AYCE seafood boil LFG!!!!!!! My partner and I have been on the hunt for good Cajun food lately and finally came across Crab Boil Things. This is a great deal if you have an appetite for seafood. We walked in on a Sunday and were seated after around 15 mins wait. Packed full...! Super casual, homey environment with great service. A tad grimey though, sticky tables lol. Good thing there's paper covers and gloves ^^; We ordered a few rounds of seafood, with garlic noodles as a side. The seafood is pretty fresh, though I wish their sauces were a bit more flavorful. The sheer quantity does make up for that though. Would def come back when the craving hits again... :P

My boyfriend and I had never been to an AYCE Seafood Boil before, but this is definitely the place to be! Tucked in at the end of a strip mall, you enter from the side to a dining room with multiple tables. Tables are wide and we came in around 5:30PM on a Saturday night, beating the dinner rush. Jessica was our waitress and she was the best! Although the restaurant started to get busy, she was very attentive and checked in with every table. She was honest, informative, friendly, and helpful. She explained the rules behind the AYCE option, reviewed our choices, and informed us we could also get half orders so we wouldn't have so much food. We ordered the AYCE with the crab legs upgrade, so about $80 a person. A tad pricey. I ordered clams, shrimp head off, sausage, corn, potatoes, snow crab legs, and a strawberry lemonade (unlimited refills). I also got the garlic butter and medium spice, which was fantastic. The combination flavors with medium spice was also really good! We got a TON of shrimp and clams, which makes sense, as they were trying to fill us up on the cheaper seafood. For our second order, we ordered less food and bumped up to spicy level. Mistake! It was very spicy and our server informed us that it was because they add habanero for that level. (Two habaneros for volcano level). However Jessica was so great she offered a solution of bringing us the broth so we could water down the spice and it worked! All the seafood was cooked, the snow crab legs were easy to eat, and HUGE PORTIONS. We definitely got our moneys worth. Presentation was excellent, they gave us all the lemon, salt and pepper, gloves, bibs, plates, utensils, we needed. They brought our bowls and our bags in a big bubble to keep the food presentable. There is a 18% gratuity, so fair warning. But the star of the show was literally Jessica. I cannot express how much of a help she was. She was so honest and informative. Give her a raise! She made sure we were informed, taken care of, and knew how best to proceed. When we come back we definitely want to be helped by her! 5 stars specifically for her!

Came here a little before dinner on my birthday and I enjoyed it! We built a combo instead of taking the AYCE option. Crayfish, mussels, clams, potatoes and more. The mussels and clams may go to the bottom of the bag but you will find all the goodness down there. The crab was meaty, the mussels were big and the sauce goes well with rice. We got our food quickly and service was amazing. I will be coming here again.

It was our first time visit & it was a great visit ! We were coming from a New Year's trip in Reno & it was on our way home & a friend had mentioned this place to try out. We literally almost went to the wrong one & our friend told us the right one to go to . Luckily it was in the same proximity so no u turn necessary! It's in a small shopping area , right in the corner. Later in the evening & not exactly a well lit area but we found it! The inside is simple & tables are lined with white paper ready to eat for a crab boil ! Literally lots to pick from at different price ranges & different cocktail options from beer , margaritas, shots for $5! Whoa! We decided we would have micheladas & garlic noodles w/crab meat & fried oysters . It all arrived fresh & hot & absolutely delicious. Please order the Hawaiian shrimp on point delicious , the micheladas were tasty & perfect too! Service was outstanding, Dom use to work at restaurant we still frequent it was nice to see him after four years . He has always been a customer oriented young man , so very attentive & hardworking. We will definitely be coming back, the staff here are all very nice & welcoming.

Gave this place another try after having a bad experience and they have really redeemed themselves! Jessica had amazing customer service, Diana could use some help, but they kept the food coming. The seafood is fresh and the noodles are delicious. I do wish there was a little less garlic in the garlic butter sauce but everything was tasty. You can't beat $5 shots and $3 beers. Multiple tvs for watching games. I would suggest dressing warm because it is always a bit chilly. All in all great pre Christmas meal and I'm glad I came.
