Great food but cramped restaurant with long service and hidden “charges”
The food was delicious! If you’re not a crawfish fan like my family, you could switch it out for shrimp in the combo bags as well.
I just found the service taking way too long. I ordered garlic bread at some point in the middle of the meal, and it took them 30 minutes to prepare! The other thing I would advise against is dining in! Not only do they tack on a pretty hefty tip percentage, but they also calculate taxes based on the food costs + tips, which means you pay so much more just because you dine in. Other boil restaurants aren’t like this, so I’d advise going to a different place with roomier seating, faster service, and less dine-in fees.

I really enjoyed the the boil. The food was great and I think the price isn’t too bad I wish there were more options. If you mix the options it gets more expensive.
The staff are great!

I wish they gave us 2 nutcrackers instead of 1 to share. Everything else was great and the food was filling enough for me. Their catfish was great-- crispy on the outside and tender inside when it's first brought out. Don't let it cool though.

Off the hook. I love my people and my people showed up. The price is high but I’m sorry it’s worth it????

For $83 order: The fries were soft, the potato did not cook through, and the only piece of corn was overlooked. the crab cake had no crab taste. Some Shrimp was rough. It would be my first and last eating there.

Very delicious place for a seafood boil. Highly recommend the fried catfish and the shrimp (head on) with garlic sauce. Definitely on the more pricier side, but still worth it for a special occasion.

Dining in is fine, but be wary and check your food when taking your order to go. Please check your food as much as you can. We ordered 4 clusters (2 whole snow crabs), 2lbs jumbo shrimp, 2 orders of pasta, potatoes, corn, etc... Point is, it was a lot of food. The majority of the food was good, the sauce has changed over the years, but that isn't major.
The 2lbs of shrimp though was rotten. It stunk and the shrimp had these large black dots (mold-like) all over them. They packed the shrimp separately and tucked it nicely under the rest of the containers. It was late, we live uptown and found parking by skin of our teeth. We decided to let it go and not drive back down. We got cheated 38$ and wanted to help keep this from happening to anyone else.
Again, the food is good if you're dining there. If you are ordering to go CHECK THE FOOD BEFORE YOU LEAVE. 1 star because it looked deliberate. If food goes bad you throw it out. You don't sneak it into an order to go.

I was so excited to eat here with my family, and when I ordered the lady in the front told me my food will be ready in 20-25 mins. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes which was weird but I didn’t think nothing of it.
-My family and I ate when we got home and within a few hours of eating we all were sick & throwing up. I fell asleep after eating and woke up out of my sleep feeling so sick, my head started to spin as I got up I felt weak and immediately started to vomit.
-My assumption is the food was not properly prepared or was left out prior to me ordering and they decided to sell it to me anyways. I enjoyed eating from there but after that my family and I just can’t risk us getting ill like that again. I haven’t even ate all my food I’ll post what’s left. This was the scariest moment of my life no lie.
-This have never happened to me before, I’ve never experienced eating stale food left out or food poisoning. I’m also upset of how much money was wasted due to us not even being able to eat all of the food, then it getting us sick & now having to throw it away.

This place has fantastic food. Their seafood is done well. Such a cute place but spacious enough to not feel claustrophobic.
There’s usually a wait time before being seated but definitely worth the wait. The food is fresh, perfectly seasoned and delicious. The staff are attentive.
