Great food...good drinks ..staff was friendly and excellent... definitely a stop to make when u are in San Diego

Delicious food with the best customer service. Especially the food boil/ amazing. Good staff

Was visiting from out of town and decided to check it out. Did not disappoint at all. The food was good and we had great service. They threw in a little birthday treat for my son. Will definitely go back. read more

Came back a year later, and the service is just as friendly and welcoming. I took my mom here for her birthday dinner and we all enjoyed our seafood boil feast. We indulged in their Family Combo deal called the Captain's Catch, which was enough for 4-5 people. It includes head on shrimp, peeled shrimp, clams, mussels, 5 sausages, potatoes, and 2 corn cobs. I did feel as though there could be more of one item, and we ordered an additional 1lb of crawfish. We tried something new and we loved their chicken wings and crab cakes. They were great appetizers! Service was humorous and they are a little short staffed but still courteous. I'd continue to come as this location is not in a busy parking area and the food has been consistent since opening! read more

Q U A L I T Y! The patio(dog friendly) is adorable and perfectly shaded. I noticed there's some warmers so my husband and I are looking forward to coming back during colder evenings to enjoy The staff was super kind, patient and helped us in deciding what to order. Not only was the server who assisted us extremely kind and checked in often but other staff checked in on us as well. My husband and I truly appreciated that. Now let's talk about the food! Absolutely amazing!! The seasoning and the quality of the food was obvious within the first bite. Our mouths were watering as the server was bringing the bag our way because we could smell the seasoning and all the flavors. Kudos to the kitchen/cooks! We had the appetizer of Calamari and regular fries....a must! The sauce it came with was divine We really had no negative feedback when it came to this restaurant and are looking forward to coming back read more

The food was really good. The prices were a bit high. The place was fairly clean and the location was in a great spot. The servers were provided great services. The thing I didn't like was the little expo machine that delivered our beverages. Fun little expensive date with my husband. read more

First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Daddy's Noods and the Snow Crab Legs. I ordered through delivery service so the cost was wildly excessive with all the additional fees the app charges but the cost of the food itself seems on par with other crab boil type places. It seems they charge by cluster and not by pound. I don't know if that's better or worse for anyone but I think I'd rather by pound. The crab legs also came with corn, sausage and potatoes without it being an added expense. Compared to some other places I would typically just order 2lbs of crab legs with no extras and I would maybe spend around $100. The legs I got did seem a little small for the price of $69/2 clusters but I can't say that for certain or assume that is the norm. Take that for what it's worth. The flavor of the sauce is really nice. I got a mild garlic butter and Cajun and it was delicious. Still had a little heat for mild, but very good. Same with the Noods. I got non spicy since they were for my toddler and they tasted very good. I almost stole them from her. I would eat here again but in person to save on the delivery fees. read more

The food was good! The fish tasted fresh and it was delicious. Service was great so was the ambiance. It was HOT inside but our waitress turned the AC on and it was a lot better after that. 78 for a restaurant is way too hot. read more

First things first. The service was serving! Ross made our night. He was the best! From being greeted upon entry, an explanation of how it all goes down, quick turnaround of receiving our food after ordering, checking on us, etc. SERVE-ing! Next the reason we came in. The food! I always order from Uber Eats when staying in San Diego for work but with hubby in town decided to go in person. As always, it was delicious! We had the crab leg cluster that comes with sausages, potatoes, and corn and added peeled shrimp and extra corn. Sauce. Mild spice Daddy sauce. Delish. Not too spicy. Just enough to let you know it's hidden in all that garlic buttery goodness. To top it off, we had the you Oreo banana pudding. Chef kiss. A perfect way to end a perfect dinner. I. Will. Definitely. Be. Back. You should give it a try. You'll be happy you did! read more

Fresh, flavorful seafood with generous portions and beautiful decor. Friendly staff, easy location.

Wonderful service! Such nice staff. And great food! Came with a great amount of food.

Hello Yelpers! Drove down to San Diego today to celebrate a family member graduating from Marine basic training. They chose "Boil Daddy" for the occasion, and it didn't disappoint. My wife and I shared the Mahalo Shrimp plate, while other family members went all in on the seafood combo boil--which they said was fantastic. The real star, though, was that Daddy Sauce (medium heat). It's garlicky, rich, and full of umami--seriously, you could put this stuff on anything and it would be a winner. I'm determined to figure out the recipe someday. Finding the place was a little tricky for me, but once there, parking was plentiful and the service was warm and friendly. Definitely a spot worth coming back to! read more

Absolutely loved Boil Daddy! Reminded me of one of my favorites back home. Their boil is less soupy and is dry but it is very flavorful. The service was great and we loved the outdoor seating area to enjoy the San Diego weather. We definitely would return and recommend their special sauce. A great fun and family friendly spot too! My kids loved eating on the table! read more

Delicious! My first seafood boil and loved it! Spiced were on top and our server Sabrina was amazing! Highly recommend.

