Not sure if we timed it right or what. But we visited this for the first time after moving to the area two years ago. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was hot and delicious. While we were stuck next to who might have been a manager as the cook brought out food for this guy to try and the staff followed like circling vultures to get their taste tests in too. They were respectful of us as patrons and we enjoyed the outside seating at the bar top. We ordered simple like we always do when trying a new place... the grilled cheese with a side salad and the Sausage Adouille. Both came out perfect. We also ordered the pickle fries which if you like pickles and you like them fried too can be super hit or miss. These were a hit! Everything has the perfect seasoning and non of it left us mad at our dinner choice. We will be back....

Great seafood boil. Even my picky kids finished and ordered a second round of snow crab. And finished the second one. Great friendly people and atmosphere. Just happened to see this restaurant as we drove into town from Chicago. It will now be our stop coming in and leaving. Family of 5 all got the boils and loved it. Can’t wait to try more of the menu. Other peoples food that came out looked amazing. Huge bar and outdoor seating bar perfect combo.Kid-friendliness: My 3 kids are with up at the outside tables. My daughter even played with the owners daughter while there. My son said best restaurant we’ve hit so far
Some of the best boil around, believe the servers when they tell you something is hot/spicey, and the catfish is better than my wifes. Can get busy on weekends. Outside/inside bar and plenty of seating.Craft beers are a little pricey.Parking: Big paved parking lot. North access to hwy19 is blocked on weekends due to cornhole games.
Food was not good . Catfish was not catfish very greasy shrimp for child was bad moldy. Would not recommend.

Beyond delicious! It was very busy and crowded, and we had a tad bit of a longer wait, but our waitress was so kind and tried her very best to communicate (short) delays with us. She kept drinks refilled, and checked back several times once we got our food. We had oysters as an app and even got our 10&12 year olds to try them! I thought they were delish, the kids didn't agree with me haha. For our main meal, our 9&10 year old shared a boil with 1 1/2 lbs of snow crab and 1/2 lb of clams, in the backyard sauce. Our 12 year old had a boil with 1 lb snow crab in St Roch. Our 14 year old had the rib-eye. Uncle had 1lb snow crab and 1 lb green mussels in Backyard sauce. And my husband and I shared 1 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb sausage, and 1/2 lb blue crab, in Backyard sauce with garlic added. We all LOVED our food!! I have been in many crab boil types of restaurants, all over the US, and this was easily in the top 2 (the first being at a spot in Bar Harbor, Maine). The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the seasonings were next level! The one possible complaint was in my 14 year olds ribeye, it was somewhat thin, and not great (but he still rated it a 6/10). But we had warned him about that from the start - I mean, who orders steak at a seafood restaurant?! Go with their specialties lol! Oh, we also added a side of steamed broccoli and the kids devoured it alongside the corn and potatoes that came in the steamer buckets. And our 11 year old loved the clams so much (his first experience with them) that he ordered another pound to be added on. At the end of our almost 2 hour meal, we were beyond stuffed! We had polished off almost everything except maybe 1/4 lb of sausage, and one of 2 crab small knuckles...we wanted to finish everything but we literally were stuffed to the brim. I wish they would sell the Backyard sauce and/or seasoning, it was so so so good!
Emily Whateley is an excellent waitress. The Boil Yard is lucky to have her. Pay her the best you can. She represents your restaurant very well!

I ordered a Southern Bayou Spice Shrimp Boil. Absolutely disgusting. They made it with alfredo sauce. There was zero spice. The waitress said she could give me red pepper flakes. The shrimp was over cooked. I took one bite and was done. That's not how you cook southern bayou spice shrimp boil. Food was not worth the price. They need to say they cook the boil in alfredo sauce. It didn't say that on the menu. Extremely misleading. I should have made them take it back but I was trying to be nice. No thank you. It's over works

Waited over 10 mins once we seated ourselves to be seen by waitress. Then once ordered waited 40 minutes for food. It was not busy with only 4 or 5 tables. The food was bland and cold. Would not recommend
