The Boiling Crab

We had a reunion in Las Vegas and this was one of the places we ate at. Super delicious seafood but they also had food for those who are allergic. We had crabs, shrimps, mussels, calamari, chicken tenders, and french fries. Service was great and the place was nothing fancy but clean and spacious. I think the bill came to about $35 per.pax, so it's very reasonable.

Probably the best Cajun shrimp I’ve ever had. Over here you’re supposed to eat off the table but makes sense as you’re going to really pig out here. The seasoning is intense and super flavorful. Seafood is very fresh and the sausage is delicious and not overly salty. Easy 10/10. Well worth driving out of the way for it.

A very popular spot located off the beaten path in Las Vegas. The food is well worth the wait as this place seems like it's packed a majority of the time. The food is served in a bag and meant to be eaten off the table, which was a first for me. Gloved and utensils are provided for breaking open the crab legs, and the servers here are great as they are very attentive to your table. Will be back for good food and more of the great atmopshere.

We made it to a boiling crab in a different state, How fun! The Alaskan king crab was delicious, though it was weird hearing such a wide possible price per lb. We were told 70-95 a lb. The shrimp was fantastic! Loved the whole shebang sauce. Had the crawfish as well. Won't re-order the crawfish everything else was definitely delightful.

Jay was our server he is very friendly and helpful. The food is so great

1/21/2024 This place is as good as the other boiling crabs. The hot Asian chick who served us was also very good at what she does.

It's the boiling crab! The food is awesome the price is good and you eat like royalty. I would recommend to anyone who listens to come and eat here. Unfortunately we don't have one in Chicago (that I know of) or else I would eat here way more often. First time we tried it was in California and now here in Vegas. Visiting from Chicago we made sure this was 1 of our stops while vacation Vegas.

I like this place. My lady and I made reservations and arrived 15 minutes late and they still honored our reservation...that was REALLY nice of them. The staff was very friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. I made one major mistake though; I ordered my food with the XXX heat seasoning option. OMG, never again, it was TOO SPICY for me (a self proclaimed "spice lover") lol! But anyways, the food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Nice environment with several tv's showing multiple sports games. I'm looking forward to coming here again.

I recently dined at Boiling Crab and had the pleasure of being served by Joey, who truly enhanced our dining experience. From the moment we were seated, Joey's warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for an enjoyable meal. His deep knowledge of the menu and insightful recommendations, especially on the best seafood combinations and seasoning choices, made it easy for us to decide. Joey's attentiveness was exceptional; he frequently checked on our table to ensure everything was perfect, refilled drinks promptly, and always did so with a friendly smile. Joey's efficiency and professionalism were evident throughout our visit. He handled our large group with ease, ensuring that all orders were correct and delivered in a timely manner. His ability to manage multiple tables without missing a beat was impressive. Joey also went above and beyond by providing extra bibs and gloves without us having to ask, anticipating our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Thanks to Joey, our evening at Boiling Crab was not just a meal but a memorable experience. We look forward to returning and hope to be served by him again.

So bomb and flavorful! Only down side is they don't have shrimp w out head, but other than that everything was really good!

You need to go here it's the best and I wish everyone can come here the best place in my decision

There was about a 15 or so minute wait for 2 people, at a reasonably busy time. We actually expected it to be longer, so the short wait was great. We got a text to come in and we're promptly seated. Service was really fast and efficient! The food was delicious! Literally perfectly seasoned and fairly easy to get everything apart. There was a point that our server was just not coming back around to check on us so we eventually had to flag her down to get the check. I've been to a handful of different boil places and this place was definitely up there. We saved our leftovers in the bag and it heated up easily in a pot of water at home which super rocks. For a good boil place in vegas, i'd for sure recommend here.

I was excited to come and try this place. My bf from Hawaii came to visit and specifically asked for a crab boil. I ordered the Dungeness crab and clams and my friend ordered the king crab legs with shrimp. This place was super disappointing. Everything came out separately, not like your traditional crab boil. Service from staff was subpar and the food/taste was equally inadequate. It was super underwhelming and I was so embarrassed because my bf was expecting an amazing crab boil.

