    One of my favorite places to eat. Come early to be seated! The boils are really good and the Cajun rice is a hit. We tried the shrimp po boys, hush puppies and the fried corn the other day. It was seasoned really well and delicious. I was surprised the po boys didn't come with a side, I feel like a sandwich should always have a side. If you don't like loud environments, this isn't the place for you. The bathrooms in VB location were blasting music so loudly you couldn't think. The Norfolk locations they're always playing music way too loudly and you can barely talk to your table. Some nights they do karaoke and it's even louder with bad singing.

    If you're looking for a good seafood boil and a great drink to match, you should definitely come try boil bay on holland road ! Let's start by getting into the drinks. I ordered the martini flight for $15 and they were DELICIOUS!! They serve another flight of martinis for $25 that ain't apart of the happy hour deal. I tried their Cajun fried rice along with the catfish basket and it was so good. The catfish could have used a bit more of seasoning, but it was fresh and the Cajun fries were amazing !!! For my main dish, I ordered a "Combo C" which consisted of 1lb of snow crab and headless shrimp. The ambiance was amazing !!! They displayed a lot of Halloween decor for the month of October (not too scary for the kiddos). Kenneth was our waiter and he displayed top tier customer service !!

    The outside almost made us turn around but once you step foot into the restaurant it becomes a better vibe. Service was decent, the servers were polite and we didn't have any issues. For appetizers we got fried fish sticks which were 8/10, tasted fresh. Along with a basket of fried oysters, they were decent and they came with cajun fries. The combo D was a good size for 3-4 people depending how hungry everyone is. we got boil bay special as the sauce and mild spice, 10/10 baby. we loved the flavor and the freshness of both ingredients and meat. Also ordered a mango marg, but it was nothing special. I would've preferred a beer with this meal but again, 10/10 boil I would recommend this place.

    Our server was friendly and the food came out quick. Large dining area and clean. The crab legs and lobster and shrimp were good quality but their house sauce is on the salty side. Had great flavor tho. It's definitely on the pricier side but for lobster and snow crab is expected.

    Family!!

    My family and I had an amazing time! We went on a karaoke night for my birthday dinner. Music was nice and welcoming! Food was great! Waiter was very nice and helpful for a family of 12. Music made it 10x better enjoying everyone and We were able to create an atmosphere of song and praise unto the lord! And that meant a lot to me!

    Let me tell you such a fun place. Every Friday and Saturday evening there's karaoke while you eat. Food is seasoned and tasty. Service was amazing for the amount of ppl in our group. Simply beautiful place. Can't wait to return in the summer

    The food was pretty good, absolutely demolished it. The service was great and the ambiance was very laid back and relaxing with nice decorations. Spent a decent amount but don't remember how much. Worth the price.

    We went to celebrate my kids father heaven birthday and it was amazing. We will be going back there.

    Definitely have to give this little mom and pop wing stop a try. Food was FRESH and the wings were…read moredelicious. and the owners were so sweet! I tried them both regular crispy and with the buffalo sauce and both were sooo good. We got the 10 shrimp and 10 wings + fries special for like $28 and it was a big old tray of food. Can't wait to go back and try more sauces.

    I called in a togo order at Wings Way. It took about 15 minutes. When i walked in the owner greeted…read moreme. Shes so nice. Theres a small seating area and its clean inside. Its pretty quiet in there. They have a deal for $28 with 10 wings, 10 oysters or 10 shrimp with fries. They also sell cheesecake and cake at the front. They have several sauces to choose from. I got wings way sauce which is sweet n spicy. Theres also blue cheese and ranch for $.50 each. I wanted the shrimp because it was my safe zone, but i got the oysters for some reason. The ride home was unpleasant because it smelled rank. My stomach was doing flips. Those oysters didn't smell good at all. They may not have been old or anything. I forced myself to eat one and it tasted like it smelled... I threw them away.. I didn't wanna suffer later.. Smh. The wings and fries were good though. I did like the sauce. The fries are battered and tasty. Next time I'll stick to wings and shrimp. Their food is pretty good besides my oyster shenanigans!!! Lol. Check them out. 3.5 stars!!
