seafood crawfish lively good for groups casual trendy spacious spicy food good for a late night cocktails beer dinner special sauce fun atmosphere cash only good for special occasions
Karen

This restaurant is better than the one on Chrystie Street in terms of seating; it's less cramped. Recommended: if you don't care for potatoes and corn ; try two one-pound shrimp with different sauces.

Noah Weiss

Share a pound of the snow crab legs and a Mac n' cheese for a great two person dinner for $30 total. Good craft beer selection too.

Alexa Scordato

Can't go wrong with king crab and shrimp in their signature blend sauce -- spicy ! Sit on the side of the bar closest to window for full menu if there's a wait.

Ruby Anaya

The spicy isn't that spicy but it's real good - also the king crab legs have TONS Of meat. Start with the BBQ shrimp !

Tina Hilll

Love messy yummy seafood ? then this is the spot for you. Great 4 groups w/it's fun atmosphere . Get your bib and gloves on and dig in!! Will def be back with more friends.

Jason Schulweis

Go if you're prepared to get down and dirty with your food (think bib and rubber gloves). Definitely some standouts (shrimp and catfish specifically). Good crawfish if you want to put in the work!

David D.

Everything is delicious! The portions are huge, so be careful not to over order. Also, it's cash only .

mary nah

Go there !!! We ordered shrimps and clams in a butter garlic sauce . Both were really tasty and fresh but especially the clams - and its easier to eat ;)

Jinni

You can't go wrong with the Cajun sauce blend and the shrimp are plump and juicy ????????

Datrianna Meeks

Crab legs and shrimp with The Boil's special sauce are great! Currently cash only , which is a hassle, but that should be changing soon.

Crystal Chi

The food and the experience are surely worth the wait! Love both the crawfish and the king crab legs !

Joe Porritt

For first timers, I recommend 1 lb of shrimp and 1 lb crawfish .

QUEEN

Super fun! What's not to love about a sack of seafood smothered in butter??

David Zhang

Skip the crawfish but go for the crab boil or lobster roll

Darrell

Drinks on point. Had the fried wings and corn . Tasty with food portions....

Lulu Bousamra

Seafood cocktails beer lobster crab seasoning

Aor Parnkae

So yum! But bring cash!

Viv

The shrimp in Cajun sauce????

Shannon

NOTHING IS GLUTEN FREE . Don't go if you are allergic, apparently everything is cooked in a pot with spices. How the fuck don't you have fresh plain shellfish at a seafood restaurant ?

Marlee Germain

Food good. Price alright. Cash only . Great for groups . Seafood was salty last time though

WEI WEI
