    Came here with my parents and we enjoyed their seafood boil as well as other food items. We got the spicy daddy sauce with our seafood boil, shrimp garlic pasta, fried fish and wings. I really loved the fried fish with the spicy daddy sauce on the side. The service was nice and restaurant was clean. Would definitely come back for some seafood boil!

    Today I checked out Boil Daddy in Stanton and went all in on the seafood feast! We ordered lobster, snow crab, clams, mussels, peeled shrimp, and head-on shrimp tossed in their signature Daddy Sauce. Everything was fresh, juicy, and packed with bold Cajun garlic flavor. The garlic shrimp pasta was rich and buttery, while the steamed rice paired perfectly with the sweet shrimp. We also grabbed chicken wings and fries for the table, and they were crispy and flavorful. To finish things off, we treated ourselves to the fried ice cream puff for dessert. It was warm, crispy, sweet, and the perfect ending to a seafood feast. If you're a seafood lover looking for a fun, affordable boil spot in Orange County, Boil Daddy is definitely worth a visit!

    A couple of friends and I were craving seafood boil but the popular restaurant had a two hour wait time. So I checked Yelp and found this location less than five minutes from. I was excited because the rating was high, but it should have went through the reviews a little better. They are located in a shopping center plaza with plenty of parking and only indoor seating. There was no line and a father/son were eating and I asked them, but they thought of the food and they said it was great. I proceed to order one of their combo meals with the Cajun Daddy house sauce mild. I also ordered a side of hot sauce. We also ordered a pound of crawfish and a pound of clams and an order of fries. The service was basic. They put out a paper on our table and brought out our food. They are very skimpy on the lemon, salt and pepper. You have to keep asking for more and they give you very little each time. Let me start off with the fries - they were soft, not crispy and lacked flavor. The seafood is not fresh. I repeat it is not fresh, it is frozen seafood. However, they prepare it, it is obvious that nothing is seasoned or marinated. Their house sauce, which is the daddy sauce didn't do any justice for the seafood. Highly disappointed, especially that we spent a pretty penny. I stopped eating the crawfish and the clams altogether. I continued eating the combo which came with a lobster, crab, legs, and shrimp with the head on. I just could not find any of the seafood tasty. The lobster was terrible, extremely overcooked and chewy. The shrimp, same thing. The crab, it was acceptable. The best thing in this bag was the sausage. There was also potatoes and corn, but I didn't bother to try it. So if you are looking for something quick with no line, come here. But if you want quality and are willing to wait, go somewhere else. I was quite surprised to see a lot of pick up orders taking place.

    The mussels by the pound (I didn't take a good picture of them while we were eating)

    The restaurant is small but they sure do put out some great food !!! Service was great, she covered our table which turned out to be a great idea !!! We ordered fried oysters, and fish and chips (both came with fries which you can have plain or cajun style !) we ordered one plain one Cajun . Then we got an order of one pound of mussels , they come with Cajun sauce or the garlic butter sauce or the two mixed together!! We choose the garlic butter Cajun sauce. When I said it the server taking the order said "good choice" and she was right !!!!! Not gonna lie the sauce is a little messy (they do provide gloves and a bib) but so DELICIOUS!!!!!! So good !!!

    Had a craving for Cajun shrimp and this place did not disappoint. For being delivered it was so fresh and still warm. I'm giving a 4 star just because the only thing I did not like was the corn, it was pretty bland. The shrimp and fries on the other hand SO GOOD!!! I asked for extra sauce in the bag and it was so flavorful and juicy!

