//The line

The Boil's Chrystie St location does not take reservations and runs first-come, first-served, according to web listings and reviews. That no-reservation policy, paired with a small, tight dining room, has led reviewers to describe waits as "super long" once the restaurant fills up.

Reviews note that despite the wait, the space stays crowded and lively, with diners donning bibs and gloves for shared bags of seafood. The tight footprint means turnover is slow relative to demand, extending the line during busy periods.
