I ordered from uber eats and noticed that it seems different locations have different pricing???? But I ordered from this place the following: -snow crab legs ($38): the meat was sweat and seems fresh. 4/5 -shrimp ($22) there were lots and most of them were an decent size! But it didn't seem to be fresh as the shell was hard to peel 3.5/5 -whole lobster ($60) the pricing was SUUPER steep for this was since I could go to my local grocery store and get a lobster for $20 but I was curious to know what $60 lobster was like. Needless to say, it was very underwhelming. I feel like it's worth $45 at most. The meat was also bitter??? 2/5 Would I order from here again? If I'm desperately craving seafood but there are better options in Toronto!!! read more

Uber eats. Food was hot shrimp boil it was delicious. The lobster bisque was creamy with a little spice. I also had scallops wrapped in bacon. They forgot the dip though Southampton was a bummer. read more

I ordered food from this restaurant by Uber and the sauce taste like some peed in the sauce and did not taste like the Captain Boil sauce. Ordered over 10 times from Captain Boil and l have never ever tasted the sauce like this. It also had taste like Indian food. It tasted horrible and l so disappointed. The corn was over cooked, the shrimp was over cooked to the point when you tried to peel, it just fell apart. This was the worst Captain Boil l ever tasted. They need to give our money back and l suggest not to order from Yorkmill location because the food is shit. I called the restaurant and the guy couldn't even understand what l was even saying to him on the phone. The food was horrible and the lack of communication just put the icing on the cake. DO NOT ORDER FROM THE CAPTAIN BOIL AT YORKMILL AND DONMILLS ROAD IN NORTH YORK. THE FOOD IS SHIT! read more

Used to love this place, but the quality has really went downhill. I had their sizzling platter today (15.99) which came with mix seafood and a few pieces of deep fried fish + serving of rice. The fish were super thinly sliced, I felt like I tasted more of the batter than fish. The most disappointing part of the meal was their sauce. I used to love their caption boil sauce, unfortunately that's no longer the case. I felt like their sauce didn't have any flav ; it felt like I was having burnt salt. * For the sizzling plate you can chose between chicken or fish with seafood ** The chicken option was even more of a disappointment, the chicken was dry and flavourless. To top off my experience, the server handed me the bill without me asking for it. The restaurant was not packed, nor was there a line up. Oh and she never performed any quality check, only dropped by to fill up my water once. read more

The Captain's Boil - Sizzling plate. - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The great thing about this restaurant is the fresh, quality seafood. It was perfect. I chose my flavour to be garlic, which turned out to be jarred garlic in oil dumped on top of everything. That is not the method. Make a nice broth. Include raw, actual garlic and include seasoning. There was absolutely no salt or pepper on anything. Seafood is really good. I don't know why they ruin it and cheapen the dish by adding half a jar of minced garlic, which makes it altogether way too greasy and very difficult to eat. You have a good product. Please seasoned it and cook it properly with a broth -- add some wine and garlic and herbs in the broth. It'll be excellent. The condiment, or the flavour selected, should not ruin the entire dish, but enhance it ! read more

Food was decent for a good price. Didn't like the calamari. However the bag of seafood was well flavoured. Side dishes were meh, but over all I enjoyed it. It gets pretty messy, but they give you gloves and a lot of towels. Casual ambiance, good place to meet with close friends, maybe not the best first date choice. read more

Thus is a different kind of experience in restaurants for me, but I enjoyed it. The seafood ones with 3 sauce choices, and I chose well with the Cajon option. The entire meal is served in a bag, warm and good. You are supplied with a bit and plastic gloves, so you dig in with your hands. It is well worth a visit. read more

OMG this place is the bomb. I am obsessed​ with The Captain's Boil! I have always wanted to experience the whole bib and dig in on the table scene and it came truee!!! Service: the service is amazing and there are a lot of washing stations nearby. Food/price: The food is amazing, you can choose a range of seafood options... We got the crawfish and seafood combo (shrimp, mussels, clams) ... something like that. :) Price was ehhh but worth the experience. BUCKET LIST Y'ALL Audience: good for food fights with your date (jk) or a nice family gathering. Recommend/tips: DIG IN BRO git git read more

