I was meeting a couple of people for a business lunch, and one of them suggested Pacific Boil. I had never been before, but I'm always down to try something new. After reading some of the reviews, I went in with mixed expectations. While the restaurant is a little tired around the edges, it's nowhere near as bad as some reviews make it out to be. The waitstaff was wonderful--super attentive, polite, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I ordered the fish and chips. As a girl from Alaska, I'm always hesitant to order cod fish and chips. The fish was a little tough in my opinion, but the chips were fantastic and easily the best part of the meal. I also ordered a side of coleslaw, which was good but could have used a bit more seasoning. My two dining partners ordered the shrimp basket and the oyster basket. The shrimp basket looked terrific, and it's definitely what I would order on a future visit. Both of them raved about their meals. I will say the portions are very generous Overall, this feels like a bit of a hidden gem. It may not be fancy, but the service was excellent and there are some solid menu items worth coming back for. I'd definitely return. read more

My son and I got two lobster tail boils tonight, one with shrimp, one with octopus, and wow has the quality really gone down. IMO, I've never been a huge fan of Pacific Boil, but my son likes it. The lobster tails were a joke. They just looked like large shrimp. Barely any meat, and no taste. The shrimp were straight up gross. They were mostly mushy in texture, and had HUGE poop lines that just squished into the shrimp. Gross. I threw half of them away. My son even admonished they've gone downhill and that's saying a lot seeing he used to love them. For $160, it was beyond disappointing. We will not be back. read more

Crab boil meat Irish pub perfect mixture! If you enter on the crab boil side it looks a little shady but then you go around the corner and it is a cozy pub style restaurant with incredible foods. I got the crawfish boil in their house seasoning which was amazing probably one of the best crab boil seasonings I've had. My husband got the fried catfish meal and we had an appetizer of fried shrimp everything was excellent and the fries are so yummy. The bartender was running the whole joint and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I wish we had known about this place months ago! Don't want the parking lot for you this place is a hidden treasure read more

Well took the family out for Valentine's Day dinner at this establishment. We all ordered the same off the menu loberster boil.It was delivered in a bowl with there home made sauce. We were a little disappointed because the sausage appeared to be soggy. Yes they were packed. Since it is a lounge seating was cramped. It was loud and out waitress was not as attentive as we would like. The serving of the lobster was small and only one with way more shrimp than crab. Not very impressed with the portion size. Would I recommend this place not really. For the price $48.00 I think you could go somewhere else that had better portions. Will I go there again no . But you be the judge. read more

Ambiance is old dark bar. When we came in it looked deserted, except the bar area and some older local patrons were doing karaoke. My expectations weren't high. Thank goodness, I was patient and it was late. Then the food came.... EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Had the crab boil with mushrooms added. This turned out to be one of our best meals. The food is delicious, the place is clean & the prices were very reasonable. Thank you for an unexpected delicious meal. Warm regards, Sharine read more

I don't know what took us so long to get here. Every time we drive by we're like, "we gotta go there." It was well worth the wait. If you like a good Louisiana style seafood boil, you gotta get here! This place is amazing. They also have a lot of other great menu items including a great selection of poboys! Shout out to Maddy "Bubbles" and "Brut" the bartender! read more

I want to give it a 4.5 but yelp won't allow me. We ordered the combo #1, the service was very good, food was great, the corn was absolute garbage but everything else was cooked well. There was only one server on a Sat evening but they did a great job. It's a lounge with only a liquor menu, no mixed drinks menu, very odd. Although the place is decorated with corny decorations, I'm willing to look past it, and will be returning. If you like seafood, have time to wait for a delicious meal, then I'd highly recommend PBL! read more

We were at Portland for a sport event. My daughter wanted lobster roll. We went there for the lobster roll. It was good. The size was huge. Then the same day we went back for seafood boil. It was good too. Also, service was excellent. I would come back if I visit Portland again. read more

The food was amazing!! I recommend the garlic butter And the chicken sandwich was also great for those who have partners that don't love seafood.

