Me sweating and enjoying the wings and pasta and lobster
Theo K.

Really good food! The other Cajun chains can feel the quality dip from their seafood sticking to the shells and watery sauces at least in past year or two. Was craving and brought my lawyer to enjoy (Haderlein of H&K law, employment law!). Really good service and ranch sauce made in house. Lobster was good and the poop track cleaned out, good size. Cajun fries and sausage were good! Lawyer ordered extra spicy so was bracing but wasn't too spicy where you can taste everything including the garlic and other. Noodles was good and picked up the sauce and garlic notes. Service was on point. Interior has that whimsy I'm starting to appreciate more vs millennial minimalist other stores. Good vibes inside and the music was throwback and solid. Wings were good and flavorful and more like Korean fifties chicken style and big. Table next to us ordered more wings after they devoured their first order, and it was their first time trying Boil daddy!

I have been looking for a local seafood boil place that rivals or even comes close to Kickin' Crab. I think it's safe to say that I've officially found that place. Not only was the sauce just as delicious, the quality and quantity of seafood seemed to surpass that of the Boil Daddy rival! I ordered the spiciest one which had a good kick, but I think it could have been spicier. Definitely not anything too hot to handle. What impressed me just as much as the food, was the service and care provided by Joe, the GM. He was extremely attentive and tended to our every need. You could tell he truly cared about the customer experience. He even provided us a complimentary cheesecake which was amazing! The bar looked amazing and they had plenty of booze available, though I didn't partake. I will definitely be back here in very chance I get as this is my type of place! Bravo Boil Daddy

Stopped in here during a holiday weekend a few weeks back and found the overall experience fine, but nothing super memorable. When I walked in there were no workers in the restaurant and the couple in front of me were whispering to each other trying to decide if they should leave. Someone eventually popped out of the back, but a single waiter/host for the entire restaurant meant he was stretched thin. The dining room is pretty drab. The music was low. The two or three other tables of people were quiet as well. These kinds of crab spots are all about being a bit fun, but that wasn't really happening here. The food itself was solid enough. I went with a cluster of snow crab legs, clams and the sausage, potatoes and corn that come with it. Sauce could have used a bit more kick and was pretty oily. The crabs were cooked very well and tasted fresh. The clams were pretty much mush. This is my second or third visit over the years and it feels like they may be in a cutting corners stage. Unfortunate, because my first visits here were pretty good. Not horrible in a pinch if you're craving a seafood boil, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it.

Looking for another great Cajun seafood spot in West LA? Boil Daddy have got a big parking lot, super convenient. The Cajun sauce here is authentic and mouthwatering. The lobster combo comes with two huge lobster tails and your choice of peeled or unpeeled shrimp. My must-haves? Corn and sausage--done just right in that Cajun flavor. Plus, so many wing options--our favorite is the soy garlic. Perfect for date night, game night, or a fun night out with friends! IG : socalhkfoodies

I have ordered from here before but this time I fumbled. I typically order the mild spice level but tbh it doesn't have much spice so this time I decided to order medium spice level. Big mistake. My lips were on FIRE. Milk didn't even help that much. It was inedible so I washed off the sauce lmao. Luckily I had ordered shrimp in mild flavor so I was able to use that sauce for the crab legs that were medium spice. Learn from me and don't order the medium unless you enjoy your tongue and lips on fire and numb! I placed an online order for pick up. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of tables inside for dining. They also have a bar area for drinks. The had a step and repeat inside which was cute. There is some parking on the side of the building so that was nice.

Such a cute establishment! First time trying it but it was a to go order. It was packaged very well and stayed hot until I got home. Sauce was great next time I'll do mild instead of original I like a little kick. I absolutely love that the potatoes are petite some places would give you whole regular sized potato lol service was friendly well staff member who took my order. I'll def be back to dine in the vibes are cool & they have a bar!!!

I love cajun seafood! This place is great for seafood plate with a lot of flavors. My friend didn't really eat much usually but this time she ate like going to an AYCE. The flavor is just right and not too salty or spicy. The rice plates are also really good. Servers are very friendly. They tried to converse with us. Great vibe and wonderful food!

Daddy's Noods

In LA for the weekend and stumbled upon this spot after a day at the beach! I'm blown away. The portions were incredible with my pasta and came with sooooo much shrimp. All of my friends loved their food as well. Highly recommend!!

1lb crawfish

We were looking for a seafood boil spot in LA and came across Boil Daddy and decided to check it out. The service was great! The waitress, Sam, helped us out and was very attentive and nice! We ordered the calamari and 2 lb of crawfish. The food was decently good, but the calamari was more fries than calamari. There was barely a hand full of calamari and a whole mountain was fries. It was good but def think they should have more calamari on there. The crawfish sauce was good, but it also wasn't a lot. I'm used to my seafood being in a lot of sauce/broth. I felt like I had to really scoop to the bottom to get more flavor. Lastly, they have bottled beer, none on tap. Def wish they did tho!

Seafood, fries, churros
Harriotte D.

Great seafood! Ordered mild seafood for delivery and it was fabulous! Still pretty spicy but yummy. They were so nice and added churros!

Garlic and butter and Cajun sauce is not very flavorful. I'm from the south and there's no salt. I tried it twice, eehhh.

The service is amazing, and the interior decor is filled with NZ pride, and the vibe is casual yet elevated (depending when you go).

I walked in at 2 and it was empty but it was open so I opted to sit outside where there was a breeze. I ordered the lobster reef SVB and it was decent. I also ordered the tuna crispy rice, I wasn't expecting that much tuna on top of it. Also it wasn't like the many other crispy rice I had. If you're not completely comfortable with eating this amount of raw tuna, with zero sauce on it...I would skip it. But it was a generous portion. Ordered the mussels with extra garlic bread ($4.95) I knew I wasn't going to finish it but I love garlic bread for my curry sauce. The mussles itself was pretty big. Bigger than some places I have ordered at. The curry sauce was underwhelming for me. I seek out places that offers mussles without the traditional garlic white wine sauce. Curry is usually the 2nd option in most places. Although it had curry flavor. Something was missing. Maybe some spice or something. But I also love bolder flavors, so it might be perfect for everyone else. Overall, I got to try this place since it's been on my list. My bill was about $95 before tip. Street parking only, it would be difficult during dinner rush since there are several hot spots aceoss the street.

We came to Santa Monica Seafood for a birthday dinner, and it couldn't have been a better choice…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The oysters and salmon were especially memorable--about as fresh as seafood gets. We ended up ordering far more than we probably should have, but it gave us a chance to sample a good cross-section of the menu. We started with a half dozen oysters and the mussels before moving on to the branzino, cioppino, and Yukon potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the portions were generous enough that we brought more than half of our entrées home for another meal. I'd only been to the seafood market once before, but this dinner reminded me that there's much more to this place than buying fresh fish. Since I work nearby, I've already decided to make Friday stops part of my routine so I can pick up fresh seafood for dinner on the way home. Would we come back? Absolutely. Whether you're looking for an outstanding seafood meal or fresh fish to take home, Santa Monica Seafood is well worth the visit.

The oysters were delicious, though one of them wasn't very fresh,all the others were super fresh!…read moreThe crab linguine had a rich, flavorful sauce and was packed with crab meat.

Just shy of 5 stars because the service at the register can be cold , I've seen flies in the pastry shelf, and on occasion they've forgotten something in our order which is a bummer (and means you have to get back in line to get a refund).
