We went on a Friday afternoon and the place was empty but everything we ate was so good! The fried catfish was fantastic, the sauce on the seafood boil was delicious and had the perfect level of spice. Our shrimp was the tiniest bit overcooked but still edible and we finished the entire bag. It doesn’t say it in the menu but the specialty lemonade is carbonated, which took me by surprise and probably would have caused me to order something else had I known.

The food is great! Wish they gave more than 1 small piece of a corn cob when I paid for corn as an extra inside. I noticed less items in the seafood boil bag than other cajun seafood boil places I’ve been to as well.

Great portions of the food and the crab legs were very good. The young man that served us (sorry didn’t get his name) was working by himself and was GREAT! Location was real “quaint” but great food & service.

My whole bag of seafood was amazing. Just wish it was more spicy and a lot of garlic in the bag. Sad they didn’t have garlic lemon pepper spaghetti. My one big problem is my cups were dirty and stuff was floating in it and around the cup. I was afraid to order any other drink. But the place was cute

Absolutely wonderful. The food was very delicious. If you order chicken make sure give them at least 30-40 minutes to prepare your order.

I’ve been going to this place for years. Food has always been delicious. Service has always been friendly and attentive. Cleanliness is an A+. If you’ve never been, you should definitely go.

My wife and I come here all the time—this place is so good. The best seafood boil in Boston without a doubt.

A solid take on Louisiana-style boiled seafood. My daughter was extremely happy with the crab and shrimp combo. I ordered the dungeness crab, and was less satisfied with the portion and lack of accompaniment. There was also no air conditioning and limited ventilation, so it was quite stuffy. Still, the staff was friendly and the food was tasty.

We checked this place out for dinner and oh my goodness they didn’t disappoint! We started off with a platter fresh, juicy oysters. Then, we got the seafood boil: crawfish combo with mussels and corn. Our spice level was spicy and it was just enough for us. They give bibs, gloves, and wipes which are super helpful for this delicious, but messy meal. Not pictured: large, spicy Korean fried chicken wings and sweet potato fries. Both were delicious. Highly recommend this place! Parking can be a little difficult to find, but public parking is available 7 minutes away (walking). You NEED to try Holly Crab in Allston!

Seafood – FRESH! Sauces were extremely flavorful and the sausage was juicy. The corn was sweet and fresh. There was an array of potatoes that were extremely tender. Shrimp was good, although a lot of time was spent de-heading and pealing as they weren’t as easy to peal as they could’ve been.