The Captain's Boil - yum yum - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Dine-in here is a great experience. You can choose your seafood and spice level, and your items are brought to your table boiled and marinated with veggies. The tables have plastic gloves so you can eat with your hands, and theyve narrowed down the cook perfectly - not overcooked and not raw. The only downside is their prices have increased drastically, or are higher compared to shrimp/krab/lobster at other restauraunts. read more

Captain Boil's simply incredible. i especially love their captain boil sauce (this is a sauce option for your seafood). my mouth waters more about thinking how tasty that sauce it. i'd seriously use it for a veggie dip. basically because of this it's my favourite seafood restaurant in toronto. so delicious read more

So gross!!!!!! Ordered on Uber eats - literally put it in the garbage. Disgusting called the restaurant and they had no feedback just blamed it on Uber eats. Cold Yes But gross greasy taste and small portions isn't explained.. Go elsewhere read more

The Captain's Boil - Cold and disappointing and 33 dollars - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Disclaimer: I don't like seafood (so why am I here right?) le bf wanted me to go with him to a work gathering so I tagged along and HEH I ordered chicken :) We had a large group maybe 10-14 people and got seated relatively quickly :O large long table and service was great. I didn't have any issue with my meal (i'm the only one that got chicken lol) and there was some seafood that were mixed up with other people though I don't think anyone minded. Chicken fingers were alright. Cajun fries were surprisingly spicy!! I liked but it got overwhelming at one point. My bf wanted to order 2 things but both of them aren't a part of the menu anymore. The waitress simply explained that they're removing it from the menu. Prob should replace all the menus then. He ended up getting fish & chips. It looked super dry but it tasted moist so that was good. 3* for food 4* for service read more

This location is small so plan ahead. We had a 30-45 minute wait. I wish they had a bar more suitable for waiting. Also wish they served drinks other than beer. The service was great. The menu had options for everyone and they food was delish! I had crab legs and shrimp with corn, potatoes and sausage. Tried the cajun and the captain's boil seasoning. They were both outstanding. I felt the value, portions and quality were great. I would certainly come back and try more menu items. I recommend this place just pack your patience. It may be crowded but it's totally worth it. Toronto is definitely a town that takes care of foodies. Captain's Boil has multiple locations so we had no issues stopping in while staying downtown for the Caribana. read more

I've been here a couple of times as it is close to where I live. Over the years the prices have increased a lot and it's now more on the expensive side. But everything is still just as delicious!! One of my favourite dish is the Captains Boil Seafood Fried rice! It's a big portion so it's good for sharing and it's amazing! The service here is really fast and great, the lady that served us (who we see on a frequent basis) is always so nice! Definitely will be back :)! read more

Barbarians everywhere! Eating with their hands ... piles and piles of scaled shrimp covered with sauce that can only be described as Cheeto coloured. Despite all this and the blaring 90s pop meets dubstep soundtrack ( who thought of this?), Despite all this... the food is pretty decent. $12 will get you a lb of shrimp , $1 a piece of corn to go with it. The sauces come in a variety including captains boil (a mix of Cajun, garlic and one other). My girlfriend and I got a pound of shrimp and pound of mussels. She was a big fan of the mussels... I was not. The shrimp were good but you had to take off both the head and tail. (apparently some people just eat the heads! Yum) Everything ended up tasting like the hot Captain's Boil sauce we got it in. I don't know if I would order the crab here because it would just end up tasting like the sauce. You also get super messy. read more

We went to the Captain's Boil restaurant on Yonge St. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the waitress was great. I ordered the shrimp dish with garlic sauce. The shrimp dish came in a plastic bag and I spent a lot of time peeling the shrimps. The shrimp dish was very good. I also ordered the seafood fries which was delicious. My brother and sister also enjoyed their food. The only problem was that the food was very expensive. I wanted to order the lobster dish, but it cost more than 40 dollars! read more

