This place was seriously impressive--honestly better than Boiling Crab and more affordable too. The seasoning was on point and everything tasted fresh and high quality. The only downside is that sides like potatoes and corn cost extra beyond the single portion included, and the potato itself was a bit small. That said, it was still absolutely worth it. The hush puppies were a standout, and the ranch? So good. I also tried the onion rings, which didn't disappoint. Next time, I'm definitely going for the clam chowder and fried pickles. Service was excellent--we were seated right away with no wait, which is always a plus. The decor added to the experience too, with crab nets hanging from the ceiling giving it a fun, coastal vibe. I'll definitely be coming back every time I'm in Sacramento. read more

Captain Crab on Elk Grove-Florin, celebrated their 4th Year Anniversary by offering their famous low-country boil for $24.99. I grabbed a couple to-go, one flavored with the captain's choice and the other with the Cajun garlic butter. Both were very good, but the captain's choice had more flavor because it was a combination of all the sauces. Each boil had a snow crab claw ( with four legs), approximately 10 shrimps, plenty of sausage, a potato, and a hard boiled egg. The flavors were rich in garlic and Cajun flavor, and the egg and potato was perfect in balancing spiciness of the sausage and sauce. Though purchasing to-go is a great option, I would prefer to dine in, in their large dining room, set up nicely for parties of all sizes. read more

The service was great. The food came fast and large quantities. Very good seasons- we got the family size order- $65 you can order crab,or lobster and snow crab. Please note only one whole small crab or lobster or snow crab comes in the package. It was our granddaughter 12th birthday! The bathroom weren't clean, water on the floor like a leak. Overall the place was good. Also on the bill, they already had applied of 15%- not cool I was prepared to tip in cash. So out of out separate three order they received 45% tip total. read more

Big spot with plenty of space, and the staff was on top of it. We came early for dinner and got seated right away. Got half a pound of headless shrimp and crawfish, plus added the corn, potato, and egg trio, and threw in some sausage too. Shrimp was kinda small and not the freshest, and my boyfriend said the crawfish shells were tougher to peel than usual. That said, the Captain Mix (mild) flavor was solid, but you gotta dig to the bottom of the bag to get all the seasoning. Otherwise, it's just butter floating on top. We also tried the fried oyster + calamari combo with cajun fries. Everything came out crispy and hot, but the flavor was missing. Even the fries were bland. Ended up dipping everything in the seafood sauce for more flavor. Honestly, I prefer one of their competitors more, but I'm still glad we gave this place a shot. read more

I genuinely enjoy this place! I'm not sure why it has low ratings, because the seafood is consistently good and the prices are hard to beat. My family and I even come here on holidays, and it's always been a great experience. The service is solid, they usually have really good holiday deals, and the space is pretty spacious; seating has never been an issue for us. read more

Food was really good. Hit the spot today. Got volcano spice level. Not spicy at all. 1lb of crawfish and 1lb clams. Flavor was really good. Service was good as well. The reason for 3 stars only was because I was served bad raw oyster. But I did let the waiter know and he took it back. But also the corn was bad as well. So I dont know if they location save old food or not. But I almost got sick. All n all we like the seafood boil flavor and we'll be back. read more

Captain Crab - Cajun wings and fries was fire - Seafood Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This restaurant has been on my bucket list of seafood boil to try and finally made it out here. Took our seafood lover friends here to celebrate his birthday. The restaurant is pretty clean and spacious, lots of open seatings. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeting my a hostess and seated right away. We were greeted my our waiter who was friendly and attentive to our needs. Menu was a wide variety of seafood boil options, appetizers and drinks. We ordered the calamari and 12 piece raw oysters. Calamari had right amount of crunch to it and enough flavors. Can't ever go wrong with oysters! We had the family special deal which we pick the 1 lb dungeness crab legs, shrimp head on and green mussels with medium spice option. Our friends had the captain feast boil, which includes 2 lobster tails, 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb dungeness crab, 1/2 lb headless shrimp, 1/2 lb sausages, 2 eggs, 2 corn, and 2 potatoes woth spicey flavor option. The sauce was a blend of cajun spices that is rich and buttery garlic blends, with a citrus taste. I enjoyed the sauce. My friend told me the spice level was not spicy for the most spicy option but wasn't surprised. Overall, the experience was great. Friendly staff and quick service. Will definitely come back here to try other other options. read more

This was my first time at their lunch time specials. Service was great. Food was timely. The food was hot. HOWEVER, what they call catfish can't be catfish. I can't explain what it tasted like, but it wasn't catfish that I'm used to. The Cajun fries were hot, but they were cooked too hard. I ordered some lemon pepper wings and Cajun fries to go. These fries look harder than the ones that were with the catfish. I wonder if the regular fries are better. A lesson, thoroughly check your food before leaving the restaurant. Don't wait until you get home. These wings look burnt. I get it that this is only $11 plus tax during the lunch special, but dang. So disappointing. I guess I should get the shrimp and rice the next time I try something because the neighboring table seemed to enjoy that combination very much. Or, stick to the two potatoes, one corn, and one cluster of crab in the boil. Ambiance was okay. A couple of songs with undesirable lyrics came on while we were there. The good food part was that my friend enjoyed her oysters and fries. I don't eat oysters, so that wasn't a win for me. read more

We love the king crab there. It's always delicious. You need to try , we get all the spices but mild. Very good!

