Theboil Jersey City

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.

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 can really choose your own adventure. Everything is very customizable from the type of seafood, to the flavor profile, to the spice level. There should definitely be something for everyone (as long as they enjoy seafood). I'd be happy to come back the next time I'm craving seafood and love that it's probably one of the only places in the area where you can get delicious snow crab legs- a favorite!

We really enjoyed the food from The Boil over another seafood restaurant in our town and we drove to 20 mins each way to pick it up. We order once a month and we have been a customer for a few years. Their food is very tasty and fresh most of the time and if we have to nitpick it, it would be the shrimps need to be more consistent in freshness. Customer service is nice and I am glad we don't need to go to the city to enjoy The Boil.

Came here with my boyfriend on a summer night for dinner and had the best experience! Food was delicious and enjoyed being outside on the patio.

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!
