    Disappointed with my visit to Boil Daddy For $56, I expected a lot better. The shrimp came out mushy, the potatoes were still hard/undercooked, and the crab legs were overcooked to the point of being almost inedible. The sauce was genuinely tasty and honestly the only redeeming part of the meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the poor quality of the seafood. Not worth the price.

    Lobster Tail

    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..

    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.

    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.

    Mussels, Shrimp Head-On, Churros

    The takeout Mussels and Shrimp with Daddy Sauce were cooked well. The shrimp were large. The Churro with Chocolate Sauce was a tasty dessert, though some of the churros were a bit harder than others. It was nice to have a dessert option since The Boiling Crab and The Kickin' Crab don't offer one. The butcher paper is self-service.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    How have I walked by this place dozens of times and never tried it out? We went last night and we…read morewere blown away. Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

    I miss Ritters, this place is definitely NOT IT for pan roast. They're so stingy!…read more We ordered the House Special Pan Roast through Uber Eats and was extremely disappointed. For $27, my order came with only 2 clams, 2 shrimp, and ZERO andouille sausage. The menu description specifically says the House Special includes shredded blue crab, clams, mussels, andouille sausage, and shrimp. I attached photos because the amount of seafood I received was honestly ridiculous for the price. What made it even worse is that I specifically requested NO MUSSELS because I cannot eat them, yet I ended up biting into a mussel. If a customer specifically asks for an ingredient to be left out for a dietary reason, that request needs to be taken seriously. I've had the pan roast from the Temple City location and the difference is night and day. This location was extremely disappointing in comparison. Between the missing ingredients, barely any seafood, and still receiving something I specifically asked to be removed, I genuinely feel scammed paying $27 for this. I would not recommend this location at all. It's also located inside Irvine Spectrum, so there isn't a convenient parking lot right next to the restaurant. You have to park in the shopping center and walk over, which makes picking up an order even more inconvenient. Definitely not worth the price or hassle. I'll stick with the Temple City location from now on.

    Tried on the hook today and it was for sure off the hook!!! Food was very delicious and hot!! I…read moreordered the non seafood gumbo with brown rice and it was 10/10 for me. I love the spice to it and the flavor!! It was very good to me and with lots of meat and filling. For my drink I wanted a Roy Roger's, they didn't have grenadine, but John being the best ever came up with the option to try it with watermelon syrup. Boy oh boy was it sooooo tasty and good. I love how they were creative to make something similar to what I wanted. With that being said, the customer service was awesome!!! John had the best personality and handled our alterations to the fullest. I know with my fam we can be a lot because of what we don't like, but John took it like a Pro!!! Was super chill and wit! A very cool guy!! He's been working there for like 10 years too so trust his suggestions :) The ambiance is nice and really clean and they have good options of seafood to choose from. I like how after when your done eating they give you this cleanser they created to clean your hands so they won't smell like fish etc. I will definitely come back here again and try their lunch specials and shrimp!! I had a good experience here at On The hook!! Highly recommending!! -Marshay D.
