theBoil

If you are a fan of the boil, this is a great location! They sat us at spacious booth for a group of 3. It was Friday evening and we did not have a res, but it was on the earlier side around 6pm. Classic the boil menu. For vegetarians- I had the potatoes, mac and cheese, and garlic bread- and left full. Plus service was friendly and attentive.

This place is a solid option for flavorful seafood in the Jersey City area. I'd probably give it 4.5 stars if I was able to grant halves in ratings. The environment is fun and well decorated. It's seafood boil style so you get to eat with your hands (with gloves) and get the table messy which may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it! We ordered two combos: Combo B (lobster with shrimp) and the Queen Combo (snow crab with shrimp). Both flavors being TheBoil Special (Cajun blend) and Fire for spicy level. We were cautioned about the fire spice level but thoroughly enjoyed the heat. Be sure to wear gloves for your hands when digging in. The potatoes are a nice addition to the mix too. Don't eat the corn unless you want spicy lips (if ordering spicy). What I like about The Boil is that you

As we were greeted as soon as we came in by a very lovely lady at the front counter, we were immediately seated with the waiter, coming out very promptly and taking care of every knee. As soon as something was finished it was removed as soon as you needed something they were right there some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. It’s hard to find and the food is absolutely amazing. Is one of the best nights I’ve had out at dinner and well over a year year.

Food (5/5): We had the shrimp and crab leg boil as well as garlic bread, and catfish sandwich. Everything, especially the seafood was amazing. The shrimp and crab were super fresh and the accompanying sauce was delicious! Service (5/5): Super nice staff members who very responsive and helpful. I heard that during peak dinner or lunch periods the service may not be as great, but at least during my experience, the service was top notch. Venue (5/5): Hip venue with good outdoor seating area. Very comfortable and enjoyable vibe.

Reservations were made in celebration of my birthday in which the restaurant knew, but there was no celebration/ acknowledgement from the staff 👀. Anyway, I was craving the boil bag with garlic butter sauce, it was ok, (not enough garlic & the sauce was thickened 🤔), also had fried calamari, rice & my date had sliders, enjoyed with Modelo, and i indulged in 3 Bayou drinks and a couple of shots. The atmosphere was cool and not to pricy. I'll definitely return but will choose a different source for the boil bag. Everything else was decent so check it out! Beware parking sucks!
