Platter trio (grouper, shrimp, oysters) with a baked potato and greens
Stephanie B.

Enjoyed a late Sunday lunch a while back here. Service was hit or miss. Considering the restaurant was half empty the food time was extremely slow. Regardless it all came out hot and pretty good for the most part. I will say most items were over salted. The crab balls were the star of the show. If anything I would go back just for them!

Sweet potato
Anthony V.

Nice little restaurant in King William Co. Went there for and early dinner and was seated right away. I ordered the fried shrimp which were a good size and breaded just right. The sweet potato was large, but under cooked. The center was a little hard. Overall the food and service were good

Fried whiting lunch
Tee B.

Just go!!!! The best fried fish, shrimp, slaw and tartar sauce ever, lol! The waitress was nice but busy so not very personable. We ordered the lunch jumbo shrimp with fries and fried whiting with baked potato which comes with hush puppies and slaw, both dishes were very fresh, well seasoned and piping hot 10/5! I cannot wait to try something else! The fish was so good I ordered one to take to my daughter ( her side was the potato salad, yummy)...there was a long wait for my (they were busy, kitchen staff seemed limited but they eventually got my order out) but it was well worth the wait that fish was so so good! The venue was nothing grand but it was clean and welcoming! If you feel like taking a short drive for some amazing food, go!!!

Our table

The food here was delicious. I loved every bite. They brought out homemade chips and dip to start. I'm glad we got those. They are great. Then they brought out our drinks. I got a beer. I drank from the bottle. I'm not that good drinking out of the bottle. Next time I'll ask for a glass. The place is large and enough windows to be pleasantly bright. Besides tables inside there is a small counter area with about four chairs. And they have some tables on an outdoor patio. We came at lunch time, but we ordered for dinner because we knew we were hungry. I was looking forward to soft shell crabs. Lunch item would have been a soft shell crab sandwich. I wanted more. Dinner was two soft shell crabs on a plate with choice of sides. Side choices are mostly potatoes. Mashed, fried, tots. There was a choice of coleslaw. I got sweet potato tots and deviled eggs. All very tasty. Spouse got dinner portion of fried shrimp, coleslaw and regular tater tots. The plates were filled with great food. Yes, we had leftovers. The restaurant was full but stayed quiet. I guess we were all busy enjoying the fabulous food. Service was excellent. They were there when you needed something but not over bearing.

She crab soup
Michele L.

This place has been on the top of my list to try for years and it did not disappoint! It's a cute little family owned restaurant that you'd pass by if you didn't know it was there. It was busy when we got there but we were still seated right away. They give you chips to snack on while you wait for your food and they were delicious! They had so many specials to choose from too. I got the seafood carbonara and my fiance got the Western burger without the onion rings. I had ordered the calamari but they were out so instead had the pretzels with beer cheese. The she crab soup had a little kick but not too spicy and was so flavorful! The portions were huge! I ate about 1/4 of my pasta if that plus 1/3 of the soup before I had to take it home. I didn't even touch the salad so that came home too. My best friend got the stuffed shrimp. Everything was so good. I wish I had room for dessert because there were so many good options! We'll definitely be back!!

drove in from Richmond (approx. 40 minutes) just to try this place, and couldn't have been happier! amazing amazing food, great service and all around a lovely meal! Everything we tried was delicious. bonus points for the homemade chips they give you at the beginning of the meal-sooo good! can't wait to come back again and again!!

Cajun Pasta with Chicken and a taste of heaven!
Mike W.

Wow this is a nice hidden gem! The atmosphere is amazing! Resturaunt is clean and roomy and kid friendly!! The portions for the plates are very good size! If you leave hungry then it is your own fault! The hush puppies are the bomb! The chicken tenders are the best I've ever seen! The Cajun Pasta is perfection with chicken! Prices are very good! The sweet tea is southern perfection! After your done hit Jo Jos Fishing store next door and get some fishing poles at a great price! Support the small businesses!

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.
