theBoil

S'okay. I didn't feel like eating with my hands, so I got the Fried Catfish, which was decent and came with tons of Cajun Fries. The side of pasta was too oily, though. However, I did try a bit of the Prince Combo and enjoyed the creamy Cajun Blend sauce, though I felt they were kinda stingy with the portions. Friendly service, though.

Our first time here tonight. What an awesome dining experience. From when we get there until we left. Staff were amazing! Our dinner was so so delicious! Hands down the best crabs and shrimp we have had! We picked their house cajun sauce! We will be back!!

Every time I think of theBoil I start drooling, seriously. I’ve visited The Boil in Jersey City several times now, and each experience has been consistently amazing. As a seafood lover who has explored numerous restaurants, I can confidently say that The Boil in Jersey City is a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the lively, yet comfortable atmosphere, with literally the best music, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with friends or family. The service was outstanding. Every time I’ve been, the staff is friendly, attentive, and always ensures that we have everything we need. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and provide excellent recommendations. But the food—wow. The seafood boils are always on point, with perfectly cooked shrimp, crab, and/or lobster. The signature “Boil Sauce” is dive (which is a complete understatement!), with just the right balance of spice and richness. If you’re craving fresh, flavorful seafood, this place is a go to. If you’re looking for consistently great service and mouth-watering seafood, The Boil is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough.

Excellent! The oysters are really fresh and the service is great. Super friendly staff and delicious food. Can’t beat their happy hour oysters and drinks. Heri the bartender is the best

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.

Came here for a late lunch. Ordered two 20 headless shrimp pieces. A spicy Cajun and Medium Lemon Herb. Both outstanding. Waitress described “spicy” as habanero hot, it the case. If you like kick, get the hottest level. Shrimp was fantastic, we love places like this and I was thrilled the food didn’t taste like the bag! We ordered an appetizer of bang-bang shrimp, was meh. Drinks were great, definitely a bourbon street feel with frozen drinks and plenty of Abita. Highly recommend, will be coming back.

I always come to The Boil in Jersey City on Sundays with my husband, and we both love it! The shrimp in the bag with butter garlic sauce is my go to packed with flavor and served with delicious potatoes and corn. My husband can't get enough of the Louisiana French fries topped with aioli and crab meat. The drinks are also top-notch, perfectly complementing the seafood feast. If you're a seafood lover, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! ………………. Best place to have a fresh oysters, obay fries, and obay srimp with snow crabs! very tasty, best place in Jersey city.

The server was nice and fun to chat with, but the food felt a little lacking; great amount of options, but the sauce was too salty and the garlic was a lot, so if you don’t mind this you should be fine. They told us right away about the 20% gratuity fee so I'm sure they listened to the complaints others had about it, but they were upfront about it and weren't shady or anything so it was appreciated. The place itself is big, very roomy, and just a good vibe in general. I enjoyed my time overall but for the price I expected more.
