Pinch Boil House

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! The service was outstanding, and the ambience was perfectly balanced—not too loud, and the music was on point. It created an inviting atmosphere that made me want to stay longer! Despite being downtown on Broadway, I was thrilled to find convenient street parking and a small lot that’s shared with other businesses. Now, let me tell you about the food! I dove into a scrumptious seafood boil, and the flavor was out of this world! My only tiny suggestion would be to pay a bit more attention to the crab legs; they were so flavorful, but they did stick to the shell a little. However, the shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the mussels were equally delightful! I also indulged in a mouthwatering prawn bowl that was bursting with flavor, paired with some amazing veggie rolls. I wholeheartedly recommend this place—it's a must-visit for any seafood lover! Can't wait to go back!

I am a regular and I am always impressed by the friendliness of Destiny and Ariza! They are always kind, sociable, and even memorized my order which is a small but extremely kind gesture. The food is great as well! I regularly get pinch fries, which I 100% recommend, and have also tried the Prawn bowl, the chicken curry, the Japanese curry, and two of their bahn mi sandwiches. Absolutely everything has been tasty and worth ordering. I would absolutely recommend coming here for the food, the atmosphere, the workers, and the cleanliness.

Food is super good! We went twice in one week. The bread for the Banh Mi was soooo soft and toasty. The fries were great perfectly done with a great amount of crab on top. The prices are super reasonable, staff was friendly, and I personally love the posters hanging up as well.

It's a sad day when I have to post something like this. Usually Pinch Boil delivers. However, this time sadly it fell truly short of the mark. A half a pound of crawfish, a quarter of a piece of sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob had little to no flavour. It seemed to have been cooked out of them. The curry bowl on the other hand, tasted delicious, although it was on a bed of soggy rice and burned potatoes. Pinch Boil has been a tried and true performer, The staff is engaging and fun. With any luck, this was just a one-off.

The food is really good. I had a pork sandwich which was outstanding. We also had dumplings and spring rolls which were very good.

Amazing food for an amazing price! Perfect blend of western and eastern flavors and spices 👍🏻 We ordered the crab and shrimp combo + half a pound of mussels with the dragon sauce in mild child. And pinch fries. Destiny was very helpful and brought our food out quickly!

Came on a Sunday and they had a special for only $20 a shrimp and crab leg boil. I loved the southeast asian twist on seafood boil. Everything was delicious. It's a relaxed atmosphere which is nice. Not pretentious at all. The woman working at the front was amazing, great vibes, friendly and quick. She ran the whole place by herself on the front end. Will definitely be back.

Wanted to pick up some lunch before running to central market and Pinch Boil House fit the bill. From the outside I didn’t expect the seating area to be as big as it was. Pros: The food is savory spicy and different. Real Crab meat is used on their fries The employees are very helpful and outgoing The menu lends it self to fresh ingredients (even their pickles are in house) They have daily specials Cons: It’s a little on the pricy side

It's AAPI Month and we kicked it off with a visit to @pinchboilhouse. Check out their daily specials! Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Pineapple Cider, and I had Kona Big Wave Golden Ale. We got the Pinch Fries to share. Dad had the Kap's Chicken Curry Bowl with coconut curry. Dad loved the sauce. I had the Prawn Star Bowl. Hubby had the Crab & Shrimp Combo. All the food was phenomenal! We got our first stamp and a 10% off the bill. Get the AAPI passport and check it out!

I wasn't a fan of the food. The OG garlic butter sauce was oddly thick and it kept messing with my brain. The flavor was there but I just wasn't a fan. Nice to see they have happy hour and the customer service was great.

I was surprised at how much everyone (2nd grader, 5th grader, high school and adult) in my family loved this restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Always a good time, good food, great service. For the third time in two months, the team at Pinch have been nothing short of amazing. Always helpful, always making sure we don't want for anything super friendly. On this visit my brother came in from out of town and I was confident Pinch would prove a good venue for the get together. I tried the Thursday special - The Dirty Bird, which was fine. It has a good blend of flavor between the Korean bbq chicken and the cole slaw, pickles, and unami mayo, but it's nowhere near as awesome as the pulled pork curry. My mom went with the giant snow crab boil, my niece had a pound of crawfish, the kids had their sausage and shrimp lil bowls. My brother had the bahn mi pork rice bowl which he devoured, then picked at the others leftovers. Wasn't much left in the end. I've been here several times, but usually at lunch, and it hadn't seemed busy, but Thursday evening for dinner it can get busy. Plenty of parking out front in the evening when the other stores in the strip are closed. If you want a meeting spot with good beer, and food with an Asian zing, you won't be off the mark at Pinch.

