    Lobster Tail
    Liz U.

    Ordered one of the combo meals for $85.. First lobster tail color was fine, but very rough and had absolutely no flavor at all.. 2nd lobster tail is literally black.. Boil Daddy please make this right..

    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.

    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.

    Wow , I went to boil daddy and tried they have. Wow the food that I got was packed with flavors, not sure with other restaurants in Orange. But boil daddy hits . It's bussin , the flavor and spice taste amazing . I'm coming back again and try different things. They even have churros and ice cream which is awesome. This is 10 out of 10 . yo this so good

    Daddy's Noods to go

    Food is delicious. I've had the daddy's moods and the shrimp bowl and both are flavorful and tasty. Definitely would come again.

    Butcher paper for dine-in customers only

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fisherman's Lunch
    Fern A.

    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.

    Haven't eaten here yet, waiting for food now. Here's menus! Looks good, smells good, no crowd, outdoor seating, tables are dirty but nbd.

    amazing service from XL , great customer service and fast response time to helping our needs , super friendly too ! Food was amazing 10/10 and prices are perfect for the serving size. Definitely a spot to check out.

    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!

No one acknowledged me until I finally had to say something myself. That alone was frustrating. What made it worse was the manager Alexander. He was extremely rude and dismissive instead of apologetic or helpful. After I spoke up they finally sat me but then I was left at the table without a server. It felt completely unorganized and unprofessional. There's no excuse for that level of service especially when the restaurant isn't crowded. Definitely disappointed and won't be returning. Alexander should not be the manager let alone in foodservice. worst experience after explaining my frustrations to Alexander, he had the nerve to ask me if I want to go to the back and help disbelief.wow

I stopped by for an early dinner on my way back to San Diego last weekend. My friend and I each got the bulgogi garlic noodles (I added the egg but for $2.50 not sure it added a lot of flavor or value to the dish), shared the wings and an order fries. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee on the cashier's recommendation--good suggestion, nice flavor without an overpowering amount of sugar. The wings were fantastic. Fries were fair, good portions and flavorful. I liked the noodles but weren't blown away. Everything was very soft, not a lot of textural change. The portion was generous with lots of bulgogi beef. The service was great--friendly and responsive. They have a small lot which was fine at 530pm on Sunday but probably problematic at lunch or normal dinner hours. My one complain was dirty dining room. Maybe it was just after the lunch rush, but the tables and floor could have used some wiping and the trash cans were full. Nice easy meal stop off the freeway at Orange.

    Their rice is not fully cooked. How can an establishment let something so basic go unchecked?…read more Less importantly I wouldve preferred their grilled shrimp unshelled. And their garlic noodles and steak were bland. Lastly, I had to repeat my order (of two items) several times.

Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable about the plans for the Draft and managed to take care of the overwhelming amount of people that were in attendance. Everything arrived fresh to our table as expected, and the beers were nice and cold (honestly not much else you can ask for). I think their prices have gone up a bit, but drinks are still cheaper than most other places ($4 draft beer is hard to come by these days). The wings were a little bit on the dryer side, but still tasted good. I'd definitely come back to watch a game and grab a beer with friends, but probably wouldn't come if I was in a time crunch because things do move on the slower side.

My friend and I arrived a little before 1 pm and we were told there's a bit of a wait as it was busy, more like only two servers that I saw waiting on tables. We were guided to a table that wasn't very clean about 5 minutes after we arrived. It was about 10 minutes until a server took our order. Not too bad of a wait. Food was OK, although I was disappointed with the boneless chicken wings. Looked more like seasoned chicken nuggets. Boneless Wing Stop chicken wings are larger. Street tacos and fries were better as was the chips and salsa, queso, guacamole dips. Overall, dining experience was OK, but seeing a dirty table that I wiped with the Handy Wipes that I had in my backpack just didn't set the time off on a positive note.

    I was super excited to try Jolene's when I saw the advertisement online! I was even more excited…read moreto know that lazy dog was behind this new restaurant... I'm a regular patron and enjoy their menu and food quality as well as the atmosphere. The flavors all look very interesting and I ended up trying the Nashville hot bone in as well as the Kung Pao boneless. The boneless wings were far better than expected, great portion size, excellent amount of breading and texture as well as a decent sauce. Something in the sauce is a little bit reminiscent of oyster sauce, The first few wings are great, then the sauce gets a little bit redundant afterwards. Maybe some acidity could help lighten it up a little bit? I was most excited about the Nashville hot and was really hoping for big juicy bone in wings with great texture! I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad... The Nashville hot sauce is great, just the right amount of heat and acidity you can keep going back for more! Best part is, it's not too salty! The wings are really good size, large and juicy! Where they fall short is in texture... The skin is soft and soggy, reminiscent of raw chicken thigh skin. These Wings didn't get hot enough to even render the fat immediately under the surface of the skin. It made the texture unbearable, I actually peeled most of the skin off of all of the wings before eating them as the texture ruined the experience. I know they were not, but I feel like they were boiled instead of fried. I guess I am just stuck making wings at home as no one in Southern California can seem to get this right... I really wanted to like these and was really excited about them, not a big boneless wing eater, but it's the only thing I'd go back for, if I went back. Jolene's if you're listening please fix this wing texture and either give me a crispy skin or a crunchy coating. I eat wings once a week and would love nothing more than to eat them there!!! Also I had the umami sauce as well as the Nashville hot ranch, both were great, neither were overpowering and both were light enough to allow me to taste the wing sauce underneath.

One thing to note: if you order the XL pizza, the crust is much thinner than the regular sizes.

My current favorite is the 3 Finger Combo: 3 tenders, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, and a fountain drink for under $12. My son is VERY picky when it comes to chicken tenders (usually just eating the breading and not the chicken). However, he ate EVERYTHING! Their sauce is also a MUST! I suggest ordering additional original sauces for your order. I love dipping my toast in it too! Pricing is very reasonable compared to other fast food restaurants. The quality is definitely there! I've only been to the drive thru (there are 2 lanes). Highly recommend!
