    capt greg had great crabs now someone else is cooking crabs and running the operation. the crabs…read morewere horrible. I bought 2 dozen #1 males. They were full of water. When you pulled off a claw, water ran out of the shell. The meat was watery and terrible. Don't waste your money. Heads up, you are supposed to steam crabs not boil them in water.These people do not know how to cook crabs.

    I have been a fan of Captain Greg's for quite some time. I have even referred quite a few people…read morethere over the years. They usually don't disappoint with the size of the crab, and the flavor of the crab used to be on point. They have been in Mechanicsville for years. The last couple of times I visited left me questioning my loyalty. I have been trying a couple of places in the area, and maybe I'm particular about crab and how it's prepared. When I buy anything, regardless of what it is, customer service can ruin the experience. I purchased crabs from here a couple of weeks ago and the lady at the register refused to put the crab seasoning on the crabs (I thought that was the idea). I hate a bland crab! I have tried Crab's, crab boils, sauteed crabs, steamed crabs etc... Yes size does matter, but not if they are bland. During the second visit, I was happy the owner was present ( he's nicer). He tried to accommodate me, however I requested female crabs (my preference) and when I arrived home I had male Crab's. Yes ! They were nice and meaty, but tasted like rubber. I was so disappointed, and upset, but at this point I was over it. It's a shame because I had been hankering some Crab's and 3 day's later, I still have the Crabs. I tried to doctor them up but, no bueno! I have purchased Crab's from places I didn't expect to like, and they were better than Captain Greg's! I don't think I will be returning, but I guess I'm particular.

    Super clean , quick service, always fresh! I love the customer service everytime I come here. I…read morenever have an issue with parking. The inside is very clean.

    DO NOT COME HERE. I…read morepurchased a 1/2 bushel of crabs from this establishment, and unfortunately, many of the crabs were mostly legs and mushy. I contacted Tim regarding the issue, and he told me that I could come back to the store and they would credit me a few dozen crabs. While I knew that a few dozen would not fully compensate me for the quality of the 1/2 bushel I purchased, I was willing to accept it as a resolution. I called Tim less than an hour before coming to the store, and he specifically told me that I was good to go. When I arrived, however, the woman working there told me there was nothing she could do and that she would not take care of the situation. I have spent hundreds of dollars at this establishment, so to be treated this way as a returning customer is extremely disappointing and unacceptable. What made the situation even worse was that Tim then claimed he thought I was the person he had spoken to a few weeks ago--despite the fact that we had spoken less than an hour earlier about this exact issue. This was not only a disappointing product experience, but also a terrible customer service experience. If a manager makes a commitment to a customer, the store should honor it. I should not have to come into the store and argue with an employee over a resolution that was already discussed and approved. Horrible service, poor communication, and unacceptable attitudes. I will not be returning.

    We've gone several years and look forward to it every year. It's a small festival in a neighborhood…read moresetting and the crowd is pretty chill, so it's great for families. The food is fantastic - especially if you're an oyster fanatic (like me). They have Rappahannock oysters served raw, steamed, fried, and in oyster po' boys. There are brats, fries, hushpuppies, and a hot dog kids meal (for those who don't partake). Speaking of kids, there's a fenced area with bounce houses and slides so my kids spent most of the day wearing themselves out which works out great for me. There's also a bike valet area, so a good number of people ride there, check their bike in, and avoid having to find parking. There's a good variety of craft beer, macro beer, wine, and water/sodas - so pretty much something for everyone. The music varies - usually they have bluegrass early in the day, then it gets more rock and roll later on.

    This year, the Oystoberfest was held in the Historic Ginter Park on the grounds of an Episcopal…read morechurch. There was ample parking in a parking area of another church don the street, street parking availability (although there was some terrible street parking going on, nose to nose instead of nose to tail.. ), and more parking across the street. Sidewalks made it easoer for people to walk over, families came together, friends met up. Admission is free but a siggested $2.00 was given to the food bank's fund. I went and got 20 tickets, a dollar a piece. I immediately went to the oyster tent and ordered a dozen steamed oysters. Succulent and fresh, it was perfection as it melted in my mouth. Children played in leaf piles and moon bounces, there were beer tents throughout, a love music crew who looked pretty young but were rockin' out the crowd like a boss. Another good thing coming to many festivals recently is the ability use your credit card to purchase either items or tickets. This festival also provided bike valet!! Inside a huge tent, ample ample tables and chairs set up for people to sit and eat and more tables and chairs under the sun. A lot of people brought their pets. Joy and laughter, much eating and definitely full bellies made this event a 5 star event! Can't wait fo next year!