It took a while for someone to take our order and the food was just ok. The seafood boil lacked flavor bad the shrimp was chewy. My calamari was soaked in grease and also had no flavor. The rice was ok just to spices for my liking. I personally wouldn't come back. read more

I love Captain's Boil! This was the second location I've been to (usually I go to the Sheppard location). We went here during the AYCE shrimp promotion that was going on and the wait time was about 45 minutes. The workers were very nice and the location was a lot more smaller than I expected. The shrimp was great as usual but for some reason the Captain's Boil sauce tasted a little watered down to me. Not sure if it was because of how busy it was due to the promotion but I will definitely try again during the normal time. Also the Cajun fries were amazing, I loved the little kick of spice it had. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 read more

Last nights devours took me to @thecaptainsboil . This seafood spot was a random fire in another country. Here, they serve a number of seafood dishes as well as creating your own seafood boil. The waiters are very nice, and are very fluent with explaining the menu. While here I ordered the seafood fried rice along with a pound of shrimp with the head and 2 pounds of snow crab's and they're famous kept him boil sauce by which consist of three sauces mixed into one! The bathrooms are very clean!

No plates, no utensils, no problem! This place in South Common serves delicious sea food in a bag. The sauce is awesome! Although the place is a bit small and always busy, I think it's worth it. The service and the servers both excellent. $30 an order so 60 if there's 2 of you but then you need some rice too which is another 30. Give or take $100 including drinks. If you order additives (veggies) on top of crabs or shrimps, one order is enough for 3 people. The only thing is that they don't have tea or coffee. This place isn't for formal thingy... it's actually the opposite. For me because I like adventure and exploring... I enjoyed it but I probably won't bring my little kids there tho. read more

To be honest, I often times just past by this restaurant without paying much attention. I went to eat here for dinner with my parents. I ordered the seafood feast, with lobster, seafood fried rice, Cajun fries, some okra and broccoli, along with a bunch of potatoes, corn on the cob, and a group of mussels, shrimp and clams. My god, it was a lot that our stomaches could not even handle that much food. It would've filled my entire neighbourhood, lol. Anyways, the food is absolutely fresh with rich and spicy sauces that are marinated with it. Definitely a place to come back with my friends and a place that I would recommend. read more

What can I say. I love this place! I've been quite a few to this and other locations. My favourites: Extra buttery Creole Seafood fried rice 1lb of shrimp with the garlic sauce I've also had the lobster, mussels, crab and clams. All yummy. Wednesday's visit I tried out the new lobster roll and bisque. A huge let down. A slice of cold not crispy bacon strip on the cold lobster served on a warmed hot dog roll. Minus the bacon it still didn't wow me. The lobster bisque is not lobster bisque. The staff are always lovely to interact with. read more

Always wanted to try this place out when they opened. Can't say anything bad about the place other than I don't think it's great great value for your money but it's not too far from it. I know it sounds weird but it's super fun to eat with your hands! The seafood, thank god, wasn't over cooked at all. All the sides were delish, from their okra to corn and fries. Personally I'm not a big fan of crawfish but I can see why people like it. The crab was good, shrimp was good, pretty much everything was really decent. If you want to have a whole new eating experience, this is the place to visit. read more

The Captain's Boil - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a really good first experience here for dinner. Covid protocols were followed with the host checking our vax status and ID. Our server was also really pleasant and helped us navigate the menu and pricing. The seafood boils were really good and totally what I was hoping for. My group had the Pirate's feast so we were able to try the shrimp, mussels, king crab, seafood fried rice, and Cajun fries. My one "complaint" was that the seafood fried rice tasted too buttery but it was still okay since I was starving. The pricing seemed a bit odd because some of the feasts were a really good value when compared to the market rates posted for individual items so make sure you compare accordingly! This is either a really good pricing tactic to upsell people to the feasts or maybe the menu prices are outdated relative to the market rates lol Definitely will come back! read more