Based on low expectations given the area and exterior we ended up very pleasantly surprised. EXCELLENT - Garlic bread. Almost a requirement to mop up yummy sauce. - Clam Chowder: they add a delicious spice. Some thought it was too salty. VERY GOOD - Boils: clams, corn and broccoli - Garlic noodles and shrimp - Coleslaw - Portions GOOD - Service: A very sweet server. The lobster roll took a VERY long time, but the other items came out quickly. Requests for extra utensils went unanswered. - Value MEH - Fried potato wedges, not a fan of the seasoned salt - Drink selection (maybe I missed a seeing a bar or cocktail menu) - lobster roll: mayonnaise heavy, low quality taste. POOR - Wedge Salad: do not order. It's not the chunk of iceberg you're used to, the bacon tasted artificial, and the blue cheese dressing was horrible. Parking is easy. Very good service, from the bar next door too. read more

Thought I'd give it a try since I love the Galfer's fish & chips. Only had one server that played bar tender too. So, service was all but not existent. Had to get my own menu. Restrooms completely destroyed my appetite. Place is just old and run down to the ground. I wouldn't trust the food, so I left. read more

We ordered Pacific Boil on Saturday night and were deeply disappointed. The food was delivered just fine, but the food was less than underwhelming. The clam chowder was thin and flavorless, it also was shy on the potatoes and clams. The fried fish and shrimp had thick breading that had no seasoning, it also tasted oily. The best tasting items were the Cajun fries (which were normal tasting fries, but almost entirely unlike Cajun); and my shrimp cocktail, which had perfectly done shrimp and a very good sauce. I turned the leftover soup into a chowderlike substance that was fit to eat a few nights later. This was an expensive disappointment. read more

People were friendly , the food was Ok. The clam chowder was thinner than expected and lobster roll was fine. Did not try any of the Boils, but others seem to be enjoying. read more

Brought friends here for seafood and they all enjoyed their food. I have now had the boil several times, and the lobster roll and fries several times and they're all good. Today we had an oyster special. The medium spice is enough for me but they also have spicy and extra spicy. They were open on Xmas so we walked a couple miles to watch MNF and eat. Mac & cheese was just ok but that is compared to everything else. Fave is still the lobster roll and fries. The roll is so good and the lobster perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fries are excellent. I've also had the boil with clams and mussels and it's been excellent too. Highly recommend this spot for people who like a good seafood boil or Boston style lobster roll. I haven't had the po boy yet so maybe next time. read more

We've gotten carry out from PB&L 6-8 times and it's always been a really good meal. We told our friends they needed to try them out. Sadly, we will not be returning. We got carryout again this evening and we opened the containers to put the jojos in the oven.....and I was grossed out by my meal. I hiked it down to PB&L and even the young server seemed to have a hard time identifying my meal. Now...instead of offering to remake my meal, the person who I assume is the owner came storming out of the kitchen telling me that everyone loves his catfish. His catfish is very good. Yes.....the catfish is all I've ever ordered and that's why we kept coming back...because the catfish WAS good. But this time, it looked so nasty and not anything like it had in the past. Had that person not come out of the kitchen with such a nasty attitude, I would not be writing this ...... but they lost our business. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out for a long time considering I am in Tigard about every two weeks, sometimes more often. I have a few favorite restaurants in Tigard I like to pop in for lunch - but I think this is my new favorite since lobster rolls are still not as popular in Oregon yet and I'm always in the lobster mood. Today was my second time coming in for lunch, the server recognized me right away and remembered what I ordered my first visit (two weeks ago!). I loved what I had the first visit so I stuck with it, their lobster rolls are giant actually stuffed with lobster not just all bread like some of the places in Portland. The fries that come with the roll are great as well, well seasoned and I love the shape. The lobster roll comes with fries & two dipping sauces for about $19, based off the size of the lobster roll and how much lobster they stuff it with - it is well priced (maybe under priced actually). I can only eat half the roll and bring the other half back home. Grab their lemon poppyseed cheesecake as well it is amazing They have so much on their menu I want to explore! Lobster garlic noodles, lobster mac, crab boils etc. yum yum yum. The restaurant is kept clean, the service is amazing and the woman severing is soo kind, food is amazing and I highly recommend this hidden gem read more

Food very good. Service good af. Puurrrrr. Period top service. Staff fine af. Drinks are drinking. Periodt!

