I recently ordered takeout from Boil Bay in Virginia Beach and it was disappointed. I ordered the crab leg combo with mild seasoning, but it was bland and lacked any flavor. Service horrible.

The food was honestly just okay....the sauce for the boil was the best(garlic butter spicy)...the cajun fries were bland....most of the food lack flavor. I would never go there again ....it seem really low buget...they give you 2 potatoes and 1 corn ...and a 1/2 or 1lb of whatever meat of choice...it was simply just okay. The restaurant setup was decent.

We had reservations... place was basically emptybut they wouldnt seat the first 5 gues. .Waitress started off rude... and acting confused. She added 3 other peoples drinks on my tab, didnt see it until i got home. Several of our guest were noticing her attitude. I went up to the front desk to ask a question and was told to settke any discrepencies at my table. Lets just say GO TO THE 1 ON HOLLAND ROAD.... Much more class!

I recently had a disappointing experience at Boil Bay that I feel compelled to share. I ordered a fried shrimp six-piece, chicken wings, and half a pound of shrimp, and the quality and portion sizes were far below expectations. The fried shrimp were not only poorly proportioned but also lacked the freshness and flavor I was hoping for. The chicken wings were mediocre at best, and the shrimp felt like an afterthought rather than the highlight of the meal.

If you’re looking for a satisfying seafood experience, do yourself a favor and head over to Twisted Crab on Monticello instead. They consistently deliver fresh, high-quality food that never disappoints. These good reviews are FALSE. Save your time and money!

I'm so Shocked at the service @the Norfolk location! The server we had was Very Passive aggressive and Refused to take Any Accountability for her lack if professionalism. Very defensive and dismissive! She messed up several of our food orders. Food was missing or totally the wrong order. Not sure how since she wrote everything down. Definitely Not the right vibe!

Tried to order online but it went to insta cart, the food was extremely expensive but the trouble is the order wasn't correct, they offered to fix it but that meant driving there. There's a reason I didn't drive there in the first place, I personally will never order or go to their restaurant ever.

Our original Waitress had a wonderful personality. The wait for service took a while because she was also serving another large party. I went to the bar to see if I could order a drink because she was busy and we'd been waiting about 20 mins. The first young lady at the bar turned around and to me said: "you'll be aight" .....not sure what that even meant but Extremely unprofessional and made no effort professionally to improve the situation. The bar is not allowed to serve you if you already are sitting at a table which is understood. But allowing your employees to rudely brush off a customer is not acceptable. She should not be allowed to handle customers

The customer service here is ok the energy of our waitress was good the host who greeted us upon arrival his hosting skills need a little more energy and enthusiasm, however with all that said the food here was amazing I had the shrimp po boy my nephew had one of those crab,corn , shrimp, potatoes bag it was sooooo delicious how my goodness gracious the food at this place is five star if there was a ten star I would have given it to them I went there on Sunday and I'm writing this review on Monday and my taste buds and still moon walking after that meal.

This place is always off and on but my job gave me a gift card and a friend of mine was hosting karaoke there so I took a co-worker to have drinks and dinner. The food was very salty the bartenders were very scatter brained for them to not have to deliver there own food to the table. At the end of dinner we tried to use the cards our job gave us and it came back as an error with the cards, but the manager came back with security. I asked why because that felt intimidating and we had other forms of payment. The security went off on us about he goes where he wants ets and to pay. The manager apologized for how he spoke to us. As we were leaving security went and called the POLICE. The police walked us out and advised we were banned. I asked why he stated no why your just banned and if you come back your going to jail. This was not necessary the cards did have an issue but we did pay and did not cause any disruption to the restaurant
