Although they serve other food items their seafood boils are definitely the star of the show. I have been coming here for several years and the waitstaff is always great as well as the ambience. read more

Breaking Crab - A. Combo 10/10 Lobster Mac & Cheese 10/10 Mozzarella Sticks 8/10 Crispy Jumbo Shrimp Basket 6/10 - Seafood Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

My first time eating an experience, a seafood boil! I had a couple friends recommended it to me for my first time experience. I'm glad I did and I sat inside in the waitress was amazing. The ambience was very quiet and chilled, but we are also went there probably around 3 o'clock on a weekend. I went back again and got takeout, but I definitely do recommend this place and it was super delicious. Everything was so flavorful and it came out super quick. I already have been back here at least twice and now I know that I like seafood :) read more

I can't speak for the food because we never even got to that point. When we came in as a family of 4 in the afternoon we waited a couple of minutes to be acknowledged and then seated. The restaurant was pretty much empty except for the front bar area. We waited almost 10 minutes before a server even came to introduce herself and want to take our drink order. By that time our family was up and getting ready to leave. As we were walking out the door the lady that seated us was sitting at the bar and messing with her cellphone. She looked at us and laughed as we were all walking towards the door. Obviously she wasn't in a rush to do anything except sit down and play with her phone. The least she could've done was take our drink orders. It doesn't matter how good the food is; the service or lack thereof is enough to keep us from going there. read more

I ordered the calamari not a good choice hard as a rock sent it back I'm hoping to go and try one of their Seafood boils and give them a second chance read more

Food was average, seasoning was watery w little butter. Had plenty of Jarlic. They asking $32 alb for snow crab legs while supermarket has them for $7.99 a lb and that retail. Plus 1cluster is NOT a 1/2 lb. So beware, 1/2 lb of snow crab is 1.5 -2 cluster. Mine was def light Service was blah I wouid try someplace new before going back read more

I stopped in because I was craving clam chowder and had some time to waste before meeting with my mom. The clam chowder was decent. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't bad either. I did add 1 1/2 packets of salt and 1 1/2 packets of pepper. The ambiance is casual. The wait staff is friendly. It's pretty slow early evening on a Monday. It's perfect if you are looking for an after work spot w your coworkers. Or if you are finishing up paperwork alone. They have a nice bar but I'm doing a dry February. Looks like it'll be a very cute option for Valentines as well. read more

Breaking Crab - Ne clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

I got the combo with shrimp, crab and added a lobster tail. I also paid $3.00 for extra garlic butter. First, the shrimp and crab was probably the best I've ever had. The shrimp was cooked perfect. Now I get a lot of snow crab legs at the grocery store and these were far superior in taste. The boiled potatoes were mush. My biggest complaint is paying for garlic butter that's not even butter. There isn't a drop of butter in there. It's some sort of oil that doesn't solidify. I waited overnight before I said anything. It was still liquid coming out of the fridge. The lobster tail was a waste of money. It was previously frozen and stuck to the shell like they do. If I got it again, I would have my own real butter. read more

food is excellent. cannot wait to go again. Staff was very pleasant loved the food. we bought crab leg, shrimp and mussels. we enjoyed read more

The family visited for the first time for Christmas Dinner. There were 10 of us total. I wish I would have kept my receipt so I had our waitress's name. She was Awesome! Half our party did substitutions and she took it in stride. Our appetizers were fried calamari, crab cakes, and we did a crawdad's meal to share as a table. The fried calamari rings were huge, less chewy than normal yet crispy. The crab cakes were so good a teenager actually loved them. The crawdad's had plenty of meat in them. Our food also very good the only things we did not like the salad's and potato sides were small. Our dinners were (2) crispy fried shrimp baskets, (3) boil combos, cajun shrimp w/ side salad, and salmon with a side salad. All the seafood in the boils were fresh and tasty. The crispy fried shrimp the batter was nice and thick with lots of flavor. Salmon was two good sizes pieces and so good! I will be back with my Dad so he can try The Boilery! read more

