The Boiling Crab is a casual, family-friendly restaurant specializing in Louisiana-style Cajun seafood. We currently have locations in Northern & Southern California, Las Vegas, Dallas, Miami, DC and Boston, and we're rapidly growing both domestically and internationally.
It all began in a little Southeastern Texas town called Seadrift. With a population of just 2000, Seadrift was home to Yo'Daddy and his family of crabbers and fishermen. They labored in their boats year-round, catching oysters, crab, and shrimp for the seafood industry. As toiling as the work was, every weekend the men would come home with their catch of the week to enjoy – they boiled crawfish and crabs, shucked raw oysters, grilled fresh fish – always with a beer in hand.
In 1995, Yo’Daddy met the catch of his life: Yo’Mama. With their flair for having a good time, warm hospitality, and passion for excellent seafood, Yo'Daddy and Yo'Mama opened the first Boiling Crab in 2004. Now, with 30+ bustling Boiling Crab locations, everyone can experience the full flavor of a backyard crab fest.
