I have been looking for a local seafood boil place that rivals or even comes close to Kickin' Crab. I think it's safe to say that I've officially found that place. Not only was the sauce just as delicious, the quality and quantity of seafood seemed to surpass that of the Boil Daddy rival! I ordered the spiciest one which had a good kick, but I think it could have been spicier. Definitely not anything too hot to handle. What impressed me just as much as the food, was the service and care provided by Joe, the GM. He was extremely attentive and tended to our every need. You could tell he truly cared about the customer experience. He even provided us a complimentary cheesecake which was amazing! The bar looked amazing and they had plenty of booze available, though I didn't partake. I will definitely be back here in very chance I get as this is my type of place! Bravo Boil Daddy read more

We were looking for a seafood boil spot in LA and came across Boil Daddy and decided to check it out. The service was great! The waitress, Sam, helped us out and was very attentive and nice! We ordered the calamari and 2 lb of crawfish. The food was decently good, but the calamari was more fries than calamari. There was barely a hand full of calamari and a whole mountain was fries. It was good but def think they should have more calamari on there. The crawfish sauce was good, but it also wasn't a lot. I'm used to my seafood being in a lot of sauce/broth. I felt like I had to really scoop to the bottom to get more flavor. Lastly, they have bottled beer, none on tap. Def wish they did tho! read more

I went to Boil Daddy on Monday for my friend's birthday. It's a little like Boiling Crab, but not as chaotic. I would argue it's slightly upscale. The food: fantastic. I tried the garlic soy wings because everyone raved about them here. They live up to the hype! I got a crab bag for my entree. The sauce was flavorful, the crab was plentiful, and the shrimp was tender. My one complaint was I was supposed to get sausage in the bag but I got potatoes instead. However, everyone is right about the service. There seemed to be only one girl working the floor, and she didn't seem interested in taking care of us. We had to ask for a lot of stuff, and after the third time flagging her damn she seemed super annoyed about helping us. I hope this isn't the normal service here. If it is, what a shame! I'd try this place again but they need to train their staff how to be more attentive. read more

Stopped in here during a holiday weekend a few weeks back and found the overall experience fine, but nothing super memorable. When I walked in there were no workers in the restaurant and the couple in front of me were whispering to each other trying to decide if they should leave. Someone eventually popped out of the back, but a single waiter/host for the entire restaurant meant he was stretched thin. The dining room is pretty drab. The music was low. The two or three other tables of people were quiet as well. These kinds of crab spots are all about being a bit fun, but that wasn't really happening here. The food itself was solid enough. I went with a cluster of snow crab legs, clams and the sausage, potatoes and corn that come with it. Sauce could have used a bit more kick and was pretty oily. The crabs were cooked very well and tasted fresh. The clams were pretty much mush. This is my second or third visit over the years and it feels like they may be in a cutting corners stage. Unfortunate, because my first visits here were pretty good. Not horrible in a pinch if you're craving a seafood boil, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. read more

I have ordered from here before but this time I fumbled. I typically order the mild spice level but tbh it doesn't have much spice so this time I decided to order medium spice level. Big mistake. My lips were on FIRE. Milk didn't even help that much. It was inedible so I washed off the sauce lmao. Luckily I had ordered shrimp in mild flavor so I was able to use that sauce for the crab legs that were medium spice. Learn from me and don't order the medium unless you enjoy your tongue and lips on fire and numb! I placed an online order for pick up. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of tables inside for dining. They also have a bar area for drinks. The had a step and repeat inside which was cute. There is some parking on the side of the building so that was nice. read more

I love cajun seafood! This place is great for seafood plate with a lot of flavors. My friend didn't really eat much usually but this time she ate like going to an AYCE. The flavor is just right and not too salty or spicy. The rice plates are also really good. Servers are very friendly. They tried to converse with us. Great vibe and wonderful food! read more

Service was great. Food was amazing!! In my honest opinion it was better than boiling crab and there was no wait!!

