I came here with my friends and we had a good time. We got there and the hair was very nice and our server was super friendly and very attentive. My 2 friends I was with have never had a seafood boil before and they thought it was a lot of fun. I have always loved a good seafood boil, I just wasn't too impressed with the menu, they had good food but the best bang for your buck was definitely the preset combination but none of us were too thrilled with any of them but making your own bag was way more expensive which was really odd to us. But none the less what I got was good and the house sauce was good. I got medium spice and I barely tasted any spice at all but I'm a person that can handle a lot. The place itself was clean and very ocean vibes which I liked. Overall it was a good time.
High prices but a decent seafood boil in columbus. With getting the all seasonings mixed together it was a sure win. I didn't see eggs included in any of the preset boils. 1 corn and 1 potatoe with most. The shrimp is decent size. Nice sausage portions and I really enjoyed the king crab. The calamari is a little to moist for me, and not crispy enough. Although, Receiving good service definetly depends on the server. More than 3 people 15% Gratuity added to all checks no matter if the 4th person was a toddler who only shared a boil with Mom. The Bathrooms are nice and clean and they have a lot of decorations inside.
Seafood Boil is one of my favorites and Lee's spicy homemade sauce makes it the best! They have such a great combination of Cajun and Chinese style flavors. They have so many different options for combinations so you can get your shrimp head and skin on, or completely peeled. I liked to get shrimp and andouille sausage. You can also customize the spiciness of the dish, and their extra hot is very hot so definitely try it if you're good with spice. You can also get rice on the side to enjoy with the boil or noodles in the boil itself. The noodles soak up the sauce very well. They give you gloves and bibs so you can eat freely. There are plenty of indoor seating and a fully stocked bar. The only downside is that the food takes awhile to come out, but once it comes it is piping hot and so good!
It was so good! Didn't take long and had a nice inside. The pricing is reasonable and spice levels are definitely accurate
I've dined ALL OVER THE WORLD yet I've never been interested in eating at a seafood boil place because I felt like it was a fluff and show. I used to think that it was all shells, little seafood, and a bunch of corn, potatoes and sausage only in some sauce. Recently Red Lobster has been bombarding folks with commercials and social media regarding their seafood boils. This prompted me to want to try a seafood boil spot but DEFINITELY NOT RED LOBSTER because I don't trust them to do it right or give you much of anything but charge you astronomical prices for it. For my FIRST TIME SEAFOOD BOIL I had about a dozen places around the city I could've chosen but chose Lee's for the following reason: It's next door to Fiery Asian Sky and that place is a HOMERUN every time we've gone. I assumed Lee's might either be owned by the same people OR their competition. If they are their competition there is NO WAY they would have crappy service or crappy food because they've got to compete RIGHT? So I chose Lee's and I was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT in my assumptions. This place is a CERTIFIED BANGER!!!!!! What a great choice to lose my Seafood Boil spot VIRGINITY to! The $2 off Happy Hour Blue Hawaiian and Mai Tai's were HUGE, TASTY, POWERFUL and knocked you on your ass! These weren't little dainty $15 cocktails from the Short North or Bridge Park in Dublin these bad boy drinks will put hair on your chest! The Wings were tasty and prepared almost like those Korean Wings you get from BBQ chicken or CM Chicken! They were meaty, tasty, moist and not just breaded and dumped in grease, they took their time preparing them. The Cajun Fries were hot and crispy yet pillowy soft on the inside and you can't stop eating them. We got the ULTIMATE SEAFOOD BOIL with the Garlic Butter medium spice. The Ultimate comes with fried calamari. The calamari was huge, plump, battered nicely, fresh hot and crispy. The dipping sauce for them was very good. The only drawback is that they don't give you that many and place it on top of a lot of pointless iceberg lettuce. Outside of this detail it's still good. Now to the BOIL. That Garlic Butter Medium Heat is SOOOOO GOOD! The Crab Legs were juicy and plump. The whole shrimp here huge. They had the tails, heads and legs on them and they charge an upcharge of $4 to take off the head and $4 to take off the tail and legs. We passed on that because the Ultimate with two boiled eggs added on we were already at $54 or $56 and didn't feel like an additional upcharge. No biggie on the shrimp because the heads and legs slide off easily. The corn soaked up in the garlic sauce was BUSSIN, the sausages with the garlic and the sauce BUSSIN, the eggs marinating in the sauce BUSSIN, the mussels BUSSIN, the crawfish BUSSIN, the potatoes soaking up the sauce BUSSIN. I even took a wing and rolled and dipped it in the garlic sauce and you guessed it it was BUSSIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like it was more meat in the seafood than shells and we were extremely full. I also like the music, the customer service was excellent, and the best part is the spacing of the tables. The tables are spaced out that strangers aren't all up on you or staring at you in your face while you dine which I appreciated! They have plenty of bibs, gloves, buckets, disposable paper table cloths, and sinks out side and inside the restrooms to wash off your hands. Although this is the FIRST AND ONLY SEAFOOD BOIL place I've been to in my life I can't think of or believe another place could do it any better! I would give this place 6 Stars if I could be this is definitely the place to be!
Love this place. My fav seafood boil in the Columbus area! Delicious, buttery, and packed with flavor! The space is clean, spacious, and welcoming. The staff is amazing and attentive! Recommend this place if you like seafood boil! We got the crab legs, lobster and shrimp but didn't take pictures because we just went digging right I! Haha
A really great spot to die joelle was amazing the environment was great the only thing that made my experience as bad was not having regular tartar sauce. Please do better and have regular tartar sauce, but thanks for having a great server she was personable and wanted to make sure that I had a good experience. She could not control whoever dumb idea it was to not have regular tartar sauce and trying to change your wheel, the fish was cooked really well though could not enjoy it like I wanted to though just being honest.j
I was craving seafood and chose this restaurant because I'd never been here before. We came on a Sunday at around 5 o'clock and it wasn't that busy but got busier as time went by. I don't remember our waitress's name but she was super friendly. She asked if we'd been here before and even offered to explain how things worked. We got a seafood boil (The Ultimate) in their house sauce with a hot level of spice. Our waitress had given us a warning that it was HOT and made sure we were okay with it. She was right - it definitely had a kick to it but it was delicious and had a touch of sweetness to it too. The restaurant itself is a decent size. There's tables by their bar and more the tables in the upper level. There is a semi steep ramp to access these though.
This meal was ok at best. I take partial blame for not ordering a boil meal...but.... Anyhoo, I ordered the shrimp and chicken Cajun stir fry with steamed broccoli and baked potato with butter. The stir fry was tasty. The baked potato was tiny and burned and the butter was not butter. It was a bright yellow semi soft substance in a cup. Very strange do I didn't eat it. The broccoli , I must say, was perfect. Our young lady server was the best and we did not complain at all to her. She can't help it. The worst part though was the noise level overall and maybe that's due to the all tile floor ? Or just one table of ignorant loudmouths . I dunno.
We always order The Ultimate & share. The house sauce extra spicy is legit fire! I really like their seafood boils better than any other place in the city. I'd prefer the hot food to be served in a dish rather than a plastic bag though. There's also outside dining.
The food made me actually shit myself on my way back home. But it was so good, not as expensive as I thought, and will definitely go back soon.
We went around 5pm on a Tuesday and got an amazing booth on the upper level, perfect for date night. Ambiance was nice, loved the early 2000s playlist going on. We got a frozen margarita and a lemon drop to start, and wow the frozen marg was one of the best I've ever had. We skipped apps to save room for dinner and as first timers our waitress walked us through everything and recommended the house sauce. She pointed out the "hot" level is ghost pepper so my boyfriend got medium and I got mild. Both were perfect for us! I didn't get a picture of mine but I got the combo with two types of crab and it was so perfect. Getting super messy eating it all was half the fun so I appreciated the bibs. One of the best dining experiences I've had in awhile I'll be back!!!
I came here last week for my birthday and it was the best experience. I had a reservation for 15 people and the table was ready when we got there. The decor is so pretty. There's even a fountain! There was plenty of parking which was also nice. They gave us a good amount of time to pick what we wanted. I was very indecisive and many of my friends had never had a seafood boil before. Our food came out together and in a decent amount of time. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I got the handful with all the seasonings and hot. Hot is actually spicy and I have a high tolerance. They gave me a birthday cheesecake which was so nice! I had an amazing experience sitting, talking and cracking shellfish with my friends for my birthday! I would definitely come back!
Service was excellent! Server was on top of the drinks making sure everything was checked on Ambiance is cute, it probably time for an update but cute for a seafood place. Food was good, my only complaint was the amount of sauce, they held back on the sauce I could've boughten the extra sauce but wasn't looking for it to be drenched, but looking for alittle more love in the boil, especially since it was a lot of food and I had to take some home and reheat it. Other than that a great place, nice people good food! read more