Very busy today due to Father's Day. Added myself to the waitlist via Yelp. Was #74 in line. Wait was about an hour and a half total. Yelp waitlist is a good tool so dont need to head to the restaurant until you are closer in line to getting a table. Food was ok. Did have to send my king crab legs back as they came out lukewarm. They came back out steaming... (I assume they popped them in the microwave). Server was friendly.

This place is always packed. The atmosphere is super friendly casual, and laid-back. The staff here are very helpful, give great recommendations, and they are very friendly. The food here is amazing, comes out hot and fresh. We had a large group of 20 and the waiter did an amazing job.

We came in for an early Father's Day lunch on Saturday. Joey was so attentive and so sweet. We loved his service. Definitely will be back to sit on Joey's section! The fresh crawfish is definitely worth it. The crab legs never fails, and the shrimp always hits the spot!

Love good food ...super tasty food love the best service ever.love Good.5 Star Blue good Raw good love love Whole Shabang Shrimps good. Wow

Service was good. Seafood was fresh. The star of the show was the fried oysters and fried lemon pepper wings. The wings are savory and cooked to perfection. They come out steaming. I ordered 1lb of shrimp whole shabang mild. It was garlicy , spicy but under seasoned. I've been to boiling crab in the past and the sauce is usually a 5. This time it wasn't as good. Ambiance is typical of causal dining. There is writing on the wall purposely. My sister got snow crab and whew market price was $40 dollars. there aren't any prices on the menu. So if you are concerned about budget ask about market prices.

Yes, we're back at this spot after some time, and it's as great as ever. The service and food are consistently excellent. Unfortunately, my kids weren't in the mood for seafood, so they ordered chicken tenders and fries. Despite that, this place never disappoints. Our server, Jamie, was fantastic. She took our orders promptly, and our food arrived quickly. It's a solid 10/10. Whenever we visit Vegas, we'll definitely return here.

Don't go anywhere to get your crawfish boil fix! Boiling Crab is always a hit whenever I come. Yes, the wait time is long, but it's worth it! The staff are always friendly and helpful. Their seafood is usually fresh and delicious, especially the crawfish! I always come here for the fresh live crawfish. Don't settle for the frozen ones when live is available, trust me! There is a difference! The Live Crawfish right now usually goes for $19/lb. Get the Whole Sha-Bang for the sauce cause it combines all 3 into one and it's a game changer! The live crawfish is always huge critters and the sauce is so flavorful we always take it to go to either make fried rice or broth for noodles. Usually I squeeze maybe 2-3 limes or lemons and shake the bag up to get it nicely coated and it balances out the saltiness of the sauce. Also definitely get the fried oysters, hot wings in the lemon pepper flavor, Gumbo, and their new item: Crabber Fries! Omgg the Crabber Fries is an amazing addition to the menu. They use fresh blue crab on top of lemon pepper fries and they drizzle this yummy mayo or aioli sauce on top, chef's kiss! The fries also can be Cajun seasoned, but our waitress recommended lemon pepper and it was perfect!

Went to Vegas a couple weeks ago. I always wanted to go to the tbc in Vegas, I've been to several tbc in S. Cal so I know it's going to be good.. There are other seafood boil restaurants in Vegas which I'll try next time.

Food is delicious!!! The only but is that our order of oyster came with 5 instead of 6 and we told server never came back with any apology or solution.

YES YES YES!!! Everything about this trip was amazing. The server that we got was so attentive and polite as well as the guy giving the wait times he was very kind to us. When we got sat she was patient and when our food arrived she checked in with us a good amount of times. It was awesome. We did stay a couple minutes past closing time and nobody rushed us or kicked us out. The huge shark that they have there makes this one of my favorite boiling crabs to eat at! I will definitely be coming back with my family.

So I went to this restaurant the very first time and it was packed. Honestly worth the hype. I got the 1pound shrimp bag, corn and their catfish basket with Cajun fries. All of it was delicious. From the fries to the their amazing shebang sauce with multiple spice levels. I chose the medium level. The staff was quite friendly and energetic; our server checked on us multiple times to make sure my dining experience was enjoyable. The ambience had a causal setting and had a sports bar/ beachy vibe. There was a slight delay on getting my order, but the ambience and multiple TV screens kept me distracted. The interesting factor was we were provided bibs and we used our hands (they do provide gloves) to devour the amazing food.

