LOVE LOVE LOVE Boiling Crab! It is the spot to go with friends and family, kid friendly as well! Always love to order mussels and potatoes, shrimp and lobster too! Nicely air conditioned, you will not regret coming here. If you come on the weekend (after 6pm) go prepared to wait at least 1.5 or 2 hours. But trust me worth the wait.

This location has the friendliest employees and the food was delicious. It was 93$ for 2 people comfortably and lots of leftovers for 3 or 4 people. Great food !

The food was good, as usual, but the service at this location wasn’t very attentive. We had to ask for nearly everything, though it was eventually brought out. The wait time was extremely long—over two hours—even though there were many open tables.

The food here is so good that the wait times are always crazy that’s the only downside but if you can muster the patience of sometimes 2hr:30mins wait times it will be worth it. I’d recommend finding an activity to do after you add yourself to the wait list.

Casual seafood boil spot in LA. They are usually always busy and have a wait. I recommend joining their yelp waitlist if you can. I usually come here with a group and we all order for ourselves but everything is shareable. They have bibs and gloves (must ask) to help with eating. But honestly if you come eat here, you will get a bit messy. But flavor of food is good. They don’t have a designated parking lot, but there are free parking lots nearby and street parking available. My usual is 2lbs of shrimp whole shabang, medium spicy and fried catfish basket. They play music and have TVs inside, usually playing sports games. A small waiting area inside, or just stand outside. They will text you when your table is ready.

My review is based on the 2 occasion I been there. I regularly go to the one in Burbank. The first time we went there was because we were close by and the wait was less, we got seated and we placed our order, but unfortunately I think we didn't get the full pound that we order and the flavor was not as good as the one in Burbank. We also noticed that they allow dogs 🐕 and the one that it was behind me it was a pit bull no discrimination against the bread, but he was throwing some farts and well you can just imagine. Now we went there yesterday to give it a second try and we'll I don't think I want to go back. The waiter was nice ,but we had to ask for lemos several times and I guess based on my experience in Burbank I always thought they bring them to you as soon as you place your order. Now when the shrimp 🍤 arrive there was not enough sauce in the bags, and the fry shrimp was cold along with the fries. Again am making my review compared to the location in Burbank, so if you ask me, I will definitely keep going to the location in Burbank!!!

There was zero sauce. They gave me no reason to choose this place compared to other's. I can't even tell you if their sauce is better than others places because its just tasted a little seasoned. I wanted to call and ask for my money back but it's Covid people are stressed enough. I would only try again if I were to sit in. I had higher expectations..... Update you have to buy an extra juicy sauce on the side ... I tried it and it was pretty good

Expect long waiting time if you want to eat here unless you come earlier when they just open. Their prices are rather high. Food tasted ok, a bit too salty for me. They have fast and friendly customer service.

Why do they always have a long waiting time walk in no one waiting as usual at the door only party of 3.. saw more than 4 empty tables for the guy who's at the door say 2hr waiting for 2 people.. No thank you. Went to try Jumpin lobster across them 😋 recommended 100% no long waitings.

WOW! 3 hours to wait when there's only 15 people in line and plenty of tables open. Plus dirty tables just sitting there with urgency to ckean and flip the table.There is no point on joining a wait list when not one person on that wait list is in the building. They say first come first serve but that is far from the truth. I can't believe that a restaurant would actually turn away business when there's tables to be filled. It really ruined our experience and to be honest I will never come back to this place. The food is good but not good enough to starve and wait while guests can show up any time. If they miss their window and show up they're put back on the lost before you. Does not sound like first come first serve. 🤔 I still spent 100 dollars to take food home and eat it cold. I don't live close by and this is just ridiculous. As a business owner I recommend you don't have an online waiting list. They should show up and be put on the list and sat accordingly. You're losing money otherwise and making guest upset creating a void with the business and the guest. Sorry but the cold food was not worthy of taking a picture.

Ugh, I hate to have to write a negative review seeing that we love Boiling Crab but unfortunately my experience with this location was less than ideal. The only saving grace was the food, but everything else left a bad taste in my mouth towards Boiling Crab Alhambra. I took my mentee here for her birthday we arrived at 8:30 and were told we needed to wait 15-20 minutes even though there were a few tables open but that was no problem, we just went outside to take some photos and the wait was 12 minutes. We got to our table a little before 9. We ordered our food either our server and she was very excited as she loves seafood, we waited for food which didn’t seem to take long but here in lies the problem: as soon as our food all arrived at our table presumably the manager or server who was not the one serving us began to rush us out and said we’re about to close with over 30 minutes till closing. From that point on we felt rushed out as the servers around us loudly started putting up the tables I checked the time and we still had over 30 minutes to eat. She was watching the commotion and kept asking should we just go (during her birthday dinner) I told her enjoy your food and don’t worry about the time. We finished our drink and our server was no where in sight but other servers kept stopping by to look in which was excessive. This same man who informed us of the closing then came around again not long after and put to go cups on our table so we were ready to go, too which we felt more rushed but at this point there was still people in our section. Immediately after another lady who was not our server came by asking if we wanted refills to which we said sure and told her what we had she takes our cup comes back and tells us the soda machine is off already, it didn’t sound truthful at all and finally almost a minute after this lady left our server comes back around and ask if we wanted a refill and I look at my mentee who now speaks up and says the other server said the soda machine is off, I give the server a knowing look and she is about to still get us a refill but the birthday girl tells her the man brought to go cups to us so instead she just leaves. I can see the birthday girl was no longer enjoying her dinner and couldn’t focus on anything but the servers making a point to get out before closing, by then I also lost my appetite by the incessant stopping and looking. It was still more than 15 minutes till closing. After that we never saw our server again. I go to wash my hands as the last table in our section gets up and see and here a lot of commotion in the front, the restaurant in the front is still full of people sitting and enjoying their dinner and I’m immediately annoyed now. When I come back I tie my bag to go and let her keep eating he brings the check to me and I pay but was extremely disappointed with the service and the overall impression I have of this location. When we walk out before 10pm every table in the front of the restaurant is filled with people enjoying their meal still eating and the birthday girl is offended, she didn’t even get to open her birthday present or card. I do my best to turn it around and take pictures but when we drive off home around 10:15, there are still people there. I respect service workers but it felt very targeted to get us out and it was an overall disappointing experience on her 20th birthday night.

The shrimp is not fresh at all, because it have black spots around the legs, that mean it been in the refrigerator under normal temperature for more than two days, and the shells are very soft and most of the shrimp the head came off half way, i think they need a better kitchen manager, the shrimp start to have bacteria. I would not go to this place again.