I found this business on Ubereats, but had never heard of it before. The shrimp over rice was so good! I ordered it with all the sauces and mild. The flavor was perfect and it was such a great portion for a great price. I've since ordered from them a few times and am hoping to check them out in person soon! read more

Enjoyed dinner here while staying at the hotel nearby for work. Came here for a seafood boil and overall had a really good experience. The service was the standout -- friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. My server Dipess checked in often and made sure we had everything we needed, which goes a long way. The seafood was well-seasoned and cooked properly, with plenty of flavor. The portion size was generous and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely recommend checking Boil Daddy out if you're in the area! read more

Ordered the boatswains catch combo. Added mussels, and egg. Did not receive the sausage or the potatoes in the combo even though it states that that is what it comes with. They charge 6.50 for sausage and 5.50 for potato but neither in my mix. Problem is I ordered this through Uber and there is no form to get a partial refund for the missing items even though the combo states that that's what it comes with. Do you better because people pay way too much money for this. Flavor was good nothing to write home about but overall giving it a three because for the price that I paid and to be missing items is ridiculous. read more

My mom and I visited for the first time on a Saturday lunch. Boil Daddy in Point Loma has a fantastic location and truly great food and great pricing. No need to go to convoy! However, service was truly a miss. It was slow, unorganized, and the staff didn't seem attentive at all. read more

Came here for the first time during their grand opening and their free event and it was a lot of fun and really good! The ambiance and the employees made the experience exciting and enjoyable. It was really busy but the line was moving fast! The food was fresh and everything labeled so you knew what you were getting. When things ran out they kept refilling it. You were allowed to get as much as you wanted and you could get seconds as well. It was really juicy and not too spicy which was great! read more

4 minutes ago New Wow did this place exceed our expectations. Sheets on the table,plastic gloves and bibs ready to go the sauce and the food was excellent and pair it with a nice double IPA it is even better. Crisp jazz tunes in the background a plus.

They even have robots delivering drinks to the tables. How much more can you ask for Ask for MJ when you go he is top-notch notch!!! read more

Fantastic experience. The seafood (I got lobster tail and my partner got the snow crab) was fresh and delicious with good portions. The sauce was delicious, and I ended up dipping my fries in it afterward. Service was excellent and attentive. They even gave me some seasoning in a little container when I mentioned how much I liked it on the fries. Would absolutely come back. Great vibes! read more

The first SD location of The Boil Daddy has debuted at Liberty Station in the Point Loma neighborhood. The suite still has a temporary banner hanging above the entrance to indicate the business is now operating. They will remain in a soft opening phase until the grand opening on April 9th. Parking was fairly easy as there were plenty of spaces for the trio of businesses along this side of the plaza. The inside decor had a nautical theme which was typical of seafood boil places. The front of the menu featured the step-by-step instructions on how to create your own seafood boil. Preset combinations for larger parties were available. Chicken wings, po' boy sandwiches, entrees, and sides were the other savory offerings. The back side of the menu listed the beverages and desserts. I decided against a boil and went with two choices from the Daddy's All Day section... a Crab Cake Appetizer and Daddy's Noods. The first was two crab cake patties served with a side of french fries. Ketchup and tartar sauce were provided as dips. The fries were thin cut and hot out of the fryer. The crab cakes were alright as the crust was mealy and not as light and crispy as other spots where I have ordered this item. The second was a bowl of linguine pasta served with peeled shrimp and topped with parmesan cheese and parsley. I was asked to choose a sauce and a level of spiciness. My picks were the Daddy (mix of garlic butter and cajun) and mild spicy. The garlic presence was strong and to my surprise, there was a fair amount of heat. In hindsight, I should have went with the original which had no spiciness as the mild gave me a case of the sweats. I finished the appetizer and ended up taking home some of the noodles after consuming the shrimp. The prices were reasonable, and the service from the staff was very good. I gave a four star rating for my dining experience at The Boil Daddy. read more

