The restaurant was not busy at all. We waited maybe a few minutes to be seated. The restaurant is decorated really neat. Our party was of 10 people, We ordered and our food arrived fairly quickly. I've tried many seafood restaurants in Washington. I was very disappointed at the flavor here. And Washington they serve a little cup of seasoning and some lemon wedges which sometimes you don't even need to use because of all the flavor. Here I had to ask for lemon wedges because I needed flavor. The server checked on us once towards the end of our meal when several people in our party had been waiting for drink refills. One person in our party did have water luckily they left pictures a few tables away so he was just able to refill his own water. Mind you after six tip is automatically included, which leads me to believe that this is why the server did not check on our table because he knew he was gonna get tipped regardless. The time mind you was $70 which is unacceptable for only checking taking our order and checking on us 1 times with an almost empty restaurant. read more

Love this place. Atmosphere, Service and Food all are excellent and we will be back Love the Fish Boils, the Green Mussels are amazing in size and flavor we usually go for lunch. read more

Great food and friendly staff and pretty good prices. I hope they add lobster rolls to the menu soon.

We had a very good meal with appetizers for an excellent price. The fried foods were very well fried, crispy and not greasy. The boil was tasty and well seasoned. The raw gulf oysters were quite fresh. The entire meal for four people with regular drinks was under $110.00 which I think is a bargain for Fort Collins. read more

Hi I loved the pictures and paintings and figures. But I have to say not trying to be mean but the kids pasta tasted like dough bad bad dough.ps the server couldn't understand us he definitely speaks Spanish if you're Spanish you should definitely come here read more

Prob some of the most tasteless seafood I've ever had. I am from the east coast so I could be biased, but it was just some very oily sauce with a bunch of barely cooked garlic for seasoning. Also, the place is riddled with tacky AI artwork that makes it feel even more fake. The server was nice but the food and atmosphere is just not good. read more

Really enjoy the boils! Great food and fun ambiance. I hope this place stays in FTCO. X-Spicy!

The food here is great! However our experience here was very soured in Valentine's Day. We called a week before to make a reservation, however they would not let us make one and insisted we could walk in and be seated. Naturally when we got there on Valentine's Day, it was packed shoulder to shoulder with a minimum hour wait. We ended up leaving and eating fast food that night. VERY unprofessional and rude, and not how a business should be run. What a bummer. read more

The amount of food that you get is amazing. I got the shrimp (head off) and the black mussels with added Sausage. The only downside I think is there wasn't enough juice in the bag but other than that. Amazing. My wife got the chicken tender salad with Cajun fries. The was service was excellent because it wasn't that busy. The ambiance was alright, good music, you get a pirate ship vibe. Overall you definitely get a bang for your buck with good food. Another downside is there's no lunch special on the weekends. read more

The food was great and so was the service. The decor make this cool place, highly recommend for a night out!

Food was very good. I love that they offer seafood boils and fried fish baskets. Both were yummy and the decor of the restaurant is fun and quirky. My one complaint is the service. It was poor and needs improvement. read more

I went for the fried oysters, bad job by the cook , Half were almost raw the other half were rubber bands. Service was also poor,never had anyone come back until I called them.The server asked how my meal was and I told him, he offered no way to fix it, bad business model. read more

Service was great and everything tasted good, there was just too little of it! Our seafood boil bag only contained one small corn and two small potatoes (which is not an anomaly, that's what's listed on the menu). It's not a good amount of food for the price you pay. Our bag was literally filled with hot air. It was puffed up like a balloon, and our waiter couldn't explain why. They also don't have a liquor license still, so don't count on getting cocktails with your seafood. read more

I'm here to cheer for a new restaurant opening, yet also aware some owners may be working out a few kinks. Per the mixed reviews, we decided to make a take out order and ask everything to be cooked to crispy/well done. We normally order our hot wings and fish from other places; so it's not out of the norm for us to ask. We got catfish, hush puppies, and fries. The catfish wasn't necessarily cooked to "well done", but was safe and tasty to eat. The catfish batter was meh- but the house sauce made it all worthwhile. The battered fries were tasty and no one can ever serve me a bad hush puppy. All still hot and freshly made once we got home - less than 10 minutes away. We appreciated seeing catfish on the menu as it's not easy to find at grocery stores/restaurants here in Fort Collins. We'll be back to try more of the menu! Cheers! read more

