tried this place a few years back in garden grove OC california. they had two locations in the same shopping center - a sit-in restaurant and a to-go. even though my taste buds were kinda shot from having a cold, i was instantly hooked.
i visited this location last september with my husband, child and a couple of friends who at the time just moved here. we had to wait, but not very long.. less than half hr.
restaurant was pretty clean. server was nice and friendly.
i ordered myself what i now consider my usual, which is a pound of shrimp seasoned with the whole shabang. so fricken delicious! i got chicken strips and fries for my little one. i forgot what my friends and hubby ordered. everyone left happy.
the only thing i hate about the whole idea is having to peel the shrimp and getting dirty. i always think long about it before suggesting we go there 'cause it's pretty hard with a toddler who wants to run around while it's time to eat and chasing him with dirty hands. i love the boiling crab. it's so worth it.
