Both the ambience and service was great, especially after they had remodeled the restaurant from being a Red Lobster restaurant. Food was delicious, but small portions on the vegetables, and the so-called grilled scallops didn't appear to be grilled at all, but they were delicious. Didn't feel that I got the bang for the buck so to speak, but I didn't have to pay since it was my birthday celebration. Their fried fish baskets looked appetizing and reason read more

Food quality: great price and combinations to choose from. First time I had lobster and it was chewy and overcooked! Service: our serve was wonderful and attentive. Atmosphere: relaxed and casual Overall experience: great, would come again! Notes: prepare to be messy if you get seafood boil. read more

This area was in need of a seafood boil place! It's definitely a little pricey, but it's worth it if a boil is what you're craving. I like that they have set combos and the option to customize your own boil. Service is quick and the nautical theme of the restaurant is very cute. Our boil had Corn, Potatoes, Headless Shrimp, Crawfish, Squid, Mussels, Lobster Tail, and Snow Crab Clusters. Yum! read more

The Captain Crab - Fries, cajun garlic butter on the side, lemons, & our seafood boil. - Seafood Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

First timers: No wait time to be seated. Our server was very helpful and informative with how it worked and the menu. Menu is overwhelming with options. We couldn't decide what the best option would be for the 3 of us. The restaurant was quiet, had TVs to watch and typical people conversations. Cajun garlic chicken fried rice is a must. read more

First time here and I got takeout. They were super kind enough to bring it to my car. Although hough they weren't able have the shrimp cocktail to go. A really nice array of options. The catfish was pretty good. The french fries were a bit soggy. The cod was pretty typical.Nothing to write home about. And am waiting to dig into the rest of it and will post a more thorough assessment later. read more

The Captain Crab - Catfish and french fries. - Seafood Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

Food: we got the king crab combo among other things and it was fantastic. More than enough for two people and the flavor of the sauces were amazing. They served it with actual scissors , crackers, gloves and a bib. Some places don't provide enough tools to get into your seafood. They also served it in a dish instead of dumping it across the table which preserves flavor and reduces the mess. Staff: We were greeted with kind friendly smiles immediately, followed by another staff member walking by our table letting us know someone would be by shortly and thanking us for coming in. Our server, Jurnee, was the best. Polite, smart and remembered every detail down to the lemon in my beer (which most servers forget). Value/Cost: this meal for 3 people total (including food items I haven't mentioned) would have been $400+ anywhere else. Don't waste your time on rusty old "The Crabpot" in Seattle, go here! read more

The good: interior is nicely redone, our wait staff Joseph was pleasant and prompt. Not so good: the menu is deceptively structured in the seafood boil section with lots of add/ons that drive the price way up. The bad: one order of noodles that should have had a spice level of 1 was spicier. My sausage noodles were correctly spiced but gummy. At our table in addition 2 glasses of wine, 1 beer. Total tab including tip was $157. Not a $157 value. read more

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. I was an employee at The Captain Crab and all I have to say is I don't know how this place is even open still. I have witnessed a disgusting amount of racism/ discrimination in that restaurant than I'd like to admit. The manager Jennifer is the reason a lot of new hires never stay. There's absolutely NO HR, the manager Jennifer would take naps for hours in the back, and not once in the 7+ months of working there have I ever seen a clean towel for the sanitation buckets. Oh and on top of that, the same towels we wiped the tables with? They use to wipe the silverware too. The cooks dropped a shrimp on the ground? They put it in the boil anyways because they won't waste anything. Disgusting manager (Jennifer and anyone who says they're a higher up), an unfathomable amount of corrupt health code violations, and toxic work conditions. If I could persuade anyone about anything, it's to not even dine here nor apply. They don't deserve it. read more

The food is great. Service is OK. The atmosphere is all right a little on the dark side needs to be a little brighter. Pricing is a little steep for the amount of food you get either lower the price or give a little bit more food read more

A friend and I had lunch here yesterday and we were so impressed. First of all, they have a wonderful lunch menu with several reasonably priced options. I selected the coconut shrimp and my friend had the fish and chips. Both of us had more than enough for lunch and took home the leftovers. The shrimp was delicious with just the right amount of breading. It was also served with a side salad. The fish and chips were plentiful, lightly breaded and served with a side salad. Our sweet server was friendly and attentive. She even brought us ice cream for dessert since we were both celebrating our birthdays. I would definitely return. Also, parking is easy with several disabled spots. read more

