The Captain's Boil in North York

The Captions boil

I love going to this restaurant it s one of my favorites I always feel super full after eating , but I just wanted to double check are you guys using any oil that s not halal?

Drove all the way here and they were not opened. Why is the opening hours not updated correctly on here. So annoying!!

Sherry is absolutely amazing! Best service I received in ages. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a phenomenal time. Thank you Sherry!

Very nice place. Food is delicious and for a good price

Last time eating here gave me really bad stomach bug.. I m fine but it was def the food inside was freezing didn t take drink orders.. I would just do take out but the quality was poor disappointing

Decent place but can ofcourse do better

I have been going to Captain boil restaurants for years and this location is one of the best. Delicious food, shrimp done to perfection. Highly recommend

Good service and good food :)

Awful

Very disappointed with this place, it use to be the best to go there at least once a month or twice! Now all discount are to be in cash or no discount that should false advertisement too bad! Never going there again no wonder the place is empty

Not to mention the food has not been eaten yet. The boss does not hire people during the peak period. If it is not possible, we will close the store. There are three waiters, one is new, one does not look up, and only one aunt is okay. Let s destroy it.

Nina our server was amazing

The food is really good

I just had the most horrible experience at Captain Boil. The girl who was serving was nice but the food had no standard taste that we get at other locations. My friend puked everything out after eating first two bites of crab. They give food poisoning to the people and we complaint they said we can t do anything and we even paid 100$ bill!!! Never go to this location, try mississuga one or sherway gardens for the real taste and experience.

Ordered 2lb of shrimp for my Birthday. Not feeling great after, as they don t clean the shrimp properly (leaving the poop string still inside) most people wouldn t notice. I will never return to this location. The corn was the best part -_-

An experience to be enjoyed.

The food and the service are really bad. I was upset for the food.

The captain boil flavor does not TASTE the same!!!! I ve been to a multiple captain boil but this branch It taste like straight up tomato sauce LMAO

Food was delicious but when I am spending a lot on the platters the washrooms should not look like a truck stop. Especially in a restaurant where you have to wash your hands frequently. But the food was delicious.

Captain boil s sauce quality at this location is horrible, the colour of the sauce has changed to red and it s very watery. I suspect they are reusing it or using gutter oil because I had the worst stool after eating the Crab Legs here for a few days straight. DINE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

We ate here last July 30, after few hours I was dealing with stomach pain. It lasted for few days and same thing with my partner as he kept on throwing up, diarrhea, fever and headache. Little did we know that we got food poison. - I just hope the restaurant should be more careful when it comes to preparing food. Safety should always be your priority specially when its about the food that you are making.

When you try calling them, it says their phone number is out of service

One of the best seafood places to eat at!

Having a bad experience here not good. Try another branch

Monkey Business. WORST BRANCH. Availed All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp and Mussels and we have to order pop to get it but kept telling us to not order a lot because it can be a waste. Understandable as it is a waste and mentioned customers have been doing it to get it for take out. FULLY UNDERSTOOD. Finished eating, take this in we were 3 adults eating, only ordered ONE-TIME for all food, 2 lbs Shrimp, 2 lbs Mussels, 2 lbs chicken, Fried Rice, and Calamari. When we finished the rice, we asked again for a refill. Server stopped and told us that it would be TOO MUCH since there s still a lot of food on our table. Like come on now, are you telling us how to eat at this point? Waited for the rice for at least 15 minutes, nothing came. Lost our appetite to eat, we re freaking asians, we want rice. Told the lady server that we will cancel the rice and just pay. Now we want to take it home since we didn t finish it and take it home to eat since I guess the restaurant didn t cook enough rice. Lady server was beefing with us for not finishing our food and we told her the rice itself took so long. Already lost our appetite. Still payed for the everything with the EXTRAS for not finishing the one-time food order. Reminders to not waste food is okay but stopping us to order because we want to eat more is freaking annoying. Asian-owned but your not an asian household so freaking calm down on telling people what to order and how much to order. Get your money elsewhere with good service.

Was delicious and the hands on experience was fun! Great price and service.

What an experience. Excellent service and amazing food! Shout out to Dilpreet for making our dining experience truly exceptional!

