Captain Crab - Knoxville: Top Seafood Boil Experience with Fresh Dungeness Crab & Friendly Service

After living in Maryland for 20 years, we went here with a skeptical attitude. Wow, we're we surprised. Fantastic service from Tenay and the food was fantastic. From the hush puppies to the corn and potatoes, delicious. Dungeness crab was delicious as well as the shrimp..you have to give this place a try!

So sweet. Have been open since Feb. This year 2025. Fairy new. So getting in to eat might not be too hard.. I went on a Wednesday and it was amazing! The waitress was extremely nice and helpful. Clean, well the place! Haha I wasn't too bad after the cream boil! They got regular, mid, hot I believe. It was 36 for me. Honestly I thought it was a fair price! I gave a $10 to. She deserved it. Oh you get a bib, bucket, cracker, and gloves **THANK YOU**. I'm a mess when I eat.

My new favorite seafood spot close to home! Second time coming here and it did not disappoint! Our server Chesney was so upbeat and full of energy. She kept our drinks refilled and even went as far as entertaining my kids! Talk about a win win! We started off with the captain special 10/10! I got the low country boil- spicy and my fiancée got the low country boil -non spicy. 1000/10 Such a good price for the amount of food you get! My daughter got the chicken tender basket with Cajun fries and she ate every bit of it. We also ordered some mozzarella sticks which were good but we were too full to finish them.

Stopped in for the first time to give this place a try and I don't eat seafood so I had the chicken fingers and onion rings. My hubby got the boiled meal and it looked good and he ate it all. The hush puppies were really good and crispy. My chicken was just average , but I was at a seafood place so that is almost to be expected. Service was fair, she could have come back and refilled our drinks more often. Very well decorated inside and very clean.

I've seen a few posts for Captain Crab, and since I had a craving for seafood, I thought I'd get a catfish sandwich or something like that for takeout. I did nit dine in, but placed an online order. The sandwich dream quickly dissolved when I saw that they had lunch-sized boils and purchaed it. All I can say is if that's lunch portion, I wonder what is dinner size?? Lovely shrimp, potatoes, corn, andouille, egg and crab were cooked to perfection and double-bagged. The broth was very tasty. The "to go" bag contained 3 bibs, 3 pairs of gloves, forks and oodles of napkins. My bib showed every sign of enjoyment. The gloves were not utilized as this meal deserved to have fingers licked! Try as I might to shove it ALL in, I could only eat half. Go if you haven't been!

My family and I decided to give this place a try. From some of the reviews I was a little concerned. We ordered the popcorn crawfish and hush puppies for an appetizer. Both were amazing. My wife just ordered shrimp and my son and I got the country boil. It didn't take long at all before food was already coming out to our table. The flavor was amazing and was definitely plenty of food with a lot of leftovers. I highly recommend giving them a try. I'll definitely be going back soon. Edit: Forgot to add that the service was top notch that day.

Huge portions. We split four 1/2 lb items and added two lobster tails from my husband’s birthday. The shrimp (without head) were biggest, most succulent shrimp I have had in this area. The only thing is our corn tasted frozen / reheated / not fresh, so that made us wonder about the seafood quality: however, did not get sick and will give it another shot!
