200 dollars for a one star meal . Craw fish tasted like dirt . The shrimp was mushy ? Why? Couldn’t even peel off the skin. And so overly saucy . Skip this place
Ordered some food for my mom's birthday. The shrimp were obviously freezer burned, the snow crab legs were very skinny/empty and the lobster was the same. Very disappointed
I always request for spoons in the Uber Eats requests and I never get them. Pathetic.

Ordered from this place on Uber Eats and received the wrong order.
I ordered the mix and match with steamed rice but got the sausage instead.
Not being to eat sausage ruined the order completely and night

Captain’s Boil was a unique dining experience for me. Prices of the day vary based on the cost of the catch, and the food is served steaming hot straight out of the bag. The style of eating was something I was not used to, with food in the bag being eaten out on the table and a bin provided for shells and bones. It was messy hands-on but interesting, and most importantly, very flavorful - just very pricey for the portion size.

This is one of my favourite boil places to go to. Their own personal unique sauce is incredible.

Shrimps weren’t deveined so my friend had to wipe them out. Sauce was kinda dry besides that food was pretty tasty! The robot server was awesome! Not sure if I’ll go back. Giving it a 2.5

I was honestly really disappointed with my experience at Captain’s Boil. I asked for a gluten-free sauce option and was told they didn’t have one, so they offered me a side of “butter” instead.
After tasting it, I asked if it was butter or margarine, and only then they told me it was margarine and that they don’t have real butter. That’s extremely frustrating - especially when someone is trying to be careful with dietary restrictions and ingredients. I should’ve been told that upfront instead of being led to believe it was butter.
The food quality was also subpar. The shrimp was full of actual poop, which completely ruined my appetite. The mussels were overcooked - very chewy and unpleasant, almost as if the chef was not confident in the cooking.
The only positive was the service. Our server was genuinely kind and went out of her way to find solutions, and I appreciate her effort -but the food and the lack of transparency made this a disappointing experience overall.
