Went to a Mardi Gras celebration at Benny Boy Brewing and they were serving up a menu appropriate for the occasion. Had the crawfish and snow crab clusters. Both came with corn on the cob, a slice of andouille sausage and a chunk of pineapple. To make it extra decadent I added a bowl of garlic butter for dunking. The food was served hot and delicious after a reasonable wait. Portions were good and prices were reasonable. They offer bibs, gloves and wet wipes for the experience too. It's worth seeking out an event just to be able to enjoy this delicious experience. read more

This past Friday my friend and I checked out this seafood boil pop up at the Weary Livers. The food was in the back lot of the bar which i had no clue what to expect with a long line. The line moved quickly surprisingly. We place the order with Sean and the other cook, the way they interacting with their customers was great. Both were friendly and approachable, I tried the gumbo and the shrimp plateand my friend had the rice and bean, cake and pan of seafood with lobster tail. The portions were pretty nice and the flavors were good. I would say the seasoning and sauce on the shrimp was tasty, my friend liked the cake and her rice and beans. The gumbo wasnt the best. but sean took care of that for me with no problems, we didnt get to try the crawfish since it sold out but,I would recommend hiring them. read more

Excellent Caterer! What a unique idea for an outdoor gathering/party. Staff was wonderful. Food delicious! They cooked onsite. Served at the tables. Setup Brown paper on the tables with napkin boxes. Gave the tables a nice feel of a seafood boil. We had shrimp, crayfish, potatoes, corn; and nice large al dente done asparagus! Way too much food but we all destroyed like we could eat as much as we wanted! Plenty of leftovers (there's a second mini party today). This was for a good friend's event. I helped review the menu and reviews before she selected them. Price per head may seem pricey but not for what you get. Seafood, fresh veggies, paper goods, etc. And the leftovers! Defects would stretch as well if you had last minute drop ins! Great caterer! Definitely would recommend using plus a seafood boil is not something you see around SoCal so a fun experience! read more

Really good but taking off the heads of shrimp in a boil is sacrilegious. Everything was great! Flavor was there service was fine. But it was just the shrimp heads read more

I just want to say I ran into Craw Daddy Boiler at the Lake Arrowhead brewery in Lake Arrowhead. I have three complaints; - It was too good - It was too much food - And I got too full. Thank you guys!!!! read more

The food is out of this world. The chef is funny, nice and the experience is joyful I cannot wait for another opportunity to enjoy this seafood! read more

Craw Daddy Boiler - I forgot what it's called but I do remember it tasted out of this crab, lobster, shrimp, ellote, hot links, potatoes LFG!!! - Caterers Near Me

Absolutely incredible! 10/10 recommend! Sean made everything so easy from start to finish and was extremely communicative. His food is beyond delicious and wonderfully seasoned. We did a mixed seafood boil that was a huge hit! Will definitely do again in the future! read more

Absolutely insane every single time. I go to as many popups as humanly possible. The shrimp is to die for, but everything is just solid.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Flavor is great and on point. I would say the staff is extremely attentive and really want you to enjoy your food and time. We'll worth the money and extremely flexible. I will def recommend them to all my friends and family. If you haven't tried them I would highly recommend it. If you don't want too because you think it's expensive. If your broke, just say so. Hehehe 10/10 love everything, commutative and extremely thoughtful. read more

Yummy authentic Louisiana seafood boil. My family and friends loved the experience. The company was also easy to work with. Come hungry! read more

The best sea food boil in town! I've been to a pop up with Craw Daddy, and went to a wedding where they catered. Truly some of the best sea food I've ever had. Sean and Ian where incredible! Fun, sociable, accommodating, and professional, making both events very memorable! read more

Craw Daddy Boiler - Crawfish and shrimp boil - Caterers Near Me

I think these guys normally cater, but with the unprecedented pandemic circumstances, they had the brilliant idea to open up a pop up shop for people to bring home their very own Louisiana style seafood boil. I happen to be the only vegetarian/pescatarian in a group of carnivores, so I was a little disappointed to find out that they boil the sausage with the seafood. At first they told us that it had to be boiled in the same water even if the sausage was put separately, but then they were really nice and accommodating and found a way to boil the seafood first for my order and keep it meat free! I really appreciated how easy going and careful they were about it. One the biggest heartbreaks as a vegetarian is ordering food that you're really looking forward to and then finding meat in the order. But these guys were so on top of it and it made the whole experience that much better. The food itself was great too! I had never had crawfish before. I've discovered that it's not my favorite, but it was still tasty. What was my favorite was the shrimp. And the lobster. Both of those were amazing. Plus the corn and potatoes were super delicious and they came with the order. read more

