The Boil serves crab, lobster, crawfish, shrimp and more sourced directly from New Orleans.

The new Jersey City location -- which opened Feb. 13 -- offers all the classic menu items from its New York predecessors as well as some exclusives.

The Whale, for example, is an oversized seafood bucket full of lobster, king crab legs, jumbo shrimp and more.

The Boil also features a spacious bar that offers south-inspired cocktails and craft beer.

The restaurant has a “coastal” vibe and is filled with nautical memorabilia, including a large shrimp boat on the courtyard, which offers additional outdoor seating during the spring and summer months.

Mike Khuu, the restaurant’s chef and co-owner, also owns and operates New York City eateries PhoBar and Saigon Shack.

The Boil is set to open its doors this month at 8 Erie St. For more information, visit the website.
