We have tried liquid plumber by acciden lol and a bottle of draino I also tried baking soda salt and boiling water and it just won't go down. Any other suggestions?

You need to remove all of those chemicals from the drain and access the drain to use a cable to clear the obstruction.

If you have to remove all the water a shop vac works well.
But before you do that, you may want to try using two plungers and a pair of vise grips/pliers.
If you have a dishwasher hooked up to the gargage disposal, you will have to use the vise grips/pliers to pinch that line closed. Don't over do it or you may punch a hole in this rubber hose.
Than place one plunger over the garbage disposal side of the sink. Put the other plunger in the other sink and start plungering (sp). Sometimes this is enough to get the clog cleared, without having to take everything apart.
