Overall experience was mildly intriguing for a 2nd visit only out of obligation to a loved one. The food seems alright when its hot as it arrives but it soon cools down and you find yourself cracking into cool lobster and muscles with a side of warmish rice and noodles. The broccoli dipped in garlic stayed warmer than everything else. I tried this 8 years ago here and wasn't impressed for the $$$ and I tried it again late 2025 and still am not moved much.
This is the kind of place you don’t come alone to. You need a friend or two (or more!) to justify buying a giant feast of seafood to share - and it’s oh so worth it. Do not, I repeat, do not lie to yourself and just get an appetizer and a small main, go all out and share a full on boil with your friends. Also, small note that the Cajun fries are top notch. Hot and crisp, with that perfect level of spice that sneaks up on you after a few mouthfuls.
I used to like captain's boil a lot more. It was just okay last time I went (first time at this location). Frozen crab legs are just not edible here.

I like that they posted the price on the wall though, some locations don't and you have to keep asking them for price of each menu.

I would still go for their fried rice but that's just about it. I feel like that's the only dish that you can count on across locations. Fried...
