Boiling Seafood Crawfish

Great Seafood Place. Who eats a seafood boil and don’t expect to get messy? If you don’t want to get messy, this is not the place for you when ordering the seafood boil.
I have been longing for a seafood place where you get all the different varieties of seafood you like. I was over the moon with all the choices I had. The seafood came in a bag steaming hot, which was right up my alley. I got a bib and gloves, which was great because as a seafood lover I get messy and eat with my hands anyway. Only a person from New Orleans or Someone that lives close to the ocean would appreciate this kind of dinning. Yes, the shrimp was fresh with the head attached and no it was not deveined, but if you appreciate good fresh seafood you wouldn’t mind. Try Fine Dining elsewhere.
Negatives are, if you are from out of the area or out of town you may not be aware of the parking rules for Clevelad Hts, you have to feed the meters. and also they need a bigger place, this place is way too small and once the word gets out about the «Boiling Seafood Crawfish» its going to be impossible to get in and no one wants to wait out in the cold during the winter months.
I will definitly be going back and taking some friends with me.

Five Stars for everything — service, location, food!
Went here today to have our post wedding anniversary dinner with my family and it didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing. We had the ultimate with all 4 seasoning in medium spicy. Me and my husband love food and as a tropical girl (Philippines) growing up with fresh seafood I can tell everything we had was fresh. My son who loves calamari kept saying it was the most tender he had since we arrived in Cleveland.
Our server Joanna is awesome, though she can use a smile more often — she kind of have that «resting b face» but she’s friendly and knowledgable with what this restaurant has to offer.
If you don’t mind getting messy on a date with great food served on the table, come try this place — you will never regret it.
Oh! The only thing we had having a hard time eating was crawfish — our first time to try it, there must be a trick on how to crack and get the meat.
All in all — great experience and can’t wait to go back and try the ultimate with blue crabs.

Tried this place out with some friends not too long ago and I must say its now one of my favorite seafood places in Cleveland. The setup is fairly simple. You pick your seafood choice from the menu and then you select your seasoning and spice level. The seasonings I tried was incredible. And the spice level was perfect. I definitely. Recommend this spot.

Yes, yes, yes!!!
I am a seafood enthusiast. I have been all my life. I’ve had blue crabs right on the Chesapeake and crawfish in the French Quarter. I think that isn’t a slight disservice to fry seafood because it is near perfect on its own.
If you feel the same way, get to this place now. Like, yesterday really. It has become my new obsession. Don’t go in expecting to stay clean or eat with a fork. Come in ready to get messy and enjoy yourself.
I got the Handful with the Juicy Cajun at the mild spice level and am I ever glad I did. It had quite the kick to it! Still very good I just had to keep the water handy. If you’re a spice wuss be very cautious.
Can’t wait to go back here. So glad a place like this exists in Cleveland!

Small casual restaurant. I ordered ½ of shrimp and deep fried soft shell crab. Both were delicious. Only negative comment is that since they don’t de-​shell the shrimps they can’t devein them so you end up eating the guts. Overall, it was a fun experience.

The food was really good but our service was not so. She was a bit clueless to our needs and ruined our experience. I would come back only if was not seated in her area.

I came and I left ordering only a soda, the waiter Lee was a total bust for my party, he had no hospitality skills I would ask a question he would jus say no like could I substitute the sausage cause I don’t eat pork no just pick them out really, really, then I say well was the market price for the lobster today it on the board behind u“note I said behind me” I just went and paid for the drink I work hard for my money and I wasn’t feeling him…

Food was delicious, service was Great. If you want a relaxed and fun place to eat this is the place for you.

Hubby and I love Cajun seafood crawl and was delighted to see Boiling Seafood Crawfish in Cleveland. We order an order of wings to start, 2 lbs of crawfish, 1 lb of clams, and 1 lb of snow crab legs. Ahhhh, it was an enjoyable meal. They gave us a lot for 2 lbs of crawfish and towards the very end it was hard for us to finish it. The sauces were very tasteful although it was a bit thick or just not enough sauce in each bag. We were hoping for more sauce. The staffs were friendly and accommodating as we requesting all sort of items such as lime, salt & pepper, crackers, scissor, and change to put in the parking meters. However, they were all so nice to accommodate all our needs and we were pleased they didn’t get irritated. Definitely a must go place for a Cajun crawl in Cleveland!

This place is exactly what I’d want in a seafood place. The idea is kind of along the lines of a low country boil, with all sorts of seafood spread out across a table covered in paper. Crab, mussels, clams, shrimp, and crawdads. Not to mention corn on the cob and potato! The corn fritters are a must-​have too! The waiters are attentive, they will bring you beers if you’re empty, along with extra gloves, utensils, etc. Lee was especially helpful, bringing us a sample of their «Very Spicy» sauce (which is made with ghost peppers). Let me tell you, if you complain about other places having foods that aren’t spicy enough, you need to try (carefully) this sauce. I dabbed the smallest amount on my food and it was more than enough. Definitely a must-​try for those that like spicy food.

