My fav Cajun Seafood spot !!I’ve been here many times and never once has it disappointed me. The seafood is fresh, large portions and very delicious! Absolutely love the decor and the staff is friendly. Plenty of room to gather with friends and family and also watch a sports event on the large screen.

Unfortunately, I’m very disappointed with this boil. I’ve been to the boiling Jersey and in Manhattan. I have to say the service here is not prime. Our food Wasn’t hot and our waitress wasn’t too kind. She wasn’t really paying attention to what we wanted to order and was mixing up our orders changing our sauces. After we spoke about our orders, making sure everything is right she put in that we wanted an extra boil. So brought it to the table, and after we told her, we did not order an extra boil, she proceeded to debate with us. Obviously, it was a misunderstanding on her end. After that situation, she went missing for a little while and we noticed she was in the bathroom mirror for like 15 minutes playing with her hair. For the boil that states prime, it’s not prime service. I do recommend people skip and go to the other locations.

I was expecting more from this Boil due to it being a Boil Prime that serves Meat but I was disappointed. First off the server kept on getting our order mixed up and came to the table twice with extra orders of items we didn’t order. The seafood was ok but when I ordered the prime rib steak ( which was the only one they had) it was very salty and cold. Lastly the atmosphere was very cheap and not up to standards at all. The best boil was in Astoria or manhattan. Stay away from this one very disappointing

Our first time experience here was one to remember. I’m glad I picked this place. The restaurant was very nice inside and out, there was such a vibe and the food was so delicious. All the staff were very nice to us and so helpful. We plan on visiting more often. Thank you so much!Kid-friendliness: My mom and I were celebrating my son’s birthday. My daughter was also in attendance. The staff made my kids feel so comfortable. Got them everything they needed and helped them with their food as far as organizing it on the table to be comfortable. They also packed there to go boxes for them. My kids can’t wait to visit again. Thank you so much!

I loved the atmosphere and the food. I just wish they had more combo options with their boil selection. We definitely enjoyed our food. The boil and their special sauce were good thats what my son had. I had a shrimp scampi this time. It was delicious. Their homemade lemonade was refreshing.

I just wanted to share my experience from this location. I made a reservation for 10:15 pm. From parking and walking i made it into the boil at 10:23pm. Just me and my friend. The host advises the last seating is at 10:15pm i explained i had a reservation and i was walking from where i had to park and apologized for being late. My friend asked if they have a grace period being as though the reservation is for 1 hour and 30mins. The host says she going to ask the manager. The manager comes out to take a “look” at us. In my opinion he wanted to see who it was to make a determination on whether we can sit or not. I guess we didn’t meet his standards he comes up to us and smiles and advises we cannot sit he did offer us the take out option but i declined. If i can’t get the entire experience then i don’t want it at all. I personally feel like he could have made an acceptation i traveled from New Jersey, went to the nets game and had plans to eat here.I will continue to visit the Manhattan location but this one here i won’t be returning. And its quite small anyway the other location is way better.

Our server Lynda was extremely nice but I was very dissatisfied with the food. The flavor and quality does not measure up to the location on Waverly street, I felt like I was eating at two different places that had no affiliation. The price point was higher and the food was not great at all. If the same name is going to be used the quality

It was ok... it's an Asian owned crab boil.. nothing wrong with that. However, Asians tend to be very frugal/cheap when it comes to food and drinks..I got a Long Island because I didn't know if the bartender makes a strong drink or not. Everybody knows if you get Long Island you automatically get a strong drink but NO mine taste like coke. My friend whose birthday opted for a Mojito she didn't taste any liquor either so we let the staff know they brought us another shot for free so that was good so if you're there please check your drinks cause they're $18 with no liquor is not worth it. Now onto the food appetizers calamari was delicious and crispy.. I decided to get the gumbo instead of opting for the crab boil. Now the gumbo comes with one shrimp in the middle and just sausage pieces with little rice in some gumbo fillet, like now that was the cheapest Bowl of gumbo I ever had also, it was just sausage soup to be honest with sprinkles of rice and one shrimp. The taste was good but it's just not hearty like Cajun or Creole people eat. OK last but not least they automatically put the tip in the bill so I was like a $50 service from was decent , but the food wasn't all that & tbh the tip was more expensive than my meal ..I like to choose my own tip not coming back.