Pinch Boil House is the comfort food that everyone needs in their lives! This amazing restaurant originally opened in downtown San Antonio and was one of the first ones (if not the first) to bring southeast asian-inspired food to the Alamo City. After covid they moved their restaurant to the Alamo Heights area making them way more accessible to everyone in the city. The restaurant itself is really nice with plenty of indoor seating and a couple outdoor tables. I love that their menu is simple with not too many options, which I think is a sign of a great restaurant. With that being said, I've only had their two chicken bowls since I don't eat seafood. The Dirty Bird consists of korean buffalo chicken, cabbage slaw, peppers and some spicy mayo. This bowl is absolutely delicious and can be very filling. If you are really into fried style chicken, this bowl is definitely for you. However, my #1 pick has to be the Kap's Chicken Curry. This bowl is made with roasted chicken, panang curry, potato, cilantro and other delicious spices. If you love curry, this is the bowl for you! The combination of the curry with the roasted chicken is what dreams are made of. Frankly, I could eat this every day of my life and would be the happiest person in the planet. Thank you Pinch Boil House for always bringing consistent delicious food to San Antonio!

We ordered takeout (DoorDash) from Pinch Boil and it was pretty great! Realllly flavorful dishes and waay better than most things on DoorDash. I got Kap's Chicken Curry and savored every bite. The creamy coconutty curry was so fragrant, the chicken so moist, and the potatoes were tender. To not waste a drop of that tasty sauce, I made some rice at home to eat it all up. My husband ordered the Prawn Star bowl and inhaled it. He gives it two thumbs up. My only compaint is that the portions seemed a littttle small. It could be limited by the size of the takeout container but I wish there was a little more food in each order. Definitely will be ordering again from here!

Hidden nice little gem in a busy area. The service is amazing. The staff was very welcoming and brought us some menus since we had our kids. This is a family place so do expect that. I feel some people forget children are in this world and judge restaurants on this so I must note it. They have a baby changing station and high chairs. Took a picture of the kids menu for future visiting families. The food was phenomenal! I've ordered delivery and on-site, both amazing! I've had the business bowl and LOVED IT! Now this, wow! It's a must place to try! I will definitely come-by again and/order from them. Love this cute little spot!

We love this spot and the daily specials always come thruuuuu!! Today we shared the curry chicken bowl for $8 and the business boil for $12ish. The garlic butter flavor is fire and has the perfect amount of spice. Sausage and shrimp is always delicious and tender. Check their IG out for details on the bowl/deal of the day! They also have these amazing pinch fries, which come with crab meat and this spicy sauce. Huge serving and yummy if you're looking for something else to eat!

We ordered the business boil which was very tasty & I got the Yelp " The Prawn Star", I told the young girl at the counter that I didn't want the Sirachi sauce that came with it because I didn't like anything spicy but she promised me it wasn't spicy at all . I got my bowl & it was too spicy for me too eat . I ate one shrimp & my mouth was on fire . I'd say it was probably a good dish if you prefer spicy foods . In the back where the cook passes the cooked dishes to the waitresses their were 2 employees eating food and drinking beverages in front of the customers. Not very professional. This was just an ok experience for me . Should've stuck with my gut and not gotten the sirachi sauce on it like she suggested the original Pinch Boil House was the bomb.

Really fantastic location to dine.  Adore the atmosphere, menu, and service. Pop in. Grab a menu. Order at the counter when ready. We tried the egg rolls and dumplings to start. The eggs rolls are packed the right way .. lots of meat and fillings... thick and served with Thai chili sauce. Then Prawn star with peanut slaw added (Yum!!). It had lots of shrimp and a fantastic spicy sirracha coating and a garlic butter mayo sauce. The Kap's chicken curry was spicy, herby, and amazing. The lemongrass and cilantro paired well with the deep, rich flavor of the curry sauce. I would have liked a little more rice in the bowl, but it was plenty to eat. The service was helpful, timely, and very nice! The atmosphere is eclectic with a very cool movie theme, Thai colors and modern layouts.

Low-key ambience, service was very quick. The boil was not bad, but the garlic butter was overpowering and I couldn't taste a ton of freshness in the seafood. However the salad was incredible (peanut dressing, chicken).

