11 St. Louis crab boil restaurants we love - Sauce Magazine

St. Louis may be land-locked, but that doesn’t mean you have to hop in a plane to indulge in a boiled crab feast. There are many locally owned options for low country- and Cajun-style boils, as well as a number of spots offering fresh takes on the traditional boil using flavors drawn from global cuisines. Here’s a list of places to try the next time the yen to crack claws hits. 

Cluster Busters
Cluster Busters offers three boiled crab leg platters; all come with snow crab clusters, red potatoes, smoked sausage and six boiled shrimp as a little boiled seafood bonus.
5003 Gravois Ave., St. Louis, 314.449.1544; 4320 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, St. Louis, 314.387.9111, Facebook: Cluster Busters

Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill
As the name suggests, this restaurant specializes in all things seafood. Crab legs – both king and snow – are on offer; options include platters served with your choice of two sides or a combo designed for two people featuring a pound of snow crab legs, half-pound of shrimp with your choice of preparation (fried, grilled, blackened or sauteed), four sides, two corn muffins and your choice of dessert.

Crab’s Landing
This recent addition to downtown’s restaurant scene offers snow crab legs by the half-pound or pound as well as in combos, tossed in your choice of Cajun or “juicy special” seasoning or garlic or plain butter, and served with corn and potatoes. A Dungeness crab combo is also available, served with a half-pound of boiled shrimp.
701 N. Tucker Blvd., St. Louis, 314.833.3280, crabslanding.com

Tiny Chef
Though the Tiny Chef’s Korean crab boil is a semi-regular special rather than a standard menu option, any local crab boil list would be remiss to omit this creative take. Chef Melanie Meyer, aka the Tiny Chef, tosses snow crab legs and sauteed shrimp in a custom spice blend and serves it alongside sauteed Shanghai bok choy, sliced, hard-boiled eggs, roasted small potatoes and Korean cheesy corn. Meyer does the boils about once every month and announces the boil’s availability through Tiny Chef’s Facebook and Instagram pages one to two weeks ahead of time. It usually sells out quickly, so set an alert to remind you when ordering opens to avoid missing out.

Peacemaker Lobster & Crab Co.
Peacemaker’s king crab legs come with drawn butter for dunking, along with potatoes, corn on the cob, andouille sausage and a buttermilk biscuit.

King, Dungeness and blue crabs are all available by the pound or as part of combos, as are clusters of snow crab legs.
