Editorial review from Citysearch 2/3/2014

Awesome place to come eat. When this first open, it was a great new idea. The place gives you your good similiar to a claim bake. Choose what you want, how much you want, and seasoning you want. The food is brought to you in a plastic bag shakin with all the food and flavors chosen. Get the whole shabang! more

Serves Raw Catfish & Won't Acknowledge It! 8/13/2011

Went to the location on Main last night. Ordered the bland oysters, yummy but gritty clams, and the catfish with fries. Now, there's a reason catfish is never served in sushi: it's not meant to be eaten raw!! I have photos posted on yelp for your review. Just search for raw catfish. My brother and I each had 1 fillet out of 5 and immediately noticed the fish was off. We didn't want to make a big deal out of it at first, but decided not to risk food poisoning. When we asked the manager, Sao, for a HALF order of shrimp in exchange, we were told that the policy was not to return food simply because customers weren't satisfied. Uh, did I mention the fish was RAW and so RANCID that my cat would vomit it out? We were then told that their fish was always prepared this way and that catfish has a smell to it. True, catfish has grassy undertones--not old fishy ones. BTW, we've eaten at the same location before and have never been so unhappy with the fish. The food was left unexchanged. Felt bad for the servers; not their fault the manager showed such bad judgment and that the company has a policy which endangers public health. I immediately called my credit card company and had the charges reversed. Still suffered through the squirts today. Bad, raw seafood can have very bad consequences. Save your tummy and stay away!! more

Nice place to hang out and eat good grub 3/16/2010

Good Stuff!! This place is a bit small, but the atmosphere is good and the food, is for the most part fresh and tasty. The Catfish Basket for $8.99 is a steal with 4 to 6 pieces of crispy moist fish. You can't beat the fresh Cajun shrimp either, though be warned the shrimp is served in authentic style with heads and claws attached. I definitely would recommend this spot. For fans of the Alhambra restaurant, a larger place is opening on Main Street in April. Pros: Tasty Simple Menu. Seafood All The Way Cons: Crowded more

it's all a con! 3/11/2010

This place is terrible. Perhaps it was good in the past, but I can't imagine how. Imposters - like the mcdonald's of cajun food. BAD. more

Can't get enough 10/2/2009

One of the best seafood restaurants you can get in this city. Love the shrimps, fresh oysters and corns. There are also choices of king crab legs, crabs, crawfish and as well as non-seafood stuff. The shrimps are so good that always make me craving more and more. The only drawback is there's always a linnnnnnnnnnnnne every time I go there. Pros: nice place to dine with a group of people Cons: long waits more

great seafood restaurant 4/6/2009

The restaurant has a seafood theme with fishing nets and pictures hanging on the walls. In between are signatures of all the people who came though the place. The waiters are nice and friendly. Once you are seated and ready, they go by and put a bib so your cloths don?t get all dirty when you are finished eating. You have to get an order of the Cajun fries. The shrimp is really good. It is loaded with garlic and flavor from the sauces. They also have other seafood you can order like oysters, king crab legs, crayfish, and gumbo. I liked this place a lot compared to some other seafood restaurants around the neighborhood. The only problem with The Boiling Crab is the lines can be very long at peak hours starting at 6. It is defiantly worth the wait. I am very pleased and go back every time I?m craving seafood! Pros: Delicious food, fun environment Cons: Lines can be very long on friday, saturday nights more
