    This place is delicious!! But can they think about an environment solution, all the food is in a huge bag!!! So, how many orders per day with a bag are you guys doing?

    Arguably the best crab spot in Boston. The crab boil is great, crab is piping hot and the Holly sauce is amazing. Their rice balls are the real champions here.

    If you're all about taste this is the place to be. Everything is extremely tasty and portions are quite good. Very minimalistic, staff is nice, comfortable. Just ask for more napkins when you're ordering food ????

    I came on a weekday for dinner and there were plenty of seating so my party of 7 was seated immediately. The service was pretty good and the food came out at a reasonable time so it didn't take too long to wait for the food.

    The seafood that comes in bags are what they're known for so I got shrimp, snow crab legs, and clams. I tried the Holly sauce and the Sweet Holly sauce. The sweet Holly sauce was actually really good. They also give free baguette bread that you can use to dip in the sauce and it's perfect because it soaks up the juices from the sauce. It would be better if the baguettes were warmed up though. You can also get rice and have it over rice which is also good. The shrimp didn't come out of the shell smoothly, sadly, but everything else was good.

    As for some additional foods:
    - Cheesy noodles were decent but not as good as I hoped. It was kind of greasy.
    - Their wings are super crispy and very juicy. But, they were small pieces of wings so not a lot of meat in it and didn't have a lot of sauce covering it.
    - The boneless breasts were pretty good too. Like the wings, it was really crispy and the pieces were pretty thin.
    - Cajun Fries were good. A bit spicy for those not tolerant to spice.

    Overall, a great seafood boil spot that also serves nice Korean style fried chicken! It's definitely a good spot to come with friends to share food and socialize as you eat messily together. At the end of your meal, you might feel a bit greasy from all the sauce settling in but it's a good experience and tasty.

    Came back to Holly crab after a few years. I was in the area. We grab some popular items like king crab legs, crawfish, cheese noodles, clams , Korean fried chicken and soju. Everything was decent. Service was good and price is reasonable.