Unfortunately this place was disappointing. The worst was the extremely slow service. We waited about 30 mins just for the server to come out. They was nice but very slow and they brought out our food one dish at a time. The food was mediocre. Chicken wings had a lot of fenders which is pretty disgusting.

Please answer the phone.... Always , impossible to order for pickup between 3-4pm . Frustrating ‍

+Food & Flavor + Customer Service + Large Dining Space +Ample TVs for Sports Fans + Celebratory Specials - example, on 2/13 they had the Mardi Gras special (half off beers and fresh / non frozen crawfish). [Note One] The king crab was so delicious and our waitress even offered gloves for easy eating. And let me tell you, the Cajun-seasoned Fried Soft Shell Crab basket was the perfect way to kick off the meal! [Note Two] "The Whole Shebang" flavor was certainly tasty, but be warned: it packs a spicy punch! With the lobster (shelled), the mild spice was perfect. But for corn and other add-ins, the heat can creep up. So, if you're spice-sensitive, proceed with caution!

One place I will never get tired of. The service can get pretty busy but can you blame them? The food is so good! The wait is typically 45 minutes but if you can wait, it's worth it. I always order a pound of shrimp whole Shabang mild with extra lemon pepper. The sauce it packed with flavor, hands down the best crab boil. Inside there is lots to look at, it's a fun environment with fun decor. I love that you can come in and watch the game while you eat.

Food was great, and the service was awesome! The wait was not long! Gave us plenty of sides to dip into with our meal. Great recommendations for our first time visit!

Arrived at approx. 3:30pm on a a Saturday, it was pretty busy but we only waited a few minutes to get seated. I had been to this Boiling Crab before and had a great experience but today was not that. We ordered 2 orders of Cajun fries (10/10), Medium Shebang shrimp with potatoes and corn (5/10), and 1 Shebang shrimp XXX (8/10), order of white rice (5/10) and micheladas (6.5/10). For starters, the fries were brought out 15min before the shrimp. It seemed as if the shrimp were forgotten in the mix somewhere. The shrimp were over cooked and difficult to peel to the point where some shrimp were mushy. The medium shebang was more oil than seasoned - I really had to dig for the seasoning. My friends bag didn't have much seasoning at all. My boyfriend enjoyed the flavor of the XXX, only Complaint again was a lot of the shrimp were really hard to peel. Our server didn't stop by to ask us how we were doing and the one time she did she didn't give me a chance to reply before walking away. We had to flag her down to ask for things we needed. Maybe it was just an off day but for $50/person I would rather go to another place. I'm sure it was just an off day.

This place was busy. We came on a Saturday and had to wait about 15 or 20 mins before being sat. We ordered some lemon pepper wings to start and then got a pound of king crab legs with potatoes. All the food was really really good. I was excited that it didn't take us long to get our food. Our server was amazing. They are always so busy in there. The game was on the tv's and it was just packed. All the tables were sat and there was always people in the waiting area, waiting to be sat at their table. I think it is my new favorite crab spot! It has a great vibe great for groups!

LOVE IT SO MUCH. The food is always warm and yummy. The servers are always so polite even during the biggest rushes.They are always clean as well no matter how packed it is.Wait time are very long sometimes so I recommend trying to join the queue and checking and try joining before you get there!

This is probably the best sea food place here, excellent service, excellent food. Just think there should be another location

The food was tasty, very customizable. unfortunately, they were out of mussels & the michelada that we ordered was a bit clumpy. the service was good, & it was very busy! I would recommend putting yourself on the waitlist!

