Came here for Easter Sunday lunch. We were greeted by the server at the entrance. They were not too busy. They setup our table of 8 and gave us the heads up there will be an automatic 15% gratuity for groups of 6 or larger. The menu does have some a la carte selections or you can choose one of their seafood feast combos. My sister-in-law was treating so she was ordering the food. We ordered the following items: 1. 2 x calamari $14.99 ea 2. 2 x lobster poutines $16.99 ea 3. 3 x 1 lb shrimps one garlic and two Captain Boil's sauce $18.99/lb 4. 2 x 1 lb Mussels $17.50/lb 5. Regular side of corn included with 3 & 4 6. Premium side sausage x 2 $6.99 7. Captain's Boil seafood fried rice $17.99 All the seafood had market prices due to fluctuation of cost of seafood. The seafood fried rice portion wise on the small side. The rice was late to the game and we would have appreciated if they brought that out before we ate all the shrimps and mussels. Food was great. They deploy robots to bring out the orders. Garlic sauce in the shrimps were kind of bland but the shrimps were crispy. The lobster poutine had nice pieces of lobster. Fries seemed to be soggy but the taste was on point. Sausage was juicy and we all liked it. Corn was cooked just right and really goes well with the seafood. Remember their sauce tends to be on the spicy side. We found the mild Captain Boil's sauce had just enough spice. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our Easter lunch and service was friendly. The total bill came up to $252 including 15% gratuity. The food is on the pricier side since we only ate shrimps and mussels. If I was ordering the food, I would go with two orders of the Matey's seafood combo feasts since you have a choice of 2 seafoods, Captain fried rice, shrimp basket, 1 premium side and 2 regular sides for $67.99. From a value perspective the feasts are the way to go with larger groups. Will come back again and try the feasts. The parking lot is in a state of disrepair lots of cracked pavement and potholes. Be careful when navigating around the parking lot. Please repair asap as this could damage customer's vehicles.

We checked out the Captain's Platter loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams, snow crab legs, broccoli, corn and potatoes! The meal is amazing! We had a memorable experience enjoying the seafood with our hands. Consult with your server before ordering your meal. They can help you to explore some delicious seafood dishes especially if it's your first time. Don't forget to order the veggies and seafood fried rice with the seafood platter. I would definitely recommend coming here to the Scarborough location for a family dinner, a fun date, or hanging out with friends. Huge parking lot, clean environment, and absolutely incredible customer service. 4505 Sheppard Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1S 1V3

Fried rice- nice flavours
Karmen N.

A fun eat with your hand experience but overall very salty. For a family of 4, we shared a few things for dinner. Some are hits while others are misses: Sailor's A Set: OK: 1 lb garlic shrimp- lots of flavour but very salty HIT: Fried Rice- excellent flavour! MISS: Cajun fries- extremely salty. Also, we had 2 baskets of these and one is crispy while the other is soft. Seems to be inconsistent frying. MISS: Garlic Bread (3pc)- Very soggy! Mushy texture and not toasted at all. Also needed more garlic HIT: 1 lb wings- this was the best dish amongst everything. Very fresh and flavourful and salt level not overwhelming like it is on everything else. PASS: Fish and Chips (Reg)- 3 pcs of Haddock with cajun fries. Fried ok, but the flavour is exactly like frozen battered fish, little off-putting. Fries are quite spicy and salty if that's your thing. Too much seasoning for me, so I'll be passing on this next time. Needed to drink a lot of water after this meal; not a place I'll come to regularly. Also, unless you're getting a glass of beer, all their bowls and cutlery are disposable. Lots of plastic waste

I like the idea of this place and of course, it's always fun to eat with your hands. Make a mess--They got you covered with houses, bibs and a washing station right in the restaurant. We got the snow crab legs and mussels. Mussels are consistently meaty here and the crab legs were sweet and meaty as well. I got rice, potato, corn, and okra as the sides. The corn was delicious and I enjoyed the Okra. I would advise not having those in the bags of seafood though. The sauces were so incredibly oily. The bag of mussels had almost no sauce. It was just filled with a red oil. It's like they have a vat of sauce, and scooped the top layer for us. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I ended up squeegie-ing each piece off.... I found it not only oily, but very salty. We barely got through our two pounds of seafood. Maybe a one time visit for us. I prefer a different but similar concept restaurant. I was also quoted a different price at the start of dinner and what appeared on my final bill. Honestly, I didn't find it worth trying to flag someone down to correct. I wouldn't have minded the higher price, if they had been honest up front. It just left me with a bad taste at the end of the meal. I understand why it's such a popular idea and I encourage you to try it for yourself. I personal would get my seafood fix elsewhere.

New policy change from Head Office, only 1 Sailor's Seafood Feast per table. Such BS
Allester A.