Came for my mom's birthday. It was surprisingly empty for a Saturday lunch The staff was very patient and cleaned up super quickly as we had an accidental spill probably 15min into sitting down. This has a restaurant ambiance but on the casual side. You're also eating seafood that's very messy so I wouldn't suggest wearing the nicest clothes here because they will get food specks on you. read more

When we arrived, we were greeted with very great attitude. Smile. The service was amazing. The waiter was very attentive. He listened and the food was delicious and it was a great deal after finishing eating. I decided I need to go to the restroom. I literally almost vomited because the restrooms were so disgusting! This is not just toilet paper on the floor. This is not just dirty mirrors. This is months and months of not being sanitized properly cleaning around the toilet bowls cleaning the doors. The stainless steel doors need to be cleaned. I just felt so dirty so nasty once I left the bathroom I could not eat anymore and I wondered how clean the inside of the kitchen was. read more

Captain Crab Elk Grove definitely hits the spot when you want some good seafood. My go-to when I want to enjoy fresh Cajun shrimp boil!!!

Dropped by for the first time. We had dinner on a Saturday evening and this place is awesome! Big clean environment. Fast friendly customer service, and fair pricing. We order 2 lbs of shrimp, fried shrimp and a chicken tender basket. One shrimp bag was lemon pepper and the other was Cajun, both cooked perfectly, no mushiness like other locations. The lemon pepper was great, but the Cajun was different from others. It had a different type of taste, I can't pin point the exact spice. Next time I'll just do lemon pepper. The Cajun fries also tasted different. Overall not a fan of this Cajun spice, but everything else was great. I'll be back. read more

Stopped by Captain Crab with my little family since our birthday boy wanted crab for dinner. We ordered the Dungeness crab, crab cakes, clam chowder, chicken tenders, garlic noodles, & half an order of raw oysters. Everything was so delicious & well seasoned. Service was amazing, and the kiddos enjoyed every bite of their dinner. To top it off, the waiter brought out a slice of sprinkled cheesecake and sang to our 9year old. Forgot our waiters name, but he was super friendly & kept coming back to check on us. A cute waitress name Angel has helped us before. She's very knowledgeable and knows the menu well. Overall, we were 100% happy with our dine in experience, and cannot wait to go back. read more

i've came here a few times to try out and find a new seafood spot and the food is good don't get me wrong but, the service and ambiance on the other hand... everytime we have came in the workers always have a weird, off putting, rude attitude. front desk girls always have us waiting while they finish up what they're doing on their phone to sit us down, or to help with our bill and even gave us the wrong bill once because she was busy on her phone. & not to mention i'll be not even half way through my meal and the bill would already be placed on the table... quick with it.. cool. but i'd like to eat in peace without feeling rushed? maybe the bill being provided after for when im DONE with my meal would be nice.. thanks. meanwhile the ambiance is a bit questionable.. the restrooms are disgusting for a restaurant. lol. stinks, stuff on walls, liquids on the floors? toilets.... even toilet paper outside the restroom .. etc. read more

Captain crab is so delicious. I come to this location often since it is the closest one to where I live. I like the Cajun sauce here in comparison to other Cajun spots in the area. The shrimp is delicious and each boil comes with a potato and corn. I complete my seafood with some garlic noodles, sausage, and steamed rice. They have a variety of appetizers to choose from. The restaurant is clean and it's a great spot to watch sports - there are a lot of TVs. This is also located in a plaza with plenty of parking. read more

Picked up 2 orders of seafood boil. Got snow crab. Shrimp and sausage. Highest level spice. Captain special sauce. Also got crab cake with the sauce. Hush puppies. Seafood was good. I think it could use extra spice. Just a tad more. And more sauce. But all in all it was good. I'd order it again. Crab cakes were decent. I wasn't a big fan of the orange sauce. Hush puppies were good with the tartar. Definitely would come again. Oh one last thing. When I ordered online my total was $154. I selected pay at pick up. When I went inside I was told there's a promo and got it for $134. Would wish this info was presented on the website for future. Glad I chose in person payment. read more

Very happy with our whole experience!!! Clam chowder was fresh and the potatoes in it were not grainy but perfect. Seafood boil hot and fresh!! Server recommended captain special which was good! I love the tons of fresh garlic. However, a customer did ruin our experience by getting hostile and not wanting to pay for their food after eating which apparently is common around this location. But that did not ruin our experience. Will definitely return because of the fresh ingredients used and how hot and consistent everything always is. read more
