This restaurant is in a small shopping center next to a Princess Tea location. There was plenty of parking, and the inside was roomy. It is a great place to take the family, though it can be expensive. The service was quick, and the staff was amiable; I think we waited 15-20 minutes for food after we ordered. We had two boil bags, some apps, a couple of drinks, and a kid's meal, totaling 117 dollars. The food was delicious as well! Would come back here again!

Not impressed. The sauce was milk based and my food was a bit salty. Drinks were good, staff was attentive, live music on friday was entertaining, noise was average. Last seating is at 9.45 pm and there is a 2 hour max time.

We have been here a couple of times and I am happy to write a review that is positive! If you don't read any further reviews and are questioning whether to go, dont hesitate but just do it! The boils here are great. The portions are large, the sausage is salty and great and the food is not over cooked. What is also great here, is the fried foods. They have fried oysters, fish and chips, and even their fries are good. I really enjoyed the fish and chips. The batter is very light with more meat and crunchy and the fish is recognizable as a filet. This last trip was really pleasant for us. We had the pleasure of being taken care of by Angel and I have to say, he was an awesome server. I would highly recommend asking for his section if he is working. He ensured we were taken care of, got everything we ordered, and continued to take care of us even after eating. The restaurant is also very clean and organized.

The boil bags were amazing. I got the lobster tails and snow crab. Everyone else got shrimp and crab except my daughter. She got chargrilled oyster. She said they were to die for. The gumbo was also outstanding. The music was great. The staff great too! I have been in VB 3.5 years and just found this gem! We will be bag again. Oh and the check with drinks, 5 gumbos and 1 Cesar salad, 5 boil bags, the oysters and coconut shrimp came to $211.00. You cannot beat that with my boil bag having 4 lobster tails and a 1/2 pound of snow crab.

I know this is a seafood boil restaurant but let me tell you, they have the BEST lobster rolls in the seven cities. I drive from Suffolk just to get one. I've been to other places that are "lobster restaurants " and they pale in comparison. The toasted, buttered roll and huge portion of lobster just hits the spot. My husband had a crawfish boil and loved it, they were huge! The garlic parm wings were great too. Our server was awesome, couldn't ask for more!

The vibes are unmatched,whether it's karaoke night on Saturday or just a Wednesday with 50% off any combo the music is good! I love being a regular here

Looking for seafood? Come to Boil Bay! The ambiance is great. The decor reminds me of being in the water with sharks and fish everywhere. I ordered the "pick your own" meal. I ordered shrimp with no heads and a lb of crab legs. I opted out of corn (sorry, mom no vegetables for me lol) and got eggs and potatoes. I ordered all this with the mild Boil Bay sauce. The meal was great! If you take anything from this review, remember this-- ORDER EGGS WITH YOUR BAG! The reason why they do not have 5 stars, is because the wait staff was a little slow. Now, I believe it's because they did have a big party in here, but I had to ask for refills, crackers, and butter. The butter was separated so I ended up not using it. 7/10000 recommend.