We were seated right away, and they were happy to get us started with drinks and calamari. We figured out what to order within 10-15 minutes then we called the server to place it. We were patiently waiting, snacking on the calamari. About 30 minutes go by and we were watching people who came in after us get their food. Didn t think too much about it. Another 30 minutes go by (1 hour from when we placed our order) and at this point we were starving. I went up to ask them about our food, and they pretty much forgot to send it to the kitchen. They apologized and asked us if we wanted to wait for the food as they were just about to start cooking it. We said no, paid for the appetizer and drinks then went to red lobster.

I ordered uber eats bogo promotion for the shrimp. It clearly states 1lb and when I received the order, they sent 2 bags of half a pound each (11 shrimp/bag). When I called the store the lady said they purposely give less because of the promotion. I asked to speak to the manager or whoever was in charge and she said she doesn t know when they re in and when I asked if they could call me back she said no. Why is there false advertising on the app then? If you can t afford to give the customers what they order, don t add it to your app.

Horrible customer service. Ordered 2 pounds of shrimp and was told over the phone that there should be around 20 per pound. Once I was informed them that there were only 11 per pound I was disputed and told that nothing will be done about it and left on hold.

Wonderful food

Poor service. No care to serve customers. They will take payment quickly and take long with your food.

There captains boil sauce taste different than any other captains boil branch.

I ordered a pound of shrimp medium spicy. Is coming mild and cold was not even a little warm . No napkins, no gloves as well Food : 1/5

This place is absolutely filthy! Ran down and unkempt. Seat fabric is soiled with all kind of stains. The floor is greasy and nasty. There were pieces of crab shells on the windowsill. Prices are outrageous! The waiters are not aware of what kind of fish is served in fish and chips and its the seafood restaurant!!! You cant pick sides here either (only those that are listed under certain meal selection offers). I do not recommend this place mainly because of the poor hygiene and uncleanness.

I visited Captains Boil at their York Mills location yesterday around 3:45 pm, hoping to enjoy one of their advertised plates available until 5pm. Unfortunately, upon requesting this dish, I was informed it wasnt available. I chose another option, only to be told that wasnt available either. When I inquired further, the waiter explained they had everything available but couldnt serve certain plates at the listed price because the restaurant was supposedly losing money.Initially understanding, I sought alternatives, but each of the suggested options by the waitwr came with a $10-$15 price increase from the listed price on their menu! This experience left me deeply concerned about the restaurants management. The server appeared apprehensive, hinting at pressure from the manager to prioritize profits over customer satisfaction. Overall, my visit was marred by poor communication, unavailability of advertised items, and a clear disregard for customer experience. I feel so sorry for all the employees of this location as their manager seems to be terrible. TCB s franchising should really look into Captains Boil at York Mills needs to address these issues promptly to maintain customer trust and loyalty.

We got the crab legs with corn and potato and a calamari shareable plate. The calamari was rubbery and unedible. The corn wasn t cooked. The potatoes seemed old and the crab legs were extremely small portions. I m very familiar with the Markham and Woodbridge location and I was very disappointed with York Mills locations service. The server barely spoke English, and couldn t understand our complaint. It also seemed like the entire family worked here along with children, running free. Also, not once during the service did they offer to refill our water.

We ordered Lobster poutine and Lobster sliders. It appears this location uses lobster paste to save money. They just grind the lobster meat with other seafood meat and serve it to customers. If you compare the picture from the menu to what youre getting, you gonna probably . Absolutely disgusting.

It was sooo bad the sauce tasted sooo bad. The waitress was so rude I will never go back and it was expensive for no reason

Garbage food they feed people, canned seafood!!! overpriced waste of my money for sure

worst seafood boil place

Disclaimer: this place is NOT a captain s boil restaurant!! I decided to finally visit this location because it s nearby. I ordered the sailors feast with shrimp, captains boil sauce fire with cajun fries. First off, the captains boil sauce is NOT the original captain s boil sauce. They made up their own sauce which was creamy/milk with a lot of five spices and possibly shaoxing wine! I ve been to 3 other CB and they all had the same tasting sauce but this place is NOT which was very disappointing. Have I know that, I would ve saved paying the $3 additional extra sauce fee. Second, the fried rice portion was ridiculously small about 4 tablespoons like literally! But at least the rice tasted like original CB! Third, the portion of the Cajun fries was a joke! To all CB lovers, I suggest to save your time and go to the other CB locations as this one is not worth it. I wonder if the positive ratings are even real! BEWARE SAVE YOUR MONEY!