    First time visitor Located in a small strip lot Plenty of parking Indoor dining yes No outdoor dining Order in or to go DoorDash had a special upon ordering for picking or delivery Clean interior, one main dining area, 5-7 tables at most? Greeted upon arrival to pick up order The gal confirmed the order placed and name on order Piping hot, came with utensils, smelled great, and lemon wedges served on the side Order 1/2 shrimp head on and 1/2 mussels and 5 potato (shy of 25 after my damage) with all the sauces mild It's not as saucy as other places but garlic loaded which I love and Cajun tang Mussels were cooked properly but didn't necessarily absorb the flavor and watch out for many cracked mussels shells Potato were tender and boiled and as it sat in the sauce more became tastier Shrimp with head on meaty cooked perfectly easy to peel Would come back. Pricing similar to other locations. Different lunch specials. Seafood boil hit the crave. Seems easy for Togo, solo dining, family Dining, date nite

    this seafood boil spot is not talked about enough! they have so many delicious combos and their daddy's sauce is a must! every single they load up all of their sides and all the portions here are hugeee. my favorite items were definitely the snow crab legs and the fish & chips! the service here is great and they have plenty of daily specials to check out! i would definitely recommend!

    Regular spice level

    Surprised to find such a gem! Clean and casual environment. Had regular spice level seasoning: crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, sausage, corn and mini potatoes mixd in bag and served up on butcher paper on table. Made to order fresh - not too salty - was flavorful and delicious. Had w side of rice and also some ramen noodles. Put on the bib and gloves they give you and dive in. Appreciate the thoughtful details! Courteous staff. Will be back to try some of the plates.

    i was craving seafood boil and i decided to give this place a try because people on tiktok hyped it up. we got 1lb crawfish 1lb shrimp and added corn & potatoes. we started with an order of the cajun fries and they were cooked perfectly. the fries are thick cut with a light crunch and not too much seasoning. the seafood was cooked perfectly as well. this is the first place ive been to where the crawfish shell was soft and easy to peel. even the claws came out easily. the sauce they make is on the sweeter side so keep that in mind. overall, i really enjoyed the food and i will definitely come back here.

    What I got: Combo 1 : 3lbs of all shrimp…read more (with potatoes and corn ) (Sauce: the crab shack style) Garlic Noodles Clam Chowder Pina Colada Fried Oysters with Fries I love this place! It's my go to seafood restaurant in Gardena, I'm glad I found this location in cypress. Everything was soo delicious and worth the price! The ambiance is casual and plenty of seatings! This location is huge! They have cute beach vibes inside! Good for any type of parties or celebrations. Service is amazing! Everyone was friendly. The server Sheena was very nice, helpful and recommended us the best deals! We came in an hour before they close and really appreciate her taking care of us! Crab shack is my favorite place and my go to if I'm craving seafood boil! Their crab shack style sauce is super delicious! I got mild because it can get really spicy. The flavors are definitely hitting! The portion is definitely good for sharing! I love the appetizer and other main dishes. Soo many options to choose from you definitely won't get bored! The clam chowder , fried oysters with fries and garlic noodles definitely complimented well with the 3lbs shrimp we got! I also got pina colada to balance the taste and it's very refreshing! We definitely left feeling full, satisfied and happy! I will definitely comeback to this place and recommend this to my friends and family!

    We came here on Good Friday evening, after leaving another seafood boil spot(they had a long wait)…read more We were seated after a few minutes, and orders placed about 815pm. We got the combo #2 which came with your choice of head on shrimp, clams and crab (snow crab). We got the crab shack house sauce with medium spicy. All this seafood is steamed in a bag, comes with corn, potatoes and sausage pieces. Everything was quite tasty. The fries are crispy and had a generous cheese sprinkle of Parmesan. Sweet potato fries also taste great. Be prepared to dig in with bare hands - they do provide thin gloves and disposable bibs. I got steamed rice but maybe didn't need it. The one pound peeled shrimp in garlic butter no spice was quite tasty. The three servers were completely slammed. But they did keep things running well- between taking orders to each table, & serving refills , bussing tables and closing out bills. Communal sink for washing. I think part of etiquette is to NOT rinse out your mouth here. It's used by everyone after all. I do wish the floor was was in better condition - it's a bit rough uneven and slippery.

I really like that it is spacious (easy to walk around) and it had some funny and cool decor - it had an alligator display on the wall haha. There was also ample parking outside.

It was so yummy. * Peeled Shrimp - This was juicy and delicious! * Calamari - Very crispy and the dipping sauce was good as well. It was a lot of food for us and we had take some home.

