Quietly opening its doors Dec. 21, with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier today, east side steamed seafood lovers no longer have to venture over to Gordon Square for their fix of the Boiler 65.
The seafood-in-a-bag concept took both sides of Cleveland by storm back in 2017, with multiple similarly-themed restaurants opening around that time. As our food editor Douglas Trattner noted back then, “Boiler 65, and others like it, offers diners a wildly fun, social and atypical way to enjoy seafood, but the table looks like a bloody massacre when you’re done.”
The new location, found at the former Levin Mattress spot on 13957 Cedar Road, offers the same rowdy atmosphere along with Cajun/Asian-spiced shrimp, crab, lobster and crawfish.
And as always, bibs and gloves are included.
The new Boiler 65 is open daily from 3 to 11 p.m. through the week and noon to 11 p.m./10 p.m. on the weekends.

Lee’s Seafood Boil has been at the intersection of Cedar and Lee in Cleveland heights for 4 or 5 years now. Seafood Shake is still open on Coventry just south of Mayfield. The Sauce Boiling Seafood Express is at 13888 Cedar Road.
So, this will be the FOURTH seafood-in-a-bag place in practically the same east side city.
Thanks for ignoring the others, you #$$%&%&#.
He’s covered the one in Coventry. C’mon, you “person” (???).
