Crab Boil 59 is a hidden gem! We were looking for a restaurant to celebrate a birthday party and this place has surpassed our expectations! The manager was very accommodating and went out of her way to help us make the party a success. The owners were also wonderful for allowing us to book the place for a reasonable price. The food was fantastic and the ambiance is perfect. The place looks simple on the outside but the inside was something I wouldn’t expect. The guests and I highly recommend this place!

False advertising! I just placed a large pick up order (~$340) at CrabBoil59 and received SIGNIFICANTLY less seafood than the advertised pound portions. Crabboil59’s website clearly states “$58.99 for a full lb of king crab legs” as shown in the attached photo. Yet, my order only contained a single king crab leg weighing in at 6.8 oz which is not even close to the advertised full LB and works out to be $135/lb! Their pricing is a complete lie and if I had not gotten 4 sides my entire meal would have consisted of A SINGLE CRAB LEG. Almost $60 for a miniscule amount of meat!! This was the case for multiple bags in my order. The manager, Kristy, was unwilling to stand by their advertised pricing/portions and was quite argumentative and insistent that the online pricing does not advertise portions as half or full pounds. This is clearly contradicted as shown by the attached photo that was taken directly from CrabBoil59’s website. Very poor customer service and will not be ordering here again!

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE. I’ve never felt the need to write a negative review for any restaurant, I just pay and never go back. However, the words of the manager Christy were beyond infuriating and insulting – AND COMPLETELY FALSE.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who felt they were being ripped off!!! I also spent over $70 for 4 tiny snow crabs clusters covered in sauce as if it was a lot. The female who I believe works with her husband had an attitude when I asked about my order. I didn’t want to fuss so I told all my family not to ever go there again. We’ve been to places that didn’t look super nice on the outside or inside and paid a very good price for the amount of food we ordered. There are better crab places than this over priced placed.

We typically order from a different place but it’s not on any of the delivery apps. We thought we would try this place since it had good reviews.

Was there for the first time. First impression was the customer service by our waiter/waitress which name i will not disclose. The service was great. We were treated kindly and with respect. Menu was explained to us perfectly and drinks were on the table soon after they were ordered. He/she was on top of everything and answered every question we had in detail. The food was great. My friends and i all said we were definitely coming back and it was a party of 15 people. Until it was time to pay the tab. Prices were great but the problem was that there was a random service fee, which we all thought it was a tip for the waiter/waitress which was great he/she deserved it by all means. But then a friend asked out of curiosity “ The tip is included right?” And thats when the waiter/waitress stated “ No that service fee is for the moat part taken from the owner, JOSE. He is very greedy and takes his employees money and uses a service fee to basically steal from customers as well.” My friend then asked for his receipt to add a tip since he had paid with his card and then the waiter/waitress stated, “ He also takes 50% of our tips that are from credit/debit cards, he is very greedy”. Overall the food and service was great. But just that little information about the owner was enough for me and my 19 friends to never come to this place again.

My husband and I went to Crab Boil 59 last weekend and loved it. The decor is simple, casual, but traditional southern style Cajun which adds to the fun. The food was amazing! My husband and I had the combo with shrimp, muscles, and crab legs and an extra order of crab legs because they were just that good. The muscles were to die for. And the 59 sauce made the dinner. It’s flavorful, buttery, spicy, and a perfect compliment to the seafood, rice, corn, everything really!! We suggested they sell the sauce we loved it so much. The service was great -the owner made her way to every table to get feedback on the guest experience. While there we already started planning when we can return.

First time here on Friday the 26th during the Lenten season. I tried the fish and chips and was very surprised on how much food there was. The fish is cod and very tasty. The french fries has a coating of some kind and was very flavorful. I did get a slice of their key lime pie. The pie was good although, too rich for my liking. Definitely will be going back for the lobster roll.
