"The Boiling Crab was insanely delicious! There were a lot of options for making your bag, and there were plenty of options for people like me who don't like seafood much. My bag was filled with potatoes, hard boiled eggs, and sausage links. The prices were decent, but the bill added up very quickly, though it was definitely worth it. The service was absolutely top tier. The staff was able to accommodate a large party, and worked very hard to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The staff was very polite and made wonderful suggestions. We left extremely happy, and full!"