The restaurant looked like it's a new restaurant, was not busy at the time that I went. I was literally the only person there for a cool minute. ordered one snow cluster, which came with sausages, Potatoes, I ordered 2 boiled eggs and steamed rice. The snow cluster barely had any meat in it, however the sauce was okay. I tore it up because it was a pregnancy craving(seafood boil). I like how it was pretty close to Culver City, it was nice and clean inside. Cool looking restaurant inside, it just wasn't busy at the time I went. They left a note on my car, I kind of felt a ways because like I said I was like one of the only customers in there. It was alright, would've been better if the crab legs had more meat read more

Boil Daddy - West LA - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came here while in LA because we were craving seafood, but overall, the experience was just okay. I ordered the shrimp with original garlic butter and a side of potatoes. The shrimp was decent, but I didn't love it--especially after trying my date's crab, which was so much better. I also wish I had gone for a higher spice level or added some Cajun seasoning because the flavor was pretty underwhelming, and the potatoes felt the same--just kind of bland. Unfortunately, the service was a real letdown. We weren't ready to order right away, but once we were, it took forever for someone to come back. Our waters were empty most of the time, and when we were ready to pay, it was nearly impossible to get their attention. The inside of the building was full of fun decorations, so it was a fun environment. And it's always fun to eat food with our fingers! They were prepared for us to get messy, ha! If I came back, I'd definitely order the crab and go for a cajan seasoning and a higher spice level. read more

Finally tried out the Boil Daddy after seeing them on Postmates/UberEats, and I definitely think it's worth a try! I actually like it a bit more than Boiling Crab, which is too greasy and gives me a bit of stomach discomfort. Boil Daddy's sauce is excellent- the perfect mix of garlicky, Cajun and butter, but the medium did not have ANY spice at all (would recommend going for the highest spice level). I also thought that the seasoning was inconsistent between different dishes, as I ordered both Daddy's sauce in medium heat for my shrimp boil and shrimp bowl, but the bowl was much spicier + saltier. Overall, the seafood quality was consistently VERY fresh and high quality in both dishes, and I'd definitely try their other seafood offerings (e.g. clams, mussels, crab) next time. My only gripe is that Postmates/Uber Eats has a very weird upcharge system for their deals. The 1/2 pound of shrimp (head on) was upcharged from $10 to $15 for BOGO, and the shrimp bowls were upcharged from $16 to $22 (they even have the original prices on the app!). Granted, you're still getting a good deal where you're getting double portions for cheaper, but it does feel frustrating seeing this inconsistency in pricing. While everything was packaged well and arrived quickly, I would probably recommend checking this spot out in person since it would be cheaper than ordering online.

The boil daddy is a really cool Cajun Restaurant located in west LA. I got it delivered but it came on time and it was still hot when I got it. I ordered the Cajun fires and the Daddy Shrimp Bowl. The Cajun fries were good, nice crispy and fresh with the sauce and lemon it definitely helps it level up. The Daddy Shrimp Bowl was also delicious. The potatoes were nice soft seasoned and the sausage was nice and juicy. It also came with a decent amount shrimp as well the sauce compliments it really well. Would definitely eat it again. 4/5 read more

It was an ok experience overall. My family and I were in west La and looking for crab legs and we decided to try it out. The service is ok, they didn't follow our orders instructions , messed up my bag and forgot a whole 1/2 lbs shrimp which we cancelled as we already started eating. Food is good , nothing special you order the seafood, the sauce , the spice level, etc. overall was good but won't go out of my way to go again. read more

I am a diehard fan of Boiling Crab, but I live very close to this Boil Daddy location so we wanted to try DD for our first time and we were very impressed. It's very similar to all the other pull and peel shrimp places in that you choose your seafood, your sauce, and heat level and then they bring it out to you in a bag where you then get messy and eat the entire bag on the table southern style. I would say the pricing here is very fair, and the portion sizes are as advertised. They have a large bar inside as well as many tables but even their own website states they are more oriented toward to go orders so dining so that's probably why the service is slower compared to other shrimp places. Our server was polite but we barely saw him during our entire meal even though it was not crowded when we stopped in for a late Sunday dinner. For our first visit, we got a mix of head on shrimp and snow crab legs in the daddy sauce at the hottest level. The spice heat level is not nearly as strong as Boiling Crab so honestly I would suggest everyone just get the hottest sauce level because it really isn't that hot (and I say this as a western white guy). Everything that we ordered was cooked as we liked and aside from the slow drink refills we had a great meal. I would suggest to any fan of peeled shrimp, although just be aware that this place is more geared toward to go orders. read more

