I visited this place on 3/8 and once before for take out but Never AGAIN being as though i have received the full experience. Starting off when you come in its such a long time for them to great you or even acknowledge that you’re there. The girl thats normally at the front is very sweet though. Since she wasn’t there for a while i walked to another worker that i saw there & asked “when she was done with what she was doing could we sit down” and she just comes off with an attitude & says “Oh somebody will come up there to help you” VERY RUDE. We get seated & our waiter has a weird attitude. My food gets ordered & comes out , food is ugh. We get done eating and the i look at the opening seating area across from the main seating area and see a MOUSE RUNNING AROUND. Immediately i am IN SHOCK & a PANICK. I told the sweet girl who is normally in the front and she seems in shock as well. She go tells her manager & comes back with the response “The delivery truck came today & the door has been opened that why its in here”. They only gave a $9 discount off my bill. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS? I WILL NEVER RETURN. VERY UNSANITARY.

I had never heard of Sea Boil but when I had a bad experience at a nearby restaurant my friend recommended the Sea Boil. I was not sure what to expect from the outside. The hostess was very polite. She also ended up being our waitress. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and two bags. Everything was delicious!!! She checked on us frequently. The shrimp and the clusters were large and yummy!! the wings were good also, fried to perfection. I will return!!!

Overpriced and crab is not fresh and hardly any food. Only got 2 crab legs. Overpriced and a rip off.

So this is my 2nd visit here. The first time I was blown away with the food. Some things were slightly overcooked and unrecognizable on my 2nd visit. I asked to speak with the cook because I send back my soft shell crab it was cut into random pieces. The cook got made and publicly embarrassed the waiter. I felt humiliated for her. We are all adults so no one should ever be addressed in that manner, it's unethical and disrespectful.

Yesterday was my first time visiting this establishment and I will never visit again. I tried to give them the benefits of the doubt but is so unprofessional and ghetto. We came in the hostess was very professional and warm welcoming she sat us at a table it did look like a big party was getting up to exit at the time we waited a while before our server even came she came we put in drinks and appetizers her whole demeanor was off from the jump she brought out our drinks 3 childrens drinks and 1 adult cup for my sister we then asked for waters with lemons she brought them again with an attitude I waited 45 mins for straws for the water I ordered 2 seafood boils for my children and a dozen of crabs for me and my sister we asked for crab sauce she brought one condiment to go container of sauce for all of the seafood she had her AirPod in on the phone the entire time and everything we asked for seemed to be a problem I then asked for the manager why did I do that she came over with an attitude and said we are short staffed due to a large party last weekend that got half of our staff sick I may didn’t get to ur table but were under staffed (But they had majority of the tables unavailable because they had just had a 65th birthday party) why even accept the guest if they aren’t able to be accommodated I would take quality over quantity any day. I then watch the manager go to the bar and discuss what I said to her to the server and bob her head and roll her eyes I then went to the bar and asked for her manager information she asked me could she switch my server I explained that I was ready to go and all she can do for me is give me my bill which was 217 for 2 boils and a dozen of crab. She proceeded to write down a number with a name of Billy. I paid the bill cash which I wasn’t satisfied with at all I exited the restaurant and called the number it was the number to the establishment and the person I spoke with said no one by the name of Billy worked at the restaurant. I then called today 2/25/24 and asked to speak to the manager they put the same rude manager on the phone I asked her could I speak to her manager she puts the phone down and says that’s the lady from yesterday and I need you to take one for the team whatever that meant someone by the name of Chelsea got on the phone to say that they were understaffed I went on to explain to her what happen and saying that I didn’t even get an apology let alone something off my bill she told me that she apologized and that she would deal with the employees once they got there which was another lie because mind you the lady just told her the whole story and told her she needed to take one for the team at this point I deserve a full refund. My crabs were suppose to be large I can’t tell that they mixed them with medium crabs my children seafood was over cooked and the service was terrible I plan on taking the necessary steps to get to the bottom of this matter because it’s not ok to be treated like this and ur spending ur money

The boil was bland, dry, and extremely expensive. It was about $25 more than the boil I get around my home and didn't taste nearly as good. Very little liquid in the bag and seemed like none of the seasoning got into the food. Like it was added at the last minute and was only in the liquid at the bottom of the bag. Added eggs and potatoes that had zero flavor like they only met the seasoning for the first time as the bag came to the table. Got 6 tiny raw oysters. $77 bill, which I consider wasted money.

Crab boil was good but not great, extra spicy wasn’t even spicy at all; the mozzarella sticks and garlic bread was cold and tasted like it came straight out the the freezer, the bathrooms were nasty and the waitress was kind of rude especially when asked for a crab cracker. “ You should’ve called ahead” is what she told us. It was only myself and one other person. They weren’t even busy plenty of tables open to make a comment like that. Didn’t stick around to eat just ended up taking the food home. First time going and most likely last time.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant.We were having a family get together there with about 10 of us.We all ordered various things from a menu which they had a fairly good selection.The food was served pretty fast and the servers made sure we had everything we needed. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely recommend them to anyone in the DMV area.

I called to place an order and I don’t even get a confirmation that I’m calling the right place instead it some girl that sounds like she’s being interrupted but don’t make the mistake in calling to place an order because it’s hidden fees riddles all throughout the menu. A 50$ order online is 80 dollars over the phone she didn’t know why but that it’s because I called over the phone… ridiculous business going on not sure how much longer this place will last like the several before just seem tainted with bad service from this area.

I drove pass this place numerous times but decided to check them out because my daughter never had a seafood boil. The atmosphere was off, full of staff who behaved as if they would rather be somewhere else and had attitudes. The interior is in dire need of an upgrade, and the place was almost empty. The environment was depressing, so we got a seafoodboil and hush puppies to go. The hush puppies were undercooked, but the seafood boil was good. I would come back here but would order my food ahead of time to go. This place is depressing.
