Yikes!! I hate to leave a bad review as if it’s the food itself because I have ordered from Mr. Boil before and didn’t have this issue but this time I truly believe it was the driver more so tampering with the food due to how long they took to arrive, but this is how the crab looked when I open the bag. I don’t know if that’s just a food quality issue like the restaurant cooked it and put it in the bag that way, or did someone eat it on the way? Never seen this and no there's no pieces or chunks in bag…its just missing ? And this discovery is all happening while on the phone already with GH because I was already concerned it was so late. When the rep asked me to check any temperance with food ??

Overall great food and service. I’ve visited twice now and both times I had a consistent experience for lunch. The first time I had the soft shell crab poboy and this time the seafood boil bowl with shrimp and sausage. The poboy was a very good size that won’t leave you hungry. The taste was great as well, I just needed a lil hot sauce which is just personal preference. The seafood boil bowl was a healthy serving size as well. I got the spicy level of heat which had me sweating the whole time but was still flavorful. I’ll likely lower down to mild next time though. The service was fast and my waiter was very enthusiastic.

Okay this had to be the best poke hands down. Wasn’t expecting the bowls to be so big! Excellent and friendly customer service! Their combos are also delicious. Got the Mr. Boil special sauce thing which was superb. I got it medium for a little heat, but it wasn’t much! Would go for a higher level of spice my next time. Definitely will be coming back soon!
I haven't had a decent poké bowl since moving from Hawaii. This place definitely hit the spot. The ingredients were fresh, and the portion sizes decent. The seafood boil was very good too. Better than Juicy King when factoring in taste and price.The restaurant was clean, service was great, and the atmosphere is super chill. Will definitely be coming back again!

Food was usually fresh here, but not today. Crawfish is so horrific, unfresh and smell bad. I got an combo A and Shrimp is okay.

Not sure if I got a bad batch of crayfish this time but for the 1st the time the crayfish didn't taste fresh, the meat was stiff, brown in color & had a freezer burn taste, the main reason I go to Mr Boils is for the fresh crayfish...every other place I've tried taste like they were previously frozen. I will admit this is my 1st experience with a bad batch that I had to literally throw away vs making the long drive back to attempt a $70 refund, I am a little disappointed & a bit skeptical about trying the crayfish again at this point.
This place has better seafood than Juicy king crab! The seafood and the seasoning in the boil is the best I’ve ever tasted and its’s fresh. You want good seafood, come here and say far away from juicy king carb.
