Ambiance: 10/10 Staff was very willing to meet our requests of having a view of the ocean while we ate. Because of their attentiveness, we were able to have a nice dinner with a view.

A special shoutout to our waitress, Nikki, who was amazing. We had several substitutions, sides, and food allergies within our group, and what could have easily turned into incorrect orders was handled perfectly. She got everything right, was attentive, professional, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. It was brunch time and not too busy, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend trying the fried chicken, shrimp and crab omelette, and the home fries. Everything was flavorful and prepared perfectly. Great food, outstanding service, and a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend!

Everything went well together! The pickled okra was a revelation. I liked it! The pita bread was warm, flavorful and had great texture. The raw clam and mussel were okay. Blackened tuna with broccoli salad and grilled asparagus was also nice. Broccoli salad was delicious. Vanilla cheesecake with berry compote was a great way to end the night. Had great food, service and experience here.

I'm a sucker for benedicts so I ordered the southern benedict with a side of their potatoes. The Benedict was decent. Not my favorite but was still good. I wanted to like the potatoes cause they did have good flavor but way too salty for me. I could t finish them. My husband had pancakes which he didn't like at all. Their dinner menu seems interesting but I don't think we will return for breakfast.

The staff and even some fellow customers were very accommodating to my friends to help them get seated. Other customers were excited to let my friends know that it is worth the trip. The trip was two+ hours one way. My fried oysters, cheese chive potatoes, asparagus, and crab cake were superb. The cheese samplers were on point. My one friend could not have the nuts and my other friend had some different food allergy that I don't remember- so I had to eat all three samplers because fingers crossed I have no food allergies and I like to minimize food waste as part of being more sustainable and my own culture. I seem to have missed a picture of the Jellyfish Sting drink I had. It was flavorful enough and I liked the rose syrup in particular. The blueberry lemonade cocktail was sweet like I like my drinks. The key lime has a cashew crust that sounds like it compliments the key line well and I had it the last time and loved it. I am not sure if they always use cashew crust. My guess would be yes. Unfortunately one of my friends is allergic to nuts and he could not have it. I believe all the food is made from scratch and it certainly tastes that way. I think the quality prepared seafood and the making from scratch contribute to the limited opening hours of this restaurant. If you are in the area, a must visit if you like seafood. 5/25/26: I forgot to add that I was impressed that they added a mocktail menu and vegan chicken as an option. I think that they should have a vegan seafood option as well being a top notch seafood place in keeping up w the present times for what people would like for options within reason.

This happened to me one time.

I've never heard of Boil Bay or ever thought of visiting a seafood restaurant like this before but…read moreI am glad I did. My friend and her family had me tag along to the birthday celebration and I got to enjoy some delicious shrimp basket and cajun fried rice. The service was friendly and accommodating albeit on the slower side of things. The clam chowder is something that can be skipped the next time. It was gluey and I only found one piece of potato in the whole thing. Super disappointing. The seafood boil tasted delicious and I wouldn't mind ordering my own batch the next time around.

We sat outside, would have been nice if this place is located on a beach.... Sitting over top of a pretty active roadway kind of lost a little bit of the luster. Seems like a local spot that probably kicks off really GREAT at night. Just 'ok' as of afternoon red spot. This is the kind of spot you go to when you need something cheap to eat and drink and you want to just hang out with some old parks for happy hour. Also seems like a great place to watch a game on the inside. Tons of TVs!

I found out that Chowhound recently rated the best restaurants for fried seafood in each state, and Dockside earned the best in Virginia, and well deserved IMHO.
