"Head to Hot N Juicy Crawfish for seafood boils served by the pound in a steaming hot bag. Seafood selection includes crawfish, clams, shrimp, and crab when seasonal. Open for lunch and dinner. Distance from zoo: 0.4 miles." - Tierney Plumb
"If you’re in Woodley Park, you’re probably heading to the zoo. Swing by Hot N Juicy Crawfish after the reptile house and split The Drool, a boil stuffed with classics like snow crab legs, shrimp, andouille sausage, potatoes, and corn. The space is big, so you can stroll in any time and grab a seat, even with a larger group." - tristiana hinton, allison robicelli
"This Woodley Park restaurant is our favorite seafood boil spot in the city, and a fun place to unwind after climbing many a hill at the zoo. Come here with a group of friends or your family, and split the $68 drool boil full of crawfish, shrimp, and crab legs. There’s plenty of seafood, but if you’re into the corn and potatoes, ask for extra because you’ll only get a couple in each boil. Or, during weekday lunch, grab the $16 catfish, crawfish, or shrimp po’boy special that comes with fries and a drink." - tristiana hinton
"Though most folks are drawn in by crawfish, Hot N’ Juicy also does blue crabs when they’re in season. But instead of the usual Old Bay favored in the Mid-Atlantic, they offer other flavorings like Louisiana, lemon pepper, and garlic butter. Round out the meal with soft shell crabs, fried shrimp, chicken wings, fried catfish, or etouffee." - Tierney Plumb
"The disposable plastic tablecloths at Hot N Juicy Crawfish are your first sign that you’re about to have a great, messy meal. This casual Woodley Park restaurant serving steamed mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and crab by the half-pound is one of the best seafood boil spots in the city. It’s deceptively large, so you can stroll in any time and grab a seat, even with a larger group that just finished climbing the hills at the zoo. But digging into juicy crawfish and shrimp dripping with spicy seasoning requires vulnerability, so choose your dining companions wisely. We like to get “The Drool,” a $68 boil that comes with classics like snow crab legs, andouille sausage, potatoes, and corn. It’s enough to split with a few people, though you might want to ask for a couple extra ears of corn." - Tristiaña Hinton
