The Boiling Point has been the Gold Standard for Crawfish pistoletts, for me, for over two decades! Always hot, fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Thank you for the consistent quality and friendliness.

This place may look like a common Mom & Pop Restaurant with little special or unique for it, but it's only when you get the food is this place really gets to shine, not only they have excellent seafood/cajun food, not only are they cheap to get, but there are two things that can make it special for me: 1) you can ask if you want your soda or beer in a can (for a crispier taste than the other options, I know I tried), bottled (for to keep it fresh by tightening the cap), or from the fountain (for free refills) & 2) there's this one item that is always great to get when they have them, they're called "Texas Toothpicks" and basically they're strips of Fried Onions and Jalapenos, and they are FREAKING DELICIOUS, like everytime I get them, even when their cold their good, the flavor, the texture, the crispiness of them all, it's pure fried perfection, unlike most places that serve fried food where sometimes the food looks and tastes different than what they show on the advertisements (I know, I have sensitive taste buds, and it's the reason why I always ask the guys & gals behind the counter at Wendy's to cook my Chicken Nuggets fresh), no matter how much they cook or what temperature they are Texas Toothpicks always look and taste the same (there's a picture down below to get an idea of them), and only a few select restaurants across the country have them (even Carl's Jr/Hardees sold them before) and this place is one of them, if your a fan of spicy or fried foods, defiantly get them, and that kind of that Boiling Point serve is what makes this place so great sure it may look rustic and cheap, but what makes up for it are a friendly family of ladies who's always welcome to chat and great delicious food that some of them you can't get anywhere else around here (or all of Louisiana, or maybe even this country besides Texas, I know I looked it up) at really cheap prices, so... what I'm trying to say is, I suggest you try this place, the food and service is really, really, REALLY good

I stopped in here for lunch with two of my colleagues. I had the lunch buffet which had catfish nuggets, whole catfish, corn, crawfish etouffee, two different puddings, salad, hush puppies and an incredible butter pecan cake. I think it was 10.95 for the Buffet. They do serve beer here I saw mostly domestics. I will definitely be back. Maybe I'll go when they're serving boiled crawfish.

Great lunch buffet. I think the price is reasonable. About 12. I had fried catfish and a bunch of crawfish ettoufe and a bunch of sides. Buffet included dessert. I had brownie with chocolate pudding. Everything was tasty Also ate Texas toothpicks (battered and fried onions and jalapeno). Friendly staff.

Crawfish was good. Fresh made to order. It was lightly dusted but didn't need it. Staff was friendly despite showing up late. Place closes at 2pm Definetly a diamond off the beaten path.
