Our Guestbook
“ My husband and I stopped by The Boiling Crab in Austin after running some errands, and we’re so glad we did! We went in on a whim, but it turned out to be a great decision. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress, Angelyna, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Since it was our first time, she took the time to explain the menu and make sure we knew what to expect. When our food arrived, she even showed us how to crack open the Blue Crab properly and continued to check on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was going well. The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We had a great experience from start to finish and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ”
“ The food was amazing with the seasons hitting every spot. They had me leaving with the taste in my mouth wanting more. They have a great variety of seafood and great prices compared to other places I’ve been. The customer service was great our server constantly checking on us making sure we had everything, and everything was good. Overall the experience was amazing I will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Came here on a Monday for a date night! There was no line and so we got seated right away. The waitress went above and beyond describing the menu and telling us how to order. Her recommendations were on point. I highly recommend their catfish, although I was not a fan of the fried but think they were overcooked a little bit. The medium was more of a hot to me but still really good! ”
“ We arrived in Austin, from out of town, knowing we had to stop in and get something from The Boiling Crab (one of our favorite stops during our trips). We checked in, even though there was an hour wait time. Not only was the greeting staff amazing, we had the privilege of meeting the manager on duty - Frank. When I say he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, I mean it! He assured us we would be seated under an hour and he was right. He even remembered our names, despite how busy they were. He even checked on us periodically, throughout our meal, to make sure we were taken care of. Then, seeing him help his staff by cleaning and helping take care of customers, was a great sight to see. The staff and he looked to have great rapport, and a good work environment. Thank you, to all of you, for making our out-of-town dining experience such a memorable one! ”
“ I go to The Boiling Crab and have a great time. I order a combo with shrimp, crawfish, and crab all with whole shabang sauce. It’s spicy, buttery, and super tasty. The crab is my favorite, sweet and juicy. I also get corn, sausage, and potatoes everything full of flavor. Eating is messy but fun with gloves. Place is busy but service is fast and staff is friendly. I drink sweet tea, nice to balance the spice. If you love seafood and don’t mind getting your hands dirty, this is the spot. I will 100% come back! ”
“ I’ve been waiting for this place to open up. Came here after work and there was a good amount of people here at 4:30pm. We had to wait 5 minutes for seating, and we got the booths which were big and comfortable. We ordered king crab with corn, potato, egg with the 3 mixed sauce for one bag, and the other bag with quarter pound shrimp, one pound crawfish with potato, sausage, corn. We also got the sha bang shrimp sides. The hot level can get pretty spicy, the mixed sauce is not my favorite since the lemon pepper makes it tangy but next time I’ll get garlic butter. The seafood was good and fresh, the corn was delicious. But I do wish the seafood had more of the sauce incorporated inside of it, you can tell when the water wasn’t seasoned and the seasoned was added after. The service is really good, the food was good and the vibes were great. Their margaritas were so refreshing. I would come back here. ”
“ Nice and friendly people, attentive and served with joy. Enjoyed the atmosphere with other people not crowded plenty of space. Enjoyed the view also ”
“ I had some time to kill, so I came in a Saturday around 4pm. I was told it was a 15-20 minute wait, but I was seated immediately at an outside table. So if there's more than 1 of you, I'd recommend making a reservation or be prepared to wait for a table. Lisa took care of me and did a great job juggling several tables. I enjoyed the visit very much and am glad I stopped by. Definitely will come back with my family next time. I got the fried softshell crab, Cajun fries, and sweet tea. It was all on point. ”