We were craving seafood so we decided to dine in at the Boilery Seafood & Grill. I have been here a few times. It's located inside the Brass Mill Center Mall where the old Bertucci's use to be. We ordered their signature item which is the boil bag. We got the Make Your Own Seafood Combo where you get to pick your catch, pick a sauce, and then pick a spice level. For my boil bag seafood catch I went with the snow crab and shrimp; the combo also includes corn and potato. I got the garlic butter for my sauce and I did not add any spiciness to it. It was delicious.I also got a classic margarita which was very good. The portion size is reasonable for the price, but overall the meal is not very filling. read more

The food here is immaculate. Me and my family went for the first time and were blown away by the food. Definitely coming back.

We had lunch here today after having lunch last week at Hook and Reel. The Boilery is much much closer to us as we live on the West end of Waterbury. I have to say the food was so good and so was the service. Our server was Princess and she was attentive and gave us a great recommendation for the sauce choice. The corn was good, the potatoes were a little undercooked for my taste. I was a little disappointed to hear the rice balls had been discontinued but they are still on the menu. In addition, they offer great side choices! Hush puppies were so good and their french fries were the best of any restaurant we have been to in a while. My husband and I shared the crab leg boil and it was the perfect amount of food for the two of us given the time of day. I would not hesitate to make this a date night place! read more

Breaking Crab - Seafood Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

Great seasoning! When you go to a restaurant your fries usually are plain and bland. But not here the seasoning they use on the fries and chicken strips is very good, and they're not stingy with the portion. Since the pandemic I've noticed many places have been making their portions smaller. So when you go to a place that you were a regular at before the pandemic and you notice that your meal is smaller but at the same price it makes you want to not be as loyal as you once was. If The Boilery Seafood and Grill keeps with this good taste, and nice portion size, they'll have a new regular. The order ahead option is very useful. I was able to pay ahead as well which limited how long I had to be in the restaurant. I really appreciated that option. Mask were worn and the restaurant looked very clean. I do plan on trying another meal soon to confirm my good experience. read more

I order takeout and always get a seafood boil. The food is well seasoned and hot when I get home. Sometimes the snow crab legs seem smaller than other times. Price is reasonable. read more

Nothing good to say about this place. It was like fast food. The waitress, after taking our order, never came back to the table, never asked us if we wanted another cocktail or drink, never asked us if we wanted coffee or dessert, never bussed the table of our dirty dishes. For a seafood place, they do not make any of their own tartar sauce, the cocktail sauce was ketchup in hot sauce. No visible horseradish. We were celebrating someone's birthday and they never did anything never came back to the table just horrible. read more

The Cajun sauce was a bit salty and I'm pretty sure they include the weight of the corn and potatoes when weighing the seafood. I hardly consider this to be worth $30. read more

Breaking Crab - I paid $30 for a full 1lb or scallops... This is what I received. Highly disappointed. - Seafood Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

We went for the boiled seafood, it was very good. The restaurant is in the old Bertucci's space in the old Brass City Mall so parking is plentiful. Not much work has been done to the place since it was vacated. Overlook the lack of aesthetics and decor and focus on the food. Mixed seafood dinners all around. It was all very good, seasoned as ordered and arrived quickly and hot. Cocktails and wine were surprisingly good. Beer selection is basically bottled American. I hope this place survives because it's the only similar offering in the area at this price point. Kid friendly and casual. Give it a try! read more

Average at best. I tried the Cajun seasoned combo mild was way too mellow for me. It's the only Cajun style boil seafood in the area so it probably will get me back for one more try. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. You don't expect amazing food from a place attached to a mall, but this was. I ordered two pounds of crawfish and one pound of snowcrab legs. Everything was piping hot and delicious. I really don't know what else to say. Eating giant crawfish in November is amazing. I'm looking forward to going again! read more

