Captain James Crabhouse

I'm not big on shellfish, but apparently, this place is a good place to go to get crabs and other seafood because they always have a decently sized crowd. I been here twice and had wings and sweet corn both times. The wings are nothing special, but the sweet corn with that Parkay butter they serve is everything! There is an indoor bar and dining area, but the highlights of this restaurant are the island atmosphere and the views of the harbor on the outdoor pier that extend outdoors to the restaurant. It is currently mid spring and the weather is just perfect. If you like being right on the water and simply want to enjoy a getaway in the middle of the city, with a down to earth vibe, give this place a visit. Service is good and it's beautiful!

First time here on July 4th—went to the restaurant side (ship-like design) which had air conditioning! Joyce was our server—super cool and attentive. Steamed Crabs XL-size were $140 a dozen—a bit pricey but the crabs were delicious and full of meat! Corn on the cob was sweet and the French Fries were okay. We got two dozen of the XL crabs and it was TOO much for 3 ppl. But we enjoyed it so much that we brought our family here again the next day!! Next day, they only had 1.5 dozen left of the XL crabs when we arrived for lunch—the host was able to put a hold for us to have all of that, as we were getting seated, so nice of him! For appetizers, Clam Chowder, Cream of Crab, Hush Puppies and Captain’s Waffle Fries were all good. Cocktails were great too. Service was great—of course, we asked for Joyce! Also, had a chance to go to the other part of the restaurant, by the water—the Crabhouse. It’s more casual and outdoor so it’s hot. Had some drinks at the bar—Mike and Roman were super cool bartenders! Fun vibes here.

Fantastic crabs here! This was my first time eating crab straight from… the crab and they were delicious. They came out hot and incredibly well seasoned. I also have to shoutout those hush puppies which were to die for. I could probably eat an entire order by myself. I was also happy to be eating outside! Be warned though: eating crabs is not a quick affair

I have been coming to Captain James' crabhouse since 2021 and I always enjoy my time here. Sitting close to the water while eating crabs under the little light and cool breeze from the water while watching the boat sea.. The Time I spent at Captain James Crabhouse is an unforgettable memory.

Good and plentiful. We got the all you can eat (in 2 hours) crabs and they were very tasty. The soup was meh but the corn on the cob was sweet and tender.

The portions were kinda small for their price. My bowl of soup was much smaller than most places I've been to. Cream of crab soup was good despite its size. Mussels were tiny. Calamari wasn't that great. I didnt care for the fries. I liked my sangria. The people next to me were eating crabs with gloves on. Like heathens. The sweet corn was really good though. According to to Google, sweet corn is ok for Ducks to have. So I had 4 ears, which I shared with the ducks, mostly the babies, on the next pier. I would take a bite for me, and then take a bite to throw to the babies. I love the duckies. Grab an ear of corn for your kids and go feed the duckies.

I had an amazing experience here! I ordered the blue crab — it was incredibly fresh (definitely not frozen) and full of flavor. The view is absolutely beautiful, and the service was outstanding. Our waitress was unbelievably attentive, checking in with us constantly to make sure everything was perfect. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great seafood and great service!

Around 2:15 on a Suunday, lots of avail tables. Promptly greeted. Servers were nice. No AYCE crabs on Sunday, but ordering a dozen came to about the same price. We did get XL crabs dozen($140). Seasoned well. Crab dip in bread bowl, wings, & hand cut fries were all good. The fries could def be shared between 2-4 people. Water is by the bottle & not free here($2). Free & ample parking. All in all a nice place for crabs in the city.
