| - This was our (my husband and I) first time checking out The Boiler 65, after months of waiting for it to open. It was AMAZING. We got the catfish nuggets - which were EXCELLENT. Perfect cornmeal crunch, soft tender fish, and a remoulade that I had to get a second cup of it was so fucking good. Also got the Cajun fries - which have THE BEST seasoning, warm and spicy, with the *slightest* hint of sweet. Main course: 1 pound of heads off peel & eat shrimp with corn on the cob - medium spice, in the O.G. Butter sauce. It was *life affirming*. That sauce is where it's at. And those shrimp were so sweet and tender and delicious. I was in heaven. After eating everything, it was all too tempting to sprawl out in the big, private green leather booth to catch a little nap... I resisted the urge, though... thinking maybe the other patrons might give me side eye.
For all the uppity folks complaining about paper table cloths and no silverware, etc, etc - LIVE A LITTLE, PEOPLE. Good food is fucking messy, and the BEST food is eaten with your hands. It's a carnal, beautiful thing. You should give it a try.
End note: the staff was friendly and accommodating, made sure we were happy, asked about the food, they're genuine. And the music is awesome, too.
I know we will absolutely be back to this amazing place. Love to the chefs who made our impromptu night out this evening truly delicious. You guys are the real deal.
