The Boiling Crab

Mister decided to treat me to dinner out after work today and since we had read about a restaurant in our area called The Boiling Crab. We decided to give it a shot.  We got there around 6:30 and managed to snag two seats at the bar.  Within 15 minutes, the doorway was jammed with people trying to get in.  Fifteen minutes after that there were at least 50 people either in the doorway or standing around waiting for a table.  The staff had a list going and were telling people that it would be at least a two hour wait and NO ONE seemed to mind or leave, amazing. We had 2 pounds of crawfish and a dungeness crab --- they give you bibs and they are indeed necessary if you care at all about what you are wearing.  It's messy, but fun. 

We had a good time, but this is not a place where you pop in for a quick bite to eat.  It takes awhile to get your food and then obviously you have to do all the work to actually eat it.  It is delivered in the bags that it was boiled in, complete with the sauce over it.  The rest is up to you.  Mister actually had wrinkled fingertips by the time he was done --- definitely a place to go to again though.  Come visit and perhaps we'll take you there.
