The Boil

Well I’m back with the reviews! I know I find my favorite seafood restaurant every month but this one is great I think is safe to safe is becoming my actual favorite!! The food portions are great , their garlic butter is my favorite!! Their oyster are big and fresh and are included in their happy hour menu. I would love to add a video , but I recommend it!

Was going to NYC for a show with friends this past Friday evening and were planning dinner beforehand. I previously visited The Boil on Waverly Ave lower Manhattan about a year ago and thought it was a great meetup spot to eat. Now being my 2nd visit I was surprised both times I found car parking on the street very close and free after 7pm. Entering the premises we were greeted very nicely and than verified our vaccinations. Our table was ready and we were seated right away and the server gave menus and took cocktail orders. The Boil had a fresh atmosphere as you were sitting outdoors along the waters edge down on the South Gulf Coast. The premise had nice lighting with high ceilings and very clean surroundings. We ordered our appetizers and fresh seafood boil entrees which came with various sauces; The Boil special sauce style which consists of combination of all, lemon pepper, Cajun and spice or butter garlic.The selection of appetizers we devoured were delicious crispy chicken wings, raw oyster’s, catfish basket and crab cake sliders. After stuffing our faces we were served our boil bags of crab claws, lobster, largest head-on shrimp, clams with your personal selected sauce of choice. I felt like I was already at the evenings show with a well done performance by the servers, food was magnificent and in all it was a very happy ending. Bravo to The Boil and staff and looking forward to returning soon! Thank you, I highly recommend this establishment for a real down to earth casual seafood restaurant .

True true true quality seafood!! Excellent bar as well. Make sure to add the noodles to your bag of goodness! Let it soak the sauce up. Ate faster than. I could snap pics! Excellent outdoor seating. Well worth the visit and money! Attentive staff made everything seamless~

This is just a really fun and casual spot for flavorful southern style seafood! Prepare to get messy - though they do provide bibs and gloves. You’ll be digging into plastic bags of shrimp crawfish and crab slathered in sauce. A little work - but very rewarding as the seafood is very tasty and fresh. They also have some great appetizers - the catfish sliders in particular were awesome. A couple words of warning - this might not be the best first date place. The sauces though good are SERIOUSLY garlicky. And second - they only take cash.

Literally been here so many times now and every time it’s been amazing. We always order the queen combo with the boil special sauce and the garlic breads as a side and they are insanely good. Recently tried the papaya mango and it was so tasty as well! Also the server we had last time was so nice:

Awesome restaurant, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was great, and the drinks were amazing. We made it to happy hour, buy one drink, get the other free. They only accept cash, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I went on a Monday so it was not busy, very calm and nice. And trust me, the spicy option is definitely spicy. I would go there again.

Food and drinks were amazing! Staff was really helpful and understanding that we were late for our reservation time. If you come here be sure not to wear white or anything you don't want to get dirty. It's messy but oh so worth it!

Great service and food! Didn’t know what to order as it was my first time but the staff was super helpful and let me try a few things first! The crawfish and shrimp were so juicy, a taste sensation to be honest! Will be back for sure!

I think I found my next best shrimp place. Their house sauce has the right blend of sweetness, garlic and spicy kick that I ate all that 1 lb of shrimp! This cocolada drink was fruity and perfectly refreshing on a summer night out. Highly recommend!

Very fun and deliciously flavored food! Snow crab and crawfish boil was incredible; catfish basket and fries were seasoned great but not crispy at all