If you're living in Ohio or even if you're just a hungry visitor, chances in finding a decent seafood boil joint is slim to none. Once again, I stumbled on another hidden gem. I was impressed with their seafood selection and size. The menu had a ton to choose from too. Build your own platters will sing to the heart of the indecisive seafoodies, while fried fish options will offer a delightfully salty crunch. But if you're looking to drown yourself in succulent seafood, their massive boil bags are going to be your go-to. With your choice of crab, mussels, shrimp, and sides mixed in and slathered with a Cajun-inspired house sauce -- it's so juicy that you'll even need gloves while you dig in. Those who aren't a fan of seafood won't go hungry though. You can also find chicken wings and tenders, appetizers, soups, salads, and sides that can satisfy your cravings. 4 stars because parking is a nuisance with this location within a shopping strip and limited payment options. No Venmo, Apple Pay etc. card or cash only read more
Came here for a friends birthday, and it was my first seafood boil experience. The service was really slow, but the decor around the restaurant was really cute. We were one of the only groups in there, which made the slow service surprising. That didn't bother me though, because the food was amazing! I got the combo with mussels and shrimp, which was reasonably priced and had a lot of food. The level below ghost pepper was perfect heat that wasn't overwhelming. I would definitely have a seafood boil again, but I would be interested in trying another restaurant to get a better idea of what it should be like! read more

