The restaurant is clean, spacious and right around the corner from the university (: The cashier was super friendly, enthusiastic and thorough. I was craving some fried fish and shrimp after a night class and found this gem! Smells great upon arrival I got the Fried Fish & Shrimp Combo w Creole fries. I had a long drive home so I snacked throughout to make sure I tasted it fresh. It was good and could taste the Cajun seasoning through the batter real good and their Creole fries heavily seasoned to taste, love it. After a while tho (ofc) the drive the rest was real cold and the batter was super thick so it made it kind of soggy. still a great meal tho (: i plan to dine in next time read more

Boil Daddy - Fried Fish & Shrimp Combo Cajun Fries - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carson, California

Easy parking. Good, nice, and friendly service by the "daddies" that work there. I've eaten at several other similar restaurants, but the food here didn't quite hit the spot. The flavor was kind of off -- too heavy on the garlic and the sauce was too light. I also find this place too pricey for what you get. I also ordered one side of corn, which is $3.50 for 2 pieces. I was charged $7 but only received 2 pieces of corn. Same thing happened to my coworker who ordered the same thing! Their corn was also on the harder side. $5 for small rice?! I was charged $10 for 2 small rice. BUT ON THE MENU, RICE IS ONLY $2.50! I only received 2 side orders of rice. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DISCREPANCY WITH THE PRICES ON THE MENU AND THE PRICES THAT ARE PRINTED ON THE RECEIPT! Look at my receipt and their menu. I SUGGEST GOING TO SHRIMP LOVER, BOILING CRAB, CRAB SHACK, OR HOT AND JUICY CRAWFISH FOR BETTER QUALITY AND BETTER TASTING FOOD. read more

I ordered from uber eats so this review is solely on the food that I received. Overall the food was okay. It wasn't bad but it definitely could use some improvement. The shrimp was small and the mussels, I kid you not are the tiniest mussels I've ever seen. They were also whole shelled mussels which I think is very unfair because the weight of the shell to weight of the meat inside is a big difference. If I'm paying by the lb. I would like to pay for the lb of what I'm actually eating. The sauce was very watery and not much flavor. I hope they do see all these reviews about the products being so small and having little flavor and fix it because they have potential. I will try again in the future and hopefully some things will have changed. read more

Great menu, food was amazing, service was incredible and the ambiance was quiet which I loved! I'd come back!

The shrimp was such a disappointment. They were so mushy that they just disintegrated while trying to peel them. The Cajun butter sauce was mostly just oil. Would never order from here again. read more

Boil Daddy - Whole mushy old and overcooked shrimp - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carson, California

I was really excited to try out The Boil Daddy, a new spot in the community serving up Cajun/Creole seafood. I mean, who doesn't love a good seafood boil, right? But let me tell you, this place was an experience I wish I could forget...and my stomach wishes it could too. I ordered the fried shrimp boil, which promised seasoning and rice, and for $20, I thought I'd be getting a decent meal. But what I got was 8 shrimp so small they probably could've formed a union and demanded better pay, and two sad scoops of rice that looked like they were rationed out during a food shortage. To top it off, the Cajun seasoning was so sparse I had to double-check if they forgot it on purpose. I finished the meal, and almost immediately, my stomach started plotting its revenge. What followed was a night of grueling stomach pains and a symphony of farts that could rival a brass band at Mardi Gras. I had to ditch my friends and crawl home just to lie down and survive the night. Even now, as I write this, I'm still suffering from the aftermath--and it's the next day! I'm talking non-stop gas & pain. So, if you're thinking about trying The Boil Daddy, do yourself a favor: save your stomach and your wallet. There's nothing worse than paying $20 for a meal that leaves you with more gas than a hot air balloon. Be kind to your booty folks. It's a no-go for me! read more

Good place loud! King of place to go and have fun not quiet for sure ill be back price was resanoble!

