Captain Crab - Fried Catfish Basket - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Clovis, California

Food was amazing great service and waiter with long black hair was super nice and did an outstanding job I definitely recommend this place

I feel very conflicted considering their food is usually one of my favorites but i went in today with my party of 6 at 8:50pm we drove over an hr for their food and considering they close at 11 we 100% thought we'd get a table but they sent us away and said they were done seating for the night due to the amount of people but there was several free tables and we said we were willing to wait but they denied us so we left very disappointed read more

I come to this place all the time I love the food here, I love all the service, we had Havana a couple times and she's so nice and sweet, our food always come out right away and taste wonderful. Good job keep it up read more

Been wanting to try this for awhile. Staff is nice and attentive and the food came out fast. The fried catfish was super fresh and cooked perfectly and my wife enjoyed the crab legs. Overall, it was about as good of fried seafood that you could expect in the valley, while just not at the level of something you would get on the coast. Great for a date night as these two entrees and two beers plus tip were only $60. I have spent that much on breakfast recently. read more

Our 10 year old wanted seafood boil so we came to Captain Crab. We ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings for an appetizer. For our meal we ordered Captain's Special w/ Dungeness Crab Legs, Headon Shrimp, Black Mussels and added Susage. We ordered it w/ Captains Seasoning and Medium Spicy. Everything tasted amazing. The prices are very reasonable and the service was great. We will definitely be back. read more

If you have food allergies, such as shrimp, you should NOT eat here... They apparently DO NOT have a separate setting to fry food away from the shrimp. Maria went to ask her Manager and came back to our table stating the Manager does not accommodate those who have food allergies, everything is fried in the same oil ... read more

Had a great time at Cap'n (haha I know it's Captain, but isn't Cap'n more fun??) Crab on a Thursday night in March. No wait to be seated. Pretty big space! They had everyone seated on one section of the dining area-very efficient. Our waiter was fast and friendly. We enjoyed water and a pacifico. They had a pretty good selection of beers and a few wines to choose from. This was my first time at any seafood boil place. The bucket of utensils, gloves, and bibs was fun and useful! We started off with the popcorn shrimp--very juicy and flavorful! We got 1/2 lb of crab legs to share and it was delicious and the perfect amount. I think next time I would order another half pound of shrimp or maybe some bread to go with it. Love the cute decor. Would definitely go back! Great cajun seasoning with mild spicyness-perfect for me. read more

02/01/25- We went to the Captain Crab in Clovis,CA. For their 2nd Anniversary serving the Clovis community. We got there about 1pm .Wasn't much of a line but lots of people were inside already. There was a hour 1/2 minutes wait. But we decided to wait and eat in for special celebration. They were also taken to go order and the line started to pick up. The host, Elmer was Awsome! He keep moving people and try to seat them within 45min wait. He clear tables and and even took to go orders until he got help. I was very impressed by the way he worked. We finally got seated about 2:30p (1hr 30min) like Elmer had said. We had also had an awesome waiter named, Mitchell. He always check on us make sure we are doing fine. His service was excellent also. I highly recommend this place. My friends couldn't finish their bag of seafood took it to go. I eat all mine and order another bag of seafood and took it home. You can't beat a $19.99 dining all a worth of $36.99. The atmosphere is friendly & pleasant. I will definitely go there again. I Love Seafood! . read more

Captain Crab - King's Feast Boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Clovis, California

The first time we stopped by this restaurant, it was packed with lots of people waiting outside. Luckily, we came back on a weekday and got a table right away. The menu has a variety of seafood and others. The servers were polite and even asked if we would like certain condiments like lemons. The ambiance was clean and definitely for all. I saw people on dates, family dinners, etc. The seafood quality was good with content flavoring as I got the captain special. I would prefer more minced garlic as the sauce was more liquid base and Cajun. read more

Grand opening on this new gem in Clovis, really enjoyed my seafood lunch! There are a couple non seafood items but the seafood options are endless... boiled & fried. I had the lunch catfish basket with Cajun fries, my dad had the fried shrimp basket with crispy sweet potato fries and my mom had the chicken tenders basket with onion rings. All hot and crispy!! Definitely coming back for some boiled seafood, I recommend trying this place out before or after a movie at Sierra Vista Prices are affordable, I was pleasantly surprised. The service was so friendly read more

Went a while back, but never reviewed this place. Love that they have an outdoor seating area. Very nice since it faces into the shopping center's plaza. Good ambiance. Annoying though because shopping center has loudass music & they also had music playing. Not the same music so it was a cacophony of different songs. Not fun! Food was decent overall. Would definitely go back again as long as they work on the music thing. Not necessarily as good or as much value as another place I won't name since they angered me w/their unwillingness to seat us outdoors (some of us still have to think of COVID) despite having served us multiple times before & they literally had NO ONE inside. read more

