This food place was phenomenal and the service was great. I would definitely recommend and I will be going back myself.

Decided to try the snow crab/lobster boil at Bayside Boil...The crabs shells were extremely soft (as if it sat in liquids to long or not fresh). I complained to the waiter and he said "yeah that's what everybody says, I'll tell the guy in the back again." The decor is nice but No need to come back for a second try

Looks can be deceiving, I recently ate here Friday August 13th and the food was not fresh at ALL. I ordered snow crab, crawfish, with corn and potatoes. The crab and crawfish wasn't that fresh and the corn wasn't either. The corn was very hard over cooked like it was sitting out for days the boil bag with the seafood boil was sitting in like lukewarm water it was not tasty at all I will never go back to this place.

First boil experience in NJ and it did not disappoint! The place is large and clean. We saw the staff cleaning tables regularly throughout our time there and the tables are fairly spread out. We ordered the crab meat fries to start out for about $8. We were a little surprised the crab meat was cold but the fries were hot and crispy and the spicy Mayo on top was good. For the boil, we did the $50 combo. You get to pick 3 different seafoods and you get 1 pound of each. We picked the king crab legs, green mussels, and shrimp. It also came with 3 potatoes and 3 corn on the cobs. The quality and quantity of the seafood really exceeded our expectations! The crab meat was delicious, and the mussels and shrimp were big and juicy. We're excited to have a boil place so close to us and are looking forward to our next visit!

Visited this establishment with high expectations and they were met! Let me preface this by saying that I consider myself a seafood boil connoisseur. If there is a seafood boil restaurant within a 15 mil radius, I am going! Shaking Crab, Just Beclaws, Hook & Reel, The Boil, (to name a few) you name it I am THERE. So when I heard that this place had opened not too far from me I HAD to check it out They are fairly new and still getting the hang of things but the staff and management were super friendly and very attentive. I went with my daughter and mother on a Saturday afternoon there weren't many people there and we were seated and tended to immediately. Everything looked very new clean and orderly. Our sever was very friendly and explained any inquiries made in regards to items on the menu. Our food came out in a timely manner which is a given since there weren't many patrons there yet. I had shrimp (head off) with crab legs In a Cajun sauce (nice Cajun sauce with plenty of garlic just how I life it!) my daughter had chicken burger with fries (she raved about the crunchy fries and said the chicken was delicious ) , and my mother crab legs with mussels in a garlic butter sauce she ordered mild but felt that for her it had just a little too much kick but overall she loved it. Everything was prepared well, generously seasoned, and most importantly tasted FRESH. Crab legs were meaty, mussels were perfect, shrimp were a good size and very succulent. I think that one of the things that will set this restaurant apart from the rest of the seafood boil places is the variety of items on the menu, definitely a lot of options for non seafood eaters! will definitely be back.

This spot is new to the area (about 4 days) so I wanted to make sure to try it. The menu is pretty on brand with every Cajun/creole seafood boil restaurant-- a range of shrimp, crabs, clams, wings, mussels, etc. I decided to go for takeout because really this is the ultimate test for overcooked seafood. I've only been to about 2 places that have mastered the juicy shrimp to-go. The servers and hostess were nice and learning the ins and outs of the menu because again, it is pretty new. So I made my own boil with head on shrimp, mussels, and clams in the medium heat garlic buttery sauce. It took about 30 - 35 mins which is good to know in the case that you want takeout. Make sure to order ahead of time because if it's this backed up when they aren't busy, it could be a mess. Okay, if you're a person that cannot handle spice, I would HIGHLY suggest mild because this medium had some KICK. The shrimp were juicy and delicious. The clams and mussels were also good but were either over cooked or had a closed shell which kinda sucked. The corn was overcooked too which also sucked because who enjoys overcooked corn. Finally, the potatoes... a couple of them had black spots on them that at first I thought were burned. But once I peeled off the layer it seemed a little deep so that's still tbd. I'm praying it was just burned but how would they burn boiled potatoes? That actually could make sense if it was in a mass pot but I'm not sure. So would I come back? Yes. I definitely want to give it one more try because it is new and the shrimp, clams, and mussels were good despite the random closed shells. The menu also has a bunch of stuff that I would like to give a chance.
