I reccomend the mateys order 2 items for two people! great food at market value! tighter spacing in the restaurant tho, so be careful; the guy sitting behind me hit my chair, thats how tight spacing is.
Edit: They reached back out to me and provided a gift card for my experience. When I went back again, it was much better.
I came here a couple weeks ago and was extremely disappointed. The quality has really gone downhill. We ordered mussels, shrimp, and crawfish. For sides, we ordered corn and Cajun fries. When the bags of seafood came, there was barely enough sauce to coat the food. When I asked for more, the waitress told me it would cost $3 for a tiny cup of sauce....read full review

Very disappointing experience at Captain Boil.
We arrived around 8:40 PM and were told the restaurant was full. I asked about the seven empty tables I could clearly see, and we were told they were reserved and that people were coming.
By around 9:20 PM, those tables were still completely empty. Then we were told that the restaurant had a private party and would be closing at 10 PM.
Honestly, this explanation did not make sense to us. If there was a private party, why...read full review

The Captain's Boil offers a fun and casual dining experience where customers can enjoy seafood with their hands. The signature Captain's Boil sauce is popular among guests, and disposable gloves are provided to make eating easier. The menu features options like crayfish and calamari, with shrimp often chosen over crawfish because of the meat. Customers can customize their spice level, which may be mild for some, but overall, the experience is enjoyable and worth trying.
Some guests find the prices to be a bit high depending on the order, especially for items like king crab legs, which may seem small for the cost. Despite this, many visitors enjoy the experience of eating seafood out of a bag, making it a fun outing. The Kingsway location is noted to have better tasting food compared to the Robson Vancouver spot, but both locations offer a memorable seafood dining adventure.
However, some recent reviews suggest that the overall food quality has been inconsistent. Shrimp and mussels have been reported as overcooked and not enjoyable to eat. The service has also been described as rushed and difficult to get the attention of servers. Additionally, the significant amount of plastic waste generated by the restaurant's serving methods has been a concern for environmentally conscious customers.