The Boil Daddy was a hit - seafood was fresh and service was fast and pleasant. I can't understand why the business is was slow because the food was good. I had a shrimp bowl and friends built a bag! Place is also very clean and staff is amazing!! read more

Boil Daddy - Throwing down in a boil bag and shrimp bowl - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Carson, California

Food was UNDER seasoned. The shrimp tasted like boiled water (no pun intended). I also got the snow crab legs and when cracking a leg, so much water came out. I'm not sure if they have the food sitting in water all day or not, but I will not return. It makes sense why it's "bogo 1/2 off" read more

Terrible place....the service was slow and I did not get what I paid for. I ordered king crab and got little piece of nothing. Will never go there again. read more

The customer service was the only great thing about this place! The food is disgusting! The sausage is not the same that you normally get in a boil. The sauce is nasty, the portion size is small. Just don't waste your time at this location. I am only giving two stars due to customer service and I think the place was clean. I can't really recall it was empty and that should have been our first clue to leave! read more

The sauce was very bland. I was very disappointed . I had the seafood boiled & got extra items. It was kinda hearty, but very bland

Food is not seasoned at all crawfish was terrible . I saw the 3 stars & still wanted to give it a chance should really be 1 star

I ordered through uber eats , I usually love boil daddy but for some reason the last two times I ordered it.. BOTH times there was something in my food. The first time was a hair and this second time was glass AND fly eggs!!! I already left a review on Uber eats but I had to come to yelp because I don't know what's going on with this franchise but I Fasure won't ever eat this again . Kickin crab from now on . read more

Daddy's Shrimp bowl (after several test bites) with mild Daddy Sauce was fresh and had a kick, potatoes were tender. Quick. Friendly. read more

I can't comment on customer service because I ordered online, but the food was decent and what I thought to be a good deal for all that you get. I ordered the Snow Crab Cluster. It was supposed to come with two corns (only got 1), 5 sausages (only got 3) and 5 potatoes. I got the garlic butter mixed with mild spicy Cajun and it was actually really good, but what threw it off was the lemon wedges they put inside the bag. Most boil spots I know give you the lemon on the side but this was in the bag and it threw off the taste because it was just too lemony. I couldn't even eat the corn because it was like infused with the lemon. I did not like it. I also wasn't too fond of the sausage they used, and the potatoes were potatoes. Overall, this is a spot for a quick fix if you're wanting seafood, but not if you want to be fully satisfied or stuffed. read more

For me, the ambiance and service were indeed exceptional. I absolutely love seafood and seafood boils, specifically. So I'd say overall, I had a great experience. I thought the food was cool. The prices are decent, in my opinion. And a customer even came into the restaurant, reviewed the menu, and said she thought the prices were good. I enjoyed myself! Thank you, Boil Daddy! read more

I got the 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 mussels with an order of snow crab . The shrimps were tiny and not fresh , and the mussels had sand in them, there clearly purged correctly . Snow crab was pretty good though. The sauce that it came with was okay , heavy on garlic side . I'm glad I order extra sauce on the side, because the sauce in the bag was not enough. I don't feel like I got my moneys worth. read more

The accent doesn't match experienced seafood boil people. My bag was skimpy. Now I see why the place was empty. read more

Ordered on DoorDash with high hopes before seeing the reviews and I wish I had looked at them first. It's whatever. Sure it's affordable, but the portions are small and the food is just not tasty. read more

Shrimp was very small fries were cold, I thought orleans and York Next door had competition, I was WRONG!! Sorry. I was the only customer inside as well, how can they mess that up. read more

The boil and po'boys were good and the service was very helpful. Lots of options to choose from

Food was just ok. Not great. I don't eat pork and there was sausage in bag. Food was hot. Good value for price. But taste was just ok. Prob won't go again as there are multiple crab places that taste much better in this area. read more

The people here are friendly and clean space but the food isn't good at all. Need some work

Great new seafood/Cajun restaurant that opened in Carson. The food has definitely improved significantly since grand opening which makes sense. Would recommend to people in the area to check out! read more

the food was not seasoned and the sauce has no spice at all. The noodles were undercooked and the shrimp were very small compared to other places. the corn was undercooked as well. the owner was very fidgety and the workers in the back looked clueless all of them are men and you can taste that in the food. the boil was dry , it didn't have enough sauce the owner had to bring a big container of extra sauce out. the salt and pepper was in a ketchup bottle. and they only had tapatio sauce. they didn't have room temperature water and didn't have a restroom to wash hands. read more