Update: Came back to Captain's Boil since I got an invite to come for dinner. This time they let our table order more than two of the Sailor's Seafood Feast. The last time I was here, they mentioned there was a new policy from head office where there's a limit of two per table. Only reason I didn't give full star is because the apron (or bib?) is made of paper and rips easily. Overall, I can now say that you should check this place out if you are craving a seafood feast. Note that I got a reply from their account that said no such policy existed.

My friends have typically insisted on traveling to the North York location after having one bad experience here where their sauce was watery, but we came back to give it another chance. It was my first time at this location. I haven't been to Captain's Boil in a while but my first notice was that they've spruced up their menu and now there's more selection and other dishes to choose from. They also now have different combo packages. I ordered a pound of mussels with mild captain's boil sauce. I usually order a side of fries and a corn but this time I forgot to. The mussels were tasty and the sauce was flavourful. I think Captain's Boil is a little inconsistent with their quality, because I've noticed across chains that sometimes their sauce tastes better and worse during different visits. A pound of seafood wasn't enough to fill me. After I was done the mussels I didn't really want to back track and order more, so I ended up stopping by elsewhere for quick take out snack food. I do enjoy the environment at this location more than the other location though. It's more spacious and the set up feels nicer. The parking area is a bit awkward and limited though... I had to park in the plaza next door but it was an easy and quick walk over. Service was good, nothing notable about it. Don't expect to get full off of a pound of seafood... ordering fries or other sides is necessary to leave with a full stomach! The sauce is good and quality was good. Captain's Boil is one of those places I'll crave every so often, it's a nice place to revisit every once in a while.

Had a great experience for my first time at Captains Boil. The staff was friendly and greeted us when we came in. They promptly assisted me to my seat once I told them about my reservation. When we sat down, our server introduced herself, and asked if we had any questions on the menu and if we wanted to have anything to drink. She was able to answer all of our questions, including the specials, price differences etc (she was basically very knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant) The food came promptly after we ordered and wow, I was excited to get down and dirty with my hands. We ordered everything mild with the captains boil sauce (which tasted amazing). Everything was hot, and the sauce was very flavourful! The hardest part was keeping our phone and clothes clean, and grabbing napkins haha. Will definitely come back again in the future for another feast. Thank you for making our experience

2.5 Star for lunch Experience which offers Chicken/Fish Teriyaki with a side of seafood for $10.95 We were here on Saturday around 2:00 pm for a late lunch. The restaurant was not too busy and we were seated promptly and was given a cup of room temperature water in plastic cup. (suggestion: maybe some iced water would be better?) Chicken Teriyaki with Captain Boil Sauce Medium Spicy - The chicken was tender and flavourful - The hot plate was sizzling hot when served Fish Teriyaki with Lemon Garlic Sauce Fire Spicy - The hot plate was warm with no sizzle at all! - The fish was mushy and more batter than fish - The sauce was lurk warm and the seafood was not really cooked through, especially for the clams and mussels which has this mushy texture The 2 craw fish on each of the order were probably the worse. The tail meat was tasteless and mushy. We ended up just have one bite and left the rest untouched. Maybe the side seafood would have tasted better if it was served/prepared in one of the bags instead of just putting them on the hot plate and served with sauce on top? At least they would be hot instead of warm? I would not recommend the hot plate special! Serving those the way it was really not really represent the real seafood boil experience! Ordering something from the actual menu probably would be the best bet. My first ever Captain Boil's experience was a disappointment. Maybe I should not have order those specials..

Don't have many nice photos since my hands were full, food is delicious and fun to eat. Great date idea.

I've been here four times in the last four weeks and I have to give them points for consistency. The seafood has been fresh every time and the service has been great. I even have my own personal server now, Nia. ;) She's great! My personal favourite is the snow crab with Captain's Boil spices, corn on the cob, and Cajun fries. The spicy garlic butter is delicious! My fellow diners usually go for the clams and shrimps. Tonight, we tried the crawfish and nobody was crazy about it. Their ice cream is always good! Each visit, I've been with different friends and family. All of them said they'll be back. So will I.

Lowering my score to a 3/5. Today I ordered a lobster with the captains boil sauce. Starting with Quality: As always captains boil never fails with flavor. Regardless of what sauce you select, it will satisfy your taste buds. I did however notice that the captains boil sauce was over powering the taste of the lobster. I still enjoyed it but it would be nice if it wasn't over powering. Portions and price: $42.00 for 1 lobster???? That lobster didn't even satisfy me and I was still very hungry. If you're a lobster lover and you're on a budget and want good quality lobster then go to red lobster. 42.00 gets you one lobster at captains boil and there's barely any meat..so disappointed 39.00 gets you a rock lobster tail with veggies and one side at red lobster. Not worth 42.00 at Captains boil. Sorry captain! I'm off your ship. I will be back for the sizzling plate because I think that's the only item on the menu where I can be satisfied and not worry about my wallet.

