Good food, the spicy is ACTUALLY spicy! Major complaint was the washrooms at the time were a mess, we told the waitress and someone immediately went down to clean them. Sizzle platter is the best deal, but need to go in before 4pm .

A great place for groups. We all got a boil bag" of seafood. It got really messy really quickly. The Captain Boil's sauce was tasty and flavourful on its own. Though I found it actually overpowering and drowned out the delicate flavours of the seafood. The crawfish were tiny and hard to eat but it was my first time eating crawfish so it was kind of fun. They cut the lobster in half so it was fairly manageable. The Seafood Fried Rice was alright too

Okay, I ordered two mugs of beer of their special “Sapporo” something they did not have that, so I had to order same old fashion “Corona” which is ok. But they did not have variety in beers section limited choices... then we ordered fish n chips though fries were way more than the fish... serving in a bowl with two sauces in tiny cups which makes it little awkward as its not a “corner shop” ; should have served in a better way. We were two but did not give us separate plates... first we tried to sit at the front but a person from staff said its reserved but we did not see any reserved sign over there then he moved us to back... surprisingly it was not reserved for someone but its a reserved area... I literally did not get that in my mind. And he then adjusted the furniture for just two of us...a large sheet of paper was there on the tables which is understandable. So that customers does not make a mess and staff just pick it with whole of left overs and put in bin... but that is so boring hides the furniture...no music in there. It looks nice from outside but it was actually not as per the standards.Overall 2.5 stars...

employees are really nice. The portions are huge and you can customize your meal in so many different ways! There are plenty of options and you will never leave with an empty stomach.

Had one of the best seafood meals I have had in a very long time. While I am a huge fan of the lobster normally, this lobster was not the prime eat that you get when you normally have lobster. The flavor was good but the texture was a little off and rubbery. The remedy to the slight rubberiness of the lobster was the phenomenal flavor, texture, and seasoning of the captain's boil crab legs. The house seasoning in combination with the medium heat was the perfect setup for the crab legs. When you add on top of this the fact that you eat with your hands... The experience itself is something you have to try at least once... and you will probably try it multiple times to be honest.

I was craving seafood and I came to the right place. The food was delicious and the platter I ordered has a good variety. The only thing was that medium spicy was actually more than medium. I still enjoyed the flavours and the combination.

Food was good, okra a bit hard. The server forgot our ites ordered on 3 occasions and we had to ker reminding her for each item. Service ruined the experience. Typical good for geoups, casual dining. The fast food of seafood!

After looking through the reviews it seems like I experienced what many others did. Two main things stand out: good food and poor service.1. Food quality: I think of all of the sea food places this has to be one of the best in KW. All of the mains have tasted great. Some of the dishes may be quite spicy, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the food itself is very good.2. Poor Service: This is something that I have noticed in many comments where we rarely saw our server come to us, we always had to flag them down. We had sat for almost 15 minutes before we had to call our server to let them know we were ready to order. After receiving our food/drinks, our server did not make sure we received all of our food. Upon realizing we were missing some items we needed to call our server over to ask for what was missing.I believe in the 2 hours our family was seated, our server approached us twice, meanwhile we needed to call our server over about 4 times (5 if you include me needing to walk to the counter to pay the bill). It bothers me to have a high price point to receive great food but poor service. However if you are a die hard seafood fan I would still recommend going at least once.
