Delicious food every time I order from here and service at the ghost kitchen facility that it's located in is always super helpful and friendly. They're even renovating the entire area to update the ambiance, love that. I highly recommend. 5/5 read more

Boil Daddy - Fried Oysters and Daddy Fries with a side of Daddy Sauce. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Don't order from here, unless you want old seafood. We ordered 3lbs of shrimp, crawfish and clams. Most of the clams were closed and you know if it's closed, they are unsafe to eat and were dead. The shrimp were super soft which seemed like they were overcooked. However most of the shrimp's head and legs were black, which means they aren't fresh. Crawfish was okay, definitely fresher than the clams and shrimp. One think about boil daddy was the sauce was good with lots of flavor. I really wanted to enjoy this, but this was definitely a let down. read more

Food was cool. The location off Figueroa is better. However I don't like that there is no customer service interaction. No ambiance at all. I do not think I will eat here again. read more

They operate in a ghost kitchen so it was confusing to locate if you're not familiar. Phone number is out of service so that's no help. The workers that finally came out to help were very rude. One came out, I said hi, she literally stared at me, said nothing, then went on her phone to sit down and let the other lady help. The food was outrageously overpriced for what you get. Rice was hard, hardly any sauce on shrimp. I will not be back and definitely wouldn't recommend. read more

First time ordering seafood from Boil Daddy, located inside Daisy Diner Long Beach (a ghost kitchen located near our place in Long Beach, CA), we ordered a lot for 4 people, and it was good. I've ordered food from this ghost kitchen multiple times, the brands change frequently (I swear that there are 3 birria places alone inside, all serving the exact same food at same prices), but the same set of cuisines is consistent. It's a nice set-up, optimized for delivery drivers to quickly pick up their food...and end consumers can take advantage of the same set-up. We had a soon to expire meal voucher for $96 from Delta because of our canceled flight for the previous day, so decided to try a place that allowed use of a virtual debit/cash card (there was no physical card so the easiest way was to use an ecommerce site to manually enter the number). Boil Daddy opens at 10am daily, specializing in Cajun/Vietnamese seafood boils. Placed a pickup order via Doordash at 11, and I got an email around 11:12 letting me know the order was ready. Because the package was too big to put inside a self-serve footlocker, the self-checkin kiosk told me to wait in line to pick up my order from the small pick-up area. We brought the food home, and was pleased that everything was exactly right (correct items and sauces). Boil Daddy does offer both snow crab and king crab, but it's expensive as expected...found ordering shrimp as the main course is a lot more cost efficient and almost as good...even when I wanted to splurge. I also found that the Fisherman's Lunch is a self contained seafood boil for one, and a better deal than ordering a family meal. -- order of fries ($6) was the McDonald shoestring kind and was fine, probably equal to a extra large. - 4x Fisherman's lunch ($18 each). choice of head-on shrimp (half lb), mussels, clams, plus one corn, 3 quarter wedges of red skin-on potato, and 3 sausage slices. You can also choose type of sauce (cajun, butter, or mix) and hotness (original which is no spice, mild, hot, extra hot. Got 3 mild with shrimp, and 1 hot with mussels. I added an add-on of 5 sausage slices ($4.75). - Fried Oyster Basket ($19). 8 fried oysters, fries, and side of sauce (same as above). The oysters were small, well fried, but still had that brininess which I enjoyed and it was good being dipped. - container of sauce ($6.75). Spicy. My intention is to use to make my own boil much later. Assuming it freezes well. The food was surprisingly solid, as good as the many other seafood boil places all around Long Beach. The shrimp had been thawed from frozen but wasn't mealy at all (though very messy since it was hands on and was not shelled in anyway). And don't expect the shrimp to have been deveined...it's head-on for Pete's sake. The potato was cooked through, the corn on the cob was half (instead of the cobette that I'm used to), and the sausage slices were large and tasty. The sauce was very thick and did a nice job of coating everything, and the original was fine if you don't want any hotness. They did a really good job of packaging and labeling each one, if one chose to buy individual lunches. This was one case where buying individual units instead of one large family choice was a better deal. There was enough food for my wife to have leftovers for dinner. Even though you can order directly from Daisy Diner via their website or their onsite kiosk, I've found it better to order from a 3rd party delivery service like Doordash, even for pickup. The prices are the same (which is surprising considering there must be a fee paid by the vendor for using Doordash), and there are usually some sort of special or deal (in our case, it was $23 off of any order $50+). read more

Good food for delivery! I like my food spicy, and thought it was perfectly delicious and flavorful. Have ordered from this location several times and always get a side of fries with my seafood boil. read more

Food was great, pretty fast pick up! Was a lil confusing to find the place but food was definitely worth it!

