This place was great!! Shout out to Destiny!!❤️ She was friendly and helpful. We asked about an item that my son had never tried before. She asked the manager if we could try it and they allowed us. The place was very busy but we were treated like we were the only ones there. The shrimp was huge and cooked perfect. The crab was meaty and tender. I loved the mushrooms added to my boil!! I read some of the comments before hand… Look, if you don’t like an item speak to your server. They are there to make your meal enjoyable. My family had no issues with our time there. We will be back!!!😊

My new favorite restaurant. Chill atmosphere with a cute charm. Seafood boils are my Jam. However there shrimp are like prawns they are so big!!! Prices are fair make value as far as seafood goes. So 2 pounds of beautiful shrimp potato’s and corn on the cob all for around 50.00 such an amazing hidden gem in Weatherford. I come through once a month and you better believe I will be stopping. Also the waitress was super sweet. My granddaughter and I duck jeeps. We had just ducked her Jeep. She came running out just to hand my granddaughter a duck!!! (A Jeep thing) great experience always

Ordered the ragin Cajun boil and a cup of etoufee. My first sign was the nasty old cup my water came in. I thought she handed me a watered down tea at first. New plastic coke glasses can’t be that expensive. The etoufee was yellow and tasted like it came out of a can. I ordered the boil mild but it was almost too spicy to eat. The andouille sausage was so gross. I couldn’t figure out if I was tasting freezer burn or just overcooked so bad. It made the whole boil taste weird. Shrimp was the only thing I could really enjoy. Crab legs were overcooked and I had to fight to get them out of the shell. I told the server about the sausage and she just said sorry and carried on. $72 for an overcooked, funky tasting boil is kinda crazy. My bill came out to $90 (I added an egg and a side of garlic bu

I'm going to start with the atmosphere. It is exactly what you should expect for a place called The Boiling Cajun. Old hole in the wall building that looks like it has been built onto 8 times. Paper covered tables and sword fish on the walls. The service is also exactly what you should expect also. When you walk in they holler at you to sit wherever you want. Find a seat and they come right around to take your drink order. Service is great. They were very attentive and kind, checking on us frequently and keeping drinks full. The food was good a well. I had the catfish basket. The half pound basket came with one massive piece of catfish, fries and, slaw. The fish was battered with a spicy but not too hot batter. Seriously, it was massive, 12 inches long, 3/4 inch thick and 4 inches wide.

Super busy on an early Saturday dinner service(4pm and 2 ladies working the floor) Worth every single minute we had to wait. Appetizers are HUGE portions..frog legs and stuffed mushrooms ..seasonings are on point..food and drinks are amazing and perfect for South Louisiana cuisine.I dont want you to go eat there because it will be harder for us to get a place next time but if you do go....you better tip those amazing people because they dont take a break and are working their butts off....we have no affiliation but the locals helped us pick our menu items. We had. Frog legs, stuffed mushrooms and boudain balls for appetizers and 2 ragin cajuns for dinner. 2 wines and 2 hurricanes (better than Pat O briens. ) It won't be fast food but worth the wait. Go!! Have fun!!