Late review, but I came back here in February 2019 for dinner. They sat us down very quickly, we immediately order our usual: 2lbs of snow crab legs with medium heat and a shrimp and fries basket. Our server told us that they have changed the menu and each boil comes with two sides and they raised the price for the shrimp basket. I wasn't too happy about because I didn't care for the sides. I just wanted my seafood, and I basically used to see my shrimp basket as my side. Anyway we were caught off guard by this so our server gave us a few extra minutes to decide on our two sides. We ditched the $16 (Used to be $14) shrimp basket and we got rice and potatoes. My rice was a bit undercooked so I barely touched it, and the potatoes were OK. The snow crab legs were great as they've always been, but they had raised the price from $22/lb to I think $29/lb (perhaps since it was off season so they're switching to market prices?). It doesn't sound like much but it adds up when the bill arrives. The server was very patient and understanding so I'll give this establishment props for that. I used to come to this place all the time for their *somewhat* consistent prices and easy menu. I feel that each time I come back, they always raise the prices. But it's just too expensive for me now. (at least during the winter season with those market prices). I think this will be my last visit. read more

Back again and this time, I gotta say.. "Meh, I've had better"! To be honest, I'm starting to think that The Boil Bar might be superior despite the fact that The Captain's Boil has more franchises. I mean, seafood is always delicious but here were my main issues today: 1) The clams weren't hot enough 2) Both the Captain's Boil and Garlic sauce were way too salty 3) The market price of lobster was insanely expensive? Is it really $40?! And the meat also wasn't the freshest 4) The shrimp wasn't fresh either, the meat was mushy and didn't have that nice bounce Sooo.. Yea. That was one pricey lunch. I walked out nice and full but in retrospect, I'm not sure it was worth it. Definitely won't be getting the lobster again! read more

For anyone that remotely enjoys seafood or cares about the environment, this place should be avoided at all costs. Everything that was on our table was either styrofoam or plastic - which could be sort of/borderline acceptable if they actually recycled the materials correctly. But they don't. The food was served in plastic bags despite the menu showing it on plates and it was dumped unceremoniously in front of us in a gooey sauce that didn't add any flavour to it. The mussels were enormous (did you ever have to chew a mussel like you chew steak? yeah, me neither, except there), which made me doubt whether or not they were genetically modified. The shrimp were not good either. To go back to the environmental impact thing - after we had left a big mess on the table due to the necessity of eating everything with our hands and tearing the shrimp apart ourselves, the waitress used the paper tablecloth to roll everything together (food, plastic, styrofoam, everything) and throw it in the trash. No recycling bin, no compost, nothing. I was in utter disbelief. The fact that businesses today can still get away with stuff like this is beyond me. While we're all fighting over plastic straws, this stuff happens right under our nose. I hope this review can get people to encourage sustainable businesses that actually care about the quality of their meals and the environmental impact they have. And hopefully one day regulations will be put in place to prevent restaurants to engage in such detrimental practices. Shameful. read more

Mediocre food. Came for a quick lunch with a friend in between classes. We both ordered the fish teriyaki (with seafood platter) lunch special for $10.95. Came with white rice topped with a few specks of corn and scallions, fish coated with too many greasy batter, a few large whole shrimps, 4 mini clams, and 2 giant ass mussels (yum). I couldn't have any of the sauces since all contained butter and I'm pretty sensitive to dairy products, but I did have the hot sauce (spicy level 3) and holy crap it was really spicy!! Price was pretty good for seafood, but food presentation and taste was pretty disappointing. The photos on their website looked way better and the actual platter today did not come with crayfish. The clams were also too small (where is the meat??) and the fish was 90% batter. Next time might try ordering a bag of seafood and try some of their sides (lotus root, okra, etc.) read more

