This restaurant has changed names/management 3 or 4 times. This current one (now called Cajun Boil Stop) is awful. I ordered the snow crab combo which is 2 clusters. A few of the clusters had little meat in them. It was over cooked and the sauce was just okay. The waitstaff was lazy and not very accommodating when we asked if they could change a tv to a game. The waitress said, "I'll ask, but they probably won't do it." We asked them why not and she said bc they were watching the BET awards ( they being the STAFF, not other customers).I would just skip this place altogetber.
Rudest experience I’ve ever encountered. We decided to leave after 4 separate instances all before being seated. Sad to say they will never earn our business again. What’s more sad is they couldn’t have cared less. We were patrons for many years and so was my extended family. RIP BOILING POTS/BOILING STOP! We took our $300 dinner to another place in McKinney and they did not disappoint.
Great food! Awesome customer service! My daughter is addicted and then there’s my 82 year old mom. There is always a war at home if we take leftovers! My daughter will sneak in the kitchen and mom hears her breaking them legs! Sauce is perfect! Timely service! And they are extremely friendly with my grandkids! Guess you can say we are regulars! And the music had me moving more than just the happy food dance! I think most reviews that are bad are because some people go in miserable and angry from something else! ??♀️ But Boiling Stop NEVER LETS IS DOWN!!
I’ve been to this restaurant a few times in the past and used to love it. As of late it’s left a less than savory impression. This is the 2nd time I’ve tried to come in the last few months and the kitchen is somehow closed. The close time is 8:30pm, I’ve come at 7:45, 7:35, & 7:50; all of which I was told the kitchen was closed. If no orders can be placed after a certain time, that needs to be posted on the door or somewhere bc it seems to change every time I go in lately. And it’s not that the restaurant is busy or packed, these are weekday occurrences. Really unfortunate…
Food was great, service was terrible. The waitress walked up to the table with an attitude and was rude the entire visit. I don't often write reviews, but I was fairly upset with the service we were given.
I almost hate to write this review. I say that because if the word spreads it will turn into that other Boiling place that is so crowded that they won't even answer the phone. And honestly, I think Boiling Spot/Pots is better. The price is a little higher per pound, I believe, but the lack of a ridiculous wait and good service, great food makes it worth any dollar value.My wife and I have been coming here for years and we love the shrimp. We don't do crawfish anymore since we feel the shrimp is the better value per pound. We get the sauce heat level as hot. I order a side of French bread which comes with drawn butter. I dump the drawn butter in the bag of sauce and drip the bread into that! Not diet food. Heat level is perfect for us. Shrimp tends to be cooked perfect every time too. It's been hit or miss at the other boiling place. I'm not trying to bash the other boiling place, I love it too but for me this is where I come when I'm in a mood for seafood.
Seafood is generally expensive everywhere, but at least here they measure in pounds so you know exactly what you're going to get. We've been here 2 or 3 times now and it's quickly become a favorite. The service has been great every time we've gone, and there's never been a long wait to be seated. We'll be back.
The wings are the best I’ve had. My family loves their seafood!! The only downfall is that when you dine in, the server only brings your food and drinks (only 1 round) and after that they don’t check on you if you need anything. You have to call a server instead. They also charge 12-15% tip from your bill, which I don’t mind but I also expect the server to serve us.
Came in at 7:37 was told they don’t seat anyone after 7:30 but that isn’t mentioned on their website google information or anything. When asked to speak to the supervisor was rudely spoken to saying they don’t have to tell anyone that meaning people waste their time driving all the way to their business to be turned away and very rudely at that. I just saw a whole family go in at 7:43 and get seated to eat with no issues. Interesting how this works. Never again.
I ordered red beans and catfish with butterfly shrimp. The red beans (which were in a plastic container) had about a 1/4 inch of grease sitting atop them. The shrimp was burnt. The fish wasn’t cat, it was swai and it smelled weird. The fanta was good tho so i added a star for it and the hush puppies.
