Me and my friend went to the Captains Boil for the first time and were super excited!
The restaurant itself is small and the ambience is lacklustre but clean. When we arrived we were seated promptly and helped by a wonderful waiter who explained how everything worked to order. We got a cocktail each which came quickly. We ordered a seafood platter to share which was amazing! Although, not once did anyone check on us once getting the food – we did not see our original waiter again. Our drinks sat empty we would’ve ordered another round but no employee was helping us anymore. When we finished we had to get another servers attention and ask for a to go box cause the platter was too much for the two of us – but delicious. After sitting there for another 15 minutes I thought maybe we had to pay at the front cause once again ZERO service – after getting up and asking a different server we asked how we pay and she went and got another employee to bring us our bill. All in all food was delicious but pricey ($100 each which we found fair for the amount of seafood we received) – service was good at first and then terrible cause as mentioned we received no service (not to check on our drinks, not to ask how everything was, not to ask if we were done even though we sat there a long time, not to bring a bill etc etc etc). Not sure if we would go again because of the lack of service and if I’m paying $100 for myself for a meal service would be nice. Gave three stars for the food, service at the very beginning of our meal was great. If you plan on going go for the food and keep your expectations VERY LOW for service if you are lucky enough to get any.

Very disappointed. Spent a hundred and fifty dollars on dinner for 3. I ordered in store.It was ready within fifteen minutes. So that made me a little curious we got it home, not only did they?Forget to put items in our order and had to drop it off on their way home forty five minutes later. But our food was pretty much cold.I lived right across the street.So it should have been cold. Not only that, the tuna and all of it was way overboiled.The corn was so mushy like water. And my eighty four dollar lobster wasn’t even solid meat.It was mushy like tuna. You figured they would have cracked the lobster.Shells, since it was a to go order and people would be eating it at home. But no, we had to go downstairs.And get tools out to eat our lobster because they didn’t even break the shell. Definitely won’t waste my money there again.

We only ordered 2 dishes here (was quite full before coming here)
– Seafood fried rice
Rice was a bit sticky, clumps together a bit, but very buttery, comes with scallops, green onion. The sauce is very rich and delicious!
– Seafood boil with crayfish, captain boil sauce, 2 sides: corn and potato.
Mildly spicy – just enough for us to have a bit of runny nose! The sauce was buttery, savoury and rich!

EDIT, 3 HOURS LATER: just violently vomited several times. Was it worth it? Maybe.
I recommend coming here for the experience at least once, or if you don’t want to or don’t know how to make your own seafood boils.
1. The service was average. Only one person at our table got a drink refill, and it wasn’t even verbally offered. Took a while for our order to get taken despite the place being empty. No instructions on whether to come up to pay or pay at the table.
I’ve seen people say the ladies there don’t really provide great service but I’m there to eat not make small talk so I don’t really care about being treated special – but I’d like my stuff refilled for sure.
2. The portions were insanely small, and I don’t mean the seafood – the seafood actually filled me up decently (shared a Matey’s feast with mussels and shrimp, and two snow crab boils between 4 people) but the amount of sides was sad. Corn and potatoes and eggs cost next to nothing for restaurants so for a “feast” to have one egg and one potato per bag is pretty crazy.
Also a good chunk of my crab legs were like half empty – not a lot of meat in some of those legs. But I did see them throw a few extra pieces in to make up for that so I appreciate it.
3. The food was actually delicious, the sauce was yummy – the mild was definitely spicy when it would collect in the shells. The rice is surprisingly spicy, so if you’re stomach-sensitive to spice it will hurt, but my mouth wasn’t on fire or anything.
The fries are delicious, the rice was good, the seafood was cooked decently, and the shrimp were soft and yummy. The sausage was flavourful too.
I’ll come back when I’m craving a seafood boil and don’t wanna make it myself, but this is definitely something you can make at home for less than the $200 + tip that we spent here.

Captain’s Boil is hands down one of the best seafood spots I’ve been to! The atmosphere is fun and casual, perfect for hanging out with friends or family. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were on point — especially the signature Captain’s Boil sauce, which is rich, buttery, and packed with spice.
Portion sizes were generous and definitely worth the price. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and messy in the best way possible. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
If you’re a seafood lover who enjoys bold flavors and a hands-on dining experience, Captain’s Boil is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I was sooo excited to finally try a seafood boil at the captains boil but was EXTREMELY disappointed. We paid $150 +tip for one seafood boil (king crab leg market value was $95, added ramen), an order of chicken wings, and two beers. The wings were nothing special but the seafood boil was AWFUL. Waaayy too much seasoning and oil, I had to pour some of my water onto it and it only helped slightly. After leaving, I gagged the whole drive home and then vomited twice. One and done with the captains boil.

If you’re craving seafood, Captain’s Boil is the perfect spot to satisfy your appetite. The experience was both sensory and adventurous—I loved being able to eat with my hands! It’s a fantastic and fun outing for a date or a get-together with friends or family. And the food? Absolutely 10/10!

This was my first time at this business .Regarding my review on the subject of food, I ordered the shrimp boil and it was OK Value pricewise because you got fairly large shrimp and a fair amount. The real disappointment was that I had to work at my dish to eat it. The shrimp arrive in a plastic bag!?! The shrimp are still with their shells, legs and tails. While I’m peeling all of them, it’s hard because of the oil so I gave up after a few and took my meal home and did it there. Your hands are covered in oil unless you use the plastic gloves they give you lol. The shrimp will be cold by the time you Peel them All. I asked for mild spice because I want a little flavor, but I can’t handle heat and it was a little too spicy for me so I should’ve asked for the bland. Ordered the side of brussels sprouts for about $10. There was definitely not a lot there for the price. I’d be willing to try this place again, but I definitely won’t order the shrimp. My friend ordered the lobster bisque which she said was great.
