Editorial Review for The Boiling Pot – by Bill Edmonds
In Short
Step into Cajun country--a hands-on, spicy, tangy, finger-lickin' kind of place. Here waiters cover the tables with butcher paper, place bibs around your neck and supply you with a quintessential wooden mallet. Their famous Cajun combo is dumped right smack on the table. Dig in and wash it down with one of 87 different beers. Substitute that shrimp for some crawfish and you've just ordered the crawfish combo.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasTry the Cajun Combo. $15.95 gets you one blue crab shrimp, a half-pound of shrimp, and a half-pound of sausage along with potatoes and corn.
Save MoneyThose on a budget should stick to the a la carte menu that has gumbo, sausage and red beans and rice.

I enjoy seafood but this was worst I ever had. First off the service was horrendous. We sat around and waited for the waitress for 20 minutes before finally taking our order. The restaurant was empty, but we still received poor service. We received no drink refills. The sausage was not very good. It was pretty much flavorless. Possibly the worst sausage I have ever had. The shrimp was overcooked and mushy. It was horrible. When I cracked into the crab it smelled horrible. It was obviously bad. We both lost our appetites at that point. Oh and there were flies all over the restaurant. Stay away!
Pros: Location
Cons: Food, Service, Flies, Bad Smelly Crab, Disgusting Shrimp, Flavorless Sausage

A few friends and I were in austin tx for vacay and randomly chose to eat at the boiling pot....BAD DECISION. The shrimp tasted like nothing were not properly cooked and way under-seasoned. The sausage also tasted like absolutly nothing as did the oysters. The waitress was very rude and even gave us dirty looks through the glass window (we were eating outside). We honestly contemplated not paying. The only good part about the meal was the the blue moon we were drinking and the humor of how bad the food actually was. Seriously skip this place. It looks cute from the outside and smells good but i wish i had kept walking. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!
Pros: none
Cons: expensive, tasteless, poor quality, gimmicky
