Captain Crab in Lakewood delivers a satisfying seafood experience that hits the spot. The food tastes great—fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Whether you're diving into a seafood boil or grabbing some fried favorites, the quality is consistent. The portions are generous, and the sauces bring everything together perfectly. If you're craving flavorful seafood in a casual setting, Captain Crab is a solid choice. Big shout out to John for the great service—friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even better. Definitely visiting again. Love it.

From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by Leah, who was kind, prompt, and made sure I was seated quickly with everything I needed to enjoy my meal. My server, Daisey, was fantastic—friendly, attentive without hovering, and super knowledgeable about the menu. She helped me customize my order to match exactly what I like, down to the spice level and sides. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, hot, and full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. The seasoning was on point, and everything tasted like it came straight from the coast. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fun and nautical, adding to the whole experience. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving seafood done right!

My husband and I first came here 3 years ago while they were remodeling. This is our first time returning since then and it is such a different experience and environment. It’s beautiful. My toddler had fun watching the lobster, walking around and was distracted while we waited for our table to be ready. The food is still absolutely delicious! High recommend for a family meal get together, friends night out or anything in between. They offer variety of mixed drinks as well as non alcoholic beverages.

We had a group and they were very accommodating to our parties size even without a reservation!(there is a set gratuity for large groups so keep that in mind) Our server John was awesome! Friendly,attentive and gave great personalized service! The atmosphere is very fun..pirate,beach theme with a waterfall and lots of rad decorations and photo-ops throughout the restaurant! There's cute robots that help seat you and bring menus and some apps in addition to your human server The portions were good sized and everything was delicious across the board with everyonein our party! The drinks were tasty and cute too! I also got a crab boil to go and it was triple bagged and then placed in a super cute reusable shopping style togo bag so it was easy and clean to transport it home and it was delicious and fed 4 of us! If youre bringing a tiny human they don't have crayons or a kids menu just ad a heads up so maybe bring some crayons or a tablet and expect them to want to go check out all the decorations throughout the restaurant and dance in front of the waterfall..it has a cool light up "koi pond" on the floor in front of it that's perfect for a dance floor twirl or 2. Definitely a fun spot to go for a family meal or date night out! And be sure to ask for John if you want exceptionally great and personal service!

Definitely recommending it! Great place, great food, great customer service, fast, clean. Reasonable price for sea food restaurant. I always get 1lb headless shrimp (medium spice). We go there every month after completing our job, it's a thing now.

Great food, very reasonable prices, and the service was made with generosity and a smile. It was very busy, but we didn't feel crowded or rushed. The layout was thoughtful as there were sinks available (The large order buttered items could get messy!) without having to enter the bathrooms.

Visited The Captain Crab for the first time ever on Valentine’s Day (waited 1hr), and it was awesome. The food was great and came out in a timely matter. Our server, Audrey, was wonderful and attentive! My daughter really enjoyed all the decor and claw machines. We will be back!