It’s really good. However, it’s a little oily. And there is no way to get ride of the oil. Also, they should clean the black line at the back of shrimps.

4.5! This place is LEGIT! I’ve been telling all my friends about this place. Luckily, Cedar Lee is my neighborhood now.
It’s essentially like the LA-​based Boiling Crab restaurants with Cajun seafood! I definitely recommend getting the «The Experiences» — either the Handful or the Ultimate, which are the quintessential cajun boiling crab orders! The Handful comes with 1 lb of crawfish, 1 lb shrimp, a dozen andouille sausage pieces, and ½ of clams with 2 corn and 2 potatoes. The Ultimate is the same but it comes with ½ of snow crab legs and cajun calamari. You can also order pounds of seafood a la carte. It comes in a giant plastic bag mixed with the spices, and you dump it on the table or just grab it with your hands (with plastic gloves and bib.) Classic!
We got the Ultimate along with extra corn, Hawaiian bread, cajun fries, and rice and shared it among 4 people. Our choice of spices for the Ultimate: ALL THE SPICES! with a 3 out of 5 pepper spiciness rating. It definitely had a kick and it was perfect. I’m iffy about shrimp that’s old but this was very fresh and tender. Another favorite was the potato, which soaked in all the spices at the bottom.
Next time, we’ll go for the Handful with the a la carte seafood, like blue crab with more potatoes, Hawaiian bread and extra corn. We didn’t care much for the cajun fries and the breaded calamari.
I was pleasantly surprised when I went and was greeted by an Asian owner or manager! This place is probably one of the most diverse restaurants on the Cedar Lee strip. We loved our experience there and can’t wait to come back. It was plenty busy on a Friday night, which was great to see. It’s one of Cedar Lee’s best kept secrets that I hope doesn’t get out too quickly!

My friends and I finally got to try this place out a few weeks back. We went on a chilly Thursday, so having a nice steaming bag of seafood for dinner sounded amazing to us. Now typically I don’t like eating seafood during the weekdays because I worry it’s not fresh. Everything we ate that night though, was quite fresh and deliciously seasoned.
We started out with the fried appetizer sampler, since we were pretty hungry and wanted something quick to munch on first. The fried seafood was seasoned well, pretty standard fried yumminess nothing too fancy. For our first entrée bag we got the «handful,» which includes: 1lb crayfish, 1lb shrimp, 1dz andouille sausages, ½lbs clams, 2 potatoes, and 2 corns (we added extra corn and potatoes as well). We chose the popular «homemade juicy» seasoning (all the seasonings mixed together) with a low spicy level, since some of our friends cannot take too much heat. Once the bibs were on, and the gloves were covering our fingers, we clawed right away at our food! Soon we were under a sea of shells and napkins, and our once bountiful bag of deliciousness was starting to look scarce. We decided to order our second bag right away. This time, we got fancier and ordered a bag with snow crab legs! We also ordered more shrimp, sausages, and potatoes. We chose a different seasoning for this bag, just to see what the other sauces tasted like. We mixed the garlic butter with lemon pepper. The snow crab meat was delicious, but I might be bias because I just love crab! The seasoning was not bad, but I have to say I much prefer the homemade juicy seasoning (that is definitely the best seasoning to go with).
Although it was a Thursday, the restaurant was fairly busy. The place is quite clean, especially for such a messy eating arrangement. I’m glad Cle has finally caught on the Cajun seafood bag trend! We all left quite full and happy as clams! No doubt we will be back for more soon!

The boiling seafood is amazing as always! The shrimp is fresh and everything about the place is amazing. The fried foods have an amazing taste and so does the sauce. The sauce is amazing, I would recommend the homemade juicy, it is a combination of everything! The service is amazing, the employees are so friendly and the food is even better. The seafood is so fresh, and the crab legs is thick and juicy.
Now if you get the boiled, they give you bibs and gloves so you don’t get messy. There is no place like this in Ohio, it’s a fun experience and i recommend everyone to come try it out!

Superb! The food came out piping hot, as if straight form the boiler. We got the Handful. For sauces, you get choices between some butter stuff, some lemon, salt, and pepper stuff, some Cajun seasoning stuff, or all in one. Naturally, we went with the all in one.
Tip: if your bag doesn’t come with a potato (as it did with the Handful), order at least a couple. The potato comes out perfectly soft (almost to the point of being mashed, if you squeeze hard enough); the inside starchiness balances out the strength of the sauce perfectly.
Tip 2: Get a cob of corn thrown in as well, for similar reasons.
I was pissing salt and chugging water for the entire night after, but this place does hit the spot when the craving sets in.
Note: if you into Crayfish, go for it. If you wanna try, order a small bit. Crayfish are notoriously stingy with their meat, and most of the weight is in the shells.

