Captain Krab surprisingly exceeded my expectations with their amazing food! I ordered the Shrimp (no head) & crab legs with a side of potatoes, corn, sausage, eggs, and broccoli, accompanied by hush puppies. The portion was generous enough to share. The Krab House Special Sauce, in medium, elevated the experience to new heights - it was the best crab boil I’ve ever had, bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, with very friendly staff. The cleanliness of the space was commendable, and the prices were reasonable. Despite being from Washington DC, a visit to Harrisburg to visit family led me to Captain Krab, and I can already envision it becoming a regular spot for future visits. Highly recommended!

Seafood Boil
The service from the waitress was excellent; she was very cheerful and friendly. We ordered a seafood boil; the shrimp was good but the snow crab legs were either not fresh or overcooked- the meat stuck to the shell and the shell didn't break crisply.

Seafood Boil
My wife and I chose Captain Crab because we were looking for seafood and are especially fond of King Crab. King Crab being hard to find made Captain Crab an easy choice. What a disappointment. We ordered shrimp and show crab at $51 and added King Crab (1 lb) for $60. The two were combined in one boil and looked great when delivered to our table. The snow crab was above average, the shrimp tough and bland taste, but the King Crab was borderline awful. Maybe because it was in a boil and not steamed like we are accustomed to, but the taste was anything but the rich sweet taste you normally get with King Crab. In all fairness, we did not bring our disappointment to the attention of the staff (nor were we asked how things were) so they did not have the opportunity to respond. We were running late for a concert and did not want to take time. I just wanted to advise those looking for and willing to pay the premium for King Crab, that you may want to look elsewhere for that.
