Downtown Sacramento Boiling Crab Location Opens

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - The Boiling Crab is expanding its Sacramento presence.

Monday, the seafood restaurant chain is holding a grand opening for its new downtown Sacramento location. Guests who manage to snag a spot will get a special cotton tote emblazoned with the same graphic as the restaurant's plastic bibs.

The new K Street location will complement (and hopefully shorten the lines) the Boiling Crab's older south Sacramento location along 65th Street.

Boiling Crab specializes in seafood boiled-in-bag and served by the pound. It has locations in California, Nevada and Texas.

The downtown location will be close neighbors with several other eateries, including Cafe Bernardo, KBAR, Pizza Rock and Oishii Sushi and Heartbeat Karaoke.

Doors open at the new downtown location at 3 p.m.
