Who We Are
Our Story
Rooted in Virginia · 5 Locations
Born from a backyard boil
Boil Bay started the way most great things do — around a table, with family, and way too much food. Our founders, Zeng, Jay, & Raymond, grew up where crawfish boils weren't a special occasion. They were just Tuesday.
When they moved to Virginia, they brought a special recipe with them — the spice blend, the technique, the insistence on fresh Cajun seafood. What started as cooking for friends turned into something bigger: a restaurant where anyone could pull up a chair and feel at home.
Today, Boil Bay is still that same place. Loud, warm, a little messy, and absolutely worth it.
What We Stand For
How We Do Things
Fresh Every Day
We source Gulf seafood daily. If it isn’t fresh, it doesn’t make it to your table. Simple as that.
Real Cajun Spice
Our spice blend is made in-house — no shortcuts, no packets. Every boil is seasoned from scratch.
Family First
We treat every guest like they’re sitting at our kitchen table. That’s not a tagline — it’s how we were raised.
Come see us.
We're open seven days a week and always happy to have you at the table.
