It was very good. Everyone loved their food. Service was great, they were busy, and worked very hard as a team. Tonya was great!. Get the garlic butter spicy . Very tasty!!!

My experience at Boil Bay on midlothian definitely made up for the not so good experience in Colonial Heights. Our waitress Jahaira(hope I spelled that right) was amazing. She even has a twin sister who is also a waitress there, how awesome!? We order the (B) half shrimp and half crawfish with the crab legs in the mild boil bay sauce. We also got the Wings which were really good and the Cajun fries. Everything was so good. I don’t normally eat my corn or potatoes whenever we go to a seafood boil because I feel like the sauce is either too spicy for those two things or there isn’t enough sauce to cover them; but I definitely ate them this time lol. We are definitely going to return! I liked that the sauce wasn’t oily or that is was enough in the bag for everything I ordered. I also enjoyed the live entertainment, I am not really into country music but it was definitely a good vibe. Our food was a little under $125 dollars without the tip. For what it’s worth, it was worth it.

I reserved the party room for my birthday, and the service was horrible. I asked to speak to the manager. A guy named Jake Ryan, who said that he was the general manager was awful, completely awful and offered no resolution for the problems I brought to his attention. There's no way this man could be the general manager of any business. I definitely don't recommend using this location.

The staff was nice. Our waitress was attentive. The garlic butter sauce in the boil was great! The drinks were just right. We had a catfish poboy, a combo B and a kids menu shrimp and fries. They have live music. A bit loud.

My BF and I traveled 50 miles to come here based on the reviews and they didn’t disappoint! Atmosphere cool, friendly staff, good food and drinks! Also the calamari rings are so huge I thought they got our order wrong and brought onion rings, lol and they were VERY good as well. I only only gave 4 stars because we ordered the “fire” spice level for our boil and to us it had no kick at all. I was expecting ?as in needing to sip some water kind of hot and that’s not what we got. My kids probably could’ve eaten the boil without complaining. Not sure if this was fluke or not otherwise good flavor. Seasoning was good but no heat. I would visit again if I come back to the area and probably bring some chili powder to spice my bag up a little more. Otherwise Good choice.

The Boil Bay wings were great! Crispy and that great sauce ! Steamer bag was great!

It’s one of the few restaurant found outside of Louisiana that can call themselves Cajun - from a family born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA.We’ll be back again.- Food was cooked well and didn’t feel “from frozen”, which is a compliment. We order the shrimp boil combo, hush puppies, fried rice and catfish + a couple of kids meals- Service - Clinton and the rest of the staff was friendly from beginning to end- Ambiance - clean and we like the decor, there is also enough spacing to feel safe still during a pandemicWe dove to our food so next time we’ll have to take better pictures vs. post eating ?‍♀️

The environment is very pleasant and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The seafood boil was very tasty and seasoned. The only negative I would say that my soda was flat but I will return to this restaurant.

Great food and nice atmosphere

Took the kids to try everything out. Food was great I think there was more shrimp and crab legs in my boil a plus ? great atmosphere also
