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. Recent visitors say the sauce is thicker and even better than before, and the spicy option is truly spicy. Live crawfish and blue crabs are also available. 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 a platter of fried catfish and shrimp offers great value. Grilled fish plates with lemon are also popular, and the sweet potato fries are very good. 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.