First time at Captain Boils and the food, service and atmosphere is superb.

Different branches has different flavours. Food is good, June is the only attentive and energetic server. Others dont pay attention. Thanks June for assisting us, very much appreciated.

Captain s boil is good in general but this one is more spacious and the people serving is really nice. I just wish they can give more rice for the price we are paying.

The food was so good I was moaning.

I used to love Captain boil But every time I go I take one of the stars I use to give them. Unfortunately the price goes up and the quality came down I decided to make my own Capitan boil at home No more captain boil for me Good bye

Overpriced.

Been here many times but the last few times the quality has gone down a bit. For instance the seafood fried rice used to come with a good amount of shrimp and scallops, after ordering the last 2 times, your lucky if you get any scallops or shrimp. Might as well just call if plain fried rice. Also they used to have lotus root, now it is no longer on their menu. Lastly the Captains boil sauce is what makes this place addictive! As long as their sauces dont change regardless of plain fried rice or now, Ill still be coming back!

THIS IS THE CAPTAIN BOIL TO GO!!! We tried a different location and had to leave cause the service was horrible and then we just stopped by this location to see if they could serve us and we had the best experience. This is my second year at this location of Captain Boil and it has been the absolute best!! The service was awesome, atmosphere was beautiful, we got to take our time and give our order on time. We didn t have to wait too long for our food. Everything was just above and beyond great! The food is absolutely amazing. The drinks are beautifully made. I highly recommend the Shirley Temple!!! It hits every-time. Overall 10/10. Great job being done here. Will definitely be a regular in the years to come.

Great seafood i just wish they had nice fried or grill fish there battered fish could be better.

Had heard a lot captains boil so we decided to go before my flight back home and the nearest one was York mill . As it was my first time there the food was fabulous finger licking good compared to the prices..but to talk about the service the server with the glasses..came with her mouth full of food which was extremely unprofessional and rude..I felt quite awkward and disappointing as captain boil is one of the famous restaurants..this behavior was not expected..anyways the food which I ordered made those sour moments to happy ones..

This location was our favourite because of their service and food quality but today 12/20/22 8:30pm. The captain boils sauce was disappointing. It taste and look watery, salty and not at all the same as the ones were used to be served. Not sure if they changed their cook or quality of ingredients but taste totally different. Also, the shrimp had black spots on it shells. The server said it was due to the lack of salt water sometimes not submerged enough and she kindly changed my shrimps yet the sauce was still the same. I ended up not eating it cause i lost my appetite .

Low-quality food compared to other Captain s Boil branches. My friends and I felt nauseous. The worst customer service! We asked for a bill and water 4 times and they did not pay attention while the restaurant was not busy at all!!!!!!

Ive been to a few captain boils throughout the GTA and this is definitely my least favourite experience. The service was fast, but that s because it was a ghost town on a Tuesday evening. I ordered shrimp with the captains boil sauce, and it does not taste like the regular captain boils sauce. It was very creamy, not what I m used to. I had to ask for water, napkins, etc multiple times before receiving. Overall, very subpar experience.

Not my bag of fish...ops yea no no !!! sorry, this style of eating is not for me..not worth the money for the food quality that youre expecting. Overall, 2 is being generous. I got up to leave... sorry, I have to be honest.

Great place and amazing food. I love seafood, so I enjoyed every second that I spent there.

I had a bad experience yesterday at this location. I use to go here a lot but yesterday I went there, the Restaurant was serving rotten Shrimp. Something was not right. We brought it to the staff attention and they told us the food has been there for awhile. They even admitted that the food has been there for awhile but didn t do anything to address the issue. Yesterday was the last time I will ever go to this place. We paid and left regardless. I will definitely complain to Food inspectors of Toronto regarding this.

