As we were greeted as soon as we came in by a very lovely lady at the front counter, we were immediately seated with the waiter, coming out very promptly and taking care of every knee. As soon as something was finished it was removed as soon as you needed something they were right there some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. It’s hard to find and the food is absolutely amazing. Is one of the best nights I’ve had out at dinner and well over a year year.
Terrible experience they told us there was a 20% gratitude fee when we walked In the door for 3 people one including a child, like if we were not going to tip our waiter. We sat down and got comfortable when we were ready to order they had the audacity to say there’s no lobster, why not tell us that you don’t have lobster at the door or put a sign up saying your out on lobster for the day. the vibe was completely off it felt like they didn’t want us there. Nevertheless it was my wife birthday she had a birthday crown, and no one wished her a happy birthday beside a cooker from the back that brought the food from the back he was the only one with a positive vibe. I’ve been told to come here for quite some time just to be extremely disappointed.The food was great but the service was trash.

The seafood was very fresh and the seasoning was great. The snow crab legs were very satisfying to eat. Clams were also fresh and clean without sand.Potatoes were a bit tasteless which was disappointing - I was hoping they'd absorb flavor from the seafood!This bag plus a side would be enough for 2 ppl. Otherwise you may need a snack in a few hours!

Best place for crab in Jersey City. Relaxed atmosphere, family friendly, good portions, great taste! Location is great if you want to walk it off or get a drink / dessert nearby afterwards…

We love going to the Boil. The food is amazing and the service was always great but not this time. The female waitress who also was a host was very unaccommodating. The place was freezing because for some reason they opened all the doors while 55 outside and the waitress declined to give us a table further in the back where it would be warmer. The food took forever and she barely was checking on us and definitely had an attitude. Good for them for automatically adding the gratuity on the checks. I would not be tipping her 20% for such an awful service.

At first it seemed like the perfect place to eat, we were going to go to Grove Street Bar and we decided to stop there... After ordering some margaritas and an appetizer of wings, we waited (1 hr and 20mnt) for our order, on 2 occasions we spoke to the waitress and it was just apologies and more apologies. The manager never did anything, tables that arrived last than us received their order/dinner first, a table next to us was already leaving when they arrived with their order also waiting 40 minutes, in the end we said we were leaving and they only offered us 2 shots to continue waiting, as if we have the face of drinkers. When asking for the bill, they charged all the orders and if we don't realize it, we pay for what we didn't consume, that is, apart from the margaritas and wings, they also placed the dinner order...I do not recommend this place, there is no planning, apparently they do not have enough staff in the kitchen and everything is very disorganized and crazy. No, no, no!!!We waiting 1 hr 20mnt for the dinner and never arrived is a long time!!!! The manager never, ever came forward to explain if something was happening, she just stood there and watched us, and in the end offered 2 shots as if we were drinkers.

This place is great! I love going there, the service is outstanding and the food is great too. The only thing that really needs to get better is the music. I don’t know who’s in charge of the playlist but they keep playing these 2010s rap and r&b songs that simply don’t fit the vibe! Also, it’s sometimes way too loud.

First of the customer service was top tier... The food was delicious as well... Get the boil signature sauce! And that catfish, OMG! That's all I can think about..Fresh, crispy and very well seasoned... Don't forget to get the tartar sauce to go along with it... Oh, and I forgot the lobster bisque has real bits of lobster in it!!!
