    In a nutshell; went for a holiday discount promo, was 100% worth it. Went relatively early knowing there was going to be a ridiculous line and glad to have stuck that decision as there it was. Got seated relatively quickly. Server was attentive and explained our promo and options very well. Food didn't take too long despite how busy it was. The food was great. The sauce and all its tidbits was good. Overall a very good experience if youre looking to treat yourself to a seafood boil.

    We walked in late Saturday night around 9:40pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant was pretty full but service was very quick. I always get a seafood boil bag minus seafood because I love all the flavors! I still get a good bag with corn, sausage, egg and potatoes! The hush puppies are always also delicious. Seating is very spacious inside as well. We like the spicier side so we get Cajun hot.

    The food was buss. The interior/ ambiance immaculate. Service like the military. Ran a tight operation. Chefs kiss

    Extra sauce I use for my seafood pasta.

    Tried it for the first time; Tried fish catfish basket and hush puppies. In all honesty, I could taste the same Cajun Spices I buy from Walmart. Not impressed. Will have to try everything else that looks awesome on the Menu. But of course, it all depends on the taste of my palate.

    I came in for a pickup order, and I do want to start by saying the staff was really nice and welcoming. Even though the food wasn't quite ready when I arrived, they were friendly and polite, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't fully deliver. When we got home and opened everything up, we noticed some of the shrimp were starting to turn black, which was concerning. On top of that, a lot of the shrimp was overcooked, and the shells were sticking to the meat, making it pretty frustrating to eat. The oysters were okay, but didn't taste as fresh as I was expecting, especially for a seafood spot. That said, the seasoning and overall flavors had potential, and the service experience was positive. I just wish the quality and execution of the seafood matched it. Hoping this was just an off day, because there's definitely potential here.

    10/10. I came here alone the day before Mother's Day and got their boil special that apparently was for 3-4 people to split... it was ginormous but it was beyond fantastic. the service was also amazing despite it being super busy at 530p. I cannot wait to go back!!

    This was a 10/10 seafood boil place and experience super friendly staff and the food was amazing if you are ever around one you need to stop in

    I come here quite often and I do really love it. It always hits the spot, I feel like it's a good price as well normally I share the family special with my bestie and it's only $30 something each splitting the bill. I always get the snow crab, green mussels, and shrimp. I also love the clams, I get captains special for the seasoning and its bomb. I always get extra dip on the side too, and the food comes out really fast which I appreciate!!

    We placed a to-go order at Captain Crab and tried the Dungeness crab in Cajun sauce (extra hot), half pound shrimp in Cajun sauce, onion rings, and crispy Cajun fries. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, but we were disappointed that the shrimp and crab were packed together in the same plastic bag, even though they were meant for two different people. It made the meal messy and less enjoyable. I wish the person taking the order had double checked instead of assuming everything should go in one bag. On top of that, the Cajun sauce was very heavy-handed with butter and oil, which overpowered the seasoning. The sides were solid--both the onion rings and Cajun fries were crispy and satisfying. Still, the packaging and the excess oil left us a little underwhelmed, especially given the price point. That said, the ambience is fun and lively based on our past dine-in experience. Captain Crab has potential, but more attention to detail with takeout preparation and balance in the seasoning would make a big difference.

    I live about 10 minutes away from this place and had always been a little skeptical about trying…read moreit. After seeing a TikTok influencer recommend it and show what she ordered, it looked really good, so I finally decided to give it a shot. I had been craving something that was light, balanced, and packed with protein, and after reading the reviews, the All Everything Protein Bowl seemed like the perfect choice. I placed my order for pickup, and the first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean the restaurant smelled. Surprisingly, there wasn't a strong seafood odor at all, which I actually appreciated. Service: picked up my food upon arrival and everything was ready. The All Everything Protein Bowl was fresh, light, and didn't have overpowering flavors. It came with chicken, fish, and shrimp, making it a well-balanced, protein-packed meal. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up really enjoying it. The seafood tasted fresh and clean, and the ingredients worked well together without feeling too heavy. My only critique is that I wish it came with a little more sauce. Other than that, I had a great experience and will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items.

    Food: 3.8 Service: 2.5…read more 1st time coming here even though my wife has been coming here frequently with her girlfriends, so excited to give this establishment a try after working / doing demonstrations at the State Fair. There's plenty of parking and after walking in; I was disappointed since there was no one willing to take orders in person so we were forced to navigate their kiosk menu ordering system. Their system is fairly simple to use, plenty of pictures to show you what each item potentially looks like. But if you're not use to ordering from a kiosk then it can be frustrating. We finally got our order placed and sat until our food was ready (call by name). When our food was ready, everything was there except my salad (only thing they didn't have to cook, LOL). Food was prepared well and plated nicely. I was surprised that my wife ordered her fish fried and not grilled but the fish portion was huge, but she seemed very happy with her food & her sides: brussel sprout and sweet potato fries. My two fish tacos was pretty good the ends of each portion was mostly batter which gave you that crunch sound on the first bite but the tacos was missing something maybe some salsa/hot sauce or a crema. My side: street corn and Caesar salad. Their street corn was on point so I added it to my tacos which gave it more flavor. The salad was nice and refreshing. I did also order their clam chowder which was creamy but after several spoonfuls, the taste of butter was prominent; so I never finish the soup. BONUS: they serve Stubborn soda, so if you never had it then it's worth just stopping in for that alone! Overall, nice visit.

    Hospitality was wonderful…read more Food was fantastic and portions were great. Cat fish was perfect. Crispy outside with a moist center. Portion was huge. I don't typically like cornbread but it was moist here and that glazed crisp muffin top was awesome. Collard greens were flavorful. Moist and tender. Not overcooked. Mac an cheese was super cheesy. Kids loved the lemon pepper wings which are a dry rub. The chicken was surprisingly a good sized wings. Not dinky sized. Lol Garlic parmesean are dipped in a wet rub. Bit too salty for me but still good. Cajun red beans and rice was great. Flavorful. Lamb chops were perfection. Cooked medium rare. Sweet glaze sauce on top. Nice portion. Location was clean. Homey.

Food: The fried fish and greens were decent. I especially enjoyed the mac n cheese. The boudin is not, but an interesting try.

Truly disappointing. :( Service: Pretty quick and attentive. It wasn't too busy inside at the time.
