This place was so good, I wish there was one closer to the bay! We came here on a Friday around 1 and it was crowded! We were able to get seated right away though as the place is fairly big and can accommodate a decent amount of tables. The lunch special is such a good deal. We got 2 bags of shrimp (3/4lb each), fried crawfish, rice, and the fried catfish basket and our total only came out to about $50. The only thing that would make this place even better is if they had garlic noodles! I think the only area of improvement would be the service! While our waitress was friendly, she wasn't super attentive and our food did take a little while to come out. We also noticed the other waitress didn't really check in on the table next to us either, they had to get up and approach our waitress to ask for bibs and gloves.

The seasoning was on point for the 'Captains Blend'! Quick service at 4p on a Tuesday! Music was good with ESPN Classic on the tv's for entertainment!

So fresh and so good! Ordered captain special. Snow crab shrimp and blue crab with side of sausages. Everything was so good except the blue crab. I'd skip it next time and just add more shrimp. 5 stars because it's the yummiest crab bag boil place in the area! Will definitely be back!

Food is pretty well seasoned. Did the family deal that feeds 2 people which had some solid options. Music selection was great as well.
