The shrimp basket was delicious. The shrimp are not the frozen type. These are lightly coated and very tasty. Comes with Cajun fries that also were great. Oyster special-the oysters were fresh and plump. Very nice staff. The bread pudding was just out of the oven and a treat!

This place makes "THE BEST CRAB" in the entire US! I love love crab & have eaten it in many restaurants & states and no one can come close to the taste! If you ever go to Chicago, this is a must! Food excellent as well as the service & staff. This place is a 10! JP Dobson

Smells good . Clean and wonderful service. Everything was sooooo good. Will comes back again

A friend suggested that we go to The Boiler Shrimp and Crawfish for dinner. This cozy restaurant specializes in seafood, and we had a healthy variety of their offerings. We had their specialty seafood boil. We got a half pound of shrimp and sausage boil. We also tried their fried calamari, fried shrimp with cajin fries, crab cakes, hush puppies, and garlic noodles. All of the food exceeded my expectations. These were the best hush puppies I've ever had. They were thicker, so they weren't sure it like I've had at other places. The crab cakes are super fresh and delicious. I was full, but I kept eating. I couldn't help myself. Once you get your food, the servers don't come around very often. I highly recommend The Boiler Shrimp and Crawfish!

If you like flavor, this is the place to go. My friends have been raving about this spot for their generous portion sizes and delicious food at a reasonable price. The decor here is quite cute with lots of seafood themed items around the walls and the bib itself. The spot gets quite busy, but it's more cozy than cramped really -- with a surprisingly reasonable noise level. The prices are on average 20-30% lower than what I see for comparable items around the Schaumburg area with generous portions. The food all comes out fresh and hot without being overly seasoned, with preparations that are quite flavorful and fit with the cajun theme. Service is adequate, enough for how busy they are - but they server doesn't come out super frequently. For me, all items were fairly good in general though some items stood out more than others. The half pound shrimp boil with pork sausage was a surprisingly filling combo for only $15 with a good tender texture to it and lots of flavor, particularly in the sausage. The fried calamari is as good as any sit down restaurant with a super generous portion that can be shared amongst the table. The garlic noodles had a good strong flavor of garlic and with the cheese and butter, went great with other dishes. The shrimp basket was very generous for $10 with a bunch of shrimp and a large helping of fries. I like the thicker batter on this shrimp which provided a nice satisfying bite and tons of flavor. The fries, I was torn on -- since I am not sure if I really like the smaller cut versus something a bit more meaty. The crab cakes were fairly flavorful, I think made with better than average crab. It's a bit more pricey and I'm not sure I'd order it again in a subsequent visit over other options, but it was a good dish and the preparation was nice. Similarly, I'm not sure I loved the hush puppies. They were definitely large and had a nice flavor. They might have been a bit too large for me and I would've preferred maybe a little more seasoning and for the inside to be a bit less dense. Overall though, delicious food at a reasonable price. You won't be disappointed eating here whether you're enjoying the seafood boil or any of their side dishes or appetizers.

This was my first seafood boil experience and it was soo dang good! My friend brought me here because she said it's her absolute favorite out of all the places she has tried in the Chicagoland area. The vibe inside is fun and inviting. Staff was kind and helpful! I ordered my friend's go-to order which is: 1/2 lb crab legs, 1/2 head-on shrimp, and corn. We got the trifecta flavor with medium heat. The flavor of the marinade is sooo goood I could've drank it!!! Beware your hands and mouth will smell like garlic for the next couple hours after eating here. We also shared cajun fries. I'm still on my journey of trying more seafood boil places but this place was a GREAT start! I will be back!

Went in on a Friday night and this place was packed. We had to wait 45 minutes but it was so worth it. The food comes out fast and tastes amazing. The fried fish is a must every time we come here. It's super soft and has so much flavor. I love the Cajun fries it comes with... Super crispy and has a unique flavor. The seafood boil bag is completely customizable to your liking down to flavor and spice level. This place has good music and good vibes. I love that you can bring beer or wine. The service customer can be better. The waitress only came once to our table. We had to flag her down for refills on our soda and ask for more sauce. Then I went home and notice they charged my debit card twice .. my bill and someone else's .. they never told me that they made that mistake. So I give the service a 3/5 and the food 5/5.

I have been here a handful of times already and the food has always been delicious. The service is also an important factor to mention. Through the years that I've been coming here, the service has always been consistent in efficiency, promptness and friendliness. I have only tried the trifecta sauce in mild heat level. The pieces of shrimp and crab legs were big and meaty. The garlic noodles and wings were both outstanding. They have daily specials (as of July '23): Mondays- Raw oysters are a $1 each; Tuesdays- All you can eat crab (not sure of the restrictions and details on this); Wednesdays- Buy 2 get 1 free on shrimps and crawfish . The dining area, the hand washing station and the bathrooms have always been clean. Depending on the day and time, parking can be challenging sometimes since it is located in a small strip mall. The last time I went (July 2023 on a Monday), I went on their page on yelp, and I joined the waitlist. I was seated right away once I got to the place. It got really busy quickly so I'm glad that they seated me on the last table available. I will definitely continue to come here. My experiences here were all positive and very satisfying. Keep up the good work guys! Oh and by the way, It's BYOB (no hard liquor allowed).
