I do think I need to carry around my own disposable bib for dining out though since I have a tendency to get sauce all over my shirt (case in point). But, good company was had even if I didn’t enjoy the food. The shrimp were just okay, not outstanding, the sausages were okay, the corn was inedible, the fries were way too spicy and the wings were just passable. I’m still kind of smiling here at the end, but I think I’m really just posing since I wasn’t super happy with our meal. Maybe she’s voted in during the 4th of July festivities in Mira Mesa? Geez, what kind of community member am I? They were a nice and crispy, but just had way too much seasoning going on there. Laura and I told thought they were too spicy and we balked that these were the mild fries. Either I’m a super wimp (possible) so they just put way too much cajun seasonings on these fries – just, way overboard if you ask me. We specifically asked if these were really spicy and our waitress told us they could make them “mild” spice so we asked for that. The ranch sauce was horrid to me – all I could taste was a weird chemical taste that just turned me off, so I ate the wings plain. The wings were a bit dry and slightly overcooked. The lemon pepper seasoning wasn’t terrible but I didn’t think it added a whole lot to it. We also ordered the wings with their lemon pepper seasoning. Still tasted really mushy and flavorless, with maybe slightly more flavor than the other set we got, but still not really enough improvement to entice me to eat it any further than one bite.

He said the corn was usually much better when it was cooked in with the sauce and he gave us another round of corn free of charge and didn’t charge us for the first two corns. I actually complained about the corn and the manager came by to ask me about it and I told him the truth. The corn was really mushy and lacked any kind of flavor – it tasted like frozen corn on the cob tossed in a weird sort-of-butter-like sauce. The sausage was fine, nothing to sing about, and the sauce wasn’t really detectable on there either. I didn’t think the shrimp soaked up the flavor of the sauce at all – they tasted like the shrimp were cooked first and then just tossed in the sauce later so not a lot of transfer of flavor. The shrimp were a bit overcooked resulting in a slight rubbery texture. Shrimp heads don’t bother me exactly, but I’m not really into eating them (though I know other people are). The shrimp are cooked with the shell and heads on. The shrimp and sausage came in one bag and we ordered the corn in a separate bag with just butter. The seasonings they have available are Rajun Cajun, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Sauce or “The Whole Sha-Bang!” which is a combination of all three. We ended up sharing 1 pound of shrimp ($10 per pound), a half pound of sausages ($8 per pound) and 2 corn on the cob ($.75 cents each). We kind of wishing for a salad or something, but I suppose that doesn’t really fit the seafood boil theme. One thing we did notice is the lack of vegetables – pretty much the only veggies they have are corn and potatoes.

Maybe they really hate doing dishes here – makes for an easy cleanup, anyway.Įverything here is sold by the pound – but you can get 1/2 pound amounts if you don’t want a full pound of something. I’m pretty sure everything in this place is disposable. No utensils for you, my friend! Here’s Laura with our bags of steamy food and disposable cups of water. They place a big sheet of paper over the table and hand you some bibs and menus.

Laura and I weren’t quite sure what to expect from this place. I’d heard kind of a mixed bag of reviews about the place, but I always believe that I have to try it for myself before I can judge.

What!Ī few weeks ago we were browsing around the farmer’s market in Mira Mesa and then decided to head over here for dinner to try it out.

My friend, Laura, and I tried to go once for lunch, only to discover they only opened for dinner. I’d been wanting to check out the Boiling Crab for awhile since it was the newest restaurant to pop up in my neighborhood.
