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. The service is 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, service isn’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.
You only get one chance to make a good first impression and they failed. Our experience was a long wait time on what appeared to be a slow Thursday night, 20 minutes for simple items. Our wait time gave us the opportunity to look around at the torn vinyl benches, dirty and sticky floors, a food server constantly playing with her hair,dirty tables, all in a very drab atmosphere. With all of thenegative it was hard to focus on the food, which was marginal at best.Do yourself a favor for future customers and use something to absorb the grease out of the pita chips that come with the cheese dip. And pretend that you are a real restaurant and fix or replace all of the torn vinyl seats.
has went downhill some mostly the service and 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
I have been here many times and have always loved it. The fried shrimp still taste very good, but they have gone up on the prices and have cut the portions in half. Very disappointed.
Oh delightful!. That is the biggest and very best shrimp poboy you can get around these parts. It is overflowin off your plate. I like to mix some mayo ketchup and hot sauce all together and put on mine, but to each their own. the oyster poboy is so good too. i haven’t tried the boiled shrimp but they look so good.. I will be back. The place is a little run down but good eatin for sure!
They have become VERY proud of their Food. What used to be a great casual place for seafood has become a $19 a plate for fried shrimp. With 2 small sides. Given that it is now same price as any seafood restaurant in town and offers ZERO atmosphere , I’ll go elsewhere from now on. When I first started eating at the Boiling Pot, this same plate was $12 b
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 THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE!
