| - Came here for lunch on a weekday. The inside looks nice and modern; there weren't that many customers when we went at around 12:30PM. Interestingly enough, there is a sink in the dining room for people that would like to wash their hands immediately after indulging in some messy, cajun seafood.
For two people, we ordered a pound of mussels (captain's boil sauce and mild), a chicken teriyaki rice dish (captain's boil sauce and mild), and a basket of regular fries. The food came extremely quick (like 5mins or less); I assume most of it is ready to go and it just needs to be assembled into a serving dish and/or bag for customers to enjoy.
The mussels were juicy and I feel like they are the most easy to eat with your hands compared to the other seafood that was offered. The captain's boil sauce was great, really buttery to the point where I don't even want to think about how many calories it was haha. The fries were crispy, seasoned, and little bit spicy. They are definitely a must if you need a filling side because ordering and eating straight up seafood can get pricy and even boring.
The only real complaints about the food I have is about the chicken teriyaki rice. First of all, it's not chicken teriyaki. It's just chicken slices with captain's boil sauce on it. There's no teriyaki sauce or other garnishes such as beansprouts in the dish, which is sorta misleading. I also wish it had more sauce on the rice; I had to pour some of the sauce from the bag of mussels onto the rice which made it so much more enjoyable to eat.
Secondly, this restaurant uses disposable EVERYTHING as mentioned in other reviews. From the bowls to the utensils, the paper towels, the table cloth, the cups -- I believe everything is just wrapped up in the paper table cloth at the end and dumped at once for easy clean-up. I know convenience is important and it's probably the most cost-saving but I wouldn't doubt Captain's Boil's carbon footprint to be outrageously high.
The service was nice, and it wasn't too expensive. The bill came up to around $30 for two people which is pretty good. We were definitely full by the end of it. I would come again but probably only for lunch because the rice dishes are only available at that time and they are pretty cheap, tasty, and filling.
