Bang Bang Seafood & Soulfood: A Nurse's Second Career in Seafood Boils

Bang Bang Seafood & Soulfood started with an unusual résumé: its owner spent years as a registered nurse before turning that same instinct for care into a kitchen. The restaurant, tucked into a 45th Street strip in West Palm Beach, describes its food as an explosion of flavor combining fresh seafood with the smoky magic of the grill — and the founder's healthcare background shows up in how deliberately the menu is built around nourishment as much as taste.

Build-Your-Own Boils and Grilled Standouts

The signature move here is the customizable seafood boil, where diners choose their own combination of shellfish and seasonings rather than picking from a fixed menu. Beyond the boil, the kitchen turns out grilled salmon, grilled jerk lamb chops, fried catfish, and wings — a menu that bridges classic seafood-shack comfort with soul food warmth.

Built for Events, Too

Bang Bang runs a full catering operation alongside the dine-in restaurant, handling everything from parties and festivals to weddings, and the kitchen ships out orders through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub for anyone who'd rather eat the boil at home.