Craw Daddy Boiler - Crawfish! With all the fixens, minus the sausage... - Caterers Near Me

A wonderful experience! Sean was amazing to work with, very communicative throughout my planning process. We had a backyard birthday party and crawfish boil. Sean brought everything (even down all my stairs) he was super friendly and let us ask him a thousand questions about crawfish boils. From my hostess perspective it was amazing to have someone handling the food and clean up. You get a huge portion of food as well. It was an experience everyone is still talking about! Highly recommend having him cater. read more

Craw Daddy Boiler - craw daddy boilery - Caterers Near Me

I never ever leave reviews but I had to come on here to say how incredible Craw Daddy Boiler is! They did my 30th birthday this past weekend and they were a joy to work with. So communicative and easy to get ahold of. They showed up early and took care of everything from start to finish including packing up leftovers and all the clean up. I didn't have to do a thing! Several of my guests said they want to use them for parties in the future. Highly recommend for your next party. read more

Craw Daddy Boiler - a long table with a variety of seafood - Caterers Near Me

LOOK NO MORE - SEAN IS YOUR MAN! We hired Sean for my birthday backyard boil. Initially we planned on taking on the task of doing the boil ourselves, and I am so glad we didn't. Sean goes above and beyond and made sure we didn't have to lift a finger. He is timely, prepared, interactive with guests, and the food was INCREDIBLE. Perfectly seasoned and cooked with a killer dip (I need the recipe!) Should we do monthly boils now?! Safe to say we are addicted, can't wait to hire him again! read more

We had the pleasure of having a delicious seafood boil with Sean! He was extremely friendly and easy to work it. We are totally new to the seafood boil concept.. we've only had boiling crab in the past. Answered all our questions via a few calls. He's not sales-y or pushy... overall a great experience. The seafood was FRESH and we were so pleased with how good it tasted. The seafood boil (shrimp, lobster, crab) comes with sausage, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, potato and more. Everything was fresh and you could tell it was of great quality! The sauce to dip the seafood in was BOMB! We also had three sides: potato salad, skillet cornbread with maple butter, and the mac and cheese. All three were DELICIOUS and even more delicious the next day! (we had left overs...!) The potato salad had a ton of fresh herbs and mustard seeds(?) ..probably one of the best potato salads I've had. Sean does everything from the set-up, cooking, and the cleanup. He also provides everything you need from bibs, butcher paper, seafood crackers, etc. No hassle on our end which made it super easy. He arrived 2 hours prior to the start of eating and stayed during the meal and helped tidy up after. We can't wait to have Sean back for more...! Thanks for everything Sean! read more

Just YES to everything about this experience. Sean was fantastic to work with from the moment I reached out. He accommodated lots of questions, dietary preferences and customizations and made sure we had everything we needed to have an absolute blast. He literally did everything on his own -- when he left it was like he was never there -- which allowed us to relax while he prepped and binge eat shellfish without a worry on our minds. Most importantly, the food was absolutely incredible and packed with so. much. flavor. Could not recommend Sean enough for your next big event, especially if you are looking for a unique experience that everyone will still be talking about weeks later. read more

I booked Sean and his team for my husbands surprise 40th and it was the best decision I made here. Sean was incredibly easy to deal with and the most responsive vendor I have worked with. Any question I had, he answered it quickly and efficiently. I really wanted oysters shucked on site and Sean was even able to add that as a service despite it not being something they offer on the regular. Sean also came a day early to hang up market lights which really changed the vibe of the night. The food was delicious and def the star of the night. We had loads of leftovers and have been eating it all weekend. Thank you so much Sean!!!! Highly highly recommend. read more

We booked Craw Daddy Boiler for our office holiday party and it was such a great experience. Sean was so responsive and helpful with the booking process and the food was outstanding. Sean took care of everything, including the plates, napkins, etc. and just made it so easy. Our whole team really enjoyed the food and experience and I would highly recommend them. read more

Sean is easily the best caterer in the city. I've been fortunate enough to be able to have two events catered by Craw Daddy Boiler at my home, and my friends and family still talk about them, months later. Juicy and delicious crawfish, crab, vegetables. It's a whole scene, and you come out of it satisfied, happy, and the envy of your neighborhood. Consider yourself lucky that you found Craw Daddy Boiler and book them quickly!! read more