Pinch is fine. Bordering on "pretty good," but two things keep me from making this a regular stop. One, they insist on drowning everything in green onions, often even if you specify "no green onions" or even "no green onions, please." Even more egregious than their lack of attention paid to requests is their $8 egg roll app. It's two small rolls cut in half. Four bucks an egg roll and they're not even that good. You're not going to go wrong if you choose to dine at Pinch, just go in with low expectations so that you're pleasantly surprised.

My husband and I stopped for crawfish boil and peeled crawfish. The food was good but a bit pricey for a no thrill restaurant. The crawfish and shrimp was perfectly cooked. The sauce was Asian inspired and a bit different from the typical boil but was tasty. The upgrade for the corn, baby potato and single 1-5-2 inch sausage was meh. The corn looked beautiful but mushy. I didn't eat it after a single bite. We ordered the healthy bowl to balance our meal. We enjoyed it and was a good accompaniment. We ordered the fried dumpling which was only okay. In my mind, I was getting pan-fried dumplings so I was disappointed when the deep-fried dumplings came out. I re-read the menu and it was my mistake. We will unlikely come back since it would be way out of our way to come back. But, if we do, we may try a couple of their bowls.

I really enjoyed eating here! Normally I am not one to eat shrimp away from the coast, but this place makes everything smell, taste, and look good.

So happy I came for dinner everything was so good! got the crab and mussel in coconut sauce. Also got the curry bowl. Both were so flavorful and delicious I can't wait to come back. The staff were also very kind and welcoming.

Great Asian food!! . It's a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.

We came back last night to try other items on the menu and they did not disappoint! We live on the other side of town, but it's definitely worth the drive. They were playing awesome throwback music, too!

We tried this restaurant as part of Yelp Elite week and it was very good! The restaurant is in a shopping center and easy to find. The service was very nice and welcoming. The food was very good and I'm looking forward to visiting again!

Our go to goodness! When you want delicious, well prepared curry, stop by here and you won't be disappointed. All of the curries sounds great to choose from but I'm limited to chicken and what I can tell you about it is its mmm mmm good! It's great!

First timer visiting. I almost missed the spot, but I'm so glad I didn't. I was greeted upon walking in, and I could already smell the food cooking!! My mouth watered as I ordered my shrimp rice bowl for free with my yelp event! I'm definitely going to bring the hubby here! The bowl was amazing! Shrimp is my favorite, and this bowl was full of it! It was cooked so quickly the service was outstanding! The staff was super nice, and I'm so glad I could partake in this event and try something new!

A previous reviewer left the comment of "Asian comfort food". Pinch is totally that vibe. Came here for an early evening dinner. We were a party of three. Their happy hour starts at 3 PM and runs till 6 PM. For bites, they offer a dollar off any rice bowl. They also offer a dollar off of canned or bottled beers and a dollar off of a glass of wine. Lastly, they offer five dollars off of a bottle of wine. We started with an order of the pork eggrolls and the fried dumplings. Full disclosure: they told us upfront that they were out of crab (no Pinch Fries avail; however, an employee was out, picking up the crab; which we did order later in our meal, as we were there for so long.) Hubs ordered the "Business Boil" and my friend and I each ordered the Prawn Star. Inside feels like a typical fast food restaurant with some outdoor seating. It's way too hot outside currently so the inside was sufficient. All of the appetizers were delicious as well as each meal. The Pinch fries are amazing. Be sure to order them. They are a staple on the menu. Obviously from the photos I wasn't fast enough to snap how everything looked before heartily consuming. Two thumbs up from me. They're an "I'd go back there" restaurant.

What a terrific place Pinch Boil House is. I ordered one of their signature rice bowls, the Bahn MI, and it was awesome. Typically served as a sandwich, the Pinch version is served in a bowl with rice or you can substitute greens if your are watching out for those killer carbs . After looking at the menu, I will definitely have to come back and try one of their Fresh Seafood Boils. It looks like shrimp, snow crab legs, clams and mussels are standard offerings but, right now you can get crawfish. I cannot wait to come back.

Decent place in San Antonio for a quick lunch bowl. Got the business boil with garlic butter and spice is nice. The ingredients were quality but it was sad to have just one sausage, though the amount of shrimp made up for it. The disappointing part was the lack of flavor, as it tasted like they boiled it in plain water and then put sauce on top, which made it bland. Service is quick and other dishes were not bad. Portions are on the smaller side and the appetizer fries ($6.50) were tasty but like for one serving. I might come back if I'm craving shrimp but other than that I wasn't impressed.

