AWFUL! WORST MEAL I'VE EVER HAD – DO NOT EAT HERE. Absolute worst meal I've ever had, hands down! First we ordered drinks -- simple enough right? The only drink at our table that was drinkable was a water with lemon. The rest of us ordered iced tea, some sweet and some unsweet. The sweet tea was disgusting. It tasted as though it had been sitting in its container for days -- it tasted metallic and stale. I informed the waitress of the funkyness and changed my drink order to a coke and? Flat. Plus she charged me for each drin... read more

forget it ! – I have eaten authentic cajun food and for the price and the quality,.it sucks,.the food is average at best and the last time I was there,.the owner was rude and the staff was lack lustre at best,..save your money and cook your own at home,.also the pungent smell of urine off the creek was not something that I would have requested in my dining experience,...please avoid this over-priced, over glorified Austin rip-off.

GOOD TRY AT CRAWFISH – Crawfish not authentic, they were boiled in plane water then spice just dumped on them, almost like a butter and spice, not good. Shrimp over cooked, sausage was terrible, And was all completely over priced. The oysters were a joke....Crabs where as they were over cooked and then just keep in a refrigerator, terrrible.

We had a GREAT time. – The waitress was fun and helpful. We've tried other seafood place's away from the coast, and were dissapointed. As soon as we walked in, we could smell the spices. This place ROCKS!!! Good fresh seafood at these prices this far from the coast? You can't get any better!

Worst Seafood in Austin – I enjoy seafood but this was worst I ever had. First off the service was horrendous. We sat around and waited for the waitress for 20 minutes before finally taking our order. The restaurant was empty, but we still received poor service. We received no drink refills. The sausage was not very good. It was pretty much flavorless. Possibly the worst sausage I have ever had. The shrimp was overcooked and mushy. It was horrible. When I cracked into the crab it smelled horrible. It was obviously bad. We bo... read more

AVOID!!!! – A few friends and I were in austin tx for vacay and randomly chose to eat at the boiling pot....BAD DECISION. The shrimp tasted like nothing were not properly cooked and way under-seasoned. The sausage also tasted like absolutly nothing as did the oysters. The waitress was very rude and even gave us dirty looks through the glass window (we were eating outside). We honestly contemplated not paying. The only good part about the meal was the the blue moon we were drinking and the humor of how bad the food actually w... read more

Stay Away – My wife and I ate at the BoilingPot this evening and were misguided by the fun looking decorations. We have a bay house on the coast and frequently have shrimp and crab boils with our family so we were excited about the BoilingPot. However, the crawfish was small, mushy and had no taste, the potatoes were uneatable, they were so bad, the crab was not cook all of the way and appeared they had been cooked after being dead, and the shrimp was so over cooked that they could not be peeled. Over all the food seemed tha... read more