I enjoy their seafood specials, great price. Service is good and attentive. I always order the whole shabang with the spiciest spice level they got to offer. I love how on special days they do such a fantastic job with advertising great deals, especially on Mother's Day! Inside is super spacious so if you plan to come in a large group I think this place is a great place to come enjoy your seafood boil! read more

Horrible.!!!! Really wanted some good food but never did . Very rude girls and staff . Called asked if they were open and rudely replied yes but we stop serving or taking orders at 9.30 it was 8.15 . They had all the lights off on Shaw side . Went in 5 minutes later . Gal seats a couple in front of us then goes and starts talking to her co-workers for 5 minutes while we are just waiting us out . She knew we were waiting to be seated. Made eye contact multiple times but never came over . Place was filthy. Dirty tables all over with no people at them . Was kinda busy . This was a Thursday evening. Really was looking forward to this place but it won't happen. Nobody cares anymore customer service is horrendous these days .! read more

My wife suggested we try to eat at this business establishment, since it would be her second time eating here. However it'll be my first time stopping by here to dine in for some seafood boil. Guess this business is fairly new to this area in Clovis. Upon arriving to the establishment, we were greeted by friendly patrons and right away we were seated. Didn't have to wait since we showed up around 2pm for lunch specials. We were ready to eat so we started by ordering appetizers and the main course. For appetizers my wife requested crab cakes which comes with two crab cakes patties and a side of their dipping sauce. Next she ordered Cajun chicken wings which comes with a basket of Cajun fries and ranch dipping sauces and celery sticks. Finally she order two pounds of shrimps with head on with the Captain Special seasoning with medium spice level. Everything all came out to our table at one time. Oh yeah I got a side of steam white rice to eat my shrimps with. FYI... The Shrimp Seafood Boil also includes two corn on the Cobb and potatoes. I would say the seafood boil is comparable to "Kicking Crab" in San Jose. I actually like the flavor, seasoning and spices they had in our seafood boil. Great to know we didn't have to drive 3 hours away just to get our fix for seafood boil. We would definitely stop by this location again to order take outs or dine in. I recommend for anyone who likes and crave seafood boil, to give this business a try. I think we spent $75 total for everything including tips. So market price for the shrimp was reasonable, plus it was fresh and not frozen and mushy. read more

Favorite Spot for a Seafood boil! The service is always on point! Price is reasonable and restaurant is always clean.

Fresh and Flavorful Seafood: Many diners praise the Cajun-style boils and seafood bags--especially the popular "low-country boil" combos with shrimp, snow crab, sausage, corn, potatoes, and egg--served with fun, messy, hands-on presentation is on point. read more

STAY AWAY!! FOOD POISOING! I started coming down with my symptoms about an hour after sharing a bag of the "Kings Feast" with my wife yesterday 3/22/25. My wife's symptoms set in about an hour or two after mine. And it has been all downhill since then. Easily one of the most miserable experiences I've encountered in a very long time. Kind of funny (but not funny), my wife said, "I would rather go through childbirth again than go through this again." So remember that before you dine here at the Captain Crab! I should mention this seafood was the only thing we ate all day... and we've been so sick we've both lost at least 5 lbs overnight... Now its about 22 hours later and I am starting to feel a bit better.. So I called to alert the restaurant at noon (one hour after they opened) today 3/23/25... because I know that we can't be the only ones who got exposed.. but the manager "Joe Joe" (I believe) told me that "seafood is hard on people's stomachs and isn't for everyone"... LIKE WE HAVENT HAD IT BEFORE... I couldn't believe it. He didn't even say that they would investigate the kitchen. He didn't offer a refund.. Nothing. Basically we got the "sorry we got you sick, but there's nothing we can do for you." So ya, the service and experience at the restaurant was great. I really enjoyed the server and the environment... But dine at your own risk!!! And don't expect any help from Captain Crab if they destroy your gut for a day or two! read more

Food is delicious, service great. I came with 2 friends we shared the Ultimate Captain Special and added a half pound of sausage. This was perfect for sharing. The oysters were also very good. read more

The Food and service was excellent. The food came out quick and was packed with flavor. Definitely a good spot

Outside appearance: 5/10 trash in the patio area and not clear where the entrance is. Inside appearance: 10/10 clean and nice decor on the inside. Food options: 10/10 affordable seafood boils options. Purchased the 1lb of shrimp that came with corn and potato. Sauce: 3/10 (house sauce) I was so disappointed. It's not bad but not really what I expected. It was salty and not really Cajun seafood boil. Reminded me of Bubba Gump Overall great experience but will have to try other items on the menu. read more

food is alright they say the wait time will be 30 minutes for everyone expect it to take about an hour.

