Boiled crawfish. Size was very nice but super Dry. No water dripping out when pealing. Must had cooked for a few hours prior to my ordering. Seasoning was good. Service was great. Sausage was dry. Two glasses water and one drink due to being to dry. Grilled chicken. Dry. Seasoning was good Salad was good. Atmosphere was great. read more

We went here looking for crawfish and, although small at this time of year, they were delicious. We also noticed they had blue crabs and ordered some of those too, not expecting them to be good this far from MD. But they were probably the best we've ever had - big juicy and so fresh! Will definitely come here again next time we're passing through. read more

Tried the half and half poboy! Half crawfish and half fried oysters. When you can't decide this is an amazing sandwich. The crawfish is meaty and the oysters are crispy! Yum! It's an ala cart menu unless you buy a dinner. The lunch salad is large and has hard boiled eggs with your choice of shrimp, crawfish or chicken! Bring your appetite for the salad. They have specials daily and the buffet is small with the specials. It was BBQ ribs and chicken with two sides and salad items on the buffet. A favorite for the locals! Great find read more

Let's start with I am a northerner from Georgia. I am traveling on business and this place was recommended by the hotel. Large place with lots of parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Alligator. This was my one issue. The smaller pieces were definitely "it tastes like chicken". Not what I was looking for in Alligator. The couple of large pieces were sweet which is what I was hoping for. I would suggest putting less pieces on the plate but make them bigger. I ordered two pounds of crayfish. (Read my first sentence). I didn't know crayfish came this big. They were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Lastly I had a fried soft shell crab. It was moist, very meaty and delicious. I am a fan. read more

Interesting items like grilled alligator and frog legs. Hubby ordered boiled shrimp expecting a good Cajun boil, but they don't spice the boil. We also ordered the Seafood Gumbo but was missing the seafood. It was just rue and rice. I got the gator with a salad which tasted good but didn't sit well later that night. The little one got a cup of gumbo with crab claws. She added lots of spice to the gumbo to get it going and her crab claws were all claw and no meat. The staff is very nice but the food is not worth the price! read more

Not a good place for the veg*ns, but excellent for those hungry for crustaceans. Boiled crabs, crawfish...whatever is in season. I think the fried catfish is the best in the area and is a good way to curb the hunger as you wait for your boiled goods. Try not to wear anything you have any remote attachment to as it will either be splatter with yellow fat or smell like you've been at sea for a few years. read more

Tried a couple of times. Ok, but had better. Tried the broiled shrimp and oysters. Just not the taste I expected from what I would perceive as a Cajun restaurant. Give it a try as your experience may be better. Maybe the crawfish will be the hit. Overall...OK. Would I return...probably not. read more

Absolutely one of the worst places for crawfish. I consider myself to be a crawfish expert and I have been to almost every restaurant in South Louisiana in effort to find the ultimate experience. The Boiling Point has been know for years as a go to place for crabs so I thought they must be good at crawfish as well. I was wrong... For two consecutive years I have given them a chance and both times I have left disappointed. They are hard to peel and the seasoning is very weak. read more

Terrible, just terrible. One: no cell phone service inside the building and the manager won't give out the password to the guest WiFi. Two: crawfish tasted muddy and under seasoned. Lastly, the sodas come in a can with a cup of ice. Clearly a ruse to gouge the customers, especially if the food were spiced properly. I had the same experience 20 years ago. Clearly NOTHING has changed. read more

This place is a tourist trap. We are in crawfish country in crawfish season and they charged $28 for 4 pounds! This is with the heads on which is almost half the weight. We ordered catfish poboys which were tasteless even though catfish are raised in this area. What a shame! It should be fabulous. read more

This was on the route of our Food Tour with the Avery Island Tabasco Co. It's a simple place on the highway with lots of beer and soft drinks and great prawns and onion rings! Great service. Friendly people. TVs. Not happy to see the big Stars-and-Bars plastered on the wall. I guess old habits die hard...but I won''t dwell on that. They have lots of seafood items and we didn't get to try any other things but it smelled good and looked good. What little experience we had, we enjoyed. read more

I came here on the Tabasco tasting tour. We had a plate with like three crawfish each, plus dipping sauce and some onion rings. The crawfish were quite tasty and a little spicy, the dipping sauce was addictive, and the onion rings light and great. I'd like to come back for a full meal, because there's not much edible on a crawfish but the tail, and that's a lot of space for a little food. read more

I really enjoyed this place. The gumbo was good, although it was a little thin on the seafood. I do like the way they bring the rice on the side. Most places put too much rice in their gumbo. I had the grilled catfish with the crawfish etouffee. It was good but could have used some rice, which I would have added from my gumbo rice, but had already thrown away as I did not realize I would need the extra. It came with a side of potato salad, which is often taken for granted in restaurants. It is never taken for granted when cooked at home. You can't have Gumbo without potato salad. Overall I was pleased and would eat here again. The other three people at our table enjoyed their lunches. read more

