    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

    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.

We got the "special" buy one pound get the next pound free so we did shrimp. We got shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and dungeness crab with the special blend in one bag. The hook and reel special blend was honestly pretty gross it was sweet, Smokey and not very buttery or salty at all. We asked for lemon pepper and extra butter to put inside(which was an extra charge) it made it a little better but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The garlic noodles were really good they had a soy sauce flavor, garlicky and cheesy. The price was pretty expensive considering I've spent $30 less elsewhere. Here at hook & reel I spent $96 The service was good. She was very kind and helpful but also wasn't very attentive. The restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall I wouldn't come back and I recommend going to Captain crab in Elk Grove it is so much better tasting and cheaper!!

I normally enjoy their entree's however, I was quite confused when my plate came out and it only had 3 scallops, 1 was overcooked (I guess I paid $10 per scallop since the plate itself was $36). The flavor profile was nice and light which went well with the green beans and the scallops. The waitress was very inattentive and refused to offer a complimentary birthday dessert after trying to upsell the desserts on the menu. I'll be back, but for HH only!

I wish Yelp let us make corrections instead of writing new reviews. But if you want a laugh, Yelp always lists the original alongside the new. Quality food, fun presentation, and packed with flavor. High marks all the way around. Very classy, upscale place to eat. Featuring seafood, they also have other options for those not so inclined. However, be aware that most of the menu focuses on seafood, which they do exceptionally well! FOOD: Like I mentioned, the food here (not hair) is excellent! The quality of ingredients is way above average. The variety of seafood, and the ability to basically craft your own meal is amazing. And the presentation is just spectacular! Usually going to a seafood restaurant, all I want is seafood. But for some reason I was craving mac & cheese, so I got the lobster mac & cheese. Often times, in a lobster mac & cheese you get a sprinkling of lobster. Here you had big full chunks of delicious, perfectly cooked lobster. It was amazing! My wife got the seafood in a bag which was so much fun and definitely well worth the price. Plus it was lots of fun. SERVICE: If there was anything better than the food, it would be the service! They were so attentive and kind and thoughtful that it was hard to believe! Plus, as I said, the presentation of food was on point. And the seats were spacious as well as comfortable. Really can't get much better. COST: Here is the one area that I would say might crimp your style. It will definitely put a dent in your wallet. The food and service are great, but the cost is pretty high! However, for being in the capital of California, in the middle of a convention center area, and considering the quality of food, you are definitely getting something well worth it.