Okay, okay, okay. I totalllly get the hype with Boiling Crab. Believe it or not, it was my first time here and we came to celebrate my sister's birthday. We joined Yelp waitlist (WOO) and when we got there, we had missed the 10 minute grace period. The hostess was a little weird about it (we literally missed it by 3 minutes), so she took a few minutes before she sat us. Not terrible. They have a huge waiting area will plenty of seats so we just sat down and waited. We were called within 5 minutes I wanna say and our table was ready. Our group was 5 of us, including my dad, who had never been to a place like this before. The do have drinks, but no wine, which was sad for my dad but who cares, they had margaritas so we all got the. Our server was OUTSTANDING. He was so patient with us and really great. He checked in on us often, too, which was fantastic. There's a lot of food options to pick from, but I tried the fried oysters and fried softshell crab. Soooo tasty. The sauce they give you to eat it with is also good. I also ordered the snow crab and a side of rice. They let you pick your spice levels and the type of seasoning, too. I went with garlic seasoning and mild spice level. SOOO good. My dad got the shrimp and I tried some of his. It was pretty good, too. And then my sister's husband got the crawdad, which I believe our server said that those were fresh in the back (wiiiild). Those were also pretty good. But really, definitely get the crab. It's the best! The best part of this place is you eat with your hands and they give you bibs. Be sure to ask for gloves or you'll be smelling like this place for a while. Seriously such a great place for fresh seafood and I definitely will be back!

Great food, customer service and ambiance. Our server was really nice and genuine. She communicated well and made sure we had everything.

Food was amazing as always! Service was good, could be improved. And overall just great for a date night or just night out with friends and great vibes!

This is the original classic seafood crab boil joint. Knowing how busy it could get, I was happy to learn I was able to join the waitlist on YELP and drive up with only needing to wait a few minutes to be seated. Our original place was #15 so this feature was a great time saver! This place is always loud and busy but a good sign that it's popularity has not been watered down by the other seafood boil type places in the area that have cropped up over the last few years. We ordered the calamari for appetizer and it was one of the best I've had. Not the rinky dinky calamaris, large satisfying pieces. I ordered half a pound of shrimp with the WHOLE SHEBANG No spice... SUPER DELICIOUS! I added corn, potatoes and sausage links. It's always fun getting your bag of food. My brother got a pound of the fresh crawfish and had a ball enjoying his bag of fun. My mom originally wanted the Dungeness crab but they only offered this as a WHOLE CRAB (usually $45-50) but she didn't want a whole crab. Instead she opted for the snow crab legs with a side of white rice. She enjoyed her crab as well but decided to take most of it home so she could have it with vinegar.(they do not offer vinegar) If you're looking for a fun dinner and craving seafood, this is the place to go.

I have been coming to this place for years and I honestly cannot say that I have ever had a better experience than today. All thanks to Markie!! The food was great but the server was even BETTER! Dear Management, Please reward Markie for going above and beyond. Good customer service is hard to receive but he did that. Thank you. 10/10 Recommend. Ask for Markie.

I had this in LA before it was soooooo good so I had to visit this Vegas branch. This was second time visit here. - Food: Oh, it didn't disappoint! We ordered crawfish, corn, potatoes, sausages, snow crab legs and chicken wings. The crawfish was okay (You can choose either raw/frozen) but!! I came here for the The Whole Shabang sauce, perfect combination of all three flavors (Rajun Cajun + Lemon Pepper + Garlic) and the scent of garlic, rich butter.. om nom nom. The snow crab had a lot of meat and melting in the mouth. .. I'm drooling lol They are generous on lemon slices. *Chicken Wings One of the group members recommended so I was like, 'why chicken wings at a seafood restaurant?' I was wrong! The chicken was so tender and juicy. The triple x (xxx) spicy level seasoning was perfect for me! I think it is better than BWW lol I strongly recommend! - Ambience: This is a huge place, maybe 60-70 tables. Little bit of sea concept decor (fishnet, helm, marine rope,...) Lively, casual and can be noisy. There is a huge ceiling pan. You can see the kitchen. - Service: The staff was friendly and kept checking on us. - Hygiene: A sheet of vinyl coated paper will be placed on the table. The food will be served in disposable plastic bag. Water is served in a disposable plastic cup as well. - Price: It is slightly more expensive side. Corns, potatoes and sausages were a bit pricey. I wish there was a package deal (like combo -corns/potatoes/sausages included) as now they are all separate individual menu. Everything adds up quickly. - Restroom: It was clean. Gender separated. - Location: It is near Palms Casino Resort. About 10-15 minute drive from the Strip - Parking: It is in a shopping plaza so there is a plenty of parking. - ETC * This is a busy place, get a reservation or there will often be a wait * You will be seated when the whole group of guests are there. * Be careful with sauce splashing into your eyes. It was not fun! * Extra Sauce: $4.5 * Gloves and bips are provided * You can take the leftover home [Will I be back?] Yes, of course! I am a Vegas local and if I have guests who never been to a seafood boil restaurant, this is it! It is a fun unique experience, you don't need plates, fork, spoons just hands. I've tried several similar concept of seafood boils in Vegas but the sauce didn't hit the spot like this 20 year old history franchise. Nobody can't beat the sauce!

