whole shibang. A few coronas. That's all for me... What you ordering?
If you get there right at open you get seated almost rights away otherwise wait is f o r e v e r busy or not service is always good
Don't forget to get yourself some sweet potato fries and also the Cajun fries !!! Delicious!
They now have mussels ! Clams are good too and shrimp are always a must.
Not crowded at 5pm during weekday for dinner . Prompt service and refills. Delicious food.
Been loving Cracking Crab in Montrose. Giving BC one more try - but a 90+ minute wait is NOT worth it!
Wash your hands by squeezing the lemon slices . It gets rid of the saucy smell!
Ask for corn on the side and you get sauce
We love the whole shebang !!!!
Come here early or get it to go. Waits can be insane.
Tables seat a max of 6. Larger parties need to either divide and conquer, or hit en masses and all be present, or no seating.
I like the ambiance here better than the one located on Valley , MP
Always good, but do take away , since the waits are ridiculous

Cajun fries are better than any, even in Louisiana, and I lived 4 years in the South.
The Whole Sha Bang is the way to go!
Line was loooooong ! Make sure to stick around or they will pass your name. Food is ok.
30+ min wait. Everything disposable, no plates or utensils. Market prices for seafood is on board inside at the back. Flurry of servers bib you and check on you regularly. Overall, ok. $100/5 people.
Head warning: you.will.stink of garlic for awhile. Your clothes .will.stink of garlic ! Dress accordingly.
Make sure everyone in your party is present! If not, you'll get skipped and your table will be given away ): </3
Very messy, but delicious... The snow crabs are huge!
Service is horrible and slow. No one is attentive of the customers. They take the order disappear until the food comes out and never appear again until they see you're bored of waiting for the check.
Best time to go without waiting long is between 12-3pm.
Order 1 lb of shrimp and crawfish with the sha-bang sauce and sweet potato fries .
Love the food hate the wait...so ridiculous uuugh ????
Get the snow crab it's amazing!!
The crawfish is delicious! Unless it was previously frozen. In that case, it is awful. Before you order, make sure they got in a shipment of LIVE crawfish . If they didn't, go for the shrimp .
Shrimp , calamari rings
This is what happens when you heat your genitals to 212F Degrees: Boiling Crabs .
Restaurant should set a time limit on parties more than 5 people
In and out in one hour
The shabang is were the flavor is
A poor showing compared to the original in Garden Grove. Food isn't hot enough and doesn't marinate in the shebang sauce long enough. If you think this is good you NEED to go to the one on Brookhurst.
Eat at the one on Valley Blvd, the staff here are fucking assholes!
If your fatass is done eating then leave quickly.
Gotta get the whole shabang and XXX
When you're done eating, please be considerate of others waiting and leave in reasonable amount of time.
Today i order the Double lobster tail with Boathouse Special sauce it was light but buttery and the lobster was really small, i doubt to visit it again - Mohammed Abu Hajar
Wow!!! Found my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Must order: #29 Live Shrimp with Soy Sauce, #67 Chicken with Lettuce Wrap #86 Seven Flavored Lamb Chop! Most amazingly, they don't cook with MSG! #FTW - Chalsea Chen
Be sure to enjoy a nice cup of their refreshing aguas frescas. Their tacos are super tasty & reasonably priced too - Wong BMe
Happy Hour sucks for beer but is great for food. Good portion sizes. The bahn mi tacos, pork sliders and green bean fries were tasty. - Edgar Sarmiento
The regular/small size is more than enough for me. They're so wide! Wait is pretty long though.. - Danny Fung
The specialty cones lychee, green tea, strawberry chocolate are all so delicious. - E Lee
