The Boil Daddy - West LA

Terrible service !!!

So this is not about the food, it's about Instagram and possibly the owner... I won an Instagram contest recently for a $100 giftcard here which I thought was soo cool cuz I love places like this! I thought I would get a certificate/giftcard or have the restaurant put our names on a list or something but it didn't work that way. First off on the original Instagram messages I was told to message the restaurant's page and to message them about winning but apparently theres two pages and both look sketchy and no one responded. If you look on their pages it's all influencers no real people eating there and no tags! Anyways supposedly the owner reached out, Obi, and said to talk to him on his personal page and he gave me his personal cell? My bf didnt like that and thought it wasnt professional to do that so that was a red flag. Then he texted me what time I plan on coming in and I told him, then last minute he texted me and said to call him AFTER WE GET OUR BILL? Why would we do that and he said hes usually there at night working? If this was legit and a professional place wouldn't you tell staff about us coming ahead of time and maybe greet us cuz I was planning on telling staff when I get there otherwise if they don't know what I'm talking about then why risk it and make things awkward? What if this was a scam and they were planning on robbing us or stealing my car? Way too many red flags here and didnt make us feel comfortable. My bf thinks too it's too good to be true, why would a new restaurant give away $100 and not be professional when giving it out and make costumers feel unsafe? Really weird so be careful if you come here or win anything here, smf...

The place is alright the prices are so high and outside they have all you can eat sign but once you go inside and ask about it they don’t have it and also the seafood needs more seasoning and more sauce I asked for more sauce and they did charge me 3 $ for it I rather go to the boiling crab than this place

Luis was amazing! Great food great service great prices. So delicious. We’ll be back thanks to Luis !

Thanks to our server Luis for great customer service Food was hot,fresh and delicious. Between 4 of us we had the fried calamary,shrimp,crab and mussels. Parking: Very small area for a parking.

Great service. Delicious food. I love that boil!

Dang! Great Great sauces, fresh shrimp. muy bueno!

Luis, my waiter was awesome. He'll talk to you whispering like he wants no one to know what's the conversation is all about, but he is good. I lived in Texas for about 9 years and ate crawfish (crayfish) for that long, although california has taken crawfish cooking to different contexts. The boil daddy has by far the best tasting . Would I go back to this place? Heck yeah!!! Thank you, Luis!! See you soon on my way back from Santa Monica the next!

This place is new, but the food and service are great. Servers are very friendly and professional.

Boiling Crab ain’t got NOTHING on this place! They sold me on the peeled shrimp. Shout out to Luis for being our wonderful server! He was super kind and attentive. Definitely coming back! Parking: Parking lot is small but was able to find a spot! Definitely depends on the time of day.
