Visited The Boiler in Nov with Birthday Lobster, Ordered Bombdiggity Beg (The Works flavour) and garlic butter for Lobster, it taste really good for “The Work” and so strong that we wouldn’t really taste the garlic butter, overall the taste is good and make you feel like going back.
TheBombdiggity was a little bit expensive to me, I won’t order without any free lobster,
The service was good, the staffs were helpful and non stop refilling our ice lemon tea, it was a surprise to me when they give a free slice of cake with candle. Appreciate the small but meaningful act.
I visited the Howard branch, atmosphere were good(Tables are far to each other due to COVID), air con was cold enough to have medium hot “The work” flavour.
Overall - Must try once if you have not yet done so.

Reservation for 8pm, but could only be seated at 8.15pm. Many alcoholic drinks were sold out. We ordered the Premium Set, which included items like coleslaw and crab cakes, but no plates and cutlery were given. Neither were we given the tools for cracking crab. We had to ask 3 different waiters before finally getting them. The 2nd waiter even told us that the style of the restaurant meant that we were supposed to eat food from the tabletop and with hands. Are we supposed to eat coleslaw with our hands? Furthermore, this was not the 1st time we were there. The previous visit, we were given plates and cutlery without asking.
Food wise, tasty but felt that it was overly salty, especially the fried chicken wings. I was really thirsty after the meal. They forgot the mandatory lobster in our premium set. Our waiter noticed this, but we had to remind him and wait ages before it was served. Also, no free water was served. Most of the times, some of the waiters were just standing around not doing anything.
The premium set + free birthday lobster was too much for 4 pax. . Had to dabao most of the sides. Saving grace was the desserts, which included a free mango cheesecake because of birthday.
Expect your clothes and hair to be really smelly coming out of the restaurant.
A very messy experience. Would not be going back.

Went to The Boiler to celebrate my eldest daughter's birthday. She loves seafood and the seafood here is really fresh and yummy. As it was in the month of her birthday, we managed to get the free Boston lobster in order to make the meal very worth the cost.

Our food arrived shortly upon ordering. The sauce of garlic butter was a good choice, not too garlicky nor buttery. Plastic aprons were given and even plastic bags for the handphones! When we finished the food, it was already over the lunch hour but staff were nice enough to wait patiently for us to leave. Only minor small issue is the air con was too cold.

Food is soo delicious! Had the duo bag (The Works sauce is amazing and wonderfully spicy) with cajun fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, cajun chicken. The fried oysters were also a big hit. Ordered delivery for a birthday and they went above and beyond with the cutest birthday aprons, a delicious chocolate fudge cake and a handwritten card. Delivery was right on time, effortless and incredibly friendly. Will absolutely order here again. Special thanks to the manager Linda who has been nothing but great.

A fun idea with good friends, probably not the safest thing to add during Covid. Fresh seafood, clams, mussels, shrimp, crabs comes in a bag and shared by all 4 of us. Great sauce which I ended up asking to take come! Finished with a couple of orders of fish and chips and a round of beers. Fun evening.

Nice concept - food being served on the table in bags, without plates, works just fine for this kind of food. Delicious seafood, good service. Atmosphere could be a bit warmer - Luisiana style.

we like the dungeness crab in a bag but will order medium spicy and omit garlic the next time. The seafood is fresh, big and value for money. Service is very good with unlimited flow of homemade iced lemon tea.

Was told that for weekends, there is a 90 time limit to dine. Felt very stressful and couldnt get to enjoy what we wanted there as worried ordered and insufficient time to eat. Deep fried oysters taste better than the Esplanade branch but the bags were drier than the Esplanade branch- unable to soak the mantou. The ondeh ondeh cake was delicious. Overall, service was pleasant but was surprised to see the manager using her bare hands to remove our dirty utensils and equipment. Didn’t see the staff spray to sanitizer the ordering pad. Overall hygiene standard not there.

The combinations of the combos are generally similar. The seafoods are all quite fresh with most combos consist of a crab, some prawns, sliced sausages, clams, mussels and corns in the mix. My family's experience was mixed but all agreed that the Dungeness Crab and Prawns were good and well cooked however the supporting sides in the bag like the sliced sausages was we felt were average, some of the clams are not thoroughly clean and still have sands in them, corns were nice but there are too little pieces. I gave the score to the sauces, the house special 'Work' sauce and the garlic sauce were were quite good, we spent about $550 in all and we think its a little pricy for the quality. Hope Boiler improves on their menu and we will definitely be back for more crabs!

Our 2nd visit for birthday celebration. Seafood bag was good but did feel the contents seem a little lesser and the price increased compared to last year. The blissful experience was completed with small bites chocolate cake and a slice of delightful mango cheese cake on the house.

Have informed on booking to pre-order cake for birthday surprise but it was not prepared even though it was double confirmed on the day itself before reaching the restaurant. Have selected birthday redemption of lobster on the booking but was not informed only certain items have the redemption until i asked the staff. Apparently they DO NOT see your booking details. Disappointed experience.

I had a reservation at 7.30pm and I arrived at 7.10pm. However the reservation was "checked-in" at 6.14pm by another guest because of the same name (don't the restaurant check for name AND phone number?).
My family and I were left standing at a corner waiting for their arrangement. Eventually gotten a seat but the whole celebration was already ruined. It was for Father's Day celebration.
Orders placed through the iPad (as usual), drinks were not served till two dishes were already on the table. No utensils (I guess I was expected to rip the pork ribs apart using hands). I had to again, request for gloves and handphone sleeve.
Experience aside, the taste and flavor of the food gotten worse. My last visit was just a month ago and this time, the garlic flavor was just too much for their signature sauce. I wouldn't have re-visited this restaurant if they had messed up the previous round. The butter garlic flavor was okay.
All in all, almost $500 spent here for this kind of service and food standards? Not forgetting we made our way from Jurong to Howard road, for this experience. Not worth it. Absolutely not.
Due to the inconsistency in the food served and their service level, I won't consider this restaurant at all. People make reservations to get a guaranteed seat at the specific time stated, not to go there and wait at the corner.

For the price paid, we could have gotten much tastier seafood from our regular black pepper crab and chilli crab restaurants. The seafood here just tastes like boiled seafood with bottled sauce. The bombdiggity bag is supposedly meant for 4 persons, but if not for the free lobster (birthday promo) and extra 2 orders of mantou buns, it wouldn't have been enough for my family of 4. The ice lemon tea is almost tasteless - very diluted. They charge $3.90 for the refillable tea, but they don't refill unless you keep waving your arm to get their attention or walk over to them to ask.

I am disappointed in my latest visit to the outlet. Just been there in September (a month ago). I guess they just got the separate venue 2 doors down and the logistic is not working out properly. The seafood bag was diluted, not much sauce can be seen/tasted. Quantity of the items seems to be reduced. Clearly, there is also short of manpower. We wanted to order more as the food was not satisfying and couldn't get the waitress attention. had to wait quite long for the bill as well. I hope they will improve as this has been one of our top-choice.
