Great spot to get a seafood boil! Careful with the spiciness because the medium is very spicy. The drinks are always delicious. I recommend a lemonade, my favorite one! There’s seafood always tastes very fresh. I’ve never had an issue with it being fishy. However, my one critique is the service, it takes a while to find your waiter. It takes a while to order and sometimes to sit down even if you have a reservation.

Randomly walked in for a table at 5pm with no reservations and was still seated.
Seafood boil was a 8 out of 10, the crab cakes were a 7.5 It was missing some flavor. As far as the drinks, they can be stronger..

Great place to fulfill your cravings for Seafood of most types! Great taste, great ambience, clean atmosphere, tiny clean bathrooms (lol), Host & waiters were polite, well spoken & ready to serve your needs at a whim! I had the Boil Bag of mixed lobster & shrimp, appetizers, drinks and so did my adult daughter. We had a really nice time eating & enjoying it!

We’ve been wanting to check this spot out for a while now. After a long day running errands, we finally decided to give it a shot. They add a 20% gratuity regardless of how many people are in your group. It was surprisingly calm for a Monday night, but the service was super fast. The aroma from the kitchen really drew us in; you could tell someone was cooking up a storm.
We went for the soft shell crab basket, and I definitely recommend having it there; it was super fresh. Each entree comes with two sides, so we picked the ribeye with broccoli and potatoes, and the butterfly snapper with Brussels sprouts and potatoes.
Both dishes were amazing, so we asked to meet the chef. Since it was a slow night, he was happy to chat. His name is Mohammed, and he hails from Senegal. If you get the chance to visit, I highly suggest trying either of the entrees. He was really appreciative of our compliments, saying he doesn’t get them often and seemed genuinely surprised.
He’s an awesome chef and is really bringing some fantastic flavors to theBoil Prime.

If you’re a seafood fan like me this place is a dream come true! I couldn’t get enough of the clams they were tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned and freshness. The seafood boil? A masterpiece! Every bite was packed with flavor, from the plump shrimp to the buttery corn and the perfectly cooked crab legs And the calamari was light and crispy. Overall, this spot delivers on quality, freshness, and taste. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood lover or just dipping your toes in, you’ll leave here completely satisfied. I’m already planning my next visit! Drinks are good and strong as well I didn’t get a picture of the boil because I dug right in

Crab legs were fresh and easy to Crack. My boyfriend that never cared for crab kept talking about how good it was. A little pricey but I left feeling so happy. They have $1 happy hour oysters, so ill be back for that. 10/10 will go back again.

In service is good. Online is a waste of time. This is a great seafood spot for a causal date or friends and family hangout. Seafood is fresh and seasoned to taste. It reasonably priced gratuity included with good proportion sizes. Friendly and attentive staff. You won’t be disappointed.
I order from the boil a week later after my in person visit of the Queens combo online is clear as day 1bs crab legs and 1 lbs crayfish. The sent crabs and shrimp instead. Now picture this, you put in your order because you have a craving for crayfish,you rush home and get ready to eat and open the bag…and it’s not crayfish. I pay for what I want no fuss no fight but when it’s time to get a refund it’s an issue. I don’t like disappointments especially with my food after a long day. Won’t be ordering again.

My roommate loves The Boil so much
but we haven’t visited in a while.
Garlic Bread is a must try since is flavorful
with garlic butter and crispy layer. It’s extremely satisfying after our first bite. Brussels Sprouts is my personal favorite. It was fried perfectly, crispy and appetizing with honey & balsamic vinegar. Sauce is the key of Cajun seafood and The Boil is the pro of flavorful sauce. ㅤㅤ