Boil Daddy - Crab legs,shrimp, and corn - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

Beware of Name Change!! New Name - Same Crap!! Grub Hub listed the restaurant as The Boil Daddy but they are now renamed The Shaking Crab - Long Beach!! I didn't realize it was the same restaurant until after I received my order and saw the address was the same. ‍ 01.26 - Boil Daddy Order - Fish was undercooked (raw in the middle) and the peel shrimp I paid extra for was delivered with the head and feet 05.11 - The Shaking Crab Order - Food was 20mins late, cold, soggy and the peel shrimp I order was delivered with the head and feed AGAIN!! Plus the mild sauce I selected was Hot AF - like burn your booty hole kinda hot! Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I could chalk up the first time to errors - staff might have had a rough night or maybe they were slammed. ‍ but wow, second time with the new name!? Uhhh, shady much? Save your money. Don't order from here. Dishonest name changes. Food is less than decent & not prepared correctly. read more

Placed an order through door dash and the delivery came after 45 minutes. it was 90 bucks for 2 lbs shrimp, lobster, and some crab legs. Flavor wise this place is good but the price is not great. and the shrimps that we got were pretty small in comparison to what I usually get at kicking crab. read more

This location of boil daddy is so good. The garlic wings and lemon pepper is too good. I come here regularly just for the wings . I tried the chicken sandwich for the first time last week and it was bomb as well read more

I wish 0 star was available. I used to order often when I had a craving for seafoods but not anymore. For the first time, a shrimp was not cleaned properly. I tasted a soil(sand) and I looked at shrimp and it obviously showed a soil in there. I eat seafood for taste and healthy stuff but if this not cleaned properly, what's the point I eat this as a healthy treat. A manager and an owner must know how their staff work and this is a manager's fault. He or she should be aware of all food safety and quality. read more

The food was tasty but they do not give you enough sauce. The fact that they charge extra for was is crazy because that should be part of the boil. read more

Not good quality or quantity for the price. The sauce is more on a sweet side. Service was quick. Not really a sit in type of place

I have ordered here a bunch of times and food was always great! Never had a problem with them.

HORRIBLE FOOD. WILL GIVE YOU FOOD POISONING AND MAKE YOU SICK!!!!!! I ordered online through uber eats and it was buy one get one free on their shrimp and rice bowls. Ate one bowl and spent the night fighting for my life in the bathroom. FOOD MADE ME VERY SICK DO NOT EAT!!!!!! read more

Trash ASF the customer service was horrible workers are rude went all the way from downtown Long Beach to crime scene SMH food was horrible I got chefs mate's combo and seamans combo horrible kept my kids up to eat this trash soo disheartening I would never recommend this place to anyone not even the homeless read more

I ordered mussels and head-on shrimp. I placed my order through Uber eats. I really prefer to pick up my food but they had a promo going on and I wanted to see how it would go. First off, I didn't receive my head-on shrimp, I got peeled instead (thanks for looking out..?) but I really had my mind set on my head-on shrimp. Then my mussels looked and tasted horrible. I mean if you look at pictures below you will see what I'm talking about. If you eat mussels then you know they shouldn't even look like that. I wasn't able to get refunded unfortunately, because UE said it wasn't their fault the food was sh*tty. So I could've kept my promo AND money to buy something else. I'll just stick to my go-to spot when it comes to seafood bc this was horrible. Honestly though I should've known it was gone be something off since they had a BOGO on seafood in the UE app. I will not be ordering from them again, delivery or pickup. Also deleted my UE account bc I really spent $ on food I had to dispose due to the restaurant not triple quality checking, knowing that the driver can't check the food. Also, just got off the phone w/ the owner (ISSAC) and he's telling me nothing is wrong w/ the mussels and they do QC all food before it goes out for delivery. I told him that's not possible if y'all sent me mussels looking like this and didn't provide me with head-on shrimp like I ordered. UPDATE** After getting off the phone with the owner, he sent me a text. Long story short, I got refunded. read more

Boil Daddy - Mussels Shrimp Peeled Off (1 lbs) - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

flavor was very good I ordered spicy and it was definitely spicy don't think I could handle anything spicier. What I will say is it was dry. If I order again I will order extra sauce because there wasn't enough to eat my rice so I pretty much just had dry white rice... 2 small pieces of potatoes and 1 small slice of sausage and 8 pieces of shrimp in the bowl. So 19$ I felt was a little over priced. For 20$ you could get a pound of shrimp that may have been more worth it. But overall flavor was good meal was good and I ordered through the site delivery was fast and efficient. No major complaints here. read more

