Reviews for Pinch Boil House in San Antonio, TX
6/24/22 8:32 pm. 85.00$ and could not be more disappointed. The wife and I went there tonight and it was not very good at all.... We got the seafood fest for two or 3 people and shared. First, this was not for two or 3 people, the portion was for one in myopinion , one very small piece of sausage and small piece of corn. Crab was ice cold, shrimp way over cooked. Rubber taste. Theflavor was ok, but for what we spent, definitely not worth it. I did talk to the manager and he said...OK and that was it. Tablenext to us had raw chicken in their rice bowl and wasn't happy either. We will not return nor recommend. We are not picky, butdang, huge fail. Read more
Very unassuming restaurant from the outside but as soon as you open the door everything changes. The food smells hit you and you... know you are in the right place. The staff is very friendly and attentive throughout your whole experience. I ordered the Panangcurry bowl and my friend had the Korean chicken bowl. We also ordered the fried dumplings and the Pinch fries with crab. Thecurry bow was one of the best curry that I have had. It was so smooth and delicious, the flavor balance was perfect. My friendreally enjoyed her Korean chicken bowl. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The dumplings well light and crispy, pairingwell with the dipping sauce. The pinch fries arrived fresh and hot, the sauces really compliment the fries. The portions arevery generous for the price. It had been two weeks and I still think about the curry bowl. Can't wait to go back. Read more
This was my first time coming to this new location after going to the original downtown location several years ago. It was a... Saturday night with 2 large parties, so there were only about 4 tables available, but 2 had reserved signs. It was a coldnight, so the small tables outside weren't an option. Luckily, 1 of the tables was leaving while I was ordering and they heldthe table for me. Ordered a few different boils with everything from mussels, shrimp, crawfish, clams, and the usual corn,potatoes, sausage. For the sauce, all ordered the O.G. Garlic Butter at a medium spice level. They were running behind, sofood took about 20 minutes and they forgot the pound of mussels. However, they apologized and offered a discount on that order. Also ordered a side of Pinch Fries and Pork Egg Rolls. I was a little disappointed the food was served in a bowl without muchsauce rather than in a pail like they used to or in a bag with all the sauce like other places. The food was good and fresh,but missed the character of the old place. There's a certain experience and flavor when it's served how it's cooked instead ofa bowl. Service was outstanding even though they were extremely busy. Read more
This place is in a perfect location for UIW student - across the street from main entrance. HAPPY HOUR: Tues-Friday 3-6 PM ... worth it! I ordered the Business Boil - 1/2 lb of shrimp, corn, sausage and potato, I customized mine with dragon sauce and the"spice is nice" dry rub, really spicy, REALLY GOOD. I saved the corn for last to absorb all the flavors and it was perfect. Myhusband ordered The Dirty Bird rice bowl - Korean Buffalo chicken, Asian cabbage slaw, peppers, and topped with umami mayo. Thepresentation for this dish was my favorite, see pic below! We ordered two Sapporo's and friend dumplings off the happy hourmenu. Had a great time and will be back when I visit UIW friends.

I've eaten at the downtown location multiple times and the new Broadway location is just as good. If you haven't been here, go... and have some of the best food in the area. Read more
The food is good and the previous reviews are spot on. Try it. It’s good. The only thing to know is that a lot of their food... is “Market pricing” so you don’t know exactly what to expect, and that their food can be on the spicy side. Read more