Boil Daddy, a seafood restaurant, recently opened inside the Liberty Station complex, plenty of free parking steps away. There's outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Indoor seating with a bar section and TV monitors. This restaurant opened last Friday and everything looked clean and the decor was aesthetically nicer than expected from floor to ceiling. The staff were cordial, helpful and efficient, special thanks to Jasmin for being super nice to Me and Fendi. The menu offers mostly seafood but there are additional items you order. Unfortunately, the menu does NOT offer a lunch menu or happy hour specials. I would be interested in ordering 1/8 portion of all the seafood versus 1/2 pound. Ordered a chilled Pellegrino H20, the crab cake appetizer and fries just in case I don't like my main dish. As it turns out, the french fries were crispy and good but the crab cakes were not that great; presented with two flat patties, that upon tasting a piece of one...tasted more like tuna cakes and would not repeat ordering :( To be honest, I'm not big on cracking shellfish with sauce that will get my hands messy, splatter on my clothes, regardless of plastic gloves and a plastic bid, I would rather eat shellfish already de-shelled... with that in mind, I ordered the Shrimp Bowl with Daddy sauce which is a blend of garlic butter and Cajun sauce and got it mild for spiciness. Even though I can handle eating 'burn your tongue' spice level, I wanted to taste the flavor of the sauce, and glad I did, it was Delish!! The last time I had a version of this kind of food, involving cracking seafood was years ago when I was a child, with my family while dining outdoors in Redondo Beach Pier. Both my Mommy and Daddy spoiled Me by cracking the shellfish and prepping it for me to eat, it's laborious but looked fun, perhaps it can also be fun here at Boil Daddy! Recommend read more

Boil Daddy has some really good Cajun flavors, and when the food is good it really hits the spot. Unfortunately, the quality is not always consistent. A few times the shrimp seemed overcooked or not very fresh and ended up mushy, which was disappointing. Because of this inconsistency, I plan to start ordering from another Cajun seafood restaurant where the quality has been better. It is disappointing because I enjoy Boil Daddy's flavors, but the quality issues make it hard to keep ordering. read more

This place has great service & delicious Seafood Boil! I would definitely come back to this place again!

Service was just okay. Ambiance was whatever. Both nothing to write home about. I'd say below average for both. The food was so bland. The spice levels were way less spicy than a normal seafood boil spot. Server told us the medium burned her lip . We literally couldn't taste any spice. Asked for a side of the hottest sauce....it was like a mild at any other seafood spot. The sauce had a sweet tomato like taste. Didn't taste like Cajun at all in my opinion. Then the bill was just outrageous. I would be upset paying that much even for great quality seafood boil but this wasn't even good. Will not be back and do not recommend. Stay away. If the people in these reviews loved the food that much, they would be BLOWN AWAY by The Boiling Crab or Kickin' Crab. read more

Found this spot after craving seafood boil in the mission bay area. We ordered 2 order orders of crab claw, a pound of shrimp and half a pound of craw fish. With the crab you receive corn, potatoes and sausages. We also ordered the mixed seasoning. Everything was delicious and the servers made sure we were well taken care of. The vibes were excellent! They were blasting island reggae music and it was a fun time. read more

This place truly touched us tonight. The service at Boil Daddy is not just good -- it's from the heart. The BEST service you'll ever have! You can feel the kindness, the attention, and the genuine care from the moment you walk in. They didn't just serve us food -- they gave us an experience. And the food... absolutely amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor and made with love. It's the kind of meal that brings everyone closer around the table and leaves you talking about it long after you leave. Thank you for going above and beyond and making our time so special. We'll remember it -- and we'll be back. Five Stars are not enough! read more

We were staying at the Hampton inn nearby and came across this place! Dipesh, our friendly server, helped us decide on our order and gave excellent recommendations (and welcomed us into the place with a smile!) We ordered the fish and chips, along with 1 pound of shrimp with a mix of sauces. What I loved most about this place (besides the service) is that the shrimp were cleaned really well - very few crawfish places actually clean the shrimp's alimentary canal and we saw it was very clean. The sauce was bomb, and the fish and chips were so flavorful and delicious. Everything came hot and steaming - and fast to boot. Definitely coming to this spot again! Thank you to Dipesh for the excellent service and for sharing his lovely stories, cheers. read more

The price of this place was cheaper than expected, especially being so close to the airport. I wish the bag of seafood would've had more sauce in it. But, I guess I did see on the menu that you could've paid more for sauce. Also requesting for salt, pepper and lemons was kind of a hassle there. Expected everyone to get their own little dipping cups, but they only came out with two at first and when asking again for more they only gave us another two when there was a party of 8. They did have TVs playing sports, but was limited on what they could play. A lot of parking outside the establishment. read more

Jen was our kind, friendly, outstanding server who provided exceptional customer service. Jen made sure we had a positive dining experience from start to finish. The menu offers a good variety of seafood boil, sandwiches, bowls and fried food. I had noodles with my seafood boil and that was a great idea. The medium spicy level wasn't too spicy, I may turn it up a little next time and get the OMG spice to get the right heat. read more
