Reviews The Boil House

Boil House is hands-down my favorite crawfish place in Houston. It’s apparent that they take pride in what they serve. If you go later in the day, the crawfish just get more flavorful and spicy. The shrimp are butterflied which makes them super easy to peel and soaks up the flavors even more. We recognize the same staff each time we go in which is so great to see. They’re only open during crawfish season so get them while you can!

Loved this place. It's a very no-frills type setting and the focus is definitely on the food. Get the mild flavor if you're someone like me with zero spice tolerance. Also bring some paper towels with you. They do have napkins but they weren't very effective in my experience.

If you want to try a different place to have crawfish this place wont disappoint. The flavor was good and not overwhelming. The dining room isnt all to large but thats ok because you can sit outside and enjoy the outdoors. Pricing is reasonable. They have a small variety of drink options, both soda and alcohol. They also have shrimp but did not try them since were pricey and only sold by the pound. They have potatoes, mushrooms and corn sold with your meal and or sold separately. They have three spice levels and we ordered the medium. They will give you a side of extra dipping spices. They also have a drive thru for pick up orders.

I'm never disappointed when I get crawfish here! The flavor is always on point, the service is great, and it's the cutest little place in a cute area that you can walk around and go explore after! Highly recommend!

I’ve came here for a couple years now, GREAT SEASONING, still my favorite place in town for juicy crawfish 🦞 They have great size portions on the sausage links, plus the biggest crawfish 🦞 in town (Trust me I’ve tried many places)! They’re service also is super fast 💨

This is a straight to the point kind of place. Parking isn’t obvious and it’s very limited but once you find a spot to park, your next feat will be finding a place to sit. It’s very small so it might be good to check to see if you will be there at the busy times. If there was more room to sit, I would for sure give this place a five star. Here are the reasons why I enjoyed this place. First the menu is straight to the point you know that you were here to get one of a few things shrimp, crawfish or something else. So if you’re a picky eater or you have children who are this is not the place. However if you are looking for a good crawfish and good shrimp, I would definitely recommend this place. The crawfish is fresh and the shrimp were seasoned. The pricing is about what you’d expect for I’m boil type place. The atmosphere is good, but be sure to come on a nice day because the weather will play a factor into your overall experience. Keep in mind that they have the option of I’m going through the drive-through. Overall our experience here was great we will be back for sure, just during a time when it’s less busy. Also I would recommend trying the dipping sauce it’s pretty good.

Top knotch. Great service. Very friendly staff. Crabs and shrimp were excellent. Shrimp peeled easy. Crab meat popped right out. Seasoned perfect.

Love love the Crawfish. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The shell is soft and easy to peel. We went on Friday in February, so they were not very big yet as it is still early in the season. Service was friendly. It is BYOB. However, they do sale waters and sodas. Street parking only, but after 6pm you can park at Buchanan's across the street. IF you get there before they open - line up to the left of the garage door, or else everyone will rush in before you.

The crawfish here is really good! They only have bottled water, no cup water. The service is super fast! There’s indoor and outdoor seating. The parking is a bit tight but it works. They only have 1 single bathroom.

Liked the crawfish, didn't like them served up in bags, however it did keep them nice and hot! Good selections of beer and nice atmosphere. This is a seasonal place and served crawfish and shrimp only. Enjoy!

If you're from New Orleans or Louisiana in general you will love this place! They serve traditional Louisiana style (the right way😉) crawfish! Flavorful and always fresh! They season the water not the shell! I was sold with the drive thru! Must visit if you're looking for a piece of home during crawfish season!

OMGGGG as a Louisiana native where the seasonings and boil originated hear me out!!!! I have to say that this is THE BEST Crawfish I have encountered in all of Houston, we have tried many other places and the garlic and butter all unnecessarily drenched on crawfish or extensive amounts of butter for no particular reason at all was all we seemed to find. This place though, freshly boiled daily we come EVERY weekend since the first time we discovered this GEM in February 2023. The owner is also from Louisiana and he undoubtedly bought the taste and Cajun with him. There is always a nice pleasant crowd here enjoying their great seasoned seafood and potatoes sausage links all straight from Louisiana and it is delicious. We’ve come so many times during this crawfish season and they never disappoint. You must go before the end of season on June 12th. We will be visiting as much as we can before they stop serving crawfish and even then they will still be offering the best Dungeness crabs snow crabs shrimp and sausage I have tasted here as well. You must go to see for yourselves. This is the BEST CRAWFISH HOUSTON has to offer

This place is the best if you're looking for some good, Spicy, authentic Louisiana style crawdads WITHOUT seasoning all over the outside, but packed with flavor. It's a pricey venture but worth the splurge if you can swing it. They have alcoholic beverages, including beer and a couple frozen drinks that are made with real liquor.

Met friends here for crawfish. Love that they offer variations of spicy levels. You can also order corn and potatoes if you want! Shocked at how fast everything came out. Staff here is incredibly kind and very customer service based. Loved my experience here!
