anyone tried "Boil" yet?

Went a week ago. I really tried to have an open mind and enjoy it after watching the Ugly Delicious episode about it. My only previous experience was in Houston about 4 years ago.

But it's just not that good.

Specific to Viet Cajun crawfish: if you suck the claws or heads, it's just water. No spice. That takes away half of the crawfish eating experience for me.

Specific to Boil:
1)Waited an hour for our food after we sat.
2) Prices were high.
3) Corn, sausage, etc had to be ordered separately. They charged $4 for the andouille, and I got four slices the width of what you would find in a jambalaya.


With Deanies opening an Uptown location right down the street, I don't see Boil surviving long at all.
