THE BOILING CRAB REVIEWS

Excellent service and amazing food! Will definitely recommend this place to others! Hubby and I had our anniversary dinner here and really enjoyed it. We were glad we ended up at this restaurant, the staff were so helpful and friendly. They explained the menu to us and were extremely helpful. Food was delivered to our table within minutes. Service is quicker than a fast food establishment. Keep up the great service and amazing food.

Really impressed with everything here! Food is so flavorful, fresh, and just flat out good! The service was just an add on. Not to diminish the level of service we received. The whole vibe was laxed and chill. Everyone from the cooks to the servers to the other customers was just happy. The food be letting you know!!! Make sure to come try the whole sha- bang.

This place receives 5 star for finger licking spicy food they serve. We ordered Snow Crab with Corn, Sausage, and shrimp. Also side of Cajun Fries and Sweet Potato fries. All of them tasted amazing with whole Sha-bang and medium spice level.

BIG SHUCKS REVIEWS

Best seafood joint in Dallas! You walk in and the place looks like a real seafood joint that you'll see by the beach! You place your order up front, you don't pay till after your meal before you walk out and you tell them exactly what you ordered (be honest on what you order). We ordered 2 dozen oysters, 2 shrimp cocktails (spicy), and fried catfish basket. Everything tasted terrific! Oysters are fresh and big! Shrimp cocktail had tons of shrimp, they don't hold back like other places, and go.

The sea bass and salmon were extremely fresh and excellent. The crab bites were unusual, but a perfect starter with the calamari. Esme and Mayrin were very welcoming and friendly.

Been coming here for years and the staff and service has always been satisfactory. Pitcher of beer and seafood basket. Can’t go wrong.
