This was my second trip here and we stopped on the way to Biloxi. I ordered 1 of each full oyster and shrimp po-boy, they were huge and fresh. They could have used a little more seasoning but hey fix it up yourself, they have many self serve condiments to choose from. The place was packed as usual, it’s nothing... More

The boiling pot has no ambiance, the food is plentiful but not that good. The service is non-existant. More

Food was good and reasonable, I did not eat in the resturant I got my food to go. The resturant was clean and the staff was friendly. I did not take long to get my food which was good and the prices are great! Would go again when in Mobile. More

A lot of fried food. Not the kind of seafood we expected. We were starving, and they stayed open a few minutes later for us. But normally it would not be the kind of seafood I would choose. More

While checking into our hotel in Mobile, AL, another guest recommended The Boiling Pot to us for great shrimp po'boys! He told my husband that he bet him $100 that he couldn't eat a whole one! He would have been right! It is located at 3704 Airport Blvd, Mobile, AL. He had the small shrimp po'boy that must have had... More

This is by far the best place you will find a Po Boy. I highly recoomend the Overstuffed Shrimp Po Boy. You seriously won't find better. It is reasonably priced and the small is enough almost for two meals. I say almost because really it is enough for three meals but it is so good, don't be surprised if you... More

I visited the Boiling pot Sept.8th around 1:30 pm or so. I called a head to request an order, but just like the last two times nothing happens until you actually walk inside, a big waste of time calling ahead. I was greated by a not so polite cashier who's "white shirt" had turned some sort of dirty dingy color,... More

I'm a big fan of comfort food, and I really wanted to like The Boiling Pot. I've actually been told that they've got good food. So I stopped by on the way home and gave it a try. But despite large portions, the food just didn't measure up. I ordered a catfish basket and was surprised at the size of... More