Went to this location after a very long time with family and we really enjoyed our experience. We order shrimp and king crab legs and we choose Cajun and Captains boil flavor. We also ordered their new addition Lobster poutine as well. The food was really fresh and full of flavors, my favorite was Cajun flavor. The staff was very courteous and professional, The ambiance was very cozy as well. Highly recommended

1 king crab finger in a $85.00 take out lunch order...never again

Everything was great but the sauce wasnt as flavorful as I was used to from other locations and the lobster rolls just didnt seem worth it at all. I would come here again because the service was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and sweet. The size of the shrimps were amazing. I enjoyed the rice and Cajun French fries and my can of coca cola. Id definitely eat here again. Parking: Lots of parking because its a fairly big size plaza but very busy and tight parking lot by the front of the plaza. More parking far behind the plaza.

Food was good. The kids loved it. Though so pricey now.

Delicious Kid-friendliness: Childrens packages

best place

Delicious seafood food

Very expensive for no reason , sauce is the same taste for everything, i would go to an actual seafood restaurant not a shell one

Great meal. Ordered the Matey s option and the value is great for the price. The regular sides could be more, but other than that, I had a great experience and the staff were amazing.

Friendly staff. Great food.

Good, yummy food prep with one of a kind sauce. It has always been my go-to lunch place with workfriends before WFH mandate hits. Coming back to dine with my family was so nostalgic. Me & my kids super love our food!

Been there four times already. The place is cozy and the ambiance is just right. However, not ideal for large groups as it will turn up very noisy. Service is excellent. Food tastes fantastic and portions are very generous! Good number of seafood items to choose from although from soup, could only order lobster bisque so far as they did not have anything else. Shrimp baskets, fried rice, fish & chips, cajun fries, and chicken tenders are a must try. Will definitely recommend the place. Kid-friendliness: Has high chairs.

This is a great restaurant overall. I highly recommend!

The food were delicious, I really liked the captain boil source for my seafood. The fried rice is great too. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They go extra miles to meet your needs. Very good experience.

Watch out and double check your receipt. The server doesn t even tell if service charge of 25% is added to your bill. No wonder she is so slow to show the bill because we refuse to pay Cash . As we are already in a hurry to leave , we just pay and give them 15% tip. Not knowing there s additional 25% , I don t think 40% tip for a lunch special is appropriate.

Amazing experience!!

Was an ok experience for the 1st time.. Im not a big fan of such a setup.. Its definitely worth trying.. food was tasty, calamari wasnt great.. felt like onion rings.. staff were pleasant.

I will never recommend or visit captain boil on York Mills. Be careful when ordering food. We went there yesterday and ended up with a $290 food tab for 2 persons, this is with only having water to drink. We ordered the Monday special. Confirmed the price before ordering and was told it the same price on the menu.I asked again so this is all well will be paying + taxes again was told yes , . We ordered the Monday special because of the crab legs. We each had 1 each of crab legs 1 order of shrimp, 1 order of calamari with fries and 1 order of rice. We came out with a $290 tab

We had the crawfish boil. It was delicious.

My boyfriend used to take me here from time to time because the food used to be really good. The last time we came the sauce seemed sub-par like margarine had replaced the butter in the sauce. We noted that but thought we would give it another try. We went again about a week ago and the experience was very strange. Everything on the menu was listed as market price...Are you kidding!!!! Even shrimp was market price! Who do they think wants to order from a menu that basically states We will charge you whatever we feel like for anything you order. We didnt order anything from the menu except the oyster appetizer that was priced at $17. Then we went elsewhere for dinner. The oysters were from PEI and most of them were delicious. One was spoiled and I didnt eat it.... With oysters, one is one too many. There is lot wrong at this place and it seems to be getting worse.

Very much disappointed, I ordered lobster fried rice and that was the worst in the whole Toronto, smells very worst even before opening the box and tastes too bad and the whole thing is gone for waste. Need to improve a lot please.

Had a beautiful family birthday dinner celebration. We had the Pirates Feast. My wife, kids and mother-in-law loved it. Excellent value for seafood lovers.

Nice service. Captains sauce is the best. Worth for a try. Food : 5/5

States that they close at 1030pm. Tried making a pick up order at 930 and they tell me that their kitchen is closed early because they had a family event.if you plan on eating here or taking anything out for dinner it seems like you should be there for noon or something?

