I’ve been coming to this location for 8 years, and it’s still my favourite seafood boil spot! 🦀🦐 The food is always delicious and full of flavour. The customer service is great, and I always have a wonderful experience whenever I come here. Even after all these years, I still love coming back. Definitely one of my go-to places for seafood. Highly recommend! ❤️

I stopped in at this place for a quick bite and let me tell you I was blown out of my seat. The waitress was so kind and friendly. She suggested a dish and I opted for it. Everything on the menu looks spectacular. I didn’t know where to start or where to finish so I just decided to go with what she suggested, it had a little bit of everything in it. The flavour of the dish was out of this world. The customer service was spectacular. The environment was nice and peaceful, and I can’t stress how good the food was. Wish this place was closer to my house as I’d be a frequent visitor. Unfortunately, for me, I’ll have to make the drive out here to have this amazing seafood boil. Captain Boil you’re definitely a hidden gem. Keep up the amazing work and don’t change a thing.

Had an amazing experience at Captain’s Boil! The seafood was incredibly fresh, you can taste the quality in every bite. We ordered the Captain’s Sizzling Plate and everything came out perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The cocktails were another highlight — super tasty, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the seafood. The staff was friendly, the service was quick. Definitely coming back!

First time trying this place after it’s been on my to go list for so long! The sauce is really good and full of flavor. The fried rice was loaded with meat and tasted super fresh. The seafood was great too. On top of that, the customer service was amazing it was super friendly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!