It's all I ate, but it was a good value, good size shrimp and nice clean and crisp fry. Staff was great, although I wish they had lemons available, they only had limes. The batter of the shrimp could have used some seasoning, but the cocktail sauce was very good at making up for it. I was disappointed that some of the beef items from previous menus online were not on the menu, but their selection was still decent. TL;DR Fried Shrimp 7/10 -Good size -Good crispiness -Good cocktail sauce -Had limes/no lemons -Lacks seasoning

    I've driven past Hot N Juicy Crawfish in Fountain Valley many times but never stopped in until now…read more We were looking for a happy hour that ran into the evening, and their 3-7 PM happy hour was exactly what we needed. There were five of us and were seated immediately on a Wednesday at 530pm. We ordered the Cajun fries, mozzarella sticks, shrimp po'boy, catfish po'boy, green mussels, no-head shrimp, fresh clams, and frozen crawfish (they were out of fresh crawfish and étouffée). Everything was so good that we ordered a second round of almost everything again but with black mussels and head-on shrimp. The head-on shrimp was definitely better than the no-head shrimp. Everything was coated in the Hot N Juicy seasoning, and it was delicious. My favorite was the fresh clams--they were a great size, packed with flavor, and had a subtle sweetness that paired perfectly with the seasoning. The head-on shrimp was my second favorite, followed by the mussels. The frozen crawfish was surprisingly good, but I'm looking forward to trying the fresh crawfish next time. The Cajun fries were tasty, but the portions are small, so we ended up ordering two baskets. The mozzarella sticks were just okay and not something I'd order again. Several of us ordered margaritas (I had the mango), but I wouldn't recommend them. They come in a tall glass instead of a traditional margarita glass and tasted more like a soju-based cocktail than a margarita. Service was decent, but a little slow considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, the food exceeded my expectations, and the happy hour prices make this a great value. I'll definitely be back for the fresh crawfish and, especially, the clams!

    I visited this establishment for evening rations after Sunday evening church service…read more I was seated rather promptly. I asked for "wooder" to drink and it had a rather strong taste of chlorine. Because of the chlorine taste I am dinging this establishment one point. I ended up ordering Dr. Pepper and got free refills. I really wish Pepsi would have been available. I ordered the Catfish Basket which had four pieces of catfish and French Fries. The food was tasty but I really should have ordered the catfish without any spices. Men's washroom was clean but lacked paper towels so I am dinging this establishment one point for that. As far as personal appearance of the employees is concerned I am glad to see the guys wore their t shirts tucked in which I consider to be professional. I did notice one of the employees wore Black Levi's. At the conclusion of my visit I was given a peppermint and a little moistened hand towel which I thought was a nice touch. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C.

    Folks always talk about how there are certain types of restaurants they avoid. Mostly it's because…read more they don't like the taste of the cuisine. Or maybe they like the cuisine, but for health reasons they've been told to avoid eating it. I know for me I just haven't come around to a lot of Asian cuisines that are focused on high vegetable and low protein content. But to this day Toby and I have never shared a seafood boil together. She has a germaphobe reaction to eating food with her hands and there's no easy way to knife-and-fork stuff like shrimp, crawfish, crab, or lobster. She's offered to get something else like fish n' chips or a plain steak or something, while I get myself a boil. However, one of the joys of boils is digging into a mound of Cajun-flavored seafood together as a group effort. A wondrous temple to the art like Roux Seafood Kitchen would be wasted on her. I couldn't get enough of their shrimp and crawfish. They were both plump, flavorful, and disassembled easy in my hands. At a lb. each, I was more than stuffed at meal's end. I think the only thing that could've made it better is if I had ordered a lobster tail in there. That would've been my ideal order. The service was great here for my party. The drinks were refilled quickly, the food was brought out in an efficient manner, and even the order taking was controlled in what kind of have been haphazard conditions. I liked the ambiance too. The dining room was a spacious and accommodating. The music was low. And the crowds were busy but not super full, which is where I like it. Nobody was on top of each other at neighboring tables and the noise level wasn't drowning. All in all, I think this is the perfect example of a seafood boil joint. The only thing that could've made it better is if my oldest eating buddy (and ex) could've miraculously gotten over her condition and joined me. That's the dream.