This location was amazing had really good food our server was great thank you sherry!

The food is okay but I ordered a take out lobster and it only came with 1 claw? You guys should be better than this

One of my favorite places, and very affordable.

Nice ambiance. Good service. I order the lobster poutine I only got 3 little pieces of lobster

Food is okay nothing special a little over priced for what you get

We had lots of fun Food was great and our host lady was very friendly Food

Good for sea food lovers.

Quick service, although our food did not come out all at the same time. Got the fried rice first, then just my dish and then my dads and last we got the fries. The captains boil sauce tastes a little different to other locations as well

This place was really amazing friends 100% recommended, my second time I was here and the girls took great care of me, very attentive

I ve been to multiple locations. This one is by far the worst tasting. The captains boil sauce is my favourite but at this location it literally tasted like hotdog water. Ruined my entire meal :/

We gave $20 tip for our $100 meal (2 people) The waiter came to ask to pay her more since she doesn t get paid and she is surving from tips. These interactions were extremely unprofessional and awkward; this left a bad taste/client experience. The worst thing is that She didn t even move and kept asking to increase her tip!! Will not be coming to this location again!! PAY YOUR STAFF SO THEY DONT BEG FOR MONEY FROM YOUR CUSTOMER I have been to Captains Boil before but will not visit the York Mills location again because of the lack of customer service.

Came here for dinner on a Monday night with friends and was seated right away as the place was quite empty. I ordered 1lb of mussels with the captain s boil sauce but it was very different from any other location I ve been to. It wasn t bad but I m confused why it was so different because the colour, consistency, taste, and smell were all different from what I m used to, it was closer to a creamy rose tteokbeoki sauce. No real issues with the service. It was quick and they regularly checked on us to refill our waters. Would still rather go to a location that makes the sauce the way I m used to but not a bad spot.

First of all, its was my son 11th bday.We walked in during lunch time.The place was empty. We ordered lunch combo and the and other stuff, the server told us that there is additional $3.00 per order because it is a weekend( friday),but i dont see any sign and not even advertised on their menu. The food was good but it was dry.Not enough sauce. When we were paying,the cashier told us that if we are going to use Cash there will be a FREE ice cream.But we use debit card. I mentioned to her that it is my sons bday today.She just smiled on us. We are regular guest in this location.,but with experienced we probably not coming back..

Good food. Nice service.

Great food served quickly and nice and spices - if thats what you order and take out ready to go in a few minutes

Ordered mussels and shrimps for take out on a weekday and they are really tasty. That Cajun sauce is the bomb. Can t wait to try other items in their menu next time.

I didnt recommend Very bad taste like a sheet. Food

Had a blast! 1st time experiencing this kind of dining while travelling and the seafood is 100% delicious .

Plump and well seasoned shrimps as well as mussels.

The absolute worst seafood experience, a complete waste of time & money. The shrimp is serve uncleaned (we were only told after our order arrived that you had to pay extra for the shrimp to be cleaned, which we would have gladly done if someone had told us). Upon complaining we were told that s how all places serve shrimp, which is simply not true. They refused to do anything about the bill despite the food being inedible and gross. Will never be back. Save your money

This was my first time coming to this location with my friend. The food wasn t bad tasted really good. I ordered snow crab and I wanted corn as a side. Did not get the corn and yet was still charged for it. She berated my friend because she didn t tip her. When I was going to be the one to cover the tip. I kept asking to see the receipt and she refused to hand it to me because I knew she would charge me for the items I NEVER even got! The bill was $74 plus an $18 tip that I was forced to give because I paid without seeing my receipt. Then she tried to act like she didn t know and wouldn t give my money back. But instead gave me the missing corn with the SMALLEST container of sauce which wasn t even the correct sauce she gave me the spiciest sauce they had which I gave to my mother not knowing. Who has a heart condition and cannot eat such spice. Honestly steer clear of this location such a disgusting customer service.

Food

The menu pricing needs to be updated!!!. You cannot have one cost on your menu then tell your customers otherwise when they sit and ready to order. Always something at this location! I have had enough! You need to get your act together. I use to enjoy eating here before but my pass two experiences has been unacceptable!

Captains boil is always so addictive esp with the captains boil sauce. Service is decent and atmosphere looks a little outdated.

