Food quality is great and the pricing is fair, which is not something I say often about a seafood boil. The place looks great inside. Clean, friendly staff, the kind of spot you'd want to sit down at. I wouldn't know though. I've been here plenty and I have never once eaten in. Always order it to go and eat at home. Wife likes to have some white rice with hers. If you're in the Shoppes and debating it, it's worth the stop. read more

I am giving this place 5 stars because they have an uncomplicated menu, delicious sauces, and good options. I order here enough times to verify their consistency. This is a great local seafood spot here in North Brunswick because their combos make choosing easy. My go-to order is Combo #2 with the boom sauce (a combination of their 3 sauces: cajun, lemmon pepper, and garlic). Most times I will order it in a mild to medium spice level. So delicious! Additionally, I love adding potatoes and sausages as sometimes I do share this with people who would prefer not eating any other seafood than shrimp. This all goes well with white rice (which I would cook at home as I mostly grab things to go). The other times I ate dined in here, the staff has been so nice. Whenever I pick up my order, the staff has also been consistently nice. I am also impressed that they are pretty quick with preparing their order. Looking forward to come back. read more

I recently came here with my mom and sister. We had low expectations, but this place was actually fantastic. It was a seafood boil that came in a plastic bag and was really flavorful. We got two bags worth for three people, and it was plenty of food. Definitely a great place for seafood. The crawfish weren't as good as they were frozen previously, but overall, the shrimp and shellfish were amazing. read more

Seafood Boil 787 Shoppes Blvd. North Brunswick, NJ 08902 #4 Choice Combo This gigantic bucket comes with snow crab leg, shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels, and a couple of side dishes. It was a wide variety of seafood and it almost equivalent to being down the shore. Our server was phenomenal; she checked on us multiple times. This wasn't the best seafood boil I explored. The crabs weren't meaty enough and I did not enjoy the taste of the crawfish. If I ever return, I will most likely purchase mussels and clams. #seafoodboil #northbrunswicknj #snowcrab #crabslegs #shrimp #clams #blackmussels #grrenmussels #crawfish #choicecombo read more

My husband picked up combo #2 yesterday. $33 plus $4 upgrade for live crawfish. Spicy boom sauce. Best seafood boil I've ever had. Everything was so incredibly fresh and delicious, and well priced. The spicy level is quite spicy, so I may go for medium going forward but that's just my preference! This will be my new spot for seafood boils, excited to try the rest of their menu as well! 10/10 read more

Seafood Boil - #2 Choice Combo upgrades to fresh crawfish. - Seafood Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

I was quite surprised to find that the shrimp was the tastiest shrimp I've had at any seafood boil I've ever been to. I've eaten in Delaware and Florida for seafood boils, but this shrimp was out of this world. It was super fresh and juicy, even if it was frozen it seemed to be freshly caught. However, I was not a fan of the crawfish. It's possible that it is out of season hence it being less appetizing. Can definitely taste the fishy taste. We did medium spice and garlic and Cajun and it was so yummy! Highly recommend giving this spot a chance. read more

Fantastic!!! So Mini-Me and her Bestie treated hubby and I to our Anniversary dinner here, because, we love seafood. It did not disappoint . We each ordered our own meal, I love green mussels and crab, so that was my my choice. Everyone else had lobster, shrimp, and crab. I enjoyed the Boom mix of seasonings, which is a mix of lemon, garlic, and cajun seasonings. They do charge for soda refills, but it's also BYOB, so there's that. Honestly, we will be back again, it's worth the drive and service is awesome. read more

The food is really really good here. We usually get a mix between crawfish, shrimp, mussels and craw fish. We get a mix of all the flavor options at the spiciest level. We usually pickup since it's so close to home. Would absolutely recommend getting food here. read more

