Had to come back for a second visit and it did not disappoint. I originally planned to come with my cousins, but when they canceled, I brought my mom and sister instead. It turned out even better. Everyone loved it, and it was my sister's first time trying real crab legs, which made it extra special. The pricing is fair and one bag was more than enough for the three of us. Huge shoutout to Juan. His service completely turned my mood around. He is always so attentive and genuinely makes us feel valued every time we come in. This place has easily become my favorite and experiences like that are exactly why. read more

I passed this place many times for the past few years, always wanted to try but was deterred by the emptiness of it. Finally went and tried the Fisherman's lunch - decent portion, OmG spicy level does make you cough and sweat but totally worth it. Got cajun flavor which was not salty or over powering. It's definitely worth stopping by to try. I'll be back to try other items. read more

The outdoor seating is clean and welcoming. The picture menus are a nice touch. The ordering kiosk is user friendly. Now to the food. I got the fried fish on my first visit and it was a good portion with a light, crispy flavorful batter cooked perfect! Came with fries which were okay. Second visit the crispy shrimp Yumm light crispy flavorful and a good size. What I also liked is that it did not taste fishy at all. I would get both again! The food takes a little bit long, but it's worth it for the freshness & flavors. My only small suggestion: service can be a bit more attentive and if they can please double check that everything ordered and needed is accounted for. Aside from that I would definitely come again. read more

I have been to this establishment twice in 2 weeks and was not disappointed either time. Fast and efficient service to go along with delicious food. If you like the other seafood places (boiling crab/kicking crab) you will definitely love this place. read more

Boil Daddy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Orange, California

Been looking for an easy and quick seafood boil place and this did it for me! I got the Daddy's Shrimp Bowl ($17), which came with a good amount of shrimp, potatoes, sausages and rice -- all super filling! There was so much sauce too, so the flavor was in every single bite. The service was fast. I didn't really interact with anyone since there was a kiosk to place your orders, but I received my food pretty fast right after ordering. I also went at noon on a Saturday and it was very slow. Since it was slow, it was very quiet and empty. There are a good amount of tables (it is all outdoor), so there was no problem finding a seat if you needed it. They also had a hand washing sink, which I appreciated. I would come back to try their other dishes such as the noodles and wings too. read more

Boil Daddy - Daddy's Noods to go - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Orange, California

Food and service was amazing. I've been eating Boil Daddy for over a year now. Happy they opened this spot right by my work. So flavorful and never disappoints. Love the garlic bits in the sauce. read more

We ordered 1lb of mussels & 1lb of shrimp, both with daddy sauce, and they were really good. The sauce has a lot of garlic and flavor. The garlic fries were also super tasty. The medium spice level was perfect - spicy enough to enjoy but not spicy enough to cough and have a runny nose throughout the meal. Also they have a deal that mussels are $1 off if you eat here before 3pm. The proportion of the food here feels smaller than Boiling Crab even though it's the same weight. Each pound of seafood was able to fit into those small brown cardboard to-go containers which threw us off because we didn't know if it was enough food since it was so compact. We also didn't like that we had to pay extra for the sides (sausage, potatoes) when it's usually included with 1lb+ orders at other places. We also feel like they skimped out on the sauce a little bit - other places usually give you loads of sauce that we can drench the seafood in. Boil Daddy gave only enough sauce to season the seafood. They were also very exact on the amount of salt and pepper packets they give with each pound as seen on the receipt. We also didn't like that we ordered Boil Daddy for takeout and asked for butcher paper but they said it was only for dine-in customers, even though there were barely any people there and the butcher paper looked like it was open for anyone to take if needed. Other places usually provide/include complimentary butcher paper with takeout orders. We ended up having to use our own parchment baking sheets at home. read more

We stopped in on a whim and glad we did! this place is delicious! The flavors are out of this world. Shrimp and crawdaddys just amazing. What really stood out though and made this our new go to place was the employees. Juan was the friendliest most helpful guy I have ever see at a restaurant. He made the trip. This location is lucky to have him! Thank you Juan! read more

