Delicious snow crab legs! Highly recommend

### oliviaeide — 5.0/5 · Nov 18, 2024
The boiling crab is absolutely delightful!! You can choose which seafood to add to your boil as well as the spices, and if you would like to add butter, corn, eggs, etc. The king crab, snow crab and shrimps were incredible. A seafood lover’s dream

Perfectly seasoned. There’s a reason why they always have a long wait

Best place to spend time with the family— boiling crab! You’ll have to work for your meal, which makes chatting around the table fun. I recommend sharing to bring the cost down

My favorite seafood boil place in SD! Their Shabang sauce has so much flavor 😋

### roberthotwheels — 4.3/5 · Jun 12, 2025
I ordered the shrimp with medium-level sauce, and it was really good—flavorful, spicy enough without being overwhelming, and cooked perfectly. As expected, the place was busy, but the atmosphere was lively and the service kept up well. Overall, a satisfying visit and worth the wait if you’re craving some solid seafood.
