Boondocks Restaurant & Package Store

Now just getting around to writing this but my fiancée and I were in 05/30/2025 for dinner. We were seated as soon as we walked in the door. Our waitress Mackenzie was very attentive and recommended food and drink options. I had the Crabby Patty and a cup of their cream of crab soup. I know, I know….why order a burger from a place that primarily does seafood? It was AMAZING and used local beef, the crab dip on it was perfect. My fiancée had a crab cake in a bowl of the cream of crab and loved it as well. Food and service were top notch!

new to eating blue crab. the market price was really pricey and I expected a lot more meat from the crab. a lot of fun to get at it though; mallets provided. the clams were miniscule. hardly a bite. however, it is all very tasty, in a super casual space, picnic tables or typical dining. staff is professional, knowledgeable and prompt. TY for the experience.

Boondocks in Smyrna is a local treasure and one of the most unique seafood spots around! It’s got that laid-back, no-pressure atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while—whether you’re there for a casual dinner or a fun night out with friends. They’re known far and wide for their infamous Swamp Water drink—it’s definitely a fan favorite and a staple of the Boondocks experience (even if you don’t drink, it’s fun to see the buzz around it). The food? Always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. You can taste the love in every bite. And booking a table—even for a large group—is super easy. The staff is friendly and efficient, making sure everyone feels welcome. And of course, the bras hanging in the bathroom? Always good for a laugh and just one of those quirky Boondocks tradition

Crabs 🦀 were great, waitress was awesome. Burger was excellent and rockfish bites outstanding. Shrimp 🍤 also large and tasty! Will be back again this year!

Food, service, and drinks were amazing. Our waitress (didn’t catch her name) was great and brought our two year old a lollipop when she saw him getting antsy. 10/10