Ate here for lunch this past week, not a bad spot. Had boiled potatoes, gator balls and an oyster po boy. The potatoes and gator balls came out very hot. I'd warn anyone on their first couple of bites not to destroy their mouths. The potatoes were lightly battered in the same batter they use to do the fried seafood, and it has a nice thin texture and a little bit of spice. The gator balls were a little thicker, with a texture of a hushpuppy. Inside the filling was molten hot, I couldn't take a half a bite without waiting another minute for it to cool down. The po boy was good but nothing that would have me coming back for just that. A lot of mayo (not that I'm against it) and a very flimsy piece of tomato. The oysters themselves were just plain cold. It was surprising how fresh everything else came out yet the main dish was this. In that aspect this was a disappointment. At a value of average and a considerable distance away, I would come back again if a vendor is buying, but other than that I'll stick with BJ's or Chris's. read more

Very good food service, we had a variety of items and enjoyed all. Casual fun atmosphere read more

Good food, sweet waitress that helped me navigate between the gluten free no meat options.

My favorite place for fried catfish and onion rings. I love that you can order "just" fried catfish if you don't want fries or salad from the "just" fried area of the menu. I also love their grilled catfish and grilled shrimp. They are both very well seasoned and juicy. The boiled crabs are very tasty. read more

Fun experience with a friend from the south who suggested we go here. All was fresh and good. Learned how 2 peel crawfish. Great service!

Ordered the grilled shrimp poboy! It was a good sandwich, but i saw the crab that the other table ordered. So much options to choose from and you will not be disappointment. The restaurant was clean and the waitresses were friendly. If you are new to the area give it a try! read more

R & M's Boiling Point - Seafood Near Me - New Iberia, Louisiana

I've never seen my husband so blissful. The awesome waitress gave him a quick tutorial on crawdad eatin' and offered us her special sauce. They have the BEST onion rings I've ever eaten and the special sauce is great on everything! Fantastic place for local seafood. read more

Food is good , service not bad , but could be better . Prices are fair , compared to other places, place in general is ok

This used to be my favorite place in New Iberia . Last two trips here I am sad to say it has gone downhill. Last time service was horrible the food was OK. This time the service was horrible and so were my boiled shrimp. I could not peel them and they were like rubber. Not sure I will go back. What a shame this place has gotten so bad. read more

Great food and atmosphere. The crawfish are perfect! Nicely spiced and huge! We also had Alligator bites for an appetizer which were good as well. Love that they have rolls of paper towels at the table and different spices at the table as well. Music was good. The waitress staff is pleasant and very attentive. The bathrooms and restaurant were also very clean. read more

Fried food is over cooked and under seasoned and tasted like old grease. The fried alligator was more like jerky. Haven't tried the boiled food in years but that probably because of there prices. But I don't think I'll give them anymore of my money. read more

- Grilled Shrimp delicious. Well seasoned, not overcooked. Advise the large platter, as small was "too small". - Good hot sauces on the table. - Waitress was sassy. But constantly refilling drinks, quick service. - Onion rings good. Waitress said there's no "special sauce", but made me a good tasting "crawfish dipping sauce". - Salad nothing special. Great south Louisiana seafood place! read more

Boiled shrimp were delicious, much larger than expected, and perfectly spiced. Boiled crawfish were seasoned well but might have been a tad overcooked. They were a tiny bit firmer than I'd have liked, but still very good. Wait staff very attentive and friendly. Coworker had the seafood gumbo. Had a nice dark roux and tasted great. Said it would have been even better if the shrimp were gulf shrimp. Would definitely go back. read more

Fun place to eat with a group. We had reservations for 10 at 6:30 on Friday night. They seated us immediately after arriving. We all ordered drinks from the bar ( very small bar). Drinks were a little slow in coming BUT some had ordered the Bloody Mary. Of course it comes with a soft shell crab & boiled shrimp on top of the drink so it had to be fried. They were great!! Service was slow to take our orders for dinner and slow to bring the food. BUT the food was excellent! NO one had any complaints about the food and our server took pretty good care of us. The boiled crabs were perfect and so were soft shell crabs. The crabs are really full of meat this season! The shrimp were REALLY jumbo and cooked perfect. We had 3 birthday girls in our group and they brought a very nice cheese cake, sliced with toppings for us to share. We were all so full from crabs & shrimp we couldn't even eat all of it! Some of us were there visiting from other states AND from Baton Rouge & New Orleans. Was so looking forward to good South Louisiana seafood and were not disappointed! We all recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

