  • The Boiling Pot began in 1985 as a humble fish house where Dot LeBlanc and her son, Mike, sold fresh shrimp and oysters. Soon after, Dot began cooking up fresh seafood for her friends and family and before she knew it, the business took off! Over the years, the restaurant has continued to thrive. Dot passed away in 2013, but her legacy lives on. Mike and his wife, Ramona, continue the business Dot began with the same recipes, service, and fresh seafood!

    We’ve been here 2 times. The second time was summer 2019. My wife and I took our grandson so he could experience it. I didn’t think much of it the first time, but for our grandson we’d give it another try. The corn seemed like it had been sitting in the pot all day. The sausage is probably the least expensive I’ve ever had. A few shrimp, the crab not even enough for our 9 year old grandson. Red potatoes, yeah well, can’t mess that up too bad. I’m guessing they were expecting Texas Country Reporter. Two 👎 down.