First let me state that the gentlemen at this dining establishment have fantastic customer service. I'll be honest and tell you I actually first tried their food via UberEats. I was blown away (and that's truly saying a lot) by the flavor explosion that took place in the Business Boil my hubby and I ordered. It was seasoned so good and tasted like it was made with care. I loved it so much I couldn't wait to try one of their other dishes. Weeks later, I went to work and decided to do lunch with a co-worker. What a great excuse to physically visit The Pinch Boil House! We arrived, parking was plentiful, the decor (with the beautiful map on the wall) was a nice touch. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful with recommendations for my friend, since this was his first time. We ordered the Dirty Bird and Banh Mi (chicken) bowls. Once again the flavors danced on my palate and to go above and beyond they were kind enough to add to my co-workers first experience in their restaurant and provided us some free pork egg rolls. Co-worker could not stop raving about the yumminess he experienced. Thank you for making this a fantastic foodie-share!

Please treat yourself! My friend took me here for a quick lunch since we were in the area and I cannot wait to go back! The food was delicious and the service was great!

Just delicious.. we sampled three dishes and they were both uniquely flavored. The shrimp on the prawn star was lightly battered, it sounded so good that I ordered extra shrimp. They do not have a kid's menu, however they were quick to offer adjustments on their regular menu to satisfy my picky eater. And the staff... very very friendly. Highly recommend and will be going back soon!

I seriously just love this place. Second time coming back and it was just as good, if not better than the first time we came here. Their flavors are carefully thought out, well executed. Everything is so flavorful on its own and then when it's blended, sigh, just perfection. Their curry is hands down the best curry I've ever had. That says a lot because I LOVE curry. I eat it at least once a week and still pinch boil house blows me away. The loco moco was a daily special so I'm not sure if they'll have it again but it was so fun to try! My husband said it reminded him of being back in Hawaii but slightly better. Pork egg rolls were juicy on the inside, crispy outside, flavorful with and without the sauce. I can't say enough things about this place. Worth every penny, every mile to drive there. 1000% will be coming back. Prices are fair and best of all: their staff is incredible.

Been coming here since they were under the the rand garage. The prawn star is incredible, especially if you add avocado. The staff have all been nice to interact with every single time I go.

You need to visit Pinch if you want fantastic food served quickly with friendly service! We swung by for a late dinner a few nights ago to try it out for the first time. The cashier answered a few of our questions and gave us some recommendations. Neither of us were feeling seafood at the time so we ended up ordering The Dirty Bird bowl and the Pinch Chopped Salad with chicken. The presentation of both dishes was beautiful with fresh, vibrant veggies. My bowl was piping hot, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and there was a ton of flavor with some really nice heat. The salad was crisp and fresh with another perfectly cooked chicken and a really tasty dressing as well. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of our meal and left knowing we would be back again very soon!

Pinch Boil House is a real treat, and a good value -- exciting food that you can keep coming back to and rediscovering things on the menu. The focus is Southeast Asian dishes but with Cajun flair. The Prawn Star is a standout: fried shrimp with a honey sriracha glaze in a rice bowl with scallions and garlic butter mayo. Each bite of shrimp is a burst of flavor. The seafood boils are customizable but it's so easy to just get the Business Boil, with the right balance of shrimp, sausage, corn, and potato. The sauce and spice levels are customizable, too. Among the dishes to share -- or order as appetizers -- we tried the salad, full of fresh greens, and the fried dumplings are crispy with a savory filling. Goals: try the egg rolls.

Finger licking good. First time there and was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent of course in Alamo heights. Will be back again.

I'm so glad I finally tried this place! The friendliest warmest costumer service, perfect portions, fair prices and amazingly delicious food! The menu is simple and customizable, and I can't wait to go back and try more combinations! If you like Asian flair and seafood this is the place for you.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 4/5 I have been wanting to try this place for awhile and glad I finally got around to doing so. This is probably one of the best meals I've had in San Antonio. First off, don't worry about navigating their menu. The employees are very friendly and knowledgable and will help you figure out a dish + sides + sauce combination that is right for you. I ended up going with the shrimp, rice, corn combo with garlic butter and medium spice. I love spicy food and this was perfect. All based on recommendation from my server. I don't know what their secret is but I think it is in the sauce. It is very unique and extremely flavorful. Perfect for seafood. While writing this review, I am already craving my next meal here. Pinch Boil House will definitely be on my regular list!

