Captain Crab - pound of shrimp, lemon pepper fries - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

I came in for a pickup order, and I do want to start by saying the staff was really nice and welcoming. Even though the food wasn't quite ready when I arrived, they were friendly and polite, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't fully deliver. When we got home and opened everything up, we noticed some of the shrimp were starting to turn black, which was concerning. On top of that, a lot of the shrimp was overcooked, and the shells were sticking to the meat, making it pretty frustrating to eat. The oysters were okay, but didn't taste as fresh as I was expecting, especially for a seafood spot. That said, the seasoning and overall flavors had potential, and the service experience was positive. I just wish the quality and execution of the seafood matched it. Hoping this was just an off day, because there's definitely potential here. read more

Tried it for the first time; Tried fish catfish basket and hush puppies. In all honesty, I could taste the same Cajun Spices I buy from Walmart. Not impressed. Will have to try everything else that looks awesome on the Menu. But of course, it all depends on the taste of my palate. read more

I come here quite often and I do really love it. It always hits the spot, I feel like it's a good price as well normally I share the family special with my bestie and it's only $30 something each splitting the bill. I always get the snow crab, green mussels, and shrimp. I also love the clams, I get captains special for the seasoning and its bomb. I always get extra dip on the side too, and the food comes out really fast which I appreciate!! read more

Captain Crab - Loved My Delicious Famous Low Country Boil. Enjoyed Awesome Customer Service From My Server Nelly. Thanks Again & I Shall Return!!! - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

Usually come here but the other day I came in a group of 5. Place was not busy at all and we were seated right away. We sat for 25 minutes and no one came to take our order nothing. Two tables that got seated after us got seen right away. We told the hostess and still nothing happened so we just walked out and left. We ended up going to the Elk Grove location. Service was a lot better. They weren't surprised that the staff were the way they were here. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious, little packed today but worth the wait. The seasoning is so delicious and I love to throw it into some pasta with cream cheese. So good. We order extra sometimes when needed just to make our crab boil pasta read more

As a former manager of a seafood boil restaurant BC. I was very happy with Captain crab last night. The service was excellent. The food was hot and fresh and the restaurant was very clean. The shrimps were nice and firm and my clams were super fresh, the garlic butter, and spice profile were right on point. We will definitely be back. read more

Went here one weekend and it was busy! Fortunately, there was only a couple of minutes wait. This place is popular with families! The food didn't take too long, and our server was very kind. I wish the Cajun fries had a lot more seasoning. We had to ask for a side of seasoning to put on. Also, compared to other seafood boil places I have had, there wasn't as much flavor, but it was still decent. Overall, I would definitely come here again. read more

Captain Crab - Fried Shrimp with Cajun Fries 1 Pound Shrimp and 1 Pound Black Mussels - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

We placed a to-go order at Captain Crab and tried the Dungeness crab in Cajun sauce (extra hot), half pound shrimp in Cajun sauce, onion rings, and crispy Cajun fries. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, but we were disappointed that the shrimp and crab were packed together in the same plastic bag, even though they were meant for two different people. It made the meal messy and less enjoyable. I wish the person taking the order had double checked instead of assuming everything should go in one bag. On top of that, the Cajun sauce was very heavy-handed with butter and oil, which overpowered the seasoning. The sides were solid--both the onion rings and Cajun fries were crispy and satisfying. Still, the packaging and the excess oil left us a little underwhelmed, especially given the price point. That said, the ambience is fun and lively based on our past dine-in experience. Captain Crab has potential, but more attention to detail with takeout preparation and balance in the seasoning would make a big difference. read more