I've always had a good experience here and I've been here quite a bit! There is so much flavor in their homemade juicy sauce and the medium spicy is my favorite! I typically get the handful because it's $35 for 1lb crawfish, 1lb shrimp, 1/2 mussels, 12 cut sausages, 2 corns, and two potatoes. Not a bad price at all!! You can also get the ultimate which comes with all that and calamari and crab legs. I know you can order things my the pound too! Their sauce just makes it the best! They definitely do not skimp out on the portions they give you! The waiters and waitresses I have encountered have been kind and check in with you to make sure you're satisfied! read more

Open for dining, clean, pretty dim inside but the food tastes good. Wish it could be a bit spicier as I did order the spiciest setting but happy that it wasn't to oily or greasy! Price point is not bad and service very friendly and timely. We were pretty hungry and ordered a ton of food, drinks and apps came out fast but the main dishes took sometime. Love that they have crawfish and didn't skimp out handing you a bunch of tiny and semi rotten ones. Pretty goood quality control here Massive parking lot, and great stores nearby.can do some groceries at Arirang afterwards if you'd like haha Check them out! read more

this resturant had a smashed dead roach on their floor! hair on the white paper clothes and they do not allow you to return food if you do not like it! their calamari is the worst! - dont waste your time to order that! it's fake and horrible. i would recommend kai's seas food broil down the street! the waitress was amazing and actually fought for my calamari to be taken off my bill but the guy who's picture i posted was not customer service friendly @ all! - their hot is hot! - my children could nit eat it and they dis nit warn us! dont get it because they do not take anything off your bill- their eggs are over done as well. - the worse ! - they do not have an option to get just crab legs all of their meals come with shrimp, they charge extra to cut the head off & this food made everyones stomach hurt. if anyone has to go to hospital we will be sending you the bill along with a law suite! - keep us in your prayers it was 6 of us total. they also charge 15% with a table of 5 or more and they do not deserve that! read more

Boiling seafood is a new restaurant that opened up in place of Panda Inn. I was frankly quite disappointed when Panda Inn closed (best tripe in town!) and was not expecting a whole lot when we decided to try Boiling seafood. But I must say we were very pleasantly surprised. The manager Steve Lee was super friendly and recommended that we try the "Handful", since it was our first time. It included 1 lb of Crawfish, 1lb of Shrimp, several cut up andouille sausages, clams, a couple of corns, and a couple of potatoes. We got this with the sauce he recommended which basically combined all the sauces they have together. Ask Steve for this sauce (I don't recall the name anymore). The spice level that we got was medium, and it was spicy enough to have a kick but not so spicy that we couldn't taste the food. To give you perspective, if you typically have the hot at Buffalo Wild Wings, you should not go higher than medium here. The handful itself had a lot of shells and not enough meat (except for the shrimps), but the flavors were amazing. I'd recommend getting the lobster tail instead to not have to deal with as many shells :), that's what I will get next time. The dungeness crabs here are supposed to be excellent as well (according to the manager Steve Lee, so that's another item to try next time). Next time, I'd also try some of the bread to dip the sauce in. They give you a plastic bib and plastic gloves. Both are essential as the dining experience can get quite messy. I wouldn't recommend coming here on a first date :), but we found the overall experience to be quite a bit of fun. This is a new business in Columbus, and it is quite different from anything else we have, so go there and give it a try. My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. read more

So heard about this place somewhere, not sure where...probably here on Yelp. But I've had it bookmarked for about a month. After Comfest yesterday followed by the after party at Little Bar. I had to sleep in late, while the man went off to Church. Took some aspirin & just starting to feel better when I get the call that he's on his way back to go have lunch with a friend that's in town for Comfest. Service good and since this was our first she explained the menu, helpful. The have meals or boils you can split between 2 or 3 people. The regular seafood option is $34 and for $50 it includes crab legs and calamari. We started off with drinks of course. I got a Angry Orchard Cider bottle and the men got Yuengling drafts. I got the shrimp etouffee mild, not bad, could have used some more stuff to make it a little more filling. My man got the shrimp po'boy good but a little small for the price. Our friend got the soft shell crab appetizer that came with about six or sevens pieces. Which was about 3 or 4 whole crabs cut in half, breaded and lightly fried. He also a pound of crayfish with the spicy cajun sauce. My man and I will definitely be back to have the the boil to split. read more

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday because he never gets seafood due to my lack of taste for it. This was a first experience for both of us and we were pleased. Service is kind, nothing over the top. A basic casual spot. My boyfriend enjoyed The Handful. I ate the Alfredo. They do have other options for those of us who don't eat fish lobster or crabs. Be ready for a larger bill, though I believe that is to be expected with seafood. Seems to be worth it. Thank you for serving us Jon. read more