Really liked this specific Captains Boil. I find that the consistency of the Captains Boil sauce really varies from one location to another. We got shrimp and mussel seafood boils and it was plenty of food for 2 people

The Captain Boil is a place where one can indulge in the pleasures of the sea, without leaving the comforts of the city. It is a place where one can feast on the bounty of the ocean, without breaking the bank. It is a place where one can experience the joy of eating with one s hands, without losing one s dignity. I visited the Captain Boil on a weekday afternoon, when they offer an all-you-can-eat option for a reasonable price Less $30 a person). I was greeted by a friendly staff, who explained the rules and the menu. I chose the seafood boil, which included shrimp, mussels, clams, corn, and potatoes. I also selected the garlic butter sauce, which promised to enhance the flavor of the food. The food arrived in a large plastic bag, steaming and fragrant. I put on the gloves and the bib and prepared to dive in. I was not disappointed. The seafood was fresh and the sauce was rich and savory, and the corn and potatoes were tender and satisfying. I ate little past the point I could take no more, and then I ate some more. The Captain Boil is not a place for the faint of heart, the delicate of stomach or those who do not have the time to enjoy. It is a place for the adventurous, the hungry, and those who have at least $30 to spend on lunch. It is a place where one can enjoy the simple pleasures of life, without worrying about the consequences. It is a place where one can find happiness, for a moment, in a bag of spicy shrimps. I left the Captain Boil with a full belly, a happy heart, and a slightly lighter wallet. I spent less than $30, and I felt like I had a feast. I recommend the Captain Boil to anyone who has the time, loves seafood, and who is not afraid to get messy. Vegetarian options: For those that see seafood as vegetarian, then yes. Parking: Multiple restaurants so it can get busy at lunch. Wheelchair accessibility: Great access

I ve been to many captain s boil locations. This one is by far the worst one. The portions were extremely small compared to other locations. Service was also lacking. I recommend going to other locations instead.

Worst captains boil EVER. Took 10 minutes to be seated. People are getting seated within 2 minutes and we waited 20 more minutes and they are taking peoples orders that came AFTER US. Didnt even give us water. DO NOT GO HERE. Not busy at all.

The crawfish is probably dead for days or weeks. The worst seafood ever. I don t recommend to spend so much money on the rotten food they serve here

The food is fine, but the service is really bad, they serve the wrong food to our table first, luckily we didnt touch it because we find out its not our food. when we tell them the food is not ours, they just took the food away with out any apologies and took them straight to other table and gave it to them, it is really rude and kind of unhygienic, what if we touch it already?? And most of the time when we trying to call a server there is no response The thing that puzzles me the most is that the wrong things were served, two bags of shrimp and two portions of white rice. We told the waiter that the shrimp was not ours, but she didnt say sorry or have any reaction. She just took it and left. Whats even weirder is that another person came and asked us if we ordered white rice. We said we didnt (because we thought white rice was included in the set meal, and we were wondering why there was both white rice and fried rice). She took it away without apologizing. , took the rice and went to the table next to ask others if it was what they ordered. Its obvious that you got the wrong thing, can you at least express it? And what if we touched the shrimp and rice? We ate it, but we didn t ask if we had eaten it, and we gave it to others. Isn t this very unhygienic? All in all, the experience was not good.

Food 3/5 Service 0/5 Food tastes ok, but not surprising me. But the service is really really bad. They served wrong order to us. We waved hands and told the service they we didn t order this shrimp we ordered chicken and mussels, and the manager just walked up and trying to take everything away. I told her that the fried rices and sweet potato fries are our orders, then she just put them down and left. Didn t apologize or say anything about the whole thing. The table behind us came in after we ordered but they got their all foods faster than us. We didn t even get our water until we were seated over half an hour. During the dine in, no one refills the water until we were about leaving. Also when we put our hands up over 5 mins and no one comes to us. Have to say really bad services. Oh the service was new and training but the manager s manner was really bad. Will never come back again.