We arrived to this location with a large crowed. We had about 14 people in our party. I didn't think they were ready to accommodate so many people at once as it's a small establishment. We waited 45 min or longer for our food. The food came out piping hot which was great. The food was good, will I come here again...absolutely. The only negatives was our rice was undercooked , which is prob due to them rushing to get our food out. The daddy noods and the daddy shrimp bowl was good. I added sausage to my bowl and to add one small sausage was $4.50. The mahalo shrimp was ok, it wasn't crispy as I thought it should have been. The fried mahalo fish is a must, prob the best thing I ate besides the daddy noods. They had grand opening prices which was very affordable. No bathroom, no indoor seating. read more

I ordered their mussels & clams to go with their daddy sauce & it was really good! I wasn't expecting it to be an outdoor spot. But I thought it was cute! It came with sliced lemons. I ordered the mild sauce and it wasn't too spicy & boiling crab mild is too spicy for me. So that was a major plus! I was so excited to eat it I didn't take a pic of the food. read more

2nd time around. First time wasn't the best and they had just opened so it's understandable. It's getting better guys. Ordered through Doordash this time. Ordered Medium Spicy and I would say it's very tolerable. Not spicy at all. Also still has a bit sweetness to it which is not a bad thing. I would definitely be coming back and try the spiciest they have, I want my stomach to ache lol. Fisherman's lunch is great for 1-2 people. Highly suggest getting it. read more

Ordering was done on the kiosk. I was a little meh about having to order on the kiosk but it was painless, easy and quick. The restaurant is an outdoor seating area. Paper covering for the tables, utensils, napkins and gloves are easily accessible. The food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back to boil daddy. This location doesn't serve alcohol which is ok. read more

Boil ZADDY!! Came here for the first time with my husband and puppy. This place is outdoors only with seating areas in both shade and the sun - perfect if you have furry members. We ordered their fish and chips, and it was one of the finest I've had. The batter is thin, crispy and well seasoned, and the fish itself is juicy and perfectly sized. We also had their Seaman's Catch combo, shrimp, garlic noodles, and crawfish. The seasoning is delicious with ample amounts of chopped garlic and less salty than other places I've tried. The service was quick and the gentleman that took our order had great suggestions for us. The owner was kind and attentive, and she ensured we had the best experience. You best believe we will be coming back! read more

Went through the reviews and seems the lower ratings may have expected more than an old taco stand. Anyway, here's my take on this place... Been coming here on and off since they opened. Have to say, wasn't initially impressed, seemed expensive and wasn't crazy about the portion. Since then have figured out the menu, get a half pound peeled off shrimp with daddy sauce, potatoes, Corn and sausage, side of rice. Price isn't too bad when you think about Joe's crabs, or boiling shrimp, it is seafood after all. I don't use the outside self order computer, just say hi and someone comes up as soon as they aren't busy getting someone else's food, never had to wait too long. Overall I'm happy with this place, yea it was a taco stand, yea no indoor seating, yea, the round tables are on the small side, yea it can be pricy... Take your time, figure out the menu and I think you'll be satisfied if not happy and you don't have to spend a couple hundred for a shrimp boil... read more

Disgusting. Boiled eggs were not hard boiled, barely soft boiled. One was broken and oozing in the sauce. Sausage was barely cooked tasted like hotdogs. Corn was cooked well but potatoes were hard as a rock. Crab clusters were small but cooked ok. Shrimp was oily & gross for $14. The place was empty and I see why it was the worse seafood I've tasted & it made me feel sick. Two stars because the staff was friendly to my husband upon pickup. read more

The crawfish boil with cajun spicing was delicious and reasonably priced. Outdoor seating only but yesterday was a perfect sunny day so sitting outside was great. Outdoor seating was spotlessly clean. Staff brought white butcher paper and lots of napkins (eating cajun boil is always messy and best done with your fingers). This was a far better lunch than another burger or chicken sandwich from down the street and for the same price. Live a little and enjoy New Orleans style cuisine served in the typical "walk up window" style here in Orange. read more

We tried the fish and chips, wings, lobster, mussels, and the crispy mahalo shrimp. Everything was delicious, tender, and tasted incredibly fresh. The service was great, and I noticed how clean the outdoor seating looked. We took our food to go and everything was packed up with care. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was amazing! The crispy mahalo shrimp with a side of sausage was so delicious and crispy. Their daddy sauce was super garlicky and in my opinion better than boiling crab! Their wings were also super crispy and juicy at the same time! But not only that, we met the owner, Hazel, and she was so welcoming and made sure we were okay throughout our whole experience! We definitely will be coming back! -Brandon and Sarinah read more