Fried Catfish is hard to find in the Northwest, and I was happy to see The Captain Crab had it. It was pretty good, but I wish they had a blackened option. Also, this is the ONLY restaurant I've ever been to that serves fish and chips, that didn't have Malt Vinegar available. That's a fail in my book. Also, the "bowl" of chowder is overpriced for the amount you get. I can get double that amount of Ivar's on the Ferry for only $10.00. read more

I hate to leave a one star review but after a much hyped up recommendation and being let down I can't help it. We spontaneously decided to try this location after friends told us the food was amazing. The ambiance inside is very fun and I love the projectors projecting fish on the floor and the blue lights make it a very fun and family friendly feeling environment- which was about the only enjoyable aspect of the evening. Our server, bless them, seemed to not know anything on the menu or even what kind of tea is available if any at all, I had to settle for hot water and lemon. We ordered the grilled scallops and a crab boil. The scallops seemed steamed and not grilled at all, floating on a tray of butter and garlic, as appetizing as it sounded it definitely needed help, the scallops were very very mushy and felt like they were frozen for a long time, why was there a market price I have no idea. The crab and shrimp were the most disappointing as they were impossible to remove from their shells and the meat would have to be ripped off the shells even after cracking or cutting. Low quality and frozen product and extra over priced for us. Will not return. read more

The price's are absurdly high. My alcoholic beverage was a little too weak, I'd like a slightly heavier pour on the alcohol. My friends both ordered the Strawberry Lemonade, which tasted very watered down. The decor was pleasant. The service was average, which is to say decent. The food was good, but I'm not a seafood expert by any means. Overall I'd give this place a 4/10. If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, I'd consider checking it out - but keep your expectations mid-low. read more

I got raw oysters. Came out with cut up lime and a bottle of Tabasco sauce right in the middle, first time I seen that. Lol. It's not like the CrabPot....you need to pay extra for any kind of seasoning or you get straight just steamed food. Highly recommended that you bring your own Old Bay seasoning. Ha! read more

We had virgin pirate booty which has a cute name but taste like syrup. My friends had mango lemonade and strawberry lemonade and it was tasteless for them. The Rangoon was yummy but everything else was horrible. Fish and chips taste like grease, catfish was eh. They took forever to ask what we would like. We were ready to order and she finally comes by and says she will bring us water. ....the boiled veges like corn etc. had no salt or butter... really disappointed read more

Could not afford a second on my house to get the appetizers. Nickleback called, they want thiet CD back. Way too expensive, give my Red Lobster back. The lobster tank has been replaced with Captain Jack. The decor is straight out of pick- a- part, the Asian selection. Seats are designed for high turnover. read more

Wow. I had a couple of friends tell me this place was good but it took a while to make it in for dinner. So glad that I did. The seafood is incredible. Service was great. Price was reasonable for good seafood. Restaurant was packed (I see why) and all around a great dining experience. We will be back. read more

Worst place I've ever been too Food is over priced 1$ for lemon? Crazy! This is the second time we have been here and the first time we witnessed our server getting yelled by Jenifer I believe her name was this morning it was slow and the food was gross made me sick. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Seriously my favorite place to eat on special occasions! I crave this every day and have gone monthly since I discovered it and I live over an hour away. Love this place read more

The Captain Crab - Seafood boil - Seafood Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

$50, 2 small potatoes, 2 small corn, shrimp that hasn't been cleaned. No bread is served, dinner salad is head lettuce, a sprinkle of carrots and 1 tablespoon of purple cabbage. I ordered chicken fried rice without onion, guess what, it had onion in it, and then the back cook comes to my table questioning if I ordered it without onion - what a mess! I will not be back and doubtful this restaurant will be here in a year. read more

The Captain Crab - $50 worth of seafood - Seafood Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

Didn't take pics but went there for lunch today. Did a nice job on refresh. The bad was strong smell of cigarette smoke when entering cause an employee was smoking at entrance and another when exiting. We both got the fish and chips and thought was a very reasonable price for what we received. 3 pieces of cod for 15 seems like good price. Some things think they could do better is have salt and pepper shakers at table since food was very under seasoned. Also the ice tea should come with lemon or be asked if want. Service was good if a little slow. read more

Our server was excellent. She was available whenever we needed anything. We got the King Crab-Lobster-Snow Crab -Muscles and shrimp. It was really good. I ordered a Watermelon Margarita and it was also good. read more

Good Food! Needs little forks for digging out the crab. Other salad dressings options would be nice

