So my husband and I travel and have the opportunity to try all kinds of food. Seafood is our main food group we eat ALL the time. So when i say this was the best seafood boil I have EVER had, i mean it . The most delicious flavor we got the mangers special it’s a mix of the lemon pepper- cajun mix. I will crave this sauce when we move. I’m not even kidding. He had the king crab with 1 sausage 1 corn 1 potato. I had the king crab with crawfish 1 potato, and we did the Wednesday special on the shrimp to share. They really hooked it up. The staff were very friendly, the building was clean, and it looked great. It definitely won’t be the last time we will be going back multiple times before we move. I can’t get enough thanks yall for all yalls amazingness.

We had heard about this restaurant from our daughter. We got there for an early dinner, so we were the only customers there. The first thing we noticed is it’s clean, and very hospitable. The decore makes for a more nostalgic feel. We get to the counter and the man explains how the boil bags are ordered. I had gotten a pound of crawfish, a pound of mussels 1/2 pound of shrimp, 2 small red potatoes and a half a corn on the cob. My husband had gotten the same except he got crab instead of mussels, and sausage. The man at the counter suggested the manager special for the sauce. It is a Cajun lemon pepper seasoning. You get to pick your spiciness, there is mild, medium and hot. My husband and I both chose medium. We also both got a soda. We paid $99, it sounds expensive, but well worth it. We will go about 1-2 times a month. They line the table with wax paper, so you can dump the bag out and eat. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I brought some home for my daughter. I warmed it up in a 320⁰ oven covered for 10 minutes. She loved it too. So we fed 3 people with all that we had. They also have outdoor dining if you prefer. There’s a deep sink to wash your hands after you eat. You definitely get messy.

Our family loves seafood and while we were in town we wanted to try something new. I’m so glad we did, the Boiling Pot is awesome. You come in, pick what you want, pay, sit down and eat. The garlic sauce is so good! And for picky eaters the kids loved the fried catfish. Will definitely come back for more.

This has been the best restaurant in the area since it opened. I live out of town and come here to visit family every once and a while but I have to come to Dockside at least once every time I visit.

Two people in my party enjoyed the fried shrimp basket. I got the boil. It a little different than I’m used to in ordering. You order each individual item for the boil. Such as shrimp, crab and so on. Then if you want potatoes or corn. They are priced individually. So it gets pricey quick. But it was fresh and tasty. Staff was super friendly. Just one note. They were using a pine-sol type of cleaner on the floor next to us. A the smell was so strong. The thing I don’t want to smell when I’m getting ready to eat is pine- sol. But other than that I would definitely go back.
