The Boiler Shrimp & Crawfish is a popular seafood boil spot in Wisconsin and Illinois. Known for their shrimp boil, the trifecta flavor is a standout choice. The garlic noodles and fries complement the shrimp perfectly. For those not into boiled shrimp, the fried fish and shrimp are equally amazing. The seafood boil sauce is praised as incredible, and the seafood itself is described as to die for. The restaurant offers a unique no-plate dining experience, with food served on disposable containers or bags, making the service quite fast. The atmosphere is lively, with good music that adds to the vibe. The smell even before sitting down makes the restaurant very inviting. Vegetarians can enjoy the delicious corn and potatoes in the signature sauce, and the fried catfish is seasoned perfectly. Although the wings are no longer Halal, the food quality remains consistent. The cozy seating might be tight, but the friendly staff makes up for it. Some customers noted that the restaurant's prices are high, with one paying around $250 for two people, and service not always meeting expectations, such as limited drink refills and lack of additional tools for King Crab. Still, many find the seafood and overall experience worthwhile, especially when paired with their appetizers. Overall, The Boiler Shrimp & Crawfish offers great food, a lively atmosphere, and a welcoming environment that impresses both locals and visitors alike.
