The Boiling Crab - Melbourne CBD

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

We enjoyed the medium spice bag of seafood 🦞. My son needed to try this from tiktok. It was pretty cool. Service was super fast.

Great tasting food! Good value for money. Will come back for more.

Great Food, Great service. Highly recommended for group of friends.

Was okay nothing special the food is ok but its expensive for small servings

We absolutely loved all of the fried options which were chicken, scallops & soft shell crab which are all a must try. We also had shrimp & baby octopus with the whole shabang sauce. So worth it and staff are so accommodating and friendly. Will be going again soon!!

Sides and drinks ordered from the beginning were forgotten to be delivered to the table so ended up waiting for those. Food was coming out at different times and was cold by the time everyone's meal had arrived. Was disappointing considering the meal cost $550 and we were looking forward to it the whole trip from Darwin. Servings were not as big as we thought either so be careful when ordering.

The service and food was great. They were very quick with serving food too and tasted fresh

Different experience in dining, but loved it. Food was good and the service.

Food was great , we really enjoyed the food !

Best food I've ever had without a doubt. If I lived here I'd have it every week. Service was amazing too!!

Great atmosphere, great food, friendly staff. A unique experience, must try.

Happy place to share a meal with friends and family

Had a great experience 😍😍 must try when you are in Melbourne

If comparing it to their competitor, I just find the sauce to be a little dry.

Great food and good experience by our family, would recommend to others and go again!

Nice place, good and fresh food, friendly and attentive staff

Great value and fast service. Friendly staff and good flavours.

Great service, great food and great beer. Definitely one to visit.

We had a great time celebrating our anniversary, great food, great service, great prices.

excellent service, staff were very friendly and approachable. Seafoods are cooked perfect.

A very good and very messy seafood experience. An experience and flavour you have to try

The food was fantastic and service was so quick we will definitely return and recommend to friends
