The Boiler Shrimp & Crawfish 3445 Dempster Street, Skokie, IL 60076

"Food was good not wow for the price. I paid around $250 for 2 people. What surprised me the most is they bring a small drink and never ask to refill it. Not even a cup of water. For the cost I’d think it’d be better service. I asked for additional tools for the King Crab and they just didn’t give them. Only one was put on the table to share. If it was $50-$100 maybe I can understand but for $250 I’d want a refill on the small coke. Over all it’s not bad just needs better service."

"We’ve had Cajun food all over and even in Nee Orleans, but the Boiler is still one of the best place to have shrimp boil! Eating without plates is abit different but it was a great experience. Even though the other flavors are good, but the trifecta is hands down the best. we came here after seven years and the food quality was just as good as it was before. Their garlic noodles and fries go well with the trifecta sauce that the shrimps are boiled in. We got the fried fish and the fried shrimp for people that thought that they wouldn’t like the boiled shrimp and they were amazing. I really wish their wings were Halal as he used to be before. Their seating is kind of tight to be honest. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The kids love putting their names on the wall and looking for it."

"The food was really good. Sweet but tasty. The only thing I didn't like was the potatoes and corn. They were just over cook. They do not serve Alcholo. So it's a BYOB."

"A chill dining experience, with some affordable pricing for seafood in a bag. Grabbed their headless shrimp, with trifecta sauce (all 3 sauces combined) and got the heat level of medium, with the additions of corn on the cob (small one), potatoes, boiled eggs, and sausage pieces. SO WORTH. We also got the garlic noodles, which were good but you gotta eat it right away or else the butter hardens and the garlic pieces clump together. And get their Cajun fries, it’s a nice side to dip into your sauce to soak up that extra goodness!"

"chill seafood boil restaurant with a good atmosphere and music, and delicious food. It’s BYOB, and they serve no alcohol. after sitting down and ordering, we got our food pretty quickly. we got the 2 for $20 lobster tail deal, half a pound of mussels, half a pound of shrimp, potatoes, corn and boiled eggs. we did the trifecta blend, with mild spice and medium on the side. The lobster tails were large, and was really easy to pull out. the mussels were huge, and quite a few. same goes with the shrimp, and the sides. all of the food was cooked excellently, and the portions were just right for two. I will say, the seasoning tasted great but even the mild had like no spice. the medium had some, and next time i’d choose that over mild for all the food to be rubbed in. overall, a casual spot for yummy seafood boils."