Captain Hook Seafood was a pleasant surprise. The shrimp basket was just the right portion and the size of shrimp was worth the price. Unlike the dize you get from franchise place. The flounder basket and cat fish platters were also perfect sized and lightly battered which was nice. The combo dinner was Nicky seasoned and very tasteful and the prices were what you would expect. The only two issues was the fish was not fried to a brown and the language barrier was an issue when asking questions about the products. Overall a good place for seafood. read more

Great service, hokey ambiance, mediocre food with limited non-fried menu. Fried oysters were good to see and without the spicy sauce were decent. The service and the fact that we're no where close to an ocean let it stat at 3 stars. read more

Our boils were yummy I got spicy(all in no jalapeño) cause that what I love I got the shrimp and mussels boil and he got the low country boil medium (all in as well) for him. It did have a bit too much garlic & lemon but the taste over all was great. We personally love boils and seafood. They have cool pictures and other things. Service was good & busy. read more

We had heard mixed reviews on this new seafood place, so thought we'd check it out for ourselves. We were there with another couple who had similar experience. Our experience was really quite disappointing. For the two of us we ordered a bowl of clam chowder and the shrimp & clams boil in garlic butter sauce. The clam chowder was actually good, best part of our meal. Flavorful, creamy New England style clam chowder with clams in shell in the broth. Not the best, but we'd have to go to New England for that. The boil had plenty of shrimp and clams, and we really liked the garlic butter sauce (despite others who might question that choice). The shrimp were headless and nicely sized, but not peeled and more than a bit overcooked. The clams were plentiful but none larger than my thumbnail and again overdone. Potatoes were good but the piece of corn on the cob was mush. We asked for bread to sop up some of the extra sauce - they have NO BREAD, only saltine crackers in small packets that are nigh on impossible to open with greasy fingers. Had hoped for a beer with dinner, but alas, no alcohol. Maybe they're still waiting on their liquor license. The former BBQ joint turned Captain Hooks is nicely decorated, but exceptionally loud considering there were only a handful of tables occupied while we were there. Wait staff were attentive and helpful where they could, but don't seem to have assigned tables so we seemed to have a different person every time someone came by. Not bad, just not consistent and they didn't relay messages to each other so we had to remind the latest one we wanted separate checks by couple. Worth trying once, probably not for us... read more

Seafood was some of the best we've had in a long time, service excellent and really neat decor, if we lived down here we would frequent this place often, we had clam chowder soup, lunch shrimp basket and fish (flounder) basket all entrees were great read more

I'd give this place a 3.5 if the .5 was an option. To be clear let's start out by saying. The place is called CAPTAIN HOOK SEAFOOD. I did not and nor should you expect "fine dining". Kind of a fun novelty "theme" restaurant. Where all they serve is seafood. There's a "chicken basket" on the menu. And not a green vegetable in the building. I had a seafood boil of shrimp and muscles any my wife had a FRIED SHRIMP BASKET. The shrimp basket was actually decent. Plenty of shrimp. And a good amount of sweet potato fries. The dipping sauce for the shrimp was really good too. For $16 I think it is a good deal. The BOIL comes advertised with 20 oz of seafood, 2 potatoes and corn. I'll clarify this by saying it's about 1/3 of a corn Cob and 2 potatoes the size of grapes. Do this with your hand that big. A decent amount of shrimp and the muscles were mediocre. I'd say there were 12 and 4 of them were empty. Now when you buy 20oz that includes the shell which weighs more than the meat on the inside. So as far as that goes. There were hardly any. This meal would have been great with a side of rice or pasta. OR maybe an entire corn cob and 8-10 of those potatoes. Would have made the value a little better for sure. As far as taste. It was good. All seemed fresh. Would I go again? Probably not. If a friend wanted to go I wouldn't say NO.... I just wouldn't go on my own volition. Would I recommend it? Sure. 3.5 stars read more