Seafood restaurant that cant make fish and chips ,is it possible? Last Sunday I decided to try some take out near by.. Tried google to find some good reviews and captain boil york mills came up with really good fish and chip reviews, so I gave them a call.. First I was told 10min then by the end of call order I was told come in 20min do to it being very busy, I arrived in 25-30 min (maybe 5 tables seated)and was told without checking the back that Id have to wait another 10min which in my mind means the order wasnt even given to the kitchen yet!, I said OK and left and came back in 10 min food was ready!! Went home and dressed them all up..from first looks I could tell it was over battered and greasy but I figured it must taste great with all the positive reviews..I got thru 1 piece of the 2(small fillets) and not even half of the frozen low budget fries and by the last bite no lie I had to spit out the last piece cause it was only grease and batter! Ive never felt so grease sick after a few bites of a meal than now after this.. I have to throw out the rest absolutely no way it would b edible after soaking further in its own sweat..

Last night was our very first time eating at captains boil. It was just me and my son and we went to the York Mills location. We ordered: - Lobster boil which was 1 small lobster with half a cob of corn and half of one potato, priced as MARKET. - sailors for one person (1lb. Shrimp) which came with fried rice, and fries. It was priced around 30 something dollars on the menu. We also ordered 1 sparkling water (which never arrived while we were eating). Our first Server couldnt speak or understand English properly. She had trouble taking our oder and couldnt fully answer our questions. She punched in our order in a machine (looked like a laptop) and after some wait, our food arrived. I cant make any comparison about the food since it was our first time in Captains boil. There were some bits and pieces in the fried rice which felt like sand or small rocks and totally ruined the rice which could otherwise be described as delicious, but this review is not about the quality of food. I felt totally scammed when it was time to pay! When I asked to pay, a second server took over (speaking perfect English) and told us that the method of payment is cash or E-transfer only. I wanted to pay by credit card but she said that option is not available and that a promotion is going on to help small businesses (I dont think Captains Boil is a small business but whatever!!!). She handed me a small piece of paper with an email address typed on it and a whopping amount of $104+tip was handwritten underneath (there was no invoice or printed detail of our order or the cost). When I told her again that I prefer to pay by credit, she started sweet talking me and didnt give me a chance to ask any more questions regarding the invoice. Meanwhile the first server (with no English) arrived and the second one told her that she is taking care of the bill!!! Seemed like they were both in on it because the first server started encouraging and pleading me to add some tips for her! My son asked the second server a bunch of questions about the promotion and she replied with some nonsense that didnt really contained any useful information. My son told her that we never got the sparkling water we ordered and she offered to give it to him to go. She gave us a small can (250ml) of Perrier water and also offered free ice cream for my son as part of the promotion when she saw my over the top hesitation. Given no choice other than paying by cash or E-transfer, I paid by E-transfer ($104+$11tip even though the food was clearly not worth that much and the service didnt deserve any tip at all!). My bank notification showed that the money went to a person named: GUIHUA FENG. I would have rated our experience -0 if I could. Not sure if this is something thats going on in other locations as well or not, but Im grateful for google reviews because at least I can voice out this rip off.

Ordered on Uber eats at this location. Let me just say their BOGO deal is a scam. It s literally paying the same price as you normally would so there wasn t any buy one get one. Their seafood fry rice is $32.00 .the normal price is $20 at every other location. The rice was hella dry. The bag of shrimp was being sold for $38 with no sides available ??? When it s only $24??? You people are mad foul for this price gouging. Taking inflation too far.

The food here is delicious and the service is very nice. Waitress are pretty. This restaurant is great for families.

Awesome service

I don t even want to give 1 star. This was so gross! First the girl pretending to be a waitress sat us in an empty restaurant beside a baby stroller(baby slept the whole time) but she had no space to walk through between us and the stroller and kicked the stroller a couple times. A seafood restaurant that doesn t have fresh seafood. Calamari was frozen, fish and chips was Basa! Might as well get it out of the Don river. It was disgusting. I took a couple bites and was done. She asked if I wanted to take it home and I told her god No. I asked her for vinegar and she asked me vegetables or something from the bar? She brought me a little cup of vinegar. The tartar sauce must ve been sitting out all day because the top of all of them had a crust over it. Onion rings straight out of the freezer french fries they weren t that bad but they were frozen. Then Sweet potato fries served with ketchup, that is so wrong. My daughters lobster bag just tasted like Sriracha. We will never go to this place again.

