"She told me, "Don't worry about it" She told me, "Don't worry no more" We both knew we can't go without it She told me you'll never be in love oh oh oooh I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it" Seriously. Regardless the wait and the drive, when we know we are having BC we are happy from the time we decide to go to BC until we get home from BC. I was introduced to BC almost a decade ago. This place have even became a part of our family's tradition for the cousins and I, also my sisters and mom whenever my older sis is visiting from CT. There are quite a few BC but this and the one on Euclid is my fav! I come to this one when I come with a party of 5+ & the one on Euclid when we have 4 and under. With myself and 2 kids now this have been my main location lately as it is bigger than the one on Euclid. This BC is located in a shopping center off Brookhurst across from Target. Being in a shopping center with a few other resturants, YL, Boba place and a market so parking can be a bit of a battle but I was always able to find parking within 5 minutes. The wait for the resturant can be a minimum 45 minutes to an hour at times. After your long wait, your ENTIRE PARTY must be present, and the host will do a count, before being seated. Once seated you are sat at a table with a paper cover (also your plate) and a roll of paper towel. The decor kinda reminds me the pier with the wooden bench, seatings, fish net decor and tagging on the walls. The place is ALWAYS packed and and you can see servers moving non stop. There is a big screen TV that plays whatever sport that is in season. Being packed the place can be pretty loud. This is one of the few places where I can actually tell people how many pounds of food I ate. They serve lobster, dungeness crabs, king crab, crawfish, shrimp and clams per pound. After picking the seafood and how many pounds you pick the flavor. The choice of flavor is cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter or mix it all together and you get "the whole shebang". The whole she bang is the most popular way to go. Next you choose your spice level mild, medium, spicy or XXX. You can also opt to throw some corn or sausages in the mix as well. I usually go with the whole shebang XXX. Then you get your order in a bag full of sauce which we like to dip the meat in once we remove the shells. (^_^). YUMMMY! My favorite to order is LOBSTER or SHRIMP with half a pound of crawfish. I like the lobster and shrimp because it's more meaty and less work to get out of the shell. Oinky status! The CRAWFISH is delicious and is a tiny a little bit more work for a little bit of meat. But crawfish is yummy so we still get 1/2 a pound. (^_^) CLAMS were salty the few times I've ordered and there were lots of empty shells to pick out =( DUNGENESS & KING CRABS are delicious but takes a lot of work to remove the shell and when we're at BC we just wanna grub ASAP. So I would sometimes get it if my mom comes, she's a pro at removing the shells for me. LoL. #mommasgirl My babies usually gets the fried shrimp with cajun fries and a side of rice & buttered corn. YUM! -They also serve FRIED OYSTERS, MY FAVORITE!!! I always order this. -Raw oysters with their XO sauce is refreshing. -Fried fish is good but I wouldn't waste my tummy on that when there's so many other goodies. -Cajun sweet potatoes fries, Yummy! Again you can choose the spice level -Gumbo is yummmy! Although others have tried to imitate their sauce none have succeeded. Although other places have been able to get their spice level in point, BC have not, XXX is more like a medium for me. =/ This is truly my favorite place for our family pig out sesh. It's a place where all fingers come out to play (my baby loves that), you can get down and dirty with a great meal without worrying which fork to use or placing a napkin on your lap, although everyone in here including adults are wearing bibs ( another thing my baby finds hilarious) lol we all get to be piglets with my little ones. Not just any piglets! Happy, smiling piglets with a happy tummy too, I bet even our tummies are smiling inside after a meal here. I would definitely recommend this place! Come in your casuals, expect to get down and dirty. Be prepared to wear a bib or mess up that cute top if you opt not to. be prepared to wait, you can check out the cute gift shops next door or do some grocery shopping. And leave with a smile on your face,a happy tummy and contemplating your next visit before walking out the door. (^_^)

First I want to start off by saying that I don't particularly like any seafood at all. The crab at this place though!!! MMMM mmmm good!! I can eat a pound or more by myself!! Shabang style! I only give 3 stars though because they are only open after 3 pm and their lines are so ridiculously long, it's hard for my family and I to take that much time to go and eat there, I know you can get it to go but when you bring it home, it is truly not the same.

