The Captain's Boil

I had an amazing dining experience at Captain’s Boil, and I just had to share! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch. What truly stood out was the attentiveness of the staff—especially Lynda, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. When I wasn’t too fond of my first drink, she didn’t hesitate to offer me a different one without any fuss. That kind of customer care is rare and definitely appreciated! The food? Absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned—the kind of meal that leaves you planning your next visit before you’re even done eating. And for the quality and portion sizes, I found the prices to be quite reasonable, which made the experience even better. All in all, Captain’s Boil delivered great food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Big shoutout to Lynda for her outstanding hospitality—she truly made the visit memorable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great seafood spot with amazing staff!

Visited Captain’s Boil Calgary North for the experience, and it didn’t disappoint! The seafood was fresh, well-seasoned, and served hot — perfect for seafood lovers. We enjoyed the unique dining style, eating right out of the bag with gloves. It’s a fun, casual spot if you’re in the mood for something different. Great food, friendly service.

Over priced. Seafood is market price, the portion was determined by the restaurant without our consent. Fried rice was cold. Garlic was stick on the clam shell, sauce was oily. Deep fried shrimp and yum fries were hot. Corns were $3.75 for a small portion. The girl took three bags of food to us, no explanation, she shook them at the table. Messy, clams were spilled on the fried rice. She left without a word that the food was ready. It was an uncomfortable experience. Customers were ignored and not respected.

Dined at Captain’s Boil last night for the first time, our group was 5 adults and 3 children (we had a reservation - definitely recommend making one, it’s a busy place!). The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, our server was fabulous (placed our kids orders with our drink order - 2 of the kids have allergies, and before we had a chance to mention it, they had brought it up and were very detailed with the options and risks). They offered fabulous advice on the menu and suggested options that would suit our group the best. We were throughly impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be making our way back!

Looking for a perfect date night spot? This seafood gem has it all! My wife and I went for dinner, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, making it easy to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. We ordered the Mateys Boil with Captain seasoning at medium heat, plus a Captain's Caesar for an extra treat. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were complex and perfectly spiced. Portions were just right for two, leaving us totally satisfied—and maybe a little stuffed! The service made the night even better. Our server was quick, friendly, and clearly enjoyed their job. Toward the end, the owner, Mark, came by to check in, which was a nice personal touch. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests’ experiences. If you’re in the mood for flavorful seafood and a welcoming setting, this place is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back!

This is our go to spot for a fun, spicy food night out. We love the mixed, captain’s seafood boil! My favourite cheat day spot to enjoy some amazing food with great company! Prices are pretty decent for the food you get too 🙂

We had an uncomfortable experience during our visit to Captain’s Boil in Calgary. A new Korean male server was being trained by a female trainer who continuously criticized him in front of customers. At one point, the food he was carrying was so hot that his hand turned red — it looked painful, and we were genuinely concerned. Despite this, the trainer continued to scold him, which delayed service and created a tense atmosphere. Later, the male server accidentally dropped food on our table. He looked extremely flustered and distressed. The female trainer whispered something to him, and we expected she would take appropriate action — but instead, she disappeared into the kitchen and never returned to any customer-facing areas. We didn’t eat the dropped food. We spoke to the manager, who apologized and said they would make it up to us next time. Unfortunately, it was our last day in Calgary, so we had to leave without any real resolution. What disappointed us most was that, despite being told by the manager to apologize, the female trainer never came to us. We later heard from someone else that she had asked the manager to pass on the apology instead. Her choice to avoid taking responsibility and face the situation was very unprofessional. The new male server seemed to be doing his best under difficult circumstances and was not at fault. Unfortunately, the overall handling by the trainer and management left a very negative impression on what was supposed to be our final enjoyable day in Calgary.