Food was great , service was amazing, especially our server Joey, great charisma and very helpful indeed. Been a returning customer and this place never disappoints

Forgot to join the waitlist but got in and it was about a 30min wait time. Came during lunch and yes it was busy. Got seated and our waitress Rhe was awesome! We got raspberry iced tea and she came back and asked if it was watery and changed it out which we were happy about. Ordered the 1/2 lb. Shrimp and side order of sausage and 1lb shrimp and mussels. Food came out in a timely manner and we were ready to feast. Lemons, salt and pepper were provided as well which goes great with your meal if you like it. Gloves and a bib given cause it'll get messy. So much decor all around and I would say it's great to have for the kids.

The service was slow and not consistent. Had multiple people being our order. 2 out of the 5 were wrong. They do not give buckets or extra bags for empty shells. The menu could be easier to handle it is rather silly that half the menu does not have prices if its online only they can change the prices based on the market daily if they really wanted. . 2 out of the 5 of us felt sick the next day. We have gone to other seafood boil places and this was not what we were expecting. It was fairly busy but could have been more organized. The staff still wear masks which is fine but it was so loud it was hard to hear them tell us the orders or hear us. Felt it was over priced to not include sides.

Had the most amazing time here ! Visited Vegas BC on Monday and our server Mary was so nice and the best !! The manager was also so kind an amazing !! Overall all the staff was super friendly and the overall experience was great! The food is always the best to !!

The Waitlist for TBC on Yelp is a welcome, if not mandatory, function. I signed in an hour before our desired time and was #37. When I arrived, I only had to wait 15 minutes. The walk-in ahead of me was told she'd have a 60 to 90 minute wait. Abbie was our server. She was friendly, professional, appropriately attentive, and knowledgeable. She was great! The menu pricing is "market price," so you have to ask. I was pleasantly surprised that the bill for our group of 4 with a mix of half and full pound bags of shrimp, potatoes and corn was only $72. The clear plastic bags successfully contained our individual orders. Half a pound of boiled shrimp with potatoes and corn on the cobb was filling and made a complete and tasty meal. With the liquid from the shrimp mixed with your selection of spices made for a messy, though very enjoyable, dining experience. You'll have spicy fingers drenched in sauce as you have to remove the shrimp heads and peel away the tail skin. It's a bit of work, but well worth it. Though you're given a plastic bib, wear appropriate clothing (like NOT a white shirt). After enjoying our meal, a trip to the restroom was required to wash our hands. The bathroom was spacious, clean, fresh smelling, and uniquely equipped to meet the needs of this distinctive restaurant. There was a large stainless steel trough with 3 faucets spaced well apart. The faucet handles were paddles, which made it easy to turn on and off without using your hands. Overall, TBC is noisy, but does not affect conversations at the individual tables. I will be back for Lobster and shrimp in the not too distant future!

Overall, probably one of the better places to eat in Vegas. The Cajun fries were somewhat salty however, the main entree bag of crab was great. Will definitely eat there again.

I have lost count on the amount of times I've been to this place! It is by far THE BEST crawfish spot in town!! One thing that I also love about this place is not only the fact that it is huge, but also that you can join the Yelp waitlist before heading there. It is so convenient to know how busy it is and when to head out. But again, because the place is big, the wait is never too long. The place has TVs all around & usually play the games. It looks like a typical crawfish place where you can potentially write on the walls, although you might need to ask the staff first (I've never done it). My go to is usually half a pound of shrimp (MP), with the whole shabang sauce (a mixture of all the sauces), and medium spicy level. It is definitely spicy but so delicious. And my favorite part: it is full of garlic flavors! I also add corn in the cob inside the bag but you can also order it on the side with butter. The lemon pepper fries are a MUST! The staff is always friendly & very attentive. I will be back very soon!