Never disappoints. Always a great lunch. And I say lunch because this is the best time to get in without having to wait. The wait can be crazy long around dinner and until they close. My boyfriend and I always get a pound of shrimp each and Cajun fries. I used to get rice but it's already so filling without rice. To be honest, I can only finish half of a pound and the leftovers aren't that good even when you reheat it on the stove. So buy what you can and eat it while its fresh! He and I still want to try the oysters so I'm sure we'll be back to get that sometime soon.

Their seafoods were so good. even though, we had to wait in line to be called about an hour, but it was worth it. My family and i often go to this place every month because we loveee seafoods especially lobster and crab. This place is really nice,lots of Tv, lots of tables which is really good for the party. So i would recommend this place to anyone who loves seafoods.

Went here for lunch on a Sunday. Parking lot is ridiculous since it's in a plaza with a bunch of other restaurants and shops. Put our name down and was told about 35 minutes. It ended up being close to an hour. We got seated and got our drink orders taken. We then ordered fries to start off with while we decide what to order. I don't know why we even take our time when we order the same thing each time anyway. Salt and limes came. Our drinks came. Our food came. And we were peeling and cracking away. I did notice some folks would buy the French baguette from a local shop while they're waiting and then bring it in and eat it with their food. I guess it's BYOBread.

I go here with the kid a lot. Honestly, the prices are good and the food is fantastic. We like everything hot so we her spicy flavoring and "the whole shabang". Only way to go! Kid likes crawfish- I like the chowder (with rice) and my guy always gets the fried shrimp basket.

Simply the best place you can go to for a cajun style seafood feast in orange county. Only problem is not reservations over the phone. They should have it where you can reserve and put your credit card down and if you don't show up you're charged $50 or something crazy... I know people wouldn't mind doing that! Usually waiting times are about an hour.

Impressed with food.. I just loved it more over I took my wife for the first time she loved it.. Great job guys keep it up and keep growing.

This place will always be a top crawfish place for me, only thing wrong is the long lines so I would usually order Togo, or just eat at some other restaurant. Good customer service and great broth.
(4)Krystal B.
Great place to go out with a lively crowd. Shrimp, crawfish, etc and staff was on point. Our server bobby was very accommodating with our group checks. Overall good experience.
(5)Crystal T.
Even with the lengthy wait times, this place never disappoints. I have introduced many people to this awesome food & eating style, and will continue to do so!

Love this place! It's a great place to come and hang out with friends, if you don't mind getting a little messy. I recommend "the whole sha-bang!" flavor for everything. If you're on a college budget (like I am, lol) I suggest the shrimp and the sweet potato fries are a must! Service here is usually pretty good and atmosphere is a little noisy. Only issue that I have is the wait. If the Brookhurst restaurant is busy, the wait can easily be over an hour. If that happens, I suggest going to their Euclid address, which is only a couple miles away.

I enjoy boiling crab, I enjoy the service & the delicious food. This location is surprising a shorter wait time than koreatown & Alhambra location.
(4)Leslie B.
Everything was great, food and the ambiance are terrific. I am not a fish eater so I had the sausage and chicken strips and they were delicious, I highly recommend this place.
(4)Gen L.
I love BC. This is one of the better locations in my opinion do to service and time. Food is always great. It's super tiny but they make it work.
(4)Trent S.
Great shrimp, fast service. Never a bad time here. Sometimes the wait is long but definitely worth the wait.
(5)Angela M.
Nothing will ever top my love for Boiling Crab because of their amazing "the whole shabang" sauce they use for the shrimp & because their cajun fries are YUMMY! BUTTTTTTT the wait is ridiculous!! No matter what day or whether or not it is a weekday or weekend, the wait will be at least an hour or more. They definitely need to change their hours because people try to come in at the same time (late lunch/dinner). Right when they open they already have a long line of people trying to eat there.
