I didn't want to wait 2.5 hours so I got some food to go and only had to wait 10 minutes. I got the mussels, shrimp, fried shrimp, and fried oysters. The fried stuff wasn't worth it. The service was good. Worth a try, but I wouldn't go again.

I love it here I always go with my family. I enjoy it a lot since I don't have to cook. The food is delicious the only thing is the wait but it's worth it. 😀😀😀

Good food waitress was short and kinda off everyone that came was helpful and took time to figure out what was needed. This place is like a sweat shop it was hot coming and going no circulation. Food was good overall the one on Valley Bl, Alhambra,CA.

Long wait, even if you go like at 3pm. Try to go on a weekday to avoid wait. Fresh seafood with cajun seasoning is what to die for! Sweet potato fries are great too! King crab legs are a little expensive. You can to-go your leftover marinate and buy king crave legs from Costco, make it your own!

I used to love boiling crab, but we were extremely disappointed with our last visit. The secret is in the sauce, unfortunately greedy corporations tend to use the bait and switch technique too often. The sauce is now watered-down, and is not what it used to be. I hope they realize their mistake, until then I'll just work on my own sauce.

Food at Boiling crab is pretty unique, especially around the 626 area code. Boiling crab type establishments don't saturate the area as much as Chinese food does. Overall it's nice to have once in a while, but it gets pricey!

Super good. Super packed. Always order ahead and get it to-go! Parking is horrible so park down the street and walk it.

Great seafood here. I usually get shrimp, mild, the whole shebang along with some Cajun fries. Service is usually very good, and the prices aren't half bad.

OMG, excellent super long wait and my butt is on fire....I've already returned to bathroom 5 times due to spicy. I'll be back.

Absolute garbage compared to the Boiling Crab on West Main Street. Crawfish were way overcooked, they were also slimy and the sauce tasted lackluster as well. Service was also pretty slow. The one on Main St is 10x better.

I love this place...can't get enough of their shrimp, crab, and mussels, especially with Cajun seasoning. I hate the wait sometimes, but the food more than makes up for it. Yes, the staff can be a little short, but they're trying to cram all of us into a small location and get us food quickly.

Great place to eat, loved the food. Wish they had home brewed but other then that, me and the wifey loved it glad I stuck to the shrimp thanx to @Jason lum. Great tips

The food is very delicious. Lots of seafood to choose from. The decor is great. People can write on the walls and leave there history there. The service is great. So great that you will be waiting for a table for awhile.

Came here while waiting for Freemans. The ice cream has a creamier texture. And the flavors are more unique. I was going to give it 2 stars but my wife enjoyed her red ice cream, so one more star.

I like the main St one better but can't go wrong with boiling crab. Pro tip is to get take out if you can handle the mess at home. Plus you can have your own beer.
Victor Revilla
Excellent service and sometimes better than going to the other boiling crab locations. No seating so... To go only.
Jonathan Lozano
The shrimp is oh so good. I pretty much never get anything than some bags of shrimp, Cajun fries, and the corn. Yummm. Word of caution... you'll be burping shrimp flavor all day and smelling garlic on your hands all day.

The original boiling crab in my mind, I loveeee their lounge/waiting area. Its not pushed out into the sidewalk, its actually a large square area with a TV where you can chill out. The inside is pretty spacious. Come knowing what you want for a great experience. Most people get the pound of shrimp with Shebang sauce, Catfish fried, with fries!

Food was good, though a bit pricey. Table service was good but hostess service was lacking. We arrived on time for our reservation and were told it would be a few minutes. Others seemed to walk in and immediately be seated. After about 5 minutes, I received a text saying please return to the hostess stand (which we were standing 5 feet in front of) and we were then told our table was being set. Five minutes later we shown to our seats.

This place serves mediocre crabs. Way too overpriced. It took 1 hour for my party to get seated. I would not come back.

Best Cajun french fries in Los Angeles County. Along with some Shrimp " The Whole Sha-bam. Nam Nam Nam... Shrimp time.

Really good but just the wait is too long. Usually I just put my name down and go somewhere else to get a drink and then come back an hour or so later. Another way to avoid the wait is to just buy it to-go. I find that if you come at 9pm or later, the wait is quite short. I recommend shrimp, mild, whole-shabang, with corn in the bag.
