Had a fantastic time at The Boiling Crab! The garlic shrimp was bursting with flavor, and their king crab is a must-try. Service was prompt and friendly, making our visit delightful. Perfect for seafood lovers and families alike... can't wait to go back!

I recently dined at The Boiling Crab in Mira Mesa, and it was a delightful experience! 🦀 The ambiance was casual yet trendy, perfect for families or a group of friends. I ordered the king crab by the pound, and it was bursting with flavor.

The staff was incredibly helpful in explaining how to crack the shells, which made the meal even more enjoyable! The gumbo was hearty, filled with shrimp and sausage - definitely a taste of home. While the Cajun sauce was a bit intense for me, the garlic shrimp stole the show.

Great service and fresh seafood... I can't wait to go back for more! 🍤✨
