The Boiling Crab - Melbourne CBD

Fast service great food vale for money for a seafood feast

The dish is fine, nothing special. Food too spicy for a mild option.

once in a life time exspirence. will be going back

My guests were all first timers here. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the experience. Staff were all pleasantly attentive. We will come back for sure.

We came in and paid $300 for two bars and three drinks. Some of the seafood wasn’t good at all , some prawns we had to physically spit out because it tasted off

First time at Boiling Crab. Great flavours and and great experience.

Definitely would go again. Delicious seafood, spicy and hearty. Good for sharing with a group.

I like the overall service it was pretty good but very busy pricey

Great service, didn’t have to wait long for the food at all.

food was good, good atmosphere and good experience, bit pricey

A bit over priced but happy we got to experience it. It was on my son’s bucket list for our trip to Melbourne.

Not tasty, have to order extra sauce. Expensive. Not friendly

Food was stone cold, drinks were 99% ice 1% drink. 1/10 do not recommend

Good fun messy experience. Tasty seafood. Be sure to not wear white or cream!

My first time experience with the place and varieties of seafood.Food was good .And it would be great the diners get any appropriate tool to break crab or lobster.Almost broke my sensitive tooth haha. I love sustainable and messy eating idea plus order with QR code was innovative.

Overall experience was ok, but took some time to serve the food. Too pricey in my opinion.

I love the place and I had the best birthday lunch ever.. will definitely be back for more ❤️

A unique experience but falls a bit short on quality. We found the source to be too salty and a large amount of garlic pieces as well mixed in with seafood, so much so they could be mistaken for pieces of seafood. The experience of eating off the table wearing bibs and gloves was unique and a sharing experience for the family

An odd experience fuelled by TicToc fever. Expensive for seafood that is drowned in sauce. Drinks overloaded with ice. It was ok but I won't be back. If you like to dine with TicToc trash who wear their tracksuits to dinner, then go for it.

Fantastic . Great experience. Good staff friendly. Service was quick

THE BEST MONEY IVE EVER SPENT THE FOOD WAS BLOODY AMAZING, THE SERVICE WAS EVEN BETTER AND EVERYTHING WAS TOP NOTCH

Cant wait yo go there again had so much fun

It was lots of fun! Service was great! Food very yummy

It was an awesome seafood experience!highly recommend to dine in!

Great experience and loved it. Would love to go there again

Good food, the amount could be better, good in general,

Eating with those black gloves was horrible they smell like chemicals.. cajun was so strong in our bangin combo it was sickly..too much shell and not much meat.. pricy $79 for not much edible food.. we went to kfc after we left as we were left hungry and broke😕

I asked for table water a few times and it never came. We ordered desert and the waffle was burnt. They table was not cleared to eat our dessert so not happy with that.

Too basic and overpriced. One mud crab. Crappy crackers. No pickers for the meat. Asked for sparkling water twice before two small bottles- no were plonked on the table. No glasses. $130.00 REALLY?

Delicious. Quick and easy. Great Seafood boil experience. Can’t wait to come back. ❤️

Amazing food, amazing service, and so well priced! We will be coming here again :)

We were seated early and our order was promptly taken by an attentive friendly waitress. The staff at the front were welcoming and also friendly. Food was delicious, right portions for the combo we ordered, spice had a pleasant peak of kick and flavour (mild). Felt like I was having a spice experience on my level, not just flavouring. The margaritas had the right amount of tartness without the overkill of sweet syrup. Overall delightful and delicious experience. Will come again.

Food was small portions and not so tasty can’t back

It was good food but a bit spicy for my food even though I ordered plain and not spicy

The boiling crab was a great place and has some of the best food and service definitely recommended!!

Food was amazing will definitely go back. This is a must if you like seafood.

First time there was really nice experience fast service lovely people

This was our first time here, and it was wonderful! We have nothing like this back home in Tasmania, and my husband ate so much! 😅

The food was amazing, service was prompt, overall vibe was great!

Amazing food and service was also good. Was definitely an experience. Thanks again

Seated at a booth with a table covered with butcher paper, the premise is simple. Choose your offering of seafood, sides, flavour and spice, and watch as it is poured over the table for maximum hands on consumption. This night was the snow crab set for two - prawns, crawfish, baby octopi, mussels and a set of snow crab legs, original Cajun flavouring, spice to taste. Reasonably flavoursome and a whole lot of messy, the experience was decent, though a bit pricey for what you get. Staff were friendly.

The food is always full of flavour. We had a combo pack and it was fantastic.

Staff were friendly, exceptional service and it was fast for food to come out

Prices are too expensive for what you get. I don’t think I would go back again

The seafood is fresh, and sauce super yummy. Service wise is a very satisfactory.

Reasonably priced, reasonably tasty seafood. If you’re after a USA-style seafood diner experience, this does a good job of it.

Friendly atmosphere and great food. Eating crabs and lobsters by hands is a wonderful experience, also was good to my 12 year old son who is a very pecky eater, he enjoyed it a lot.

The service was super quick & friendly. And the food was amazing.

Good greeting when we arrived food was yum, flavours were all there. Our waitress was nice, value for money portion size was good.

Awesome experience!! Good food!! Will come next time!!! Very delicious
