Last night was my first time at this restaurant, also any restaurant like it. My boyfriend and I ordered the shrimp with captains boil seasoning, snow crab legs with garlic seasoning, and the mussels with the lemon and black pepper seasoning. We started with the Cajun fries which were amazing, and then the seafood. It all came in great time, and it was all very well cooked and seasoned. The garlic seasoning was to die for on the snow crab legs.
The wait staff were extremely nice, and when the waiter found that it was out first time there, he explained the menu and gave recommendations very well. Our waters were always topped up. Once our meal was finished, they brought over a complementary dessert. I have no idea why, but it was very appreciated!
The meal cost $58 and change. For 3lbs of sea food and fries, it filled up both my boyfriend and I (both good eaters) and did not break the bank.
Overall, we will absolutely be coming back and bringing friends. The food was not only very well done, but its extremely fun to eat it with your hands. Prepare to get messy!
I'm a huge fan of Louisiana style food, and Captains boil didn't disappoint! I loved the fact that you have to eat with your hands (that's how it's done in the south btw) and the washing station is an amazing idea! The server was so friendly and made sure to explain the concept of the restaurant not once, but twice! I highly recommend the Captains boil seasoning for your food, it was amazing, as was the shrimp fried rice that we ordered.

So I've wanted to come here for quite some time now and it's just never happened, so when all signs pointed towards being here for dinner tonight, I was more than thrilled! Is it gonna live upto the hype? Have I possibly raised my expectations so much that I'm gonna be disappointed??.... HHHEEELLZZZZNNNOOOO!! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! To start off, there free parking just down the street, so totally bonus. Then you walk in and the atmosphere is so good, modern with sailor flair. Super clean. And the greeting by the hostess was perfect, super friendly with a huge smile, very inviting.
So now to the food. Pretty simple. Pick your catch (by the pound), pick your spice, and pick your heat level. Fave spice? That's a tough one as all 4 are amazing, but certain ones go better with certain picks. Found the captains boil on the shrimp with a medium heat to be the fave for shrimp. Clams, only tried them with the lemon pepper but so not disappointed, amazing. The muscles with the garlic spice was perfect, had to get 2 more pounds of that, easy. Got the crawfish, but only once to try and was definitely disappointed. Mind you I've never had them before so it was an interesting experience, but barely got through, they're all shell with almost no meat. So not worth the effort needed to get that tiny bit of meat out. The fresh oysters were to die for, wow so good. And for drinks we got vodka Caesars with a bottle of Soju on the side. You must! Poured half in each of our drinks, made the Caesars sssooo much better (and stronger).
The entire experience was amazing. After ordering enough shrimp, clams, oysters, muscles, and crawfish to absolutely stuff 2 people, drinks to get a nice buzz on, the bill came to around $150. And we got to hangout after and sip away and chat. Amazing experience! If you love seafood, or even just like it a bit, this is the place to go!
πππππ 5 star rating, easily!
I do have one beef with this place. And it's not the food or the service. It's the plastic bags. The food comes out in large thick plastic bags. And I can only assume they are not cleaning and recycling these bags but going right into the trash. And that's a dammmmm shame! I'll have to enquire if they are a compostable type and edit this post accordingly when I get the answer.
Had one of the best seafood meals I have had in a very long time. While I am a huge fan of the lobster normally, this lobster was not the prime eat that you get when you normally have lobster. The flavor was good but the texture was a little off and rubbery. The remedy to the slight rubberiness of the lobster was the phenomenal flavor, texture, and seasoning of the captain's boil crab legs. The house seasoning in combination with the medium heat was the perfect setup for the crab legs. When you add on top of this the fact that you eat with your hands... The experience itself is something you have to try at least once... and you will probably try it multiple times to be honest.
employees are really nice. The portions are huge and you can customize your meal in so many different ways! There are plenty of options and you will never leave with an empty stomach.