Second time here. Very disappointed. The oysters were super small. Shrimp was okay. Clam chowder was $6.00 for a small bowl. Fries were limp. 12:30 pm and I was the only person in the entire store. 22.00 for a mediocre senior lunch. Probably my last time here. read more

Another Hot and New to try! =) Lunch special 3/4th boil ordered without shrimp heads. Green mussels added. Just so you know, adding another meat adds another corn and potato. Captain special sauce and extra spicy. Michael took the order and he was very helpful and happy to give recommendations. Steamed rice added too! He said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went in to get it. The restaurant is really nice! Fun environment! Great decor! Music playing! Clean, safe and practiced. The order was ready and the worker brought it out. Paid for the order and wished a good day! Lunchtime! Order split. My half was absolutely delicious! Great, spicy flavor! Delicious, shrimp and mussels! The corn on the cob and potato with it were great too and made it even better! Impressed! Mother said hers was the bomb! She said the seasoning was right on point! Definitely messy! Napkins are necessary! Worth it too! Perfect amount for 2 people to split! Great service and Really Great lunch special! Delicious! They definitely deserve to be on the hot list! Highly recommended! read more

Saw this place before they opened a few weeks back and was in the area for lunch and was just excited to give them a try. Party of 2.5 my husband and I was greeted as we entered. This resturant had an open large dining area with plenty of seating. It was open, spacious and clean. With beautiful interior design. There was also a bar to the left of the entrance. We were seated given a menu and our server came and greeted us right away. Took our drink orders and gave us time to look over the menu. We came right on time for their lunch special (Mon-Fri 11am-3pm). We ordered from their boiling lunch 3/4 lbs shrimp and 3/4 lbs of green mussels captain special mild, one fried oyster basket, one catfish basket and once chicken tender basket which all came with fries and we ordered one of each; regular, sweet potatoes and Cajun. Our orders came out fast and it was all fresh and hot. The seafood boil was delicious and came with 2 potatoes and 2 corns. Seafood tasted fresh and the captain special seasoning was very good the corn was sweet and the potatoes cooked perfectly. I've never had fried oysters and it was actually really good. Nice crunch to all of our fried food. The chicken was tender. The fries were all perfectly fried. The sweet potatoes waffle fries were my favorite one of the best I've ever had love the crunchiness goodness of the outside and how the potato just melted with each bite. They also provided us with a variety of sauces for our fried food baskets. Overall we had a great experience. The food was good and very affordable our server was very attentive and nice. We would return. read more

I forgot to say in the handicap in a wheelchair and I still have this experience I previously reviewed now the owner of the establishment has responded saying he's gonna look into this almost 3 weeks ago. Still heard nothing back from the owner telling me hey we apologize. We got this correct this doesn't happen again no nothing, frustrated even the owner of the establishment could care less about the review This is just a follow up to my review of this place. This is not a new one. Mike is the franchise owner of the establishment look into this. I expected when you did that you at least respond and tell me you got taken care of or something. We spent a lot of money on crab establishment hoping for a great meal surprise it was a good experience if this is how you choose to run your business , this is your business the way you want your business to lose enough reviews like mine will hurt you. That's not my intention. I'm just stating the fact of my experience and you just insulted me by not even responding to it and good luck. read more

I placed two orders of the 1 pound of shrimp each, however, I received one order for 2 pounds of shrimp. When I called to let them know and confirm that my order read 2 orders which means two (2) separate bags, possibly going to two different people, i was advised that they assumed that it was for one person. I asked the young lady who answered the phone to give feedback for next time and was totally dismissed. read more

Second time here! Hasn't disappointed at all! Thank you Captain Crab. More than likely going to come back again. I was able to get my friend/co worker hooked read more

I was excited about this place because it is close to my house. We sat down quickly and orders were placed in a timely manner. Place is clean and modern music plays. We were seated close to the entry which made it was very cold. After that, it was a pretty disappointing experience. We waited 22 minutes for our starter: 2 bowls of clam chowder. Guests around us were getting their food, even those that were seated after us. After finishing our chowders, we waited another 12 minutes for our entree: an 8-piece fried shrimp plate with fries and cole slaw. Never received our cole slaw. Chowder and shrimp was just okay. Fries were very good. read more
