Pacific Boil & Lounge

Casual atmosphere with great food. My husband and I shared a Dungeness Crab bowl (with shrimp, potatos, and corn in cajan seasoning) after a game of pool. The bartender was attentive and sweet, and the beers were cold. We will be back!

So here's the thing: this place is a real dive of a restaurant. The service tries but is a bit on the sketchy side, the interior looks like it's been the same since the early 60s and not necessarily well-maintained, but the food (if what you want is seafood) is good, plentiful, and downright affordable. The steamed clams might've been the best I've ever had. The shellfish was decent quality shellfish at a really good price. I can't complain at all. If you're really craving seafood, can handle less than fine-dining atmosphere, you ought to head to the Pacific Boil & Lounge.

Service wise this places bites but food wise it's amazing!!! We have gone back again and again for the lobster roll and the Mac and cheese! Yummy times 100!!! Definitely need to try the calamari and other seafood dishes, I mean, wow just wow!!!

My cousin and I ordered the crab and mussels seafood boil with fried oysters and garlic noodles. It was decent. I mean, it wasn't the greatest to leave a lasting impression. The fried oysters were different; I don't think I've ever had fried oysters with that kind of batter.

Brought friends here for seafood and they all enjoyed their food. I have now had the boil several times, and the lobster roll and fries several times and they're all good. Today we had an oyster special. The medium spice is enough for me but they also have spicy and extra spicy. They were open on Xmas so we walked a couple miles to watch MNF and eat. Mac & cheese was just ok but that is compared to everything else. Fave is still the lobster roll and fries. The roll is so good and the lobster perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fries are excellent. I've also had the boil with clams and mussels and it's been excellent too. Highly recommend this spot for people who like a good seafood boil or Boston style lobster roll. I haven't had the po boy yet so maybe next time.

We've gotten carry out from PB&L 6-8 times and it's always been a really good meal. We told our friends they needed to try them out. Sadly, we will not be returning.We got carryout again this evening and we opened the containers to put the jojos in the oven.....and I was grossed out by my meal. I hiked it down to PB&L and even the young server seemed to have a hard time identifying my meal. Now...instead of offering to remake my meal, the person who I assume is the owner came storming out of the kitchen telling me that everyone loves his catfish. His catfish is very good. Yes.....the catfish is all I've ever ordered and that's why we kept coming back...because the catfish WAS good. But this time, it looked so nasty and not anything like it had in the past. Had that person not come out of the kitchen with such a nasty attitude, I would not be writing this ...... but they lost our business.

Okay, let me tell you, I've been here like 4-5 times and it is worth it EVERY. TIME. This time was the best yet. I've had their fried calamari and fries previously and it was okay but this time, was WAY better. The fries were definitely shaped different but it was better. Everything was delicious. My favorite seafood boil restaurant.

Based on low expectations given the area and exterior we ended up very pleasantly surprised.EXCELLENT- Garlic bread. Almost a requirement to mop up yummy sauce.- Clam Chowder: they add a delicious spice. Some thought it was too salty.VERY GOOD- Boils: clams, corn and broccoli- Garlic noodles and shrimp- Coleslaw- PortionsGOOD- Service: A very sweet server. The lobster roll took a VERY long time, but the other items came out quickly. Requests for extra utensils went unanswered.- ValueMEH- Fried potato wedges, not a fan of the seasoned salt- Drink selection (maybe I missed a seeing a bar or cocktail menu)- lobster roll: mayonnaise heavy, low quality taste.POOR- Wedge Salad: do not order. It's not the chunk of iceberg you're used to, the bacon tasted artificial, and the blue cheese dressing was horrible. Parking is easy. Very good service, from the bar next door too.

The soft shell crab poboy was delicious! And it's unique because you can't find it just anywhere. Their Cajun Fries were bomb too! Cool bar feel, but the grub is worth the visit.

We've been here several times for the fish and chips. In the past we had nice juicy chunks of cod well battered. We WILL NOT be ordering fish and chips again. The "fish" now resembles a flat SMALL sand dollar. I'm not sure what kind of "fish" it was but it was not juicy nor was it cod. Any photo on this site representing the fish and chips is not current. We will not be back.
