About this spot
The Boil Seafood brings authentic Cajun heat to Wicker Park with a menu focused on bold, spice-forward boils rather than traditional gumbo or étouffée. Expect the signature crawfish boil to arrive in a massive pot where you pull out your own share of shell-on shrimp and sausage directly from the steam. The atmosphere is loud and communal, perfect for grabbing a handful of boiled crab legs while standing at the counter.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra butter sauce immediately to dip your seafood into before it gets cold.
- Wear old clothes or an apron because the crawfish boil comes out in a large pot that can be messy.
- Ask for the spice level on the boil to be adjusted if you are not used to heavy Cajun seasoning.