Been here twice and both times have been great. Like others have also said, for some reason the shrimp is really really good here. They're always juicy and tender, plus they actually devein and clean them here - something that I usually don't see from other seafood boil places. This place seems to always be busy so the workers always seem rushed and swamped with work. But they are always nice when they have time. Casual setting, okay prices, I like the flavor, I usually get the boom medium read more

This was my first time at this place. The snow crab clusters were the smallest I've ever seen in my life. I would never eat there again and I would not recommend anyone to waste their time or money. It was a waste of $53. read more

The girls and I got together to get food and went to this restaurant. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and the hostess sat us. A very nice lady was our server, Rose I believe her name was. This place is BYOB fyi. I ordered the 1/2 lb. of headless shrimp and snow crab legs in cajun sauce. When it came out it smelled and looked great. I dug in and it was very tasty. I enjoyed the flavors. The bill was super affordable as well. I had a good experience. read more

Ordered 1/2 lbs shrimp, 1/2 lbs sausage and 2 lbs of Dungeness crab. Wow! The Cajun medium has a good kick to it. 5/5 stars. I had a hard time finding a way to get into the plaza because we are not familiar with the roads in NJ. After getting lost for 15 mins, we found it and happy we stopped by. read more

Several years ago, this type of restaurant popped up everywhere I went. Our first encounter was in Adams Morgan in DC, which we tried and loved. Since then, I've seen them sprinkled around in Brooklyn and NJ. Then. they all started to go away. Fast forward to today and I am glad to find this type of restaurant in NJ again. You can either select a set combo or choose individual seafood selections. We opted for the individual selections and ordered a 1 lb cluster of the dungeness crab, half pound shrimp, 1 lb frozen crawfish (live was out of season), and 1 lb of blue crabs. For every 2 lbs, they include 1 piece of corn and 1 potato. We chose the "boom" sauce which is a mixture of the available sauces (lemon pepper, garlic and Cajun). The Dungeness crab was the star of the meal. It was meaty, and tasted really great with the sauce. The blue crab was good too but 2 were light and 2 were meaty. Our waitress said 1 lb of blue crabs is usually around 3 crabs but sometimes its 4, so it's a trade off. The shrimp was pretty large. I think live crawfish would have been better than the frozen. Didn't care too much for the frozen crawfish. I wish it came with more corn and potatoes. Those were really good with the sauce. read more

Food was amazing! Walked in and ordered and within 10 minutes I was walking out and the food was super delicious!

Ate here yesterday. I ordered Lobster tail, shrimp and snow crab legs. Everything was good and hot except the snow crab legs. They were cold, the shells were soft, and they were super salty. The manager was very accommodating in switching them out and explaining the sourcing and shipping process. The next batch was hotter. As for COVID-19 protocol, they have contact sheet and they are doing temperature checks upon entry. Masks required except at your table. read more

Attention all seafood lovers, if you're in the area, you must dine here. I saw the reviews on yelp for quite some time and I've bookmarked this place. We came here as a family of four and as soon as we walked in, we're greeted by a friendly smile who walked us over to our booth seats. The menu comes with prefixed combination of seafood or you can build your own seafood: clams, mussels, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, crawfish etc. Choose your seafood selection and then select a sauce and then the level of spice. You can also add the side orders of noodles, rice, potatoes, corn or the cobb or sausages. Side orders are extra costs. I selected to build my own because all of the prefixed orders have crawfish, which I'm not a fan. I ordered 1 pound of shrimps (no heads), corn and sausages. All with boom sauce and medium level spice. Yes, there's kids menu and yes, they have chicken fingers and wings which is a plus since my daughter doesn't like seafood. Our waiter took all orders and then came back with utensils, wet napkins, bibs, gloves, and a bucket. Food came and all served with the sauce in a clear bag. As expected, it is delicious. The boom sauce is good. I will definitely come back to try other items and sauces. read more

I am only giving 4 stars for the fried options on the menu. I had such high expectations because their "boil" options are out of this world. I could eat their black mussels with the boom sauce all day, every day lol. We ordered a few fried catfish sandwiches which was just ok and my fried scallops seemed fake and just not what I expected. Will just stick with what they do best. read more