Came to eat on January 2nd 2026. The staff were friendly, and the food was good. But towards the end of our meal, we spotted a rat near us (see video attached). My friend and I screamed, but no one came to check on us. When they finally did, we informed our server about the rat, and they handed us the bill. We were pretty spooked at that point and were processing what we had just witnessed. They did comp our meal, but having a rodent in the dining area is a serious health violation. I am writing this on the day we ate there, so I'm not sure if we will get food poisoning. read more

The food is a small portion for the amount it costs and it doesn't have much flavor. Also the waitress made me uncomfortable bringing up ICE and immigration. She also made up leave and take our food to go so she can clean up earlier. It wasn't even closed yet. read more

In a seafood mood. Been wanting to try this place since it opened! We splurged on a combo and added mussels and twin lobster tails. Also got the garlic bread, garlic noodles with shrimp add on, Mac and cheese with lobster add on, and clam chowder. Everything was amazing! The lobsters were the biggest we'd ever seen and they were perfectly cooked. The sausage was spicy, potatoes and corn were incredibly flavorful, the shrimp were fun to peel and eat, the clams were meaty, and there were plenty of mussels! The Mac and cheese was creamy and the lobster add on was the perfect pairing. Clam chowder was also on point! Full of clams and chunks of potato. Excited to try the po boys next! read more

So here's the thing: this place is a real dive of a restaurant. The service tries but is a bit on the sketchy side, the interior looks like it's been the same since the early 60s and not necessarily well-maintained, but the food (if what you want is seafood) is good, plentiful, and downright affordable. The steamed clams might've been the best I've ever had. The shellfish was decent quality shellfish at a really good price. I can't complain at all. If you're really craving seafood, can handle less than fine-dining atmosphere, you ought to head to the Pacific Boil & Lounge. read more

My mom was craving lobster on this day, so was looking to get some take out at red lobster where we typically go. Something in me wanted to check Yelp today instead and decided to give this place a try and oh boy, have I ever been so grateful about trusting my gut. Lobster tail roll combo was absolutely delicious, well seasoned, and a generous portion enough to feed two. We got the fish and chips as well, which was also really great. Pro tip, ask for the house sauce. read more

I have worked in Tigard for almost twenty years and have never even set foot in this building. There look like so many good things but I'm just a man, with an appetite, probably enough for just one sandwich. I got the lobster roll at the recommendation of the lady on the phone. It's not cheap but hey it is a lobster roll. Lots of big chunks of meat and a dressing that only does enough to support the lobster. The roll was not as soft as I was hoping but plenty buttery and worthy of the task. I really enjoyed the fries too. It seemed like a small amount but it was just perfect. Loved the seasoning on it too. Oh that fry sauce. I actually don't care for fry sauce but this is something special. Get it. I can't wait to try other stuff...in addition to my next lobster roll. read more

We went to Joan's Fabric and we were looking for lunch, and we turned around in the parking lot where we parked our car, and there it was: Pacific Boil, and my husband recommends he order while I shop. The order for pick up, took 20 mins. and it was already ready when he went to pick up our order. We both ordered the Lobster Rolls. It came with uniquely shaped Cajun fries, we both agree was very good and spiced just right! Also included a tasty fries sauce, that looks like Thousand Island Dressing but spicier, which was perfect for me too, since I am not a spicy - lover! The roll so full of fresh lobster, I could only eat half (we always bring a cooler, for leftover to bring home), and will be my lunch the next day! We also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder. It had plenty of clams in it, tasty, but not as thick as most clam chowders! It was still appealing to me, and I would have something else to say about it, but I don't! The order was nicely packaged with all the utensils needed, and ready on time. read more

