Customer Reviews
Ordered on a whim after seeing an ad for their pull-up scheduled in my town. The food was not cheap and I did panic a bit after reading some reviews after I had already ordered but oooooh my god am I glad I did. Everything was FANTASTIC, perfect amount of spice, the butter sauce the potatoes and corn came in was phenomenal, and the crab legs were to diiiieee for. Last meal level delicious. I’m currently very pregnant so it was truly a transcendent experience for me lol.
I read all these negative reviews and panicked because I had already ordered from the pull up in Norfolk, Va. The pull up was delayed by a day and that also caused doubt. But when I finally picked up and got home to heat up my big boss jumbo crab cake platter, I was not disappointed at all. The crab cakes were bigger than I’ve ever had from any restaurant in any city in the area. They were all crab meat, no bread, no crazy fillers, just crab meat! Nothing was overly salty, in fact everything in the platter had crab dust seasoning on top but I could tell it was not actually cooked in season, though it was still good. The corn was fresh and sweet, the potatoes were cooked just right and were good as well. The shrimp was cooked right although I did have to add some old bay for flavor since th
Brandywine location not good and highly overrated. I been a fan this past year, following them on IG and I traveled from NJ to try them. Very disappointed and not worth the trip. I had the fried whiting and shrimp and it wasn't good. The fish was fried to cardboard and had no taste at all, as well as the fries. The shrimp were good though, therefore the 2 stars. My sister did enjoy her seafood rice bit not the sausage. It seemed to be under cooked and not appealing.
A week or so ago I saw an ad they were coming up from Maryland and doing pop ups around Pittsburgh. I immediately put in an order as you can’t really get good crab around here. They showed up in an unmarked truck which was kinda sketch, but my wife and I laughed figuring it would make a funny story as long as no one got sick. Ordered the Full Combo and the Big Boss crab cake platter. From the full combo, shrimp wasn’t bad but weren’t amazing either, it was missing the sausage from the order and the king crab legs were some of the smallest I’d ever seen. Kinda overpriced for what came with that. The Big Boss crab cake meal, good lord… two crab cakes that were completely average at best. Not overly big, and kinda “meh…” flavor wise. Outside of that, of the two, both were loaded with shell pi
Crab boss had a pop up in New Castle, DE today. My family and I preordered yesterday for pickup only. In the first photo, you have one of the platters we ordered priced at $40. This included 1/2 pound of crab clusters, 1/2 pound of jumbo shrimp, corn, potatoes and eggs. I feel like you’re asking “well where’s the crab cluster”, oh it’s in there buried under the other food. They had to give me the smallest cluster in the bunch because it’s barely visible. I almost never do reviews, only when I feel like I’m cheated and the food is mediocre. I’m not a huge crab, seafood boil person but when I do, I’d like to enjoy it. I personally didn’t eat any of the food because of the spice level. I did call before placing my preorder and the woman I spoke with indicated the spice level wasn’t too spicy