Service was great, the staff is very eager to please. We ordered Snow Crab, 3 Lobster tails, steak & Coconut shrimp The Crab was salty, lobster was fine but not great, coconut shrimp from Cisco The corn was way over cooked No knives, no crab forks, margarine not butter The atmosphere is very aquatic burger king There trying, to be fair I'm an east coaster and grew up with fresh seafood The prices were very fair, just not up to my expectations, which are always too high read more

The food is always amazing, I love the energy of the servers they always seem happy, the ambiance is what you expect of a seafood restaurant! The food is spicy if you don't like spice but they have a non spice option and they have a lot of options and I have never had a food I didn't like! read more

The Captain Crab - This is the shrimp noodles! - Seafood Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

The customer service here is really good. Our waitress was on it from the very beginning and very attentive throughout our time there. We had the crawfish boil and tried the fried calamari and the fried oysters. All of it was delicious. The crawfish stole the show though. It was so good and the seasonings were wonderful. The ranch for the fried oysters and the fried calamari was delicious and so was the batter they were fried in. We can't wait to go back. 5 stars for sure. read more

We went for lunch and everything was excellent. My husband had the fried catfish basket, and I had the fried shrimp basket. We will definitely be back and plan to bring my FIL, a seafood lover. Even the hush puppies were spot on. read more

The front staff had absolutely no idea what contained gluten in their menu or what gluten even was. A front staff member went back to ask the cook and they said they had absolutely nothing gluten free. What a shame. I was really looking forward to trying it. I would recommend a back staff manager go through the menu to see what does or does not include gluten and then inform the front staff. read more

We tried out Captain Crab last night. I had Dungeness crab, my husband had mussels and squid. We enjoyed it very much! I got the biggest dish of drawn butter I've ever seen! Loved it! It only cost us $46 for the two of us. Ignore those bad reviews! We will be back! read more

The food was mediocre at best. The staff and atmosphere was blah. The price however was incredibly insane. They charged nearly $200 for what you would pay maybe $50 at your average Joe's Crab Shack, but at Joe's Crab Shack the food is better, the staff is friendlier, and the atmosphere is funner. This place was a huge disappointment and the stupid robot waiter was retarded. Do not waste your money here!! read more

The service and atmosphere is nice and inviting. The new decor sets a high standard. Unfortunately the food and prices missed the mark. I got the captain mix which is essentially all their flavors in one, but I did not taste anything but butter. Prices are on the upper end with charges like a $1 for a lemon and $5 for extra seasoning. If you've tried pier 88, this is 4 steps down. Don't go there and save your money. read more

My wife and I went here Oct 3rd and got fried squid rings, crayfish, and fried oysters. The fried squid rings had the appearance of onion rings with a nice batter but they felt a tad overcooked (little rubbery) but they were still pretty good. The oysters where breaded and fried and were also good but I am not a big connoisseur of oysters and would have preferred Rockefeller ;) The Crayfish were legit 10/10. We got the #1 level seasoning on the crayfish which was good (we will go for #2 next time for more spice). The fries were ok. It appears that they have their "boil" down pretty well and I will be going back. read more

The boil was delicious and fun to eat. Would highly recommend! A little expensive but worth the price.

The service was great, and the food came fast and tasted good. The portion size was small for the price. I got the salmon which came in 2 small pieces with grilled vegetables. I also ordered potatoes on the side. read more

I ordered a crab salad. Sounded so good! When it came, it was stringy imitation crab on a bed of lettuce. Disappointing and tasteless. What a sad experience read more

Great service, crab boil was perfect friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the Silverdale location.

The food is decent, the prices are wacked. Nickel and dimed for condiments and side like butter, ketchup and lemons? That's outrageous. There are ALWAYS fruit flys everywhere. Service has been good for the most part, besides the robots.. that was definitely a waste of money and very confusing. Idk - the restaurant is different, and it's better than making the trek to Seattle, but the prices are pretty high. read more

The food was amazing! Perfectly seasoned, the crab was fresh, and the service was amazing. My server was very attentive and made sure our meal was perfect. The ambience is nice, very well decorated and it had the football games on which was a plus! 10/10 would come back. read more

Sadly, we had fruit flies, also, but the food was good. The price was about what you'd expect today. I was disappointed I couldn't get a salad. read more

Would recommend going to Tacoma over this one. Unprofessional staff, the batter is different from Tacoma captain crab -which isn't as good in my opinion....jennifer was a bit rude, however the ambiance was nice lol, that is the one nice thing I can say. But for food and friendly service I am sorry but it's not worth the time... read more
