Surfing Crab

If you are a sucker for Seafood boil cuisine and you haven't dine in Surging Crab yet . I'll tell you , your missing out on something huge!This place is undoubtedly one of the best places in town to savour Seafood boil.Visited this place on a weekday evening and it was already getting busy.The place serves just good food and some cocktails to get along! Full Bar!

Food was 4/5 calamari was a lil rubbery, my crab was stringy but the sauce was the star of the meal. I got the #2 choice 3 addt (shrimp, calamari) surfin special seasoning (every seasoning mixed) Spicy. Me and my friend finished almost everything but got full the corn, potatoes, sausage were amazing maybe double up if you're xtra hungry. Hush puppies were also good tooService was quick food came out quick too!! I like how there's random signatures of the people who have visited the store pretty chill vibe too good atmosphere.

Outstanding prices and food. Had low expectations but pleasantly surprised. The service was top notch. I believe this is one of the best boil places in the SATX area.

Ordered delivery, everything was packaged super well so that nothing spilled and the food was still hot! The Lobster tail and snow crab was great, I ordered extra corn because i didn't realize they already came with some corn and potato so i'll keep that in mind for next time. I got the medium spice old bay + garlic butter which was great, hardly spicy at all but great flavors, I think i'll go up one spice level next time. Also tried out the fried oysters, they were good, but probably won't order again, just wanted to give them a try. French fries are great. The whole meal came with two sides of extra butter and two sides of tartar sauce.

After reading a lot of mixed reviews on seafood joints around the city, I figured I'd roll the dice by simply choosing the one closest to me. I've decided that was a great way to go about things! I was dying for crawfish and aware they are not in season, I didn't expect them to wow me (which, they didn't) so I was sure to order some other items to make my decision on. First and foremost, the variety of flavors and spice levels are great! I got fire on my items and honestly could have used more heat but I am not a good judge of that, as if I am not crying from pain it's not hot enough. Would likely suffice for others. The sausage and potatoes had great flavor! I tried adding eggs for the first time and personally I don't enjoy them being so cooked, but again the flavor was definitely there. Lastly, the snow crab legs were fantastic! I am not usually a fan, but they were cooked perfectly. Not rubbery or overdone and were deliciously juicy. I also tried the wings just to see how they were and while they weren't amazing, they were fine enough to curb the appetite of anyone you're dining with who doesn't want seafood. Overall, the flavors were a hit and the customer service from the staff who assisted with bringing out my curbside order was super nice! Will definitely try them out again next time I'm itching for a boil.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this restaurant. I opted to dine in for a casual evening. There was open seating at the bar which me and my party opted for. We initially ordered to go but decided to eat in instead. The drinks were relatively cheap, with $5 drink specials Friday evening. I ordered a shrimp boil with addition of corn and was surprised this also included potatoes, as well as a side of fries. For my sauce I ordered the Surfing Special (a mix of all the flavors) Spicy. All was well seasoned. I liked that it was not overwhelmingly spicy but had a good balance. I would try the next heat level out of curiosity. My partner ordered the steak fried rice and a side of diced sausage and enjoyed their meal. We will def dine here again. They stayed busy throughout our meal so I would book a reservation if you can!

I'm usually not the type to enjoy in seafood boils, but if they were all as good as Surfing Crab, I think I'd indulge more often. I really enjoyed how fresh my seafood was, the seasoning, and the hearty portions for each item ordered.The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but they've done a good job with the layout, the cleanliness, and even the semi-cheesy decor (#1). It's a place that is casual enough for a messy date night, group dining affair and extremely family friendlyThe spread of everything from clams to shrimp to crawfish and calamari is impressive. My favorite item would have to be the snow crabs and each leg was filled with copious amounts of meat. Even the crawfish was on point, even if it's not in season. Their non-boil items, such as the shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, and oysters were also surprisingly good. I think if I'm to go back, I'll be ordering everything from their clams to even the spicy edamame.Service has their moments and I think the prices are about average for a place like this. Seafood isn't going to be cheap, but I wouldn't hesitate about coming back here to feast and preferably in a large group of hungry companions.____________(#1) Giant crab and Captain Jack Sparrow? Yes.

This location is definitely a hit or miss. Today my food was overcooked and the service was terrible. Our waitress hardly ever came to our table. We were at the restaurant for nearly 3 hours because of how long it took to order, how long it took to get the food, and then we waited forever for the check. I told our waitress about how a lot of the crawfish was bad when we got the check and her response was "well do you want to talk to the manager?" And she was snippy when she said it. After being at the restaurant for that long I decided i just wanted to go so we paid and left.

It ain't cheap! But it hits the spot.We had a taste for some good seafood and they delivered. Came midday, around lunch time. Sat at the bar and ate there. Our bartender was super nice. Answered all my questions and clarified what was needed to get my order just right. She also pretty attentive and made sure to check on us throughout our time there. I got a seafood bag and only regret was not getting a bigger spice level cuz I could've gone a level up and had a better flavor on it. Still a good meal and I'll definitely be back soon!

The service was great and the food was tasty. This was our first time trying Surfing Crab but it won't be our last. We went on Valentine's Day weekend so they were busy but it was worth the wait. As far as the ambiance, it was alright. Music was good but if you're looking for high end place; this is not it. This is your hang out with your buddies or family type of restaurant. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend Surfing Crab.
