Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Boiling Crab in South Coast located, and is there parking nearby?
The Boiling Crab South Coast is located at 1500 W MacArthur Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92704, putting our signature Cajun seafood boil within easy reach of South Coast Plaza and John Wayne / Orange County Airport. We are situated just a few blocks north of the 405 freeway. On-site parking is available within our shared commercial plaza; however, because this is a highly popular dining spot, spaces can fill up quickly during peak dinner hours and weekend rushes. We recommend giving yourself a few extra minutes to secure a spot!
How do I order seafood takeout or delivery, and can I make a reservation at the South Coast location?
We do not accept reservations, however, guests can join our Yelp waitlist. Otherwise, seating at our South Coast location is on a first-come, first-served basis. Wait times can get long during weekends and peak dinner hours, and your entire party must be physically be present to be seated. If you prefer to enjoy your seafood feast at home, you can easily place a takeout order in person or by phone for quick pickup. Third-party delivery apps (such as UberEats, Postmates, DoorDash, and Grubhub) may also service our location depending on your exact distance from MacArthur Blvd.
What is the signature “The Whole Sha-Bang!®” sauce, and can I choose my spice level?
Our signature The Whole Sha-Bang!® sauce is our most popular choice, combining our original Rajun Cajun seasoning, savory Garlic Sauce, and zesty Lemon Pepper into one ultimate flavor explosion. Ordering your boil is a simple three-step process: choose your catch (Dungeness crab, king crab legs, snow crab legs, shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, or crawfish), choose your flavor, and pick your heat! Guests can completely customize the heat intensity across various distinct levels, ranging from completely Non-Spicy/Mild up to our fiery “I can’t feel my mouth!” option.
What are the hours of operation for the South Coast seafood restaurant?
Our South Coast location is open Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
What options do you have for guests who don’t eat seafood or have food allergies?
While we are famous for our backyard-style seafood boils, we have great alternatives for non-seafood lovers. Our menu features basket favorites like crispy Chicken Tenders and Cajun or Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings. You can also load up on hearty sides like Cajun Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Corn on the Cob, Potatoes, and Louisiana Smoked Sausage. Because we are a hands-on seafood restaurant, shellfish cross-contamination is a reality in our kitchen and dining areas. Please alert your server to any severe allergies before ordering.