Food is good but they gave my a plastic cup for soda that was chipped terribly. How do they not throw these out. Bacteria grows on chipped plastic and bowls. Maybe time to go through plates and cups and discard.

Just left 5 minutes ago and had to leave a review. Go for the food, come back for the service. Their menu had enough variety but not so much as to make it feel overwhelming, and you can pick your spice levels and desired proteins or tofu. Prices were very reasonable. Shrimp were delicious and cooked to perfection. Reminded me of the Vietnamese seafood restaurants I grew up eating at in Louisiana. Also the pork is chef's kiss All that being said, the real reason why I felt moved to leave a review is because of how great the customer service was. Have you ever been to a restaurant and felt like the people there were GENUINELY appreciative for your business? It felt like that. Everyone was so polite, and very friendly and kind as well. Also we have a toddler which makes dining out stressful sometimes l, however the staff were so accommodating and thoughtful, I really appreciated the service we got. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Let us talk about seafood! This place offers variety of seafood plates with interesting sauces that I have not seen within the city. They also have some other meats in the menu which makes it more interesting. Ordered "The Dirty Bird", a korean inspired buffalo fried chicken it is really tasty with one issue the sauce was overpowering to the point you can't enjoy it. I do suggest to get the sauce controlled or have the customer choose how much sauce needs to be added. I know some would love to have sauce in their bowl. "Business Boil - Signature Boil Combos" with coconut curry. Their sauces is very simple and easy to choose on. It is well priced, which I mean budget friendly. You can customize your Boil Combos but sauces can't be mixed. "Pinch Fries" - fries is good for 2-3 people really tasty with crab meat and some of their sauces. I am wondering what makes it their price like that? Maybe they do their own work for the crab. For seafood lover, this is a good venture with your fries (ilovefriesandcrabmeat) - a crab meat topping. The place was packed when we visited but they were attentive enough to ensure they will serve you and address your concerns. They have lots of classic movie posters and other arts. They does not have outside sitting but they do table or bar. They offer beer, sodas and wine. All of their staff were nice and just accommodating. Very helpful and try their best to assist all especially those time we visited where it was packed. Also they have crawfish and I am not sure if it is only seasonal. Contact them or visit the place for you to know more!

This place is in a perfect location for UIW student - across the street from main entrance. HAPPY HOUR: Tues-Friday 3-6 PM worth it! I ordered the Business Boil - 1/2 lb of shrimp, corn, sausage and potato, I customized mine with dragon sauce and the "spice is nice" dry rub, really spicy, REALLY GOOD. I saved the corn for last to absorb all the flavors and it was perfect. My husband ordered The Dirty Bird rice bowl - Korean Buffalo chicken, Asian cabbage slaw, peppers, and topped with umami mayo. The presentation for this dish was my favorite, see pic below! We ordered two Sapporo's and friend dumplings off the happy hour menu. Had a great time and will be back when I visit UIW friends.

These guys started out doing pop-up crawfish boils in which you would have to follow their online account to find out where they would be. They then found a spot downtown, which became surrounded by construction. Luckily, they are now closer to me in Alamo Heights and I finally had time to visit. I have been here twice, now. Both times, my wife ordered 1 lb of shell-on shrimp in coconut curry with a side of corn. The first time, she ordered it with Spice God, and the second time with Spice is Nice. She liked both and just depends on your mood (or how much spice you can handle). The first time I went, I had the Prawn Star rice bowl, which is fried honey-Sriracha glazed shrimp, scallions, and garlic butter mayo. The second time, I had the Business Boil, which is a 1/2 lb of peeled shrimp, sausage, corn, and potato. I chose Spice is Nice. I can handle Spice God (or level 10 spice at any restaurant), but I like to sit in the middle of the spice range. While I did like the mix of sides that came with the Business Boil, I prefer the Prawn Star rice bowl more. Both times, the kids shared pork egg rolls and fried dumplings. Their beer selection is pretty decent and I ordered something on tap both times. I will definitely be back for more.

Very Clean,friendly, DELICIOUS FOOD!! THE Chicken was nice a criiisspy Good portion. We are well traveled army Family so Don't miss out!

