the boiling pot

the shrimp tasted fine. however, the crab cakes, sausage, and gumbo were very good. customerservicewas friendly and quick. i will go back the next time i am in town.

we discovered this place late in our month in mobile but will make it back for sure. the food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced considering what you get.

we order the mahi mahi (incl. 2 sides $13) and the catfish pierre (incl. 2 sides $10). both were outstanding! the pierre was 2 healthy pieces of catfish covered in a rich and creamy sauce with either crawfish or shrimp, maybe both. i'd order it again... and again.

we also tried the fried shrimp (10 pc. for $10 incl. 2 sides). another hit! the mix of sides were corn, cheese grits, shrimp jambalaya, and broccoli casserole. all were simply amazing.

regarding the criticisms of the service, i suppose i understand. the person at the cash wasn't particularly friendly, at least not to us. theserviceis a little slow and it doesn't look like it's as efficient as it could be. but considering it's an order-at-the-counter type restaurant,serviceisn't really what the place is about. i would dock one point for that but then i'd reinstate a bonus point for the exceptional food and value.

has went downhill some mostly theserviceand the interior. i usually get my poboy to go though. the poboy is huge and the bread is truly always fresh french bread the new potatoes are good as well

don't eat here. our horrible experience started from the cashier who refused to speak correctly because she didn't want to show her teeth when she talked.... she would get frustrated when you were unable able to understand what she was saying. the good time does not stop there! when we placed our order, we were told that the items we wanted were no longer available...and that was half the menu. the items that were available and we did ordered ....is not what we received? ??? the food quality was poor !!!! and theservicewas horrible!

say what ????. my family and i have been loyal boiling pot customers for years. the shrimp plate was always our choice, with the tilapia and/or catfish plates running a close second. the quantity, quality and taste was always wonderful! a good casual place to eat - as well as easy to order to go dishes. sure, i ate out of a paper box-thingy, my sides were in styrofoam ... all to be eaten with plastic utensils and paper napkins. but, it worked! now !!! ??? !!! to increase the shrimp platter from $13.99 to $25.00 with no increase inserviceand/or (especially) friendliness from the staff taking my order is beyond sensibility! when/if i pay a minimum of $50 for 2 dinners, i am going to be seated, have my taken by a wait-staff member, eat on "real" plates with "real" silverware, and when i finish i will wipe my mouth with a cloth napkin. not a tiny paper one that will shred with the first use - plus i won't be expected to bus my own table!!! for that amount of $$s, no one would expect to line up to order it, cart the food to a table oneself on a plastic tray ... in addition to get one's own drink and condiments in a communal beverage station. believe me, i don't have a problem doing that - but i do have a problem paying $50 for the food with no change in anything else! tilapia plates increased from $10.99 to $17? get real! this is not a 5-star rated restaurant with 5-star service! i can eat shrimp from oodles of restaurants within 5 miles of yours and have a wait-staff member serve me - for w-a-y less than $50. yes, i loved your food - but i will now miss your food!

good food. prices reasonable and the portion sizes were a lot. the customerserviceis lacking though.

good food. the food was great and very reasonable to me. i had the crab legs on one visit and the next i got the popcorn shrimp and the portion size was a lot. the customerservicesucks but the food is great

food is awesome, employees always seem like they'd rather be somewhere else. i have never had a pleasant customerserviceexperience here and it's too bad because the food is fantastic. i felt bad for asking questions and i felt bad for forgetting my ticket to pick up my food. as i walked away the girl was whispering about me. sheesh.

excellent!. my daughter and i both enjoyed the boiling pot! i had the shrimp poboy and she the chicken. we are trying to find additional reasons to return to mobile just so we can go back! excellent food, excellent prices, excellent servings! on a 1 to 10.... its a 15!

friendlyserviceand a must if you are in the area!

wonderful food but horrible customerservice... i went for a shrimp poboy around 8 pm to the one on airport blvd. and when i got there they told me they were closed and i would have to come back later , problem was, they don't close until 8:30 and it was only 8:00 i was so upset and the man was really rude when he told me they were closed
