I've been waiting sooooo long to come and try one of these boil bars that's been all the rage lately and to be honest, my first experience was great.
We had ordered mussels with sausages, clams (which I think was the best), snow crab legs and cajun fries. The flavors we tried were - cajun, lemon pepper and Captains Boil (which is a mixture of cajun, lemon pepper and garlic sauce). The Captains Boil was the best one.
Whenever I tried seafood at restaurants - it was usually overcooked to the point that it's chewy like rubber and the meat would've shrunk to some tiny toy size. But here - that wasn't the case - just thinking about it makes me want to go back ... the mussels and clams were so plump, juicy and perfectly cooked. The crab legs didn't really have much flavor to the meat but that's rather obvious cause the seasoning was put on AFTER it was cooked so all of the flavoring was on the shell.
The cajun fries was.. underwhelming in comparison to the cajun fries at Five Guys. Usually my fiance fights with me for the left remaining cajun fries - but that didn't happen during our visit to Captains Boil.
The gloves provided sort of helped with keeping our fingers clean - but a lot of the oils seeped through it - maybe I should've double gloved (don't know why I didn't think of it earlier..)
Service was friendly and fast. They answered every question we had and gave us a thorough explanation of how ordering worked.
Overall, great experience - I would come back again.