Great place for boiled crab. Went in Oct and crabs are in good season. The service is quick. The salad can be improved a little. Donot be fooled by the purloining: it took me a while to locate the restaurant. But well worth it. read more

Food and service were both excellent. We were a lage group. Our waitresses were efficient, friendly and helpful. The prices are below the prices we are used to paying in Texas for the same type meal. If you are close to this restaurant, we recommend you eat here. read more

The Crawfish Pie was the worst I've ever had. I could NOT eat the Pistollet, it filled 2 paper towels with grease and still could not eat it. And; as if that wasn't bad enough, the man taking the money at the front counter had the worst B.O. I've ever smelled. I was gagging, my husband paid, so that I could walk outside. My husband had the grilled seafood plater, he said it was ok just that the fish was on the salty side, not worth having to smell the man taking up money. We went here a year ago and had fried shrimp and it was good, but this will be crossed off our list! Please do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here, unless you're ok with greasy food, B.O. that's unbareable and $2.25 for a canned soda. Will go to Seafood Connection again before here. There is not much room there but food is head and shoulders above this place. Try the 2 fried pork chop meal for $6.95. read more

Oh my goodness LOVED this place. Had the seafood platter and it was wonderful for $17.99. Comes with bread, salad. My friend had the shrimp and crab gumbo and she loved it except it had no sausage in it and she missed that. Flavor was great though. My other friend had the fried shrimp and she loved that. We had Regina for a waitress and she was absolutely the best!!! Very attentive to detail and very fun to talk to. She recommended a great ice cream place to us and it was good. We had bloody Mary's with the swamp dust on it and it was the best. Bought a bag[huge] four pounds and the three of us will separate it out when we get home. Please ask for Regina when you go there and keep that place going for many more years!! Thank you for such good food and good times. read more

Worst experience ever! Ordered the boiled shrimp $18.99 a plate they were so over cooked couldn't peel the shrimp to eat it on top of that they still charged me full price and ate 2 shrimp that took 10 minutes to peel would not recommend getting shrimp there!! read more

The service was good and very friendly. The food was disappointing. Grilled cheese was good. Water was good. After seasoning the shrimp po-boy it was good. Really small shrimp though. Fried catfish was REALLY small, the etouffe and catfish were really bland. Not enough portions for the money but the kids meal were pretty cheap. My preference and of no importance but the salad came out with the meal instead of before. read more

Had a great shrimp dinner at their new place across the highway...busy busy night. I always make a point of eating dinner there when I come to town from California. read more

Two of the people in our party had been here a few years back in their old location, and they were quite surprised by how much it had changed. The menu was a bit odd, anything boiled was shown as "market price". Can they really tell how much to charge for fried shrimp or grilled shrimp, but not know how much to charge for boiled shrimp? I can see charging market price for lobster or swordfish, but boiled shrimp??? My wife and I both had the small order of grilled shrimp. For $9.99 we each got 9 fairly tiny grilled shrimp, a small bowl of lettuce for a salad, and a roll. Nothing else. They tasted fine, but they were horribly overpriced. I was kind of surprised, because the boiled shrimp the people at the next table had were enormous. This is the first restaurant I've been to in a long time where I actually ate everything that was served to me, then had to go get dinner elsewhere. We won't be back. There are simply too many really good places to eat in the area to bother going to this place. read more

Our server had an attitude. The crawfish came out "warm", they had absolutely no juice. None. The crawfish itself tasted like mud and rubber. The fried boiled potatoes are actually bomb as heck! But the crawfish sucked. read more

Crawfish is my favorite food in the whole world. South Louisiana born and bred. I would've thought New Iberia could get it right. It was the end of the season (Mid June) and about 2pm on a Thurs afternoon. The corn and potatoes were not seasoned or buttered at all. The crawfish though...I could tell they had been frozen and reboiled because of the texture. They tasted so "bad" that I had to use the sauce with them, which I have NEVER eaten with crawfish in.my.life. After a while of the bad taste (like they probably needed to be thrown out) and smothering my favorite food in basically pure mayo (not one of my favorite foods), I just couldnt finish it. And I have NEVER not finished crawfish before. I felt like I was going to be sick. I've had better crawfish from Chinese buffets. They were terrible but maybe in the middle of the season and during peak hours they're better - I sure hope so at least. read more

I travel quite often, fortunately I travel to South La regularly. This spot is always on my stop list. Don't expect white table cloths or a tourists spot as it is always busy with locals. Fried shrimp is always to die for and onion rings are out of this world. read more

Nice place and sweet staff. Onion rings are the greatest! Order them every single time I'm there. Boiled shrimp salad is good...fresh and tasty. Gumbo is good but at times can be a little skimpy on the seafood. read more

Great place to eat. Not many other restaurants around in this area. Shrimp and fish were fresh.