I want to give a 5 star, but the price for what I got, with out sides kind of through me off . I'm used to getting corn, sausage and potatoes in my bag for that much.The sea food was very fresh but not enough sauce. I order a pound 1/2 of shrimp & pound of crawfish and a XXX Shabang Sauce on the side.(hence why I didn't get sauce in my damn bag.)paid 45.75 and didn't get NO potato, sausage egg,or corn, nada. You have to buy all of that separate. Each Peice. It's very delicious I love they sauce. The atmosphere is very calm and clean. The waitresses and hostess are very nice and polite. It's Just very expensive. I got it to go, and added crab legs and sides.

Favorite place for seafood boils! Employees are super nice, the service is wonderful, and food is always great !!

My friend suggested this place. She had been to their old location a while ago I found out later. It was loud. The market prices are displayed on the left as you walk to your table. They were out of blue crab & Pacifico that night. I ordered snow crab but all you got was one cluster which consisted of four narrow legs for $42. An order of blue crab topped fries.$12. (Yes they had blue crab for that) Their "real" butter did not taste right. My friend ordered catfish. That was five pieces, she did not finish it. I was not impressed. I will not go back. IMO it was a total waste of money. The server was pleasant & attentive.

i recently dined in this past week because me and my boyfriend loooooove the boiling crab in california. originally from the bay we always try and find one near us wherever we are and we were fortunately staying the weekend here in vegas with his family. ive been going to the ones in san jose for years and in san diego as well but something was different about the one in vegas. maybe it was the heat getting to us because we are rarely here but it was really hot inside. going from an oven to a sauna didnt help much. i dont know if it was the ac or jus too many people inside with all that heat. the food was okay compared to other locations and the service was great. me and my boyfriend felt bad because how are the employees running around in this heat. kudos to them.

Best crab boil place in Las Vegas hands down from the sauces to choose from the quality and the waiters are all amazing definitely recommend!!!

Always delicious! The wait is usually long, but for good reason. Service here is also excellent every time I go. Last visit, I had Connor and Tiffany help us out and both of them were so sweet and helpful. Love BC!!!

Make sure you glove up and get ready to be down n dirty. Hit the wholeshabang with a side of rice. This is still my favorite Maryland crab spot in Vegas, their sauce is *chefs kiss. I have been to quite a few other spots but I always crave this one. Interior is like you are on a ships cafeteria slash sports bar. They have the cheap paper table cloths and paper cups, we love this. I am a trash animal when I eat and the boiling crab knows this.

Awesome food, try to watch here every weekend if we can. Really recommended. A++++++++++++

Food is great, and staff are really nice and helpful, we love coming here! Ambience is fun!

Tried the place in California before so i was excited to try In Vegas. Love seafood boils. Ended up trying the clams, crawfish, shrimp,egg and sausage all in the hot juicy medium. You do order everything separately market price. There's no already combine Seafood bags.The flavor is definitely there this location is pretty huge with a lot of seating you can also check in on yelp ahead of time so that we were already on the waitlist once we arrived. checked in at the front to let the employee know I was there and we were seated in the next 2 to 3 minutes. everyone was really nice and , Food did not take long at all! we definitely will be coming back.favorite were the clams they are also really huge compared to most places.loved the flavor, LOVED the spicy got Mostly videos, pics didn't do Me much justice .10/10 recommend

This is my favorite place in Vegas for crawfish and seafood boils! The wait can be long at times, but here is a Line Hack: Go online and join the waitlist on Google or Yelp! MY RECOMMENDATIONS Spice Level: Whole Shebang Medium 1. Shrimp - (1 order = 1.5ish lbs) 2. Crawfish - Check that they're fresh (1 order = 1.5ish lbs) 3. King Crab Legs (1 order = 1.5ish lbs) if you are into crab legs. Add-ons 1. Hard Boiled Eggs (3 per) These are delicious with the sauce. 2. Corn Sides 1. Cajon fries - Medium 2. Rice is your spice tolerance is low.
