Crawfish..crawfish and more crawfish!! What’s the hype about this place? Minimum wait is always one hour and up. If you look around, there are many other places that also sells crawfish, such as “The Rockin’ Crawfish”, “Crawfish House”, “Socal Crawfish”, “Artist Crawfish” & “Crawfish Factory”. But guess what? They are all knockoffs..because Boiling Crab is still the best! The whole Sha-Bang with extra garlic..mmmmm..the season mix with the shrimp/crawfish make them a perfect match that’s irresistible to most people who tried them.

Price is very reasonable, shrimp is $8.99/lb, crawfish is about $8.50/lb (market price), toss in some sweet corns and sausages, omg..it’s so addicting. Especially the sweet corns, they are REALLY sweet, and when you soak them in the sauce, it’s even sweeter! There are many items in the menu that’s also delicious, such as fried catfish, sweet potatoes frieds, raw oysters, cajun chicken wings..ooooo..and they started to sell rice now. It is also very tasty when you mix the white rice w/ the sauce, just remember don’t put too much sauce..it might get too salty.

One thing I want to warn you is that don’t bring your dates here…yeah, you will get messy..not just little bit messy but very very messy. Even though they give you a bib to put on, you can still get your cloth dirty if you are not careful enough. I once spray the juice across the table and landed on my friend’s face. =P Don’t bother order water here, they charge you $0.25 for the water. So might as well order some other drink like soda or beer, you will need them…

Overall the food and service is pretty good, there’s something about the sauce that’s very addicting b/c I crave their crawfish and shrimp very often. I also got several friends hook on their food as well. If you come early before 6pm, the wait is better but still if you come late, be prepare to wait for a long long time.