Loved this place. I visited a place like this in Vegas. You order boiled seafood by the pound with your desired spice level (mild was spicy to me). The tables are covered with paper for easy clean up then they give you a bib, gloves & a bag of steaming hot seafood.
We ordered the «handful» with large head on shrimp, clams, sausage & crawfish. Order extra potatoes & corn upfront you’ll need it. I had fresh shucked oysters. I heard the crab was good too. They offer fried seafood. Prices are on point.
The place is McDonalds casual and they just got their liquor license too. You’ll enjoy it.

This little place on Lee has some super tasty and fresh seafood. We started with the clams in their house sauce made extra spicy and they were spicy and delicious. The husband ordered a shrimp etoufee which he thought was great but I though was a bit too watery. I had an oyster po’boy which was impressive. The oysters were lightly battered, fresh and delicious on good bread. The fries were crispy and delicious. I couldn’t stop dipping the fries in the sauce from the clams. Really, this is a 4.5 star review. If the etoufee were a bit better and they served alcohol, it would be a 5. They did say that they would be getting their liquor license soon. I’ll definitely check back.

Fun sexy ambiance, but also messy for a date… If you are ready to have fun with a date and eat messy but extremely delicious food with your hands and wearing a bib, go!!! Because it’s also got sort-​of a sexy vibe, but paper covered tables and bibs and plastic gloves! It’s a lol fun date place! Go with a group of friends or family. Little expensive, but you get good seafood for the prices. I’m addicted!

This is a tale of two cities. At Boiling Seafood there are good and not so good results.
Good: fried oysters, Shrimp Po Boy
Bad: Crayfish Etoufee
The Louisiana staple was white watery and like nothing we’ve ever sampled before. It is unfortunate the little mud-​suckers had to die for this.
The oyster were fresh, full of spice and the po boy was also well spiced and a nice bite.
Will we go back? Yes, but great care must be taken when ordering.

Normally I do not post reviews, but the boiling seafood is by far the best place I have ever gone to. Eating should not be boring, it should be a place to enjoy your time and the boiling seafood did just that. Before they put the dish on our table, they gave us bibs and gloves. The boiling seafood is a great place to bring your friends and family.
Now I have not even talked about the amazing food they severed there. The seafood is not like anything I have eaten before. It’s not ordinary seafood they serve, they cook the seafood with its shell, and put it in a bag then you get to choose your sauce and spice, and they pour it in the bag and shake it up. The shrimp I had was fresh and juicy, and the lobster was amazing. Crawfish and blue crab were also good. Overall my experience was amazing and I WILL go there with my friends and family again.

After reading positive reviews, I was excited to try this restaurant. However, I was disappointed with every aspect of the meal. The ambience matched the quality of food… terrible.
Upon entering, we were welcomed by seeing 4 – 6 tables of people. Each table looked like it was covered in vomit. Turns out that was the shrapnel from the food, but was foreshadowing of our meal.
We ordered the «get your feet wet combo», which was like turd in a bag sprinkled with hot sauce. Eating with plastic gloves on is not my ideal Friday night plan, but was probably the only saving grace as it was the only thing between my hands and the un-​deveined shrimp poop chute.

A small place on Lee Road across from Lopez and next to the Kabob place. It was a small Chinese takeout place that has been redone with a modern décor; dark walls with pictures of cooked seafood. The tables have white paper coverings and a roll of paper towels. A little crystal chandelier is nice, but seems out of place.
I stopped for lunch; had the fried crayfish po-​boy sandwich. You get a nicely toasted roll with a nice sized helping of nicely fried crayfish, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and a nice zippy remoulade sauce. Comes with a big helping of fries and a large fountain drink for $ 10. The sandwich was excellent, with the spicy sauce setting off the seafood nicely. The fries were crisp and had a bit of seasoning, but nothing to write home about.
Overall this has huge potential, we need a place you can get some good simple seafood. I will be going back and trying some of the other items.

I couldn’t resist. It’s a new place in the neighborhood, I had to try it. I went there for lunch on Friday. The décor was typical. Pictures of sea creatures and nets on the wall. The lady at the counter was super nice and helpful. Prices were slightly on the high side.
Ok, let’s get to the food. It was lunch time so I didn’t get the seafood boil– too messy and I had things to do. I got a hodge podge of food. The corn fritters were great. The kids loved them. It was deep fried sweet corn dough– enough said. You really don’t even need the runny ranch sauce that it was served with. The Shrimp Po’Boy with sweet potato fries were really good. Unfortunately the Crawfish Etouffée was disappointing. I love Étouffée but there was something different about this one. The roux was really light in color and it had a really fishy smell and taste. I had a couple of bites and threw out the rest. I think I got spoiled by Junior’s restaurant, Battiste & Dupree, down the street.
I will definite try this place again. It’s only been open for a week or two. Next time, I’m hoping to try their seafood broil.