One of their daily specials - fresh oysters

I am an avid customer of this particular location and I generally don't have any complaints. Most of the time, you get to choose where to sit. Your bibs and gloves are already laid out on the table and they immediately bring out water to you. The service is always on point (at least for all the times I've been here) and they tend to check up on the table every once in a while. They also upgraded their menus with a few more new items/combos (they have daily specials now too). I always order the pound of shrimp and mussels in the captain's boil sauce with a side of steamed rice. If it's your first time, I definitely recommend trying anything with the special captain's boil sauce - it's literally just all the sauces mixed together but it's SO GOOD. I like getting the shrimp and mussels because they're both much meaty-er than let's say, crawfish (which I do not suggest to get at all because of the bare minimum meat). Speaking of, if you get the sizzling platter, which is also really good, it typically comes with crawfish, shrimp, mussels, clams, rice and your choice of fish or chicken HOWEVER, you can substitute the crawfish with more of the other seafood(s) included. The cajun fries and seafood fried rice are also really good... honestly, I'm just a big fan of Captain's Boil generally. Overall, this is a good casual place for seafood and to get messy with family and friends. They cater to big groups and give free ice cream when it's your birthday AND their music is always bangin'.

This location of Captain's Boil has quickly become one of my family's go to spots for both dining in and grabbing take-out. Whenever we come here we're always greeted by the staff and service is always super quick. Our normal order is usually a pound of shrimp with the captain's boil sauce and their seafood rice, which is always very flavourful. I've also tried their clams and mussels which I would also recommend. I believe they have 4 sauces you can choose from, however I always stick to the classic captain's boil sauce. In addition, you can choose from mild, medium and spicy depending on your spice tolerance. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place as staff are friendly, service is great and food always hits the spot!

While their primary focus is very much still lobster, they have added steak as a staple for their restaurants. They now offer aged Canadian beef steak along with their lobster. We ordered their set menu that included: Black chicken steamed soup - Very delicious Chinese style soup, very light but packed with flavours - 9/10 Fried Garlic soy lobster with fries - very tasty fries and the lobster had lots of meat - 8/10 Garlic stir fried lobster - Similar in flavour with the previous lobster dish but not has flavorful - 7/10 Steamed fish - simply and tasty! 7/10 Stir friend lobster with Veggies - the veggies were the highlight for this dish since the lobster (while still delicious) tasted very similarly to the Garlic stir fried lobster) - 7/10 Aged top Sirloin steak - steak was really really tasty, high quality meat, my only gripe was that I wish the serving was larger since this is meant as a family style serving - 8.5/10 Lamb Rack - also very tasty but was fairly small (we received this item as a promotional offer, this isn't normally included in the set meal) 7/10 Overall really good, the restaurant was extremely busy. I'd say almost too busy and not enough staff because I can tell every server was completely swamped. However the staff were still incredibly polite and helpful. I would recommend this place, especially if you have a birthday or friends/family visiting, it's worth getting the lobster and experiencing it. Just keep in mind that you're definitely paying decent price for what you get. Our dinner was $500 after tax and tips. (Note: the month of September had an offer where if your party had anyone over 65 years, you'd get 15% off. So our price would've been roughly $575 without that promo)

The whole showing of the lobsters & crab before they cook it, tower of HK style fried lobster, and lots of accompanying Chinese dishes can be a crowd pleaser. Personally for me- there wasn't a lot of pay off of crab meat after wrestling at its shell. The lobster was good but the flavour was disguised from all the deep friedness & oil. Apparently the bed of fries used to be a higher quality side in the past too.

The lunch combos come with a spring roll and a choice of soup or a soft drink and was around $14. Our food came out pretty quickly and it was piping hot which is always great! The hot and sour soup was very good and it actually had a nice kick to it with chunky tofu and veggies morsels. My friend took a spoonful and found it to be too spicy for her, but I have a decent heat tolerance and it tasted perfect for my palate. The chili chicken on our lunch looked equally good, but fell short as the chicken pieces were small, dry and tasted of old frying oil which was unfortunate because the gravy was so good. Maybe next time, I will try a different protein to see if that can earn the restaurant the rest of the stars. Looking forward to coming back to try other items here soon!

The noodles (e-fu) were cooked just right and very flavourful. This contrasted well with the braised tofu and fish with gravy on rice. The dishes worked together to balance out the flavours. The HK milk tea was smooth, creamy and sweetened to my taste. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be coming back again soon.

Cannot go wrong with their amazing value lunch combo for $11 or $12. There are a ton of dishes to…read morechoose from so there is something for everyone. The lunch combo comes with a drink (add $1.50 for an iced beverage), soup, and great portion entree. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and my boyfriend got the beef curry on rice. I was astounded by the portion of the beef curry - and it was super delicious! The noodle soup was good, it mainly took the flavour of the egg noodles, but I was happy with it. The beef was mainly beef tendon rather than actual meat, but for the price I wouldn't expect anything else. The iced HK milk tea was refreshing and they put it in a to-go cup which was very convenient. I will say that the service isn't great but it did the job. Before tip but after tax, it was $30 - which is really great for the amount of food we got (considering it was a drink, soup and entree for two). They take credit over $20.