So I came here the other day to check this place out ... I was at a similar place like this in the Plainfield area but I found this place much nicer in side than the other one ... Parking is plentiful No one was really inside but I also came around the late afternoon ... The Asian girl at the front ended up also being my server ... The menu is easy and simple I decided to try a combo . You are able to choose from a combo list of pick your choices for your meal. You then choose the seasoning and the level of spicy. The least expensive combo was $33 . I had my reservations because I normally don't eat crawfish and that was included. Food came out pretty quick. Although I enjoyed the clams , the potato , shrimp and the crab legs and I liked the seasoning - I wasn't a fan of the crawfish or the corn Next time I would try try making up my own thing . It's pretty messy since you gets your hands dirty No utensils although they give you a plastic bib , disposable gloves if you want and crab utensils. I would come back again. read more

One of the better places in the area for seafood boil. The oysters are affordable considering you get 12 pieces. The combo packages are very affordable and is suitable for two. Suggest getting a side of rice or noodles for a complete meal along with some hot green tea to wash down all the hot oily sauces. Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: will visit again. read more

Friday night out with family. I ordered their number one choice combo. 1 lb crawfish, 1/2 lb head on shrimp, 1/2 lb snow crab leg, 1/2 dozen clams, 2 corn and 2 potatoes. Seasoned called boom, mix of Cajun, Garlic and lemon pepper. It's mild spicy and delicious. Serving staff are friendly and courteous. Well lighted place and good ambiance. Wish we could come back here every Friday. read more

I shop at this complex quite a bit and I've always been drawn to this place but never took the chance. I'm really glad I did. Having never been to a seafood boil before it was kind of exciting to get my hands dirty. They provide you with gloves and a disposable apron. We started with a dozen raw clams, they were fresh, well cleaned with 0 sand or grit in them. For our combo we got the "boom" flavor where they mix all 3 flavors, Cajun, garlic and lemon pepper. The bag was packed with flavor and the seafood was well mixed in. Service was quick and attentive. My only gripe is how pricey it is compared to what you can do at home, but with 0 cleanup there's definitely a win to be had here. read more

Seafood Boil - Combo #1 - Seafood Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Seafood Boil has such a special place in my heart. It was love at first eat for my 23rd birthday last year. I regret not eating there more often last year because now we have to do takeout and it just isn't the same experience at all with the exception of the bomb food. I think the prices are very fair here. I would share a $33 combo with my friend and it was enough for us. My favorite items to order are the green mussels, shrimp with heads on, clams, and snow crab legs of course. The green mussels are a lot bigger than the black mussels, so the dollar difference is worth it. The mussels are also the easiest to eat in general because there is no peeling or cracking involved. The shrimps are always better with the head on so that you can suck the goodness out of it, even better tasting with white rice! And what's a seafood boil without crab? It's the most fulfilling work you will ever have to do for food. When you dine in, Seafood Boil supplies you with everything you need to dig in: a bib, gloves, picker, cracker, trash bucket, and more. I think cracking crabs and crawfish is pretty intuitive, but you can always ask the staff for tips if you need them. The crab legs are usually able to just be cracked in a spot and be pulled out in one piece. For me, the shrimp are the most annoying to peel and is never a smooth process. Also, some items automatically come with corn and potatoes so you don't necessarily need to order rice or another carb. I highly recommend getting the Boom mix, which is a mix of all 3 seasonings. I think most people will be able to handle the medium level of spice, which has the perfect kick but will not kill you. If you've never had a boil before, I highly urge you to order Seafood Boil for takeout during COVID! You will certainly be in for a treat read more

