“ One of my favorite places to have a boil. Flavor is always consistent. Service is great. gumbo was on point. A little disappointed in the size of the Alaskan crab this time of year, but still excellent. ”
“ Delicious food! We had crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn- with a little spice and flavor of the sauce sooo good! Ice cold beer dressed (served salted with a lime). Our server Candice was top notch! Highly recommend! Wish it was warm enough to sit on the patio! Maybe next time we roll through town! ”
“ This is more than a restaurant, it’s an event! It was so much fun diving into the crab combos we ordered. Got some king crab as well that was amazing. Megan was an outstanding waitress. Kept our drinks topped up and so friendly. My only disappointment was the andouille sausage which was not very good. All the other items in the combo dish were amazing. If in Rockport you need to visit the Boiling pot! ”
“ The food was AMAZING!!! The wait wasn’t bad at all. Love how they use the butcher paper for the tables and how they make everyone wear a bib. It was a fun time and then food was point on. Would definitely come back! ”
“ I don't like boiled seafood, so this is not my type of restaurant, but my wife who loves such food wanted to go, so off we went. She said this was the best boiled shrimp she ever had and also truly lived the blue crab. I on the other hand found the only items for me to try on the menu - oysters and the andouille sausage and they were both seriously fresh and perfect in every way! We'll be sure to come back when in neighbourhood. ”
“ Sam was my server. A caring, sweet and helpful person who took time to explain things since it was my first time eating here. Then I asked her how to peel the shrimp and she explained how to do it. I had a single serving and a small gumbo and that was just enough to feel full but not stuffed. The butcher paper on the table and the plastic bibs sounds typical for a Cajun Style Boiled Seafood. It was perfect! Next time I'll get the meal with the blue crab! ”
“ The boiling pot is the number 1 place to go for your boils hands down! I recently celebrated my birthday and my wife knew exactly what I'd want, so we took a road trip to get my favorite shrimp boil. The whole family had a good time with some great food and excellent service! ”
“ Where have they been all my Life!? I got the snow crab and enjoyed every bit of it. I asked for no butter, the Crab was Well Seasoned and Flavorful !! I Recommend them 100000%!! ”
