The host was incredibly welcoming, and the drinks were exceptional. The food was perfectly aligned with its price in terms of both quantity and quality, not to mention delicious. I highly recommend visiting this place!

I was so engrossed in my meal that the staff noticed my sleeves were falling down, and they kindly helped me pull them back up to keep them clean. It's the little things like that that create unforgettable moments. I will definitely be returning, especially now that The Boil has moved closer to me!

The potatoes were unappetizing and they only provided one piece of corn. The snow crabs were also lacking in quality. The sauce was decent, so if you're someone who enjoys drowning your food in it, you might have a better experience. Additionally, they only accept cash, which is a bit inconvenient.

Make sure to try the crab and the Old Boil sauce. I had the crab sliders (they were pretty good!) and the Cajun fries. Overall, I’d rate the food a 5 out of 5!

I ran into an issue with their online ordering system, and my order was mistakenly sent to a location over an hour away from me. I called the restaurant just 10 seconds after placing the order, but the line was busy. After several attempts, I finally reached someone who informed me that they couldn’t issue a refund because the food was already prepared. I find it hard to believe that two crab boils and a shrimp basket could be made in under 10 minutes. I explained my situation in detail to the manager, but she still refused to refund my $160 order. I've always loved the boil location in Jersey City and have visited many times, but this experience left a very negative impression on me, making me reconsider giving this company my business in the future.