If you need a seafood boil, THIS IS THE SPOT! I have been coming here for the last year now and truly no other seafood boil place compares. There is always a great punch of flavor and spices. Nevertheless, we ordered the Captain Special Boil w/ Captain special flavor & Hot level. It's the perfect amount for 2 people. We also ordered a side of rice and Cajun fries with additional lemon pepper seasoning. BOMB! The food came out pretty quick which was great because I was starving. The whole setup came out at the same time and the temperature to all the food was perfect. We destroyed the seafood boil and only left a couple shrimp in the bag... I would say the shrimp was cooked perfect meanwhile the lobster tail was a bit overcooked. Aside from that, our server was very kind and gave us all the goods to enjoy the meal. Of course I will be coming again! Very affordable, delicious, and service is always great. read more

Upon my first time coming to the restaurant with my daughters, the atmosphere was good vibes. Hostess and servers were very nice and cordial. I'm picky when it comes to crab boil (southern style). Let me tell you, I ordered the crab boil, and it was DELICIOUS and hit a home run for me. Whom ever the owner is I'm touched with all the details you made your restaurant a A++ in my book. I highly will recommend your establishment to my fellow co-workers of over 3K. I will definitely return. read more

Came here for the first time with a couple of regulars, which meant I didn't have to think about what to order, yay for foodie friends! And I'm so glad they knew what to get, because everything was delicious. Now I'll admit... I didn't try the crab (I know, I know, what's wrong with me?) but I just could not get enough of the shrimp and sausage. OMG, the sausage was fire. Spicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I'd go back just for that alone. Our waitress was fantastic, friendly and attentive without being overbearing (aka, my favorite kind of service). I also really appreciated the little touches: tablecloths, bibs, scrap buckets, and wet naps, they know how to keep a messy meal classy. We went on a weekend night and still got seated pretty quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, great experience, great food, and a fun vibe. I'll definitely be back and next time, maybe I'll finally try the crab. read more

This is my regular spot. Flavor is consistent, dungeoness & king crab are thick and full of meat. Snow crab is definitely lacking there, though. The only con is they rarely have enough crackers. Sometimes they'll give only 1 set with scissors per table. Service can be a bit slow, too. I bring my own nitrile gloves cuz the cheap flimsy ones you get just get in the way. read more

It was mine and boyfriend first time here , host was so sweet and sat us right away , menu was straight to the point. Our server Lino was fast , nice and very informative. Our food came out fast , fresh , hot and delicious. Restaurant is clean and has a nice family ambiance, we will definitely be back. read more

We love it here. Great fresh seafood! Captain special hot sauce was perfect for 2! We ordered the special Snow crab shrimp crawfish

Now that there's so many seafood boil spots it's hard to find the best one. I've had the majority ones in the Sacramento area and this is my favorite. They have a nice size parking lot and there is also some street parking. There are tables and booths. They also have a separate area for big parties inside. I went in on the weekday and there was a small wait but I've heard about the wait time on the weekends. The server was really nice and attentive. I ordered M2.Shrimp(No Head)(1/2 LB). I added half pound sausage. I got some sides that were extra sauce, fries, and steamed rice. I love that the extra sauce does not come in the bag. They serve it on the side. The rice was yummy especially when adding the sauce. I got the "Hot" and it had a real nice kick to it. My flavor of choice was the captain special that has everything in it. The sausages had a real good smoked taste. The fries were cruntchy as well. Overall all my food was great. The prices are more reasonable than other seafood boil places in Sacramento. I'm already wondering when I'll be back. Oh! Also FYI. They have a killer lunch special too. read more

Nevertheless, Satisfied my crab cravings. Clean ambiance. A little loud though. Nice to see that they have lots of doordash and uber eats pick ups. read more

Shout to our server Lino. End of the night and received fire service. Calamari was fire and the king boil was excellent.