Came here a few weeks ago to finally give it a try after seeing the Pinch Fries on IG. Also got The Business Boil with the garlic butter with a side a rice. Holy mackerel they were delicious! So delicious that I took my bf with me the week after! And guess what! We're going back tomorrow. It's that good!

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. That was the sound when I chomped my shrimp from "The Prawn Star". I loved it! The texture and flavor of the shrimp was spot on. The perfect blend of spice and crunch with a generous serving of rice. The Pinch Fries were tasty and it was fun and different to have fries topped crab. The space was clean with comfortable seating and cool posters for decor. With friendly customer service and quick service, I would definitely go back.

Pinch Boil House is not what I expected, it's better!! The inside is very clean and designed in a really cool way. The staff was amazing, all in good moods and attentive and gave great recommendations. This is a restaurant where you order and pay up front then sit yourself. Food was brought out within 10 minutes. My friend and I split the crab fries which were really good then we both got the Prawn Star shrimp bowl which comes with fried honey-siracha glazed shrimp. We added avocado and an egg to our bowl and I'm glad we did because without it, it would've just been shrimp, rice, and green onion. Definitely needed that extra something to the bowl. It would've been nice if it came with some veggies, but we thought it was super good. We also got a punch card! I believe it's get 9 bowls/salads and your 10th one is free! Overall, we had a great experience. I love a bowl, but I do want to try their boil next time. You should definitely try it out! Limited parking, but you should be able to find a spot.

Such a great experience! The food here is fresh and flavorful! We have been to this restaurant twice and both times we left very happy and full! The portions are very generous and you won't leave hungry, I am glad we found this restaurant!

New Location! Food is still excellent location is much smaller than before. Service was great for the two staff that I saw. Super friendly and helpful.

Omg!! Absolutely loved their food!! Even my nit picky daughter loved it. I've now ordered from them 3 times for pickup, and the food was spectacular. You know how when you get food to go, it kinda gets soggy... we'll I don't know how they do it, but the prawns in the prawn bowl were still perfectly crisp and sweet and spicy all at once when we opened it up. This place has the best coconut curry that I've ever had, and I went back for more the same night. I recommend this place over and over! I wish I'd taken more photos, but we ate everything before I could think to do so.

This has been some of the best seafood that I've had in San Antonio. Prices aren't that bad. The spice is at a decent level and it has a Cajun taste to it. Still doesn't have that gulf fresh taste but for it to be land locked it is really good.

I was pretty disappointed when the other location closed down, since then the flavor isn't as good. The crawfish didn't taste like it was soaked in the flavor long enough. However for rice boil dishes are delicious! I had the spicy fried chicken bowl & it was delicious. I would come back for the rice bowls but not for the seafood boils.

5 plus stars!!! Came here after seeing my fellow Yelpers recommendations. First, staff greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. The smell hits you and you know it's going to be good. I was going to go for a crab boil but I decided on a bowl instead. I ordered the Kap's Chicken Curry (Penang). My friend got the the Dirty Bird bowl. We shared the Pinch fries and fried dumplings. Everything was AWESOME! The flavors of the curry were spot on. I eat a lot a Panang curry so I was so pleased with this bowl. The dirty bird bowl was good also but that curry was out of this world. The fried dumplings were delicious with the dipping sauce and so were the Pinch fries. The whole set up was great and we throughly enjoyed our meals. I will definitely be back. I would like to try more things on the menu but I will probably be stuck on the curry bowl for awhile.

TLDR; GREEEEEEEAT FOOD Okay, so I invited my Granny to join me for lunch and I'm sooooooo glad I did! After getting there and seeing some photos on their menu I wanted to try EVERYTHING and I'm definitely gonna be returning to do just that! Not only was every plate jam packed with flavor the prices did not break the bank at all! It was about $10-15 per plate which is super reasonable for the amount of food and FLAVOR! They do NOT mess around with the amount of flavor! 20/10 recommend this place to anyone who wants a crab broil or just wants a meal that packs a great flavor punch! Sauces = Awesome Flavor = Awesome Price = Awesome My ultimate favorite was the dirty bird bowl! Their homemade pickles were one of the standouts and the flavor of the chicken was phenomenal!

A friend and I were in town and she had had crawfish from Pinch Boil when they'd come to Austin for a pop-up so she recommended we eat here. We were too early in the season to get crawfish so I had the banh mi bowl and she had the business boil with garlic butter. Our meals were Delicious. The restaurant's atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but everything was so clean, the food was so good, the server was so friendly! Definitely worth eating here if you're in SA.
