Reviews for The Captain's Boil in Scarborough, ON
They have really good seafood here. The whole place is an experience, you get aprons and gloves to eat with. The food is served... hot and right off the stove and they have a variety of sauces you can get and heat levels. Great place to eat with family or agroup of friends. Read more
We tried to to go twice to the Ajax location and it was closed both times. So decided to drive to this one and was not... dissapointed. Good and knowledgeable service, great food. We tried a wide variety of things. Cajun sauce was the favorite. Thepoutine and the calamari was great too. A few items on the menu was not available but we enjoyed the meal nevertheless. Read more
Captains Boil ???? an abundance of flavour but sometimes less is more. ???? 4505 Sheppard Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1S... 1V3 Item(s) ordered: Matey's comes with: ????$62.00 CAD 1 lb Shrimp - Captain's Boil, Mild ? 10/10 My favourite part of thismeal was the shrimp. It was well-seasoned, maybe a little too salty like the other parts of the meal, but fresh and notovercooked. 1 lb Clams - Lemon Pepper, Mild ? 6/10 The clams were too salty and made them hard to enjoy. The uncracked piecesof pepper were also teeth shattering. The Captain's Fried Rice (Seafood) ? 9/10 You could really taste the butter in the rice.I enjoyed the flavourful but not too overpowering flavour of the rice that paired well with the boil. Keep in mind that theseafood is only shrimp. We wanted to try the sausage but that was out of stock. Shrimp Basket ? 9/10 The shrimp was nice andcrispy, and I enjoyed the tartar sauce that came with it, but they were a little too oily. It comes ontop of a pile of cajunfries which were nicely seasoned. Premium Side: Okra ? 10/10 It's a vegetable, it's delicious. It's not seasoned though whichwas fine with me. Regular Side: Corn ? 8/10 It was unfortunate that the sausage was out of stock but even more odd that thepotato was out of stock too. So we ended up asking for corn as the second regular side. I'm not sure if 1 side of corn comeswith 1 cob but we only got 2 cobs in total. I would have liked it cooked without butter. Overall, I recommend this experienceif it's new to you. For the price, you get more than enough for 2 people. I would get the shrimp again and hopefully the sausagewill be in stock. I had an enjoyable time at this establishment. The servers were friendly and attentive. Read more
This location has always been my favorite! It's been a while since I've visited but I was pretty happy with my visit back after... over a year. Staff was friendly, food and service was awesome! And the menu also updated with a new sizzling plate option(sizzling plate is my fav thing there)! Can't wait to go back :) Read more

Great place for saucy seafood! Beware, it might get messy so don't get too dressy, ask for gloves and bib and chow down! Don't... over order cause these bags can really fill you up! Check their board for their market prices. Service was good. Dining roomwas spacious Unfortunately they didn't have any beer on tap. Read more
I love seafood. Captain?s Boil is my go to. My all time favourite is their Cajun shrimp with two sides, medium spicy. This time... I ordered 1lb mix and match shrimp and clams, Cajun flavour, medium spicy. Two sides were corn and steamed rice. Very yummy asalways. You?ll pay the market price for the seafood. I?d say moderately reasonable price. Staffs were friendly. Enough spaceinside, they have a patio and big parking lot. However the paper bibs kept ripping. Read more
Honestly I love captains boil. The food was so good. But the service honestly dissolves the hard work of the the kitchen... staff. I don't know what my group did to the staff there considering this was our first time at the location. They were notbothered to show us our table despite the restaurant being empty. They were really cold and not friendly at all. It seemed likethey were paying for our food. They didn't have a plate or those bibs we usually get. ( I really don't get how they ran out ofplates in a restaurant) Always love captains boil for the amazing service and food in the other locations. But the staff couldhonestly use some workshops on being friendly. Was so hurt that I didn't want to take pictures of the food either which wasagain, really good. Maybe it was a bad afternoon,who knows. But there's always hope of things changing. Read more
