Rockin Crab Seafood Boil & Takeout (Tropicana) — Restaurant in Summerlin South

If you’re looking to get some seafood boil in the South West part of Las Vegas then this is your place. I’ve seen this place driving by and realized this is the closest Seafood boil to my house so I decided to try it. And to my surprise, they had some really good seafood boil.

We had 4 people, and went with the Combo 3, an additional 1 lb of crawfish and 4 rices. Personally, I felt like it was an adequate enough to leave fulfilled but I for sure think an additional 1 or 2 lbs would be just the right amount.

Flavor wise we got medium and then got fire on the side. The medium is a good standard but the fire is what really brought all the flavors together. There was some type of sweetness in it, but for my tolerance, it wasn’t completely spicy which is fine.

The service is pretty simple since you order at the counter and sit wherever you like. They’ll bring the food to you and can also assist you with any additional needs you may require. The decor is simple with a partial wharf feeling. We were the only people in the place so it was pretty quiet so I don’t know how it would be when it’s busy.

Overall, I really like this place and as far as recommendations, I’d say come here based on their weekly special. They also have lunch specials and do to-go orders which I noticed a lot of people were doing while we were there. They don’t serve beer, but they do serve macaroons which can be really great after a...

I went to this establishment with another, about a week ago on a Wednesday. I wished I went by on a Monday, that's when they have a special deal with their combo item. We also received bibs and gloves since we were dining in. We ordered two Rockin' Combos - each combo comes with half pound of crab legs, half pound of shrimp, half pound of mussels, and a hard boiled egg, a corn cob, a potato, and a sausage. I got the mild version which has no spice at all, and that was very delicious. The Medium has a kick! I also got the spicy noodles and man ... they were spicy. If you're sensitive to spicy, go with the mild. I cannot do spicy at all.

Food came out hot and fresh, and the flavors were unique and delicious, and touched on umami and aromas. The food was lighter on the sodium too versus other boil spots I've been to. I have a sodium sensitivity, so am always on the lookout for this. Hours after we ate, food was not sitting heavy in our stomachs either.

The interior of the restaurant was clean and well kept, employees had great customer engagement. Food came out moderately fast. I liked how there is a sink towards the back so that guests can wash their hands without having to go to the restroom, and a water station too for...

I am completely perplexed at how an establishment is able to mess up something as delicious as a seafood boil. Ordered the “Rockin Combo” and literally EVERYTHING in it flopped. First off, our crab was missing a leg and the legs that were still attached were small as hell and barely had any meat! Secondly, the flavor is just not there at all. Ordered the garlic butter seasoning with the medium sauce on the side, and honestly I don’t even know how to describe the taste of the sauce because there literally wasn’t any taste to describe! 😭 Not to mention the order was already pushing like $70 delivered for just one combo and a drink. In this economy you cannot be charging some absurd amount just for the meal to be mid!!! The shrimp had veins still in it, the sauce was clumpy & had no spice at all, and worst of all they use russet potatoes or some sort of adjacent potatoes instead of red potatoes!!! How does one manage to mess up potatoes?? Absolute disgrace of an establishment, I’m almost convinced this is some coverup that’s disguised as a seafood boil restaurant (for legal reasons I am joking). The baseline is the food served here was comedically bad and...