We were browsing through restaurants and noticed this new local place just opened. We love cajun food and there aren't a whole lot of places nearby like this. We ordered online and drove there. The place used to be a bar so it has all the essence of bar vibe. There is signs for 6 foot distancing and the seating area is taped off. The staff are all wearing masks and there's hand sanitizer available. We ordered the lobster roll with cajun fries, 2 soft shell crab appetizer, and crawfish with garlic butter and old bay with extra corn at the spicy level (level 3 spicy out of 4). We got it for takeout and got home and everything was still crispy and warm. Overall everything was very good. Lobster Roll and Cajun Fries: compared to other places we've been, the amount of lobster seemed lacking. That being said, the bread was buttery and it still had a very good flavor; it came with melted butter and an aioli which was very good when dipping the roll into. The fries varied in texture, but many of the fries were so thin it was like chips. Soft shell crab appetizer: was easily our favorite thing. The crab was still crispy and the insides soft and moist with flavor. It was seasoned well and tasted good on its own, but even better dipped in the aioli and/or garlic butter. Highly recommended getting 1 or 2 orders of this. Crawfish with corn spicy level: the crawfish was coated in delicious sauce so we slurped the shells each time. The meat was still pretty tender so it wasn't overdone. For anyone big on spice like us, we would recommend getting the max spicy (very spicy) and maybe even asking for extra if possible. We got the spicy level and it didn't have anywhere near enough spice. The corn was yummy in the garlic butter/old bay sauce but as usual with this style restaurant, $2 for a few pieces of corn seems steep. I would say this place is worth the visit and they have many other seafood options we wanna try next time. I went with 4 stars mainly due to the inconsistency with the fries, the spiciness being inadequate (although still tasty), and the roll could've been more loaded for $16. read more

For a few years my family and I have enjoyed the take out service and quality of food from this restaurant UNTIL my most recent experience last month. Unfortunately, Pacific Boil's seafood was the meal of choice for a family member's birthday. Everything was ready to pick up on time, and we headed home to enjoy. We do not live far from the restaurant, but nearly 40 minutes later, the remaining food had to be re-heated. Chowder had spilled into other items ordered due to inferior packaging. Additionally, our entire order was stuffed into a very cheap plastic bag, contributing to the mishap. Although it was hours before closing, no one answered subsequent calls I made to bring the matter to their attention. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed. read more

1 lb soft shell crab, 1 lb shrimp, 2 lbs crawfish = $114 Shrimp and soft shell crab is good, crawfish is not fresh. We didn't eat the crawfish at all just tried one each and left it there, the taste really is bad! It's like been frozen for years. We talked to the server about this and ask her and the chef to try the crawfish before they serve it as this will not be favorable for them review wise. read more

I stumbled on this place while I was driving around. It was lunch time and I was hungry. I ordered the calamari which was definitely prepared in a way I've never seen. The calamari were these weirdly breaded spirals that came with a spicy dipping sauce and a side of fries. The clams which was a build your own bowl was delicious. It was a meal for more than one with all the corn, broccoli and clams. The service was meh. I stood at the counter when I walked in and was not sure if you ordered there or at a table. I would return. read more

I visit this restaurant a lot and have tried pretty much everything on their menu. The quality of the food is great. I can't possibly review each item, so here are some highlights: Sauce - I only like the house sauce, which is pretty amazing. The others are a little blend for my taste. Snow crab legs - I love them, but the sizes are pretty inconsistent. I have gotten huge clusters where I wonder if they are king crabs in disguise. But sometimes they are small and skinny. I guess it makes more sense to sell them by pounds, instead of clusters. Clams and mussels - always love them. Always tasted fresh. Jumbo squid - my new favorite. Probably the last thing I tried on the menu. I have always thought they'd be chewy. Nope - very tender. Lobster tails - probably the only thing I didn't like. They were pretty small and a tad over cooked. Chicken wings - flavors are good. But 6 wings for $11 is a little steep... Fried seafood baskets - shrimp, oysters, and calamari are great. Breading and seasoning are all on point. Fries are inconsistent. Actually they have always been amazing except the last time, where they were cut into wedges and undercooked. I am giving them five stars, not because they are flawless, but because I know I will keep coming back despite of their flaws. read more
