    I took my family here for my dad's birthday and got their Holiday Feast special for the second time which included 2x Lobster, 2x Snow Crab, Shrimp, Mussels, Clams, Calamari, Fries, Seafood Fried Rice, Chicken Fried Rice, Okra, Broccoli, Sausage, Corn, Potato and Boiled Egg. We tried all the sauces: garlic, lemon pepper, cajun and captain's boil. The garlic and the lemon pepper sauces are great with the vegetables and the clams and mussels. The cajun and captain's boil are great with the shrimp, lobsters and crabs. We really enjoyed the food and will continue to come back here. Our server, Henry, was very attentive as well. We came here on Sunday evening so they're not as busy as they usually are on Fridays and Saturdays. Highly recommend!

    My husband wanted some seafood for his birthday. I would have love to go to Toronto for more selection but my son had too much homework so decided to stay in ssauga. We ended up going to Captain's boil. It was lunchtime but it was not busy at all so we got our food quickly. We ordered the Matey's feast to share. It came with a pound of shrimp, pound of mussels, sausage, 2 small corn, Cajun fries with fried shrimp and seafood fried rice. The food was ok. We ordered medium spice but both my son and I felt it was way spicier than a medium. The fried rice was good. It came with lots of shrimp. The Cajun fries was way too spicy, it really numbs your mouth. The shrimp and mussels were quite tasty and the sauce saved the day. Would I come back here? Meh, I think I would try another place. I find it too expensive for what you get. I could get better seafood somewhere else. The birthday boy was somewhat satisfied he got some sort of seafood giving it a couple of stars for that.

    Amassing places to visit.

    Food was exquisite, service Sally best waitress and ambiance very nice. They care about you all the time, they service your request faster, drink are perfect, is a places between our preferences.

    Exceeded expectations! As of June 2023, mp of snow crab legs is $37.99, dungess crab is $54.99, king crab legs is $78.99. It's a little pricey but it's worth the price, each portion was a more than 1lb, seafood is extremely fresh. Server is very friendly. My only small complaint is the sauces are too salty. Captains boil sauce was overpowering the crab, Cajun sauce was great. Also

    For my niece birthday and family treat we decided to try Captain's Boil since we haven't been there before. We ordered the feast B, the quantity was ok for the price. However I gave a 4/5 sine the broccoli and the potato was over cooked. Overall everyone was happy with the meal and we enjoyed it. It was great experience trying something different. The lobster was absolutely delicious and the sausage was by far the best I ever had. Most definitely will revisit again.

    I'm glad to see a newly opened Mississauga branch of Captain's Boil! My significant other who has never tried the Captain's Boil before thoroughly enjoyed it and I found the experience here stacks up (if not better) than the other locations out there. Upon walking in I loved seeing the big brightly lit SAUGA sign and the wide open space and the super massive screen by the main bar area. The food was excellent. Everything arrived piping hot and fresh. We ordered the southwest lobster roll and ordered it with cajun fries instead of the regular at no extra cost (huge kudos for that). The cajun fries were crispy and were delightfully spicy. The lobster roll itself was loaded! The butter soaked toast enclosed the cajun mayo lobster with a lot of cheese and bacon bits on top. It was a bit on the salty side with all the contributing salty components so perhaps a reduction in salt would be good. We also went with a pound of shrimp in their signature captain's sauce with two corn (best bang for your buck if you were wondering!). The shrimp was fresh and sauce was amazing. This time it wasn't salty and was a perfect balance of garlic, spice, and lemon. The corn was buttery and creamy and soaks up all the sauce nicely. Minor hiccups occurred but was understandable being a newly opened restaurant. There was a slight order mix-up as another pound of shrimp arrived after we had gotten our order and the waitress looked rather confused. Otherwise, the service was great and our main waitress was really friendly and explained the menu and recommendations thoroughly. Waiters and waitresses were definitely attentive here and handled us well! I was semi disappointed we couldn't try the sizzling plate for dinner but if the feedback is good, perhaps it could also be offered as a dinner item. Otherwise, I'll definitely be back and come in for lunch to try it! P.S. Loved the fact that all the bags here are biodegradable and are okay for the environment!

    If you've never dined from here before, then prepare yourself as you'll be feasting! The Seafood is here is well seasoned and delicious. While offering different flavours, we chose their famous Cajun flavour and had shrimp, clams and snow crabs! Along with the combo came Cajun fried rice and fried shrimp. Everything is delicious!

Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

I went there for lunch earlier and picked up two shrimp boils in medium spice, robot blend and it was great as usual. Service is always amazing and today was no different.

I also used the washroom before I left and it was clean and smelled good as usual. Will be back next week!

The place is quite small though nicely decorated.They use robots to carry the food around so I found that the service was went quite smoothly. My friend ordered oysters. I'm not a big fan of oysters but the one's here are of good quality. We each ordered a pound of mixed seafood. She ordered the shrimp and the frozen mussels, while I did the shrimp and fresh mussels. Then we had the seafood fried rice. Finally, we shared an order of lobster tail; they gave us two so we had one each. The seafood rice was superb; just the right amount of spice and full of flavour. My mixed seafood was also quite good. I was pleased with the shrimp. The mussels tasted fine although do take note that the fresh mussels tend to be smaller than the frozen ones. I had some mussels that were incredibly small, to the point where it didn't actually feel like I ordered a pound of seafood. I ordered the robot blend for my pound of seafood, which was stellar. Very good Southern boil flavours. I tried the coconut and curry sauce with the lobster tail and it tasted a little underwhelming. Another note: I ordered my seafood with the sauce while my friend ordered the sauce on the side. I would actually recommend ordering it on the side, especially if you have mussels, so you can get a good coating of sauce on the mussels themselves (as opposed to the shells). Overall, it was a good experience. If you're looking for a nice seafood boil place, this is a good place to start. This is close tot he Bloor-Yonge station so it's quite conveniently placed!

Out of the seafoods, mussels were my personal favourite. They were plump and tender, holding onto the sauce in their shells, creating tasty mouthfuls. Portions were more generous than initially met the eye -- as we ate, we did quickly become full. A downside is that warm/hot things are served in plastic bags. Mmmm yummy micro plastics... And the tables and washroom were not the cleanliest. I loved the decor of the place. Interesting art to look at, and splashes of colour here and there. Lots of tables. Paid parking is relatively easy to find in the neighbourhood.

    On a hot, sunny day, I visited The Captain's Boil with friends for some seafood, and I have to say,…read moreI had a great time. From the outside, the familiar black-and-white sign was clean but showed signs of age, with faint white streaks suggesting that the exterior could use a refresh. Inside, we were greeted by a wall of colourful sticky notes, adding a fun touch to the dark, brick-lined interior. I also appreciated the nearby sink, making it easy to wash our hands without heading to the bathroom. It was definitely convenient. After being seated, the menu left much to be desired. It showed its age, with white scratches that made it hard to read the items. The ordering system was not intuitive for a first-time visitor, so we had to rely on our server for guidance. Also, the drinks menu looked like a printout from Excel, which was small, hard to read and, unfortunately, overpriced. We ordered the Matey's Feast along with another order of seafood, which was a generous meal for three people. Matey's Feast is one of their set meals that allowed us to choose two types of seafood, along with a variety of sides. Each boil also came with two regular sides, which was a nice touch. We went with Captain's Boil seasoning at medium spice, which was just right for enjoying the seafood. The boils arrived in clear bags, and we had to take them out of the bag and eat by hand. Shrimp Basket: A hot and crispy appetizer served on a bed of Cajun fries, which really whetted my appetite. The tartar sauce and ketchup on the side complemented the crunch. Captain's Fried Rice with Seafood: A simple but tasty plate of rice with shrimp. We added some of the sauce from the seafood boils for extra flavour. It was filling. Seafood Boils: Each bag of seafood was packed with seasoning and came with disposable gloves so we could dig in with our hands. The clams were cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of spices. The shrimp required a bit more work, with the heads and shells needing to be removed, but they were large and fresh, making it worth the effort. The extra sauce in each bag was perfect for drenching our sides or adding more flavour to the fried rice. Sides: We chose corn for the regular sides and sausage for the premium side. Corns were quarter-length cobs of corn and the sausages were served sliced. We tossed both into the seafood boil bags to soak up the spicy sauce, making them even more enjoyable. The service was adequate, with staff checking in occasionally to ensure we had everything we needed. The washroom, located downstairs, was not spotless but still serviceable. In terms of value, I found the pricing to be on the higher side. The drinks, at $4 each, were refillable but expensive considering I only had two cups. Given that it's a seafood restaurant, higher prices were expected, but I appreciated that sides like fries and fried rice helped fill us up. Overall, I had a good time. My rating of 3 reflects the tricky ordering process and steep prices, but the food was definitely enjoyable, and I left feeling full. I'd return if I was in the mood for seafood boil and ready to splurge a little.