Food was great, service was great, the restaurant inside was way bigger than I thought it would be. the raw oysters were delicious and our favorite and the onion rings were very crunchy and didn't get soggy or cold quick. We did the family deluxe combo and added the sausage. The price was great for everything we received. We will 110% be back soon. The restaurant and bathroom was also very clean. I forgot to take a pic of our seafood boil lol. read more

Captain Crab - M3.Snow Crab Legs(1/2 LB) M9.Black Mussel(1/2 LB) - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place was so good, I wish there was one closer to the bay! We came here on a Friday around 1 and it was crowded! We were able to get seated right away though as the place is fairly big and can accommodate a decent amount of tables. The lunch special is such a good deal. We got 2 bags of shrimp (3/4lb each), fried crawfish, rice, and the fried catfish basket and our total only came out to about $50. The only thing that would make this place even better is if they had garlic noodles! I think the only area of improvement would be the service! While our waitress was friendly, she wasn't super attentive and our food did take a little while to come out. We also noticed the other waitress didn't really check in on the table next to us either, they had to get up and approach our waitress to ask for bibs and gloves. read more

We have been repeat customers at this location for months, which makes this experience even more disappointing. We were seated quickly, but then left waiting for an extended period with no acknowledgment. During that time, we watched staff clean nearby tables and seat other guests who arrived after us--those guests were served drinks and given utensils while we were completely overlooked. After waiting, I asked if we had a server assigned, and was told that a manager would come assist us after finishing with a large party. Meanwhile, several employees appeared available but made no effort to check on or assist us. It took over 30 minutes for someone to finally take our drink order. At that point, we asked to speak with a manager, only to be met with confusion, as no one seemed to know who the manager was. Additionally, when I asked a young hispanic female employee for help, she appeared more focused on counting her tips than assisting a customer. The level of service we received was unacceptable. It is extremely frustrating to be treated as though we were an inconvenience simply for asking for basic service like drinks and placing an order. Being ignored while others were served ahead of us was both disrespectful and disorganized. This experience was incredibly disappointing, and unless something changes, we will not be returning.The manager name on duty was Brandy. Her team needs to help her more as the restaurant can not run with her alone and that needs to be communicated. Employees seem very lazy. read more

Love this place! We got the shrimp with head on and it's not over cooked. Snow and king crab are huge! Will come again.

SERVICE: table side AMBIANCE: clean and open FLAVORS: Crab cakes (2/5) - its crispy and hot, but that's about all I could say Shrimp, no heads,1 lb in house sauce (3/5) - almost didn't taste like anything, really have to scrape under the oil for the garlic and spices, even then it was kind of one note? Still it was hot and fresh. PORTIONS: filling and hearty, the corn and potatoes come with the order PRICE: appropriate BONUS TIP: parking is private around back and entrance is facing highway read more

Had a great experience having dinner with a group here! Service was relatively fast & friendly. I ordered a pound of head-on shrimp, with captain special seasoning, & mild spice. It came with lemon and it was delicious! I've had seafood boil countless times but I've surprisingly never had lemon served with it! It perfectly complemented the seafood. The dish had the perfect flavor & level of spice for me. Food came out hot and yummy. I also ordered the cajun fries to share and they were quite yummy. The flavor wasn't the strongest but I still enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they did have a mixup with a friend's order. They substituted one of the items in their order but it was still served to them. When they notified the server, they took the bag back and my friends had to wait a while before they received the replacement. It was a bit of a wait considering everyone else already received their food. Overall I really enjoyed eating here and will be back! read more

Service was lacking - we put our name down and asked if they would be able to text us which they said yes. They said the wait would be 15-20 mins but after 40 mins of not getting a text we went inside and the lady immediately said we called you guys and you didn't show to which I explained that they were suppose to text us. Then she said maybe it was the wrong number, they did accommodate us by seating us next. At the table our server came and dropped waters off and immediately his iPad died so he left and didn't come back for another 10 mins. The food itself was really good maybe a bit to salty. read more

Captain Crab exceeded our expectations with both their food and service. We ordered the Captain Special Boil and added a few other items to round out the meal. Every single dish was cooked to perfection--flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The boil was packed with generous portions and seasoned just right, making it the highlight of our dining experience. On top of the amazing food, the service was exceptional. Our server stayed on top of our order, checked in at the right times, and delivered everything quickly without missing a beat. It made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. read more