The food is amazing .. tried here in yorkmills and don mills location for the first time .. really impressed with the customer service and the food. The flavors were mind blowing .. will come here again anyone craving for seafood boil should visit this location

Goode service

Definitely an experience. Would definitely recommend the captains boil sauce. It is a personal favorite!!

Ordered shrimps from Uber eats. Almost all the shrimps have a lot of vein. Also the shrimps are not fresh at all.

Tonight We just order take out total $60.99 , my daughter gave her cash $80, The restaurant cashier only gave back the change $ 9 , Why the restaurant always cheating young people?

disgusting food, Stupidly slow. Don t waste your time and money at here!

Worst captain boils I ever been never ever going back here and I would not recommend going here worst serving we came here around 745 they serve us 830 and also they all confused 4 people come to use asking us for our order small serving as well if i can give negative 10 in this place i would! Look how messy our table yes were done eating at this time but there is no plate available! That s why it s so messy! This is a total freak show !

Delicious

Everythings really good except the captains seafood fried rice is not that good. Just get the seafood instead

Service is ok. Food is ok. You get a lot for the price. I would recommend this place to anyone who isnt shy to constantly bother their server for something. If not, good luck. Fries are the best ive ever had in my life. Menu pricing was incorrect, 117.99 on the menu for the pirates boil but in reality it was 120.99 when it came time to pay. Not sure if this was malicious or not. The soft drinks came in cans, not even a glass. They give you everything you need to eat except plates, even a handwashing station nearby. Server didnt do a good job of explaining how this place worked, was surprised when our food only came in bags.

This place is very close to me but I would rather go to another captain boil because the food here is very tasteless there is no seasoning and not enough sauce for my crab legs or Corn. I paid for food that eneded up in the garbage.

Killer seafood. Happy server!!

One of the best locations , the snow crabs are chunky and meaty and the shrimps are FAT,

Horrible seafood fried rice , I was disappointed. It tasted nothing like the other locations.

I ve ordered their bogo from Uber eats which is nearly double the price so defeats the purpose. However not when you get soft shrimp that is clearly spoiled!!! Gross you do not get a pound when you order they weigh AFTER sauce.

Parking: Good parking

Great seafood!

I was a regular customer here at this yorkmills location. However for a few months now they have been stingy on food amounts even though they change their prices constantly. I decided to write this review so people would understand the change and dissapointment. For the past 3 times Ive order over 50 dollars worth of food, they have jipped us the food. Each time raising the price. First time; food costs roughly 60 bucks. We didnt get our free drinks and we were jipped the extra fish. As you normally get 3 pieces of fish with the fish and chips meal. Second time; we paid almost 70 dollars-1 free drink, again no extra fish. 3rd time; this evening. 80 dollars, still jipped on the fish, jipped on the fries that come in the take out box andddddddd jipped on the 12 dollar orange shrimp rice. Soooooo dissapointed. I know they are jipping the food because I would go to the Markham location when this one is closed to due to no customers. The markham location still serves fish and chips with 3 fish, a full box of fries and rice filled to the brim. Lesson learnt you want good food, worth the price, filled the way it should be pre pandemic state- Markham location is the go to! The pictures I am uploading will show how this yorkmills location has changed. As a result they have now lost my service. There is only so many times a person will accept recession from a location who continues to inflate the pricing but reduce the food. Shame on you captains boil. Shame on you!

Really tasty food we absolutely love their shrimp, highly recommended. If you like tasty food and don t focus on serving methods this is THE place for you.

I really enjoy a great seafood dish! The food here is great & filling drinks were nice, my favourite item on the menu was definitely the lobster bisque! However the service mediocre (yorkmills location) I d prefer the downtown location when dining in.

The food was very tasty, the fish and chicken was cooked well. The service was good even though it was busy at the time. The staff was very kind and did a good job. However some of the shrimp intestines was not cleaned and the boiled eggs was over cooked for my liking. Overall it was a good experience thank you!

I am customer here for years and this was the worst visit I had to the restaurant. We had shrimp and mussels. The shrimp was terrible. It was so soft and looks like stored frozen for many months and over boiled. When I talk to the waitress, she said sorry !!