I came here yesterday for the first time after wanting to try this place out for a long time. We got seated in a booth right away, it was close to 5 so it wasn't that busy. The bibs, plastic gloves and menus were already placed on the table. It took quite some time for our server to come take our orders even though it wasn't busy at all. We ended up ordering a pound of mussels, clams and crawfish (seasonal price of 16.95), with the captain boil's sauce mild, as well as a side of Cajun fries. I wish I read the reviews here earlier on, but DO NOT order crawfish! There's very little meat inside and it's like most of the time you're sucking on the shells. Definitely do not recommend! My favourite would have to be the mussels and clams, the sauce really soaked up on them so they're really flavourful. Also mild is actually a bit spicy and has a kick to it. I can't imagine how spicy medium and hot would be (I can't eat spicy food that well). Although I found the sauce to be flavourful, but I also thought it was a bit too saucy and oily. The oil seeped through my gloves. And towards the end of our meal, I was sick of the sauce and didn't want to do anything with it anymore. Maybe because of the sauce and the spice itself, my stomach felt really uncomfortable later that night. However, my cousin was fine, it was just me that was having issues. I also wonder just how fresh the seafood are.. Overall, this isn't somewhere I'd go too often - because of yesterday's experience and the price! read more

It's just not pretty to watch all that mess. I felted like attending a clumsy elementary school dinner. They didn't give us water with lemon or wipes to remove the smell of our hands (I removed a glove because I was biting the plastic). The seafood had good quality. I was excited to watch all those shrimps with head (sucking on their heads was delightful). The lobster was complete as well, I had the chance to eat some of the green stuff in the head that some other places remove. The oysters were a lil too chubby for my taste (I like them flat). The Cajun fries were crispy in the out and creamy in the insides. My friend from Barcelona found them too spicy, she couldn't stop eating them tho. The mechanic is simple: Pick the seafood, pick the sauce, and then, the degree of heat you want on your meal. We tried the Cajun sauce-non spicy, and the Captain's Boil (the mixture of all the sauces) with mild spice. I liked the intense flavors of both options. The Captain's one had a lot of chopped garlic, while the Cajun was challenging to decipher what the main ingredients were. I'll go back, however, I would appreciate if they stop using that crazy amount of plastic... What about easily washable buckets?? read more

The concept of this place is a novelty for Toronto so I was excited to try it out. We went as a party of two and ordered a pound of mussels (lemon pepper, medium) and clams (Cajun, medium) with Cajun fries on the side, a half dozen raw oysters, and beers. Service was serviceable and there was an adequate amount of paper towels (meaning an entire roll). The atmosphere was busy and the decor was fine. On to the food...unfortunately. To put it bluntly, the mussels tasted like those white rubber erasers dropped into a vat of spicy chicken seasoning and boiled for an hour. The seasonings and grease overwhelmed any hint of shellfish flavor that might have remained after cooking. The best part of our meal was the oysters (fresh with decent condiments) and the beers (cold) because neither of which was boiled, to our relief. Maybe it's growing pains or the fear of sending out a bad clam but I would give this place another chance when crawfish are in season. Until then, Yelp is telling me this review looks pretty epic so I'll end it here. read more

My first immediate reaction was: Dear god. All this plastic!?! :( environmental waste. The food was delicious, just a bit too oily. There is grease everywhere. I really don't like the concept using disposables: the bib, plastic gloves, served in plastic bags, etc... Would recommend eating with your hands instead. Great value! $10 = for the meat/rice dish + assorted seafood I am hoping they participate in proper composing or have a biogas digester. read more

Went with the hype and decided to try out this place. It was an hour wait but it reality, it took about 40 minutes for a table to be ready. The hype train is mostly right. The crawfish and sausage were delicious. Captain boil sauce is the way to go! The cajun fries are basically Popeye's fries. No difference at all. If you love that, then this place is for you! Service was actually quite good despite being so busy and packed. I could see everyone having a great time eating with their hands. Its more of an experience than the food per se. Taste was good but not wow. So keep that in mind. Its about going with people and sharing food. That's what this was about in the south usa anyways. It can get pricey depending on what you order. Go with the crawfish and sausge and corn! Best combo :D 4 stars **** read more