Boil Daddy - Daddy bowl... - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

I messed up I didn't read the reviews before ordering on Uber eats. Guys don't waste your money here. Seriously!!! This place should go out of business for its bad reviews. Sauce too spicy I got EXTRA SPICY NOT A GOOD IDEA. Probably could of been better with mild and the mussels are too small they need to step their game up and upgrade to New Zealand mussels the green ones if you don't know the difference. read more

I love a good seafood , their Cajun sauces are soo good ! My favorite is the king crab legs with potatoes . 10/10 will definitely be coming back . read more

Gave me wrong order and there is no way to contact this restaurant as all the numbers do not work. I wasn't goin to complain if the food blew me away but tbh my hometown in Indiana has a better boil than this spot. That's not a good thing. Potatoes not done properly. Dry asl ordered headless shrimp and got head on shrimp. Ordered a sailers lunch thing and that didn't even come with the rice or anything. Other order wasn't supposed to have mussels but that bag got mussels. It's a lot of money to be paying for this type of service and product. It sucks bc I do enjoy the flavor of the sauce and the seafood did seem good. But there wasn't even enough sauce so I felt like I was eating plain boiled shrimp. Not impressed overall with the experience. read more

I ordered through uber eats. There are a lot of these crab boil places in long beach. I only ordered the shrimp boil which is buy one get one free. One of my only complaint is that they do not give enough sauce. I ordered the hottest sauce and it was not very hot at all. When you call the sauce OMG. I expect my butt whole to be on fire. read more

Not what was expected. The flavor was a bit bland for a seafood boil. I received a suggestion from social media, and 2 locations didn't allow you to take out but online order and pick up (the area was a little questionable in the Lon Beach location) so we left and ended up in Carson. Overall the experience was disappointing. Now, the food could have changed the experience of driving here and there, but my party and myself were disappointed completely with the flavor of the seafood boil. We did notice later that people who boasted about the place all got side orders of sauce that was poured over whatever you were eating at the moment. If only we had know in advance. Of course reviews are what you read in advance, but we had a long day at Catalina Island and didn't have time for seafood dinners on the Island and just decided to just try it! read more

Daddy's shrimp bowl absolutely amazing as well as one lb. head on shrimp like spicy marinated garlic sauce so much!

I love a good seafood boil and their Cajun sauces are amazing! My favorite is the king crab legs with potatoes and sausage. 10/10 going to get more now read more

I've ordered delivery from The Boil Daddy a few times & I like this little virtual kitchen. Everything always arrives still hot, seafood is always fresh and everything tastes delicious. My first delivery I ordered SPICY & its not spicy its HOT AF! It was seasoned so well with fresh garlic & butter but way too hot for my liking & I couldn't enjoy my meal but I decided to order again to try the other sauces. I now get just cajun/garlic butter sauce NO SPICE, even the mild has a kick. read more

Fist time ordering from here. Definitely the last. My husband and I ordered the daddy's shrimp bowl and fried shrimp basket and some corn on the side. everything was just nasty. I'm not sure if it's because we got take out or they simply don't know how to cook their food but after taking a few bites we immediately got sick. read more

I ordered the shrimp bowl and it was delicious! I ordered mine mild and it was just the right amount of spice. Pickup was also quick and easy. Will definitely come back the next time I want some tasty seafood! read more

REVIEW UPDATE: the owner or manager messaged me privately after this review and insinuated that I was dumb for ordering my food via door dash. The manager, Tori, told me that of course the fries would be cold since I ordered through door dash. Everything else was hot besides the fries so that doesn't make too much sense. My Overall review for this place was good but clearly they only want positive feedback and nothing negative. DONT spend your money here. Go somewhere else where the manager isn't a total B word. Went from 3 stars to 1. read more

I tried this place for the first time thru Uber eats I ordered the daddy bowl rice and shrimp and potatoes n sausage I didn't eat sausages they didn't look good but overall the shrimp and potatoes and rice was delicious just wish they would give u more it's only a small portion I should have ordered the pound shrimp in bag n potatoes like I do with kicking crab I had medium sauce it was tasty and sweet different I would definitely try them again idk what review were talking about they were good to me everyone had there own taste and assumptions try it yourself before u go off a person reviews I did thanks read more