Top to bottom it was a great experience. Superb communication and quality crustaceans! Sean and company came to us on a recommendation and i'm gladly paying it forward to the next party. Truly a fantastic time! read more

I was lucky to have been a guest where the host ordered from you. Everything was delicious! The shrimp peeled easily but my favorite was the lobster and cornbread with honey butter. Can't get enough. The purple potato was yummy and fresh. I hope to try the grits next. Love cheese and grits. Plus the corn was sweet and we were supplied with bibs and gloves. Great meal and timely delivery. read more

Follow them on Instagram so you can get updates on their pop up dates and location. Was lucky enough to get an order delivered today as an early Father's Day family meal. We got lobsters, shrimp, crawfish, veggies, mac and cheese, potato salad, and cornbread. Everything was delicious! The seafood and veggies were lightly seasoned and served with hot sauce and remoulade. I suggest having some lemon on the side. Highly recommend them and can't wait to see what pops up next on their seasonal menu. I really want to try the jalapeño cheese grits and crab legs the next time they are offered. It's a family affair for this business and you can taste the love in the food. Sean and his family are wonderful! read more

Couldn't imagine better service. From response time to food set up everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing!!!

I can't say enough good things about Sean Martin and Craw Daddy Boiler. I threw a birthday party for my husband today for a party of 20 adults + kids. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had more than enough food to eat. They were so professional and kind to everyone and on top of the great service, the food was amazing! I highly recommend using them for your next backyard get together. It was a bit! Thanks Sean! Looking forward to the next time! read more

Can't say enough about Sean and his team. We did a crab boil for about 55 people and there was more then enough food for everyone. The dessert was also amazing. That PB and J pie was un-real. I highly recommend these guys for your next party. Not cheap - but worth every cent. read more

Sean from Craw Daddy Boiler helped us with our last backyard party in June. It was a real hit! Our guests absolutely loved it, as did we. Sean and his staff are so friendly and they came prepared with everything- we barely lifted a finger. What better way to have a party? The food is high quality, and the hand to mouth feast is a fun activity to get everyone sitting together to enjoy each other's company. I would highly recommend a crawdad or seafood boil to anyone, especially if you use Craw Daddy Boiler as catering. Such fun!! read more

I wish I was rich so I could hire Sean to cook me a crab boiler every night! I had the privilege of eating his creation at a dinner party and I'll never forget it. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors and spices were on point. I'm excited for next time I get to eat his cooking. read more

We had Sean come to our house to boil for my husband's 30th birthday party. Sean was very easy to work with to get what we wanted. The food was amazing and we got sooo much food for the money - no one left feeling hungry. Highly recommend saving room for the mac and cheese, corn bread, and pies. We'd have Sean back to boil again anytime. read more

Amazing crawfish boil! From start to finish, Sean was excellent. He was quick to respond to all of my questions during the planning phase and worked to accommodate the special requests of our group. On the day of the boil, he showed up on time to prep and was flexible with the start time since my guests were running late. But most importantly, the food was delicious! The crawfish Sean boiled were the biggest I've ever seen and I lived in New Orleans for ten years. The veggies in the boil were equally delicious, as were the jalapeño grits and cornbread. If you have the inclination to try a seafood boil, look no further than Sean at Craw Daddy's. He delivers a truly special experience and great food! read more

We did a small event with Crawdaddy boiler. The food was excellent! Shawn was so easy and nice to talk to. He even offered last minute to bring a outdoor air cooler it was completely inconvenient for him but still went to the rental place and picked it up. The food was fresh and amazing and all our guest were sooo happy. They brought such a great variety of of things between shrimp, mussels, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, pineapple and more. It was just insane. We plan on making this a once a year family tradition. I can't say enough nice things about Craw Daddy or Shawn! read more

Wow! What a fun experience it was to hire Sean for my house warming party!! The food was AMAZING and all 40+ of my guests loved it too! It was WAY better than doing a BBQ! Sean is a real nice guy, who interacts with the guests, letting them hold the crabs/crawdads. He let's them take pictures and be part of the whole cooking experience! I highly recommend you hire him for your next part/event! read more

Craw Daddy Boiler catered our special summer event for my family and friends. I'd never had this kind of food before, but always wanted to try a crawfish boil and fixings. It was fabulous! My family and friends had such a fun time, eating delicious, fresh foods. Chef Sean had been a favorite for years when we dined at the restaurants he worked for - now we can have his amazing food and service any time we want. It is so easy to book with them.
