Since it's crawfish season, please be careful where you spend your funds. Do not go to 88 Boiling Crawfish & Seafood Restaurant if you do, use cash. I've been coming to this place since I was in high school, and I'm deeply disappointed in this business. Last Sunday, 3/30, I went and got wings and fried rice; my total was $15.13. On Monday, my bank updated the charge to $35.13 due to a 'tip.' I tried calling to speak with a manager and was told to come back. I brought my receipt...read full review
Do not patron this business. Theyre thieves. You will pay for your order and then they will add a tip to the final receipt. They will lie and say the bank did this, but I work for banks. This isn’t true. Then when the customer tried to address this issue, the ghetto service person laughed at her. Don’t eat here.
I enjoyed the flavor, BUT your bill includes “tip” for a party of 2. And unless you are a hawk eye, you will add the “gratuity “ so graciously calculated for you. I am all up for compensating hard work, but a tip is automatically included for a party of 6 or more in most restaurants, BUT a party for 2? No thanks. That’s a scam.

88 Boiling offers delicious food like garlic blue crab, shrimp, mango sticky rice, and fried catfish. Customers enjoy the house salad and crawfish with house season mix, which are huge and flavorful. Many say the garlic butter crawfish is everything, with consistent flavor, above-average size, and a customizable spice. The restaurant also serves grilled oysters that receive high praise. Although the place is small and has a humble mom-and-pop feel, it features a drive-through and is BYOB. Visitors often find the food worth the wait and the drive, with many planning to return to enjoy the tasty crawfish and other dishes. Some customers have noted that the fried catfish is the freshest they've tasted, and the service is quick and attentive. The food comes out fresh and hot, and portions are generous enough to share. While some found the corn bland and had mixed experiences with mango sticky rice, most agree that the flavors are enjoyable. Despite the simple appearance and somewhat hot atmosphere, 88 Boiling is recognized as a hidden gem for exceptional crawfish and a good overall experience. It's a nice place to take a friend or family member for quality time, with prices suitable for a lunch or dinner budget.
