| - Three stars for the service. During our whole time there it was friendly and helpful and we felt welcomed.
The Captain's boil is one of those places you go once for the experience but wouldn't be inclined to go back again. You order your "catch" by the pound - lobster/crayfish (seasonal), crab legs, clams, oysters, shrimp, and chicken if you don't want seafood. You pick your sauce - we picked the Captain's boil sauce. The food comes in a clear plastic bag.
The clams were good. Many fell out of their shells and drowned in the sauce it becomes too salty. We got it with mild spice, which actually tastes better than the one with no spice! The shrimp was average. It was hot! Be careful when you're eating them. Your mouth is more used to hot food than your fingers. We got one pound of clams (11.95) and one pound of shrimp (13.95) and portions were definitely not enough. I'm a small eater and even I was still hungry.
We ordered a side of cajun seafood fried rice. The rice was kind of like the kind you get when you order sticky rice. Good, but so salty and so buttery. You have been warned. Minimal amount of seafood and not worth 11/12 dollars.
I'm not one to be particularly passionate about the environment but I was kind of shocked at how much waste just two people made. Shrimp/clam shells, the plastic bags, paper towel (there is a whole paper towel roll for you to use), the plastic bibs, the plastic gloves, the plastic cups they give you for water (!), the can of Coke, and the brown paper table covering would all go to the garbage. Two people! Can you imagine four or even a bigger group of ten?
It actually made me a little uncomfortable and trust me when I say I'm really not one to be very passionate about the environment as bad as that sounds. But this was bad.
I wouldn't come back. It was mildly interesting to eat out of a bag with gloves but it's not worth another trip. Service is great though.