In response to the very first review - who goes to a boil joint and orders butter sauce? Nobody. I ordered the shrimp boil with spicy Cajun sauce and it was delicious with potatoes and corn on the cob. Really nice portion. I couldn't finish it and had to box up the remaining eight prawns. I would have given the meal 4 stars, but they don't have beer just yet as they're awaiting approval on the liquor license. Beer is a critical ingredient with any boil. Once they have beer, 4 stars all day long. Small piece of advice for management - forget about the napkin dispensers on tables. Go paper towels. I'll be back when you have brewskis! read more

Great food, great service, very reasonably priced. Large, roomy bar and dining room. read more

Large portions. Fried oysters were mostly breading. Catfish, shrimp and sweet potato fries were good. Service was mediocre had to request numerous times. Decor was interesting. read more

The atmosphere was lively it had a pirate ship in the middle of the dining room. I think it's the black pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp was standing guard at the front door. The food itself was very flavorful and didn't take long to receive after we ordered a sweet potato fries were really good so was the shrimp basket and I had a piece of flounder from my friend that had the fish basket and that was also very good. read more

We went at lunch time and the place was empty. Fast service. Had a shrimp and crab boil. Both were so good. The shrimp was really big and probably the best shrimp around land locked states. read more

Absolutely fantastic fusion of low country cuisine and Japanese flavors. Huge chunks of garlic, robust with good amount of heat and a subtle sweetness you don't get with traditional boils. Sort of unassuming for a seafood place in Northern Colorado, but this place is absolute fire read more

Food was off for sure. When we told the server about the shrimptasting funny,, we were told that it's cooked the same as always, so no refund. Gotcha.....sadly we all were sick by the time we got home from our meal. Do not recommend to anyone. read more

It was just okay. I was so hoping that it would be better. I really like the decor and the coziness of the restaurant. It might be partially the language barrier, but the staff was not that friendly. The shrimp & flounder baskets were fine, but they need to offer coleslaw or a side salad to cut all the grease from the fried fish & French fries. Give half the fries & a small container of Cole slaw-it would help a lot! The cheap napkins & the way they bring the forks in a little wooden box, I didn't like. I just can't figure out why Fort Collins has very few good, quality restaurants. It's disappointing for Northern Colorado. read more

The Seafood is amazing with a reasonable price! Impressive presentation of the boiled crustaceans. Very large portions regardless of whether you're there for lunch or dinner. My favs so far are the fried shrimp and dungeness crab boil. Everything is prepared to order and comes to your table piping hot and delicious! I've been there five times already and it's always equally, consistently amazing! The atmosphere is so intense that it sparks your imagination. read more

We went for Mother's Day. The calimari was not the best but everything was very good. We would come back for sure. I understand we all have language barriers but it was hard to understand our waiter. read more

Catfish was not good...at all. Cannot comment on the rest of the menu. Looked like most everyone else was having the crab boil.

Waited ~ 15 minutes on a busy Saturday night to be seated. Restaurant looks like they are getting things up and running and not completely finished. Ambience is a nautical motif consistent with the name. Fake fish and sharks on the walls and wooden tables and booths some with heave metal chains potentially to replicate ship riggings. Food was served fast and hot. We ordered Cajun medium spiced captains boil and fried flounder . Flounder was good but plain the boil was really tasty. Service was excellent. read more

Nothing special. Tastes very processed. Quick service with fair prices. Very clean interior and bathrooms. read more

We started with the hush puppies and they were good. I had the shrimp boil with cajun seasoning and ordered it extra spicy. It came out piping hot and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the fried catfish & fries and didn't like it as it lacked flavor. The service was great and the ambience was as expected, casual. It was a good value based on the type of food, quantity and quality. read more

They still don't have their liquor license... we have been lied to multiple times from staff on when they would be acquiring said license. They have no concept of serving customers... The people they do have working there are not all English speaking which in itself is not a big deal but the fact that none of them are actual servers that understand the hospitality space is a problem. I would recommend staying away from this place for sure. read more

Loved our first time there, so excited to have fresh seafood in the area. Super face and nice servers, restaurant is open and spacious! I told all my friends, will be back!!!! read more

We were so impressed with the quality of the seafood. We had shrimp and catfish baskets both with large portions. The food came out hot, which we so appreciate. We will return very soon. read more