Had dinner with the family. My wife and I each got combo dinners. It tasted fresh and was hot. Service was fast. It's definitely a little pricy but so is seafood these days so that's not their fault. Wood definitely go again for a special occasion read more

Fast, friendly service and excellent food. Following the current Louisiana-inspired steamed seafood craze, The Boilery is a welcome addition to the Waterbury restaurant scene. My especial favorite is the grilled shrimp served over garlic butter noodles. Scrumptious! Just the right bit of heat, rich and very tasty. read more

I had the seafood boil with lobster, crab and shrimp. It was amazing. The Cajun spice is absolutely on point. The drinks my wife and I had were amazing. I recommend the indigo sour. Our waiter Kenny was really friendly! We will be returning. read more

Amazing seafood Get the boil. They come in a puffed bag. Taste great and fun too !

We were in the Waterbury mall for some Christmas returns and figured it would be a good time to give The Boilery a try. Our server was very pleasant and we did appreciate his attentiveness throughout the meal. My mom ordered the raspberry sweet tea as her drink, and they weren't kidding that it was sweet. It didn't taste like raspberry at all to us, it was just straight sugar. For an appetizer we had the crab Rangoons which we enjoyed, but the sauce it came with was a bit strange. My mom had the shrimp po' boy as her meal with a side of Cajun waffle fries. She thought the shrimp was very fresh, but the spice from the waffle fries was a lot for her. I had the fish tacos, and they were slathered in a chipotle aioli. It wasn't bad, it was just hard to taste anything other than the chipotle aioli. We ordered a side of the garlic butter noodles, and the only thing we tasted was Cajun seasoning. They were really spicy and our noses were running the whole meal, lol! Overall it wasn't bad, we were just surprised by the spiciness of our meals. read more

The food and the service is really great both in person and when I order on door dash

Ordered the branzino and soft shell crab on Grubhub and enjoyed both. Both were fresh and seasoned perfectly.

I finally have a reason to go to the Waterbury Mall. What a great new restaurant. The meal was amazing. The crab, scallops and shrimp bag with Cajun hot seasoning was great. I hope Waterbury will support the business, I know I will be back again soon. Also the manager and Kenny our server where very helpful, being it was our first time to a seafood bag restaurant.

We have been to several of these style seafood in a bag restaurants. We were quite excited to see the boilery open up in the waterbury mall. I would have to say we were quite impressed. The restaurant is decorated nicely. It was quite clean and tables were placed in a covid friendly layout. The food was the best out of all these Cajun seafood places. I highly recommend the signature sauce blend. It was super flavorful. Kenny was our waiter and he did a great job giving recommendations and taking care of us. We will be back. read more

Oh boy we went there recently and wow do you get a lot of food. It's excellent. It could be a little messy but it's fun. And the service is always very good too. Enjoy read more

The food I will say is tasty. We ordered take out. My husband got home and we got the wrong order. We called, they apologized and he went back. We told them twice we wanted the old bay seasoning. They did give us hush puppies for free with the second order, but the order was once again wrong. It was butter garlic and the half pound of scallops were 6 scallops?? We were very disappointed that once again the order was not correct. We appreciate the hush puppies but we won't order again. read more

I'm so happy there's finally a seafood boil spot close to me! I have been a loyal customer to the spots in west Hartford & Milford but sometimes I just don't want to drive 30-40 minutes for food. I kind of didn't want to like this place because it's definitely gonna be a problem for my health & wallet because I'll be here more often than I should. But it did not disappoint! I ordered takeout and I love that I can order right through their website. My food was ready right on time and not a long line to get my food. I ordered the seafood combo with 1/2lb of snow crab legs, shrimp, and mussels. It was delicious!! Nice, fresh, and hot when I got home 15 minutes away. The corn was off, not sure if it was a little overcooked but overall still impressed. I also love that I am able to have steamed rice on the side. Hook & Reel in Milford does not have rice and I love eating my seafood with rice. Definitely gonna be my new favorite place to come to for seafood boil, you'll be seeing me here at least once a week. Thanks!!! read more
