It took a little longer than I expected to get help from a server but once she did come around she was attentive. The drinks: frozen trio (frozen hurricane, frozen mango margarita, frozé) all were delicious 😋. The blueberry mule was well-balanced and tasty as well. The food was delicious as well. The hame was smoked so it had a nice woody taste to it. The shrimp and grits were Heavenly. The grits were cheesy and rich. The shrimp were very flavorful. Can't wait to go back!!

We have been to The Boiler House several times. Our visit before this last one want that great. Service was lacking. But, last night you guys nailed. We had excellent service. Our waiter who had several tables did a great job in balancing them all and also the help from other staff members just made the experience that much better. Of course the food was amazing, we had the Squid for an appetizer which was amazing and then the wife and I both had the Elk Chop, which was amazing. The waiter convinced us to try the Bread pudding and wow, 3 for 3. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks for the great and friendly service.