Seafood Boil - Yummy - Seafood Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Hankering for seafood, I stopped by a couple months back and ordered a 3 clusters of Dungeness crab. Took it home and after my family tried it, we were happy campers for sure! The Dungeness crabs had a lot of meat! I ordered them in Cajun, garlic, and all mixed (included lemon pepper). I really like the flavors, especially the garlic, Cajun, lemon pepper mix. Since I was eating this with my family, I ordered these in mild, but you can get them in medium, spicy and burn your head. I really want to come back as they also serve king crab, snow crab, blue crab, shrimp and shelled mollusks. You can get them in the flavors and spices mentioned above. You can order it on its own (prices are seasonal) or as a combo choice. There are a variety of sidea to go with it. If you don't know how much to order, think about how many clusters of crab you want to eat and just pay by the weight. There have abundant tables and booths at the restaurant. They are all lined with paper and have baskets of wet wipes and paper napkins to prepare you for battle! read more

My crabs were over cooked. I've been to this restaurant many times. Today I went in to get crabs for New Year's Eve dinner. I purchase a liter of Dungeness crab legs. I was told by the hostess that I would get two clusters However, I only got one.I paid additional for the second cluster. When I got home, the second cluster that I paid additional for was over cooked and taste sour. I had to throw the second cluster away. I was very disappointing .As I said, previously, I have ate at this restaurant on numerous occasions so I was a very surprised. The food is normally delicious. read more

The last time I went here, I noticed the shrimp was not cleaned. It turns out they do not clean the shrimp on purpose. I wanted to pre order a huge order for mother's day and I asked "Can you please clean the shrimp, and get rid of the poop sack" and they said "we do not do that". Honestly, that is freaking nasty as all hell. Everything else tastes fine, but when you have shrimp be your main draw, thats a huge red flag. Will not be eating seafood boil here again, and everyone who does is eating shrimp poop. read more

Came here for the crawfish, and also said " Louisiana Cajun style seafood restaurant" and since I'm from Louisiana I was really excited but I was very disappointed. The server was rude. The "sweet tea " is not sweet that's a lie. The crawfish are seasonal and I know it's the season for crawfish ( crawfish season starts mid January to early July ) I came Feb 23 but they only had frozen crawfish which tasted like crap it tasted like it was smothered in garlic and sirachia The only good thing was the potato and the corn read more

Seafood Boil - FROZEN CRAWFISH - Seafood Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

What makes the seafood boil here so good is their sauce. The seafood is never overcooked which is a big plus also. We chose a Cajun, lemon pepper and garlic flavor with a "Burn Your Head" Spice Level. I'll tell you what, it didn't burn my head but it sure burned my mouth and lips. I couldn't feel it for hours. The sauce was finger licking good. Here is what we ordered: - Fried Oysters - 1/2 Raw Clams #4 Choice Combo - 1 lb Snow Crab Leg - 1 lb Head on Shrimp - 1 lb Crawfish - 1/2 Dozen Clams - 1/2 lb Black Mussel - 1/2 lb Green Mussel - 2 Corn - 2 Potatoes Note to all the young gentlemen out there, please do not bring your first date here. And girls, suggest another place if your date wants to bring you here. Why? Because you will look like a mess, there is no etiquette when it comes to eating a seafood boil. Think about it, you put on a pretty dress, why cover it up with a large bib with a lobster on it. Pieces of seafood will fly in the air and might land on your clothes or worse, your pretty styled hair. So if you want a second date, save this place for when you've known each other for at least a month. Service is lovely and attentive. read more

I mentioned this place to my fiancé some time ago as one of our "must visit" foodie place. I'm so glad we did since we are both seafood junkies. The menu was pretty straight forward; you can order anything from the combos or make your own dish. Since it was our first time, we went with combo #1 since it seemed to include all of the things we wanted to try. The food didn't take no more than 10 minutes to come out which I loved! There isn't much of a drinks menu here but that's fine because I later found out it's a BYOB. We got so much food; we shared a pan to dump all of the crustaceans and even though it was almost filled to the top, we still had so much food left over. Neither one of us complained since we had a sizable to go bag. If it wasn't already clear, we will be back here. read more