The shrimp was terrible the consistency was like a potato was terrible it crawfish was also so bland the garlic right but the shrimp was pretty good. I don't recommend this place.go to boiling crab instead read more

Yes, I did it was very delicious. I really recommend eating there. I like it better than a lot of the seafood places that have around my area. read more

Food was really really good. Solid 7/10. Juan the server/cook was phenomenal. A really nice guy. He will bring me back for sure. We tried a little bit of everything. Their spicy is not spicy to be honest. The layout is nice but it's all outside so dress warm. And right now it's super windy. But it was still worth it. Their pasta plate with shrimp and potatoe and sausage was really really good. It's a different spin on just plain garlic noodles. Their seafood was not overcooked or anything. I really want to try lobster and king crab sometime.Cajun fries weren't really Cajuny enough to be honest. But still god. Ranch did not seem homemade. read more

I've ordered here twice before the first time it was good the quality was fresh but not the second time. The second time I got it was a smaller portion the potatoes weren't cooked thoroughly and the shrimp was bad it wasn't fresh and looked like it had been sitting and didn't taste well. Coming here is a hit or miss. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

Super excited to finally have a seafood in the neighborhood. Staff was friendly and the seating area was super clean with plenty of shade and tables. There's also an outside sink too which is a nice touch. I got a lb of the shrimp with the daddy sauce and my spice level was medium. I'll pump it up a level since I kinda wouldn't have minded it being a bit spicier. Look forward to coming back read more

Enjoyed their seafood with mussels, clams, mussels, shrimp with potatoes & corn. Their churros tasted delicious . Service was great. . We even got to taste some complimentary Korean coffee . It's quite good easy to miss. I have no doubt that if they had a bigger sign, or a very visible banner, their business will do better . read more

Watch out Kickin Crab and Boiling Crab! As someone who needs Cajun shrimps every month, I am so excited this place opened up so close to my place!

The food isn't good at all. I have no idea what seasoning is being used. There was one lady working and she was using the microwave a lot. I threw my food away. We had two orders and spent $45. I was so bummed out because we were so excited to have a boiling crab type of restaurant around. The quality of the shrimp wasn't it. They felt soggy. We will not be returning. The lady that was working was very nice and helpful. (The reason for the two stars) There was just one other customer. read more

I always have the best experience visiting this restaurant! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they truly go the extra mile for their customers. I am a frequent customer here and I was pleasantly surprised when they offered me a free Coca-Cola as a treat for being a regular LOL--so sweet! I do recommend ordering over the phone instead of online because their website estimated my order would take 20-30 minutes, but it was actually ready in just 5. By the time I arrived, my food had already become cold. However, the staff resolved the issue right away and they handled the matter with kindness and understanding. Overall, The Boil Daddy has outstanding customer service and the friendliest staff you'll encounter. This is my go-to spot for seafood boil! read more

I'm truly surprised by some of these reviews. I can see a few hiccups in the service and food as they are a new establishment. I see that from the grand opening banner that they have hanging in front of the restaurant and the fact that I have been passing by numerous times and it's the first time I see the place. I had a pleasant experience. The sauce is yummy. It has a good balance of sweet, savory and spice to it. I devoured my food so fast that by the time I realized that I haven't taken pictures, it was too late. I also like that they have a half and half option because it's hard to find that at other crab boil locations. I'll definitely come by again as this is close to home. read more

Stop by for lunch while I was getting my tires changed across the street. Food was great and the service as well. Food came very timely and tasted it was nice to enjoy a meal outside I'd definitely come back again. read more

They have no indoor seating and lure people to come to their restaurant with lies. My husband called asking if they had availability for 12 people because we're celebrating our gender reveal with family. They lied to him and said they can definitely save us a table and sit us all together and that they will "prepare the tables" for our group. When we got there it was a cheesy looking place with NO inside seating. Shame on the staff who answered the phone and lied to him and made it seem like a nice restaurant with indoor seating and waiter service. SHAME ON YOU FOR LURING PEOPLE WITH LIES JUST TO MAKE MONEY. read more