It was my first time here, and I was celebrating my nephew's 13th birthday. The service and food were amazing! I ended getting a seafood bag with shrimp, daddy sauce and the linguine noodles and a mango margarita! I ordered the half pound of shrimp and that was more than enough. If I go back I will definitely try more options - and also the music rotation was soooooo good! A lot of good 2000s throwbacks. There is a small parking lot to the side of the restaurant but you're better off parking on the street. read more

The food was bomb! i had the daddy noods, friends had seafood boil, wings and fish and chips plate. everything was so delicious and spicy! even the mild is pretty spicy and we love spice! We did have to ask several times for water, sauce that my friend never got and gloves so that my friend could eat her seafood boil. they weren't that busy. also, we had went over the checks and they were messed up twice. he was rude about the whole thing, we didn't get checked up on and we were missing a lot of things on each our order. the food is delicious don't get me wrong, but the service was really bad. it was my friends birthday and we were really disappointed. we waiting about 15 minutes for new checks, our original waiter didn't want to help us anymore so we had to flag down another one. the service was poor. that's why 2 stars. great music tho, lol! our new waiter who separated our checks was very nice and patient! he had black glasses, thank you sir. read more

Incredible prices and loved the flavor! I went in on a Saturday but there was designated parking (yay)! I also didn't wait at all which is always a plus. After much contemplation, I ended up getting a pound of shrimp with potatoes and got the spiciest option because I read that the other reviews said they run on the sweeter side. But this ended up actually being a little too spicy for my liking, which is my fault lol. But the flavor was amazing! Perfect blend of spices and sweetness. They also have a really good deal from Monday-Thursdays, so definitely would want to be back during that time. The ambiance is a lively vibe, and the service was also good! They give you a whole case of gloves to use and a bib (5/5 stars for that)! The only thing is that I had an upset tummy after eating this. Still would say it's worth it though! I'll definitely come back! read more

I'm always impressed with how consistent this place is. It's a very low key vibe, definitely built for the drinkers. The food is always good, fresh, and AFFORDABLE! My go to is the fried shrimp platter which comes with fries. The shrimp are large with a flavorful batter. On this visit I got the shrimp to go with no fries. The service is always very friendly, but can be a bit slow if they are busy. In past visits, I've ordered the Shrimp Po'boy but the number of shrimp was not impressive. read more

**Rating: 3.5/5** I found the mild boil daddy shrimp to be a bit bland at first, but once I added some salt, pepper, and lemon, it became yummy! The sweet chili wings and the sausage in our shrimp boil were also enjoyable. However, I did have some concerns. There were only two staff members on duty, which made it difficult to get assistance and settle the bill in a timely manner. Additionally, the restaurant felt warm since there was no air conditioning, just fans. The ambiance was somewhat dreary with all the navy blue walls. We also dealt with flies throughout our meal, which, while not necessarily the staff's fault, could be mitigated with a fly zapper placed away from the dining area. Overall, I'd be willing to return if I'm in the area again. There was no wait compared to other shrimp boil places, and the manager's deals were quite good! read more

Came here with high hopes but left disappointed. The biggest plus was that they have their own parking lot, which made getting in easy--rare for West LA. But unfortunately, the food and experience didn't live up to expectations. When we walked in, we weren't greeted--just shouted at from across the room to sit wherever. The service overall felt a bit disorganized and uninterested. Not rude, but definitely not welcoming either. My boyfriend and I decided to splurge and each got a half pound of king crab. What we received was honestly laughable. I had maybe two or three bites of crab total. For $48, it felt like a complete rip-off. My boyfriend's portion had slightly more meat, but still nowhere near a true half pound. The portion sizes were so small that we left feeling like we paid a premium price for a snack. To be fair, the shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage, and seasoning were actually really good. The flavor of the boil itself was solid. But the crab portion was such a letdown it overshadowed everything else. If you're coming here, skip the king crab and stick to the other proteins. Otherwise, you'll be paying top dollar for disappointment. I wish we had just gone somewhere else. read more

Definitely a solid option if you're craving a Cajun seafood boil on the Westside. I went with one of their combos that came with lobster, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage. Portions were fair and it's nice that you can customize the spice level and add extras like eggs or more seafood. The wings were also a surprise standout and the cajun were fire. We also got Daddy's Noods which is pasta tossed in their Cajun butter sauce, really good. The space itself is casual but a little nicer than your average boil spot, and there's a big parking lot which makes it convenient. Prices aren't cheap, but you get a decent amount of food for what you're paying. read more
