Captain Mas Seafood and Crab House

This place is way underrated. The food is amazing, the service and stuff are the most customer friendly than any other place we've been to in the NOVA area. Definitely highly recommend it!

Wonderful !

It seemed the place was not busy at all when we arrived. There were maybe half a dozen tables seated at that time. And yet we waited to be acknowledged at the hosted area for about 10 minutes before someone finally came to greet and seat. We asked to sit outside as it was a bit noisy indoors with all the people at the bar. Only one table outside had an umbrella and one row of tables was enclosed in a party tent with a reserved sign placed on the table. It began to rain shortly after our food arrived so we migrated into the covered tent. Our server said this was ok as it was only ‘reserved’ for the owners family but since they were apparently understaffed, that visit probably was not going to happen. Our server was great and really deserves all the stars I’ve given in this review. The food is just OK. Lots of seasoning in the seafood combination dish. Bordering on too much. Value seemed OK as well though they skimp on the crab. There was only one claw cluster in the seafood combination dish we ordered. Overall not a terrible experience for us on this particular visit. I’d be willing to return if I knew they were fully staffed and provided cover for all of the outdoor seating instead of just the one table and the party tent.

The staff was amazing. The owners came out and talked to us. He checked to ensure our food was good and congratulated us on the occasion that we were celebrating. The food was good. We ordered appetizers, drinks and entrees. Fresh and seasoned! We will be back!

Great food! Great service! Friendly staff! Nice atmosphere! Nice portions!
I'll definitely be back.

Leo provided the best service. Can’t wait to go back to try more items on the menu. Everything was delicious to include the drinks

Stay away!! Service is beyond horrible. A reservation means nothing to them. We were told the kitchen was backed up so we would have to wait at least 45 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. There were 3 other tables seated at the time. If they can't handle 4 tables, what's the point of being open.

Food was great and they were very accommodating to my allergy. Overall great experience

Basic, Descent and Affordable Eat-in Dining! No Frills & Thrills.

Never had service. Person came by once in 30 minutes. Ended up leaving. No dinner

We were seated snd it took quite a while to get drinks. Then our drinks sat on empty for over 10 mins only to be told they ran out of the sweet tea and the lemonade we had previously been drinking. Luckily they didn’t charge us for them.

We ordered the boil for two and it was terrible. Potatoes were undercooked. The lobster I paid extra for was over cooked as well as the shrimp. About the only thing cooked right we’re the crabs, corn, and the sausage.

It was over 50 mins to get there from DC. I wouldn’t be back unless I happened to be in the area. They are worth a second shot on maybe a better night but not to go out of my way for it.

Food and service were excellent.
Thank you.

The food was excellent and a great value. The crab cakes were real; they had lots of crab meat with little filler.

Large group dinner after a wedding weekend. Awesome menu and service and meals were terrific. Everything came out hot and delicious. Recommend the fried snapper...presentation is something to experience! Great end to a great weekend. Glad to support a locally owned restaurant.

Great service and great people but the food not really what I would like it to be

The food was excellent and the service generally great. We were seated quickly and providing a rose to the ladies was a nice touch. We had a little issue getting a second glass of wine, as they evidently ran out of wine glasses. Sadly the ambiance really detracted from the otherwise great time. It just looked a little run down, and not like what you would expect from an up to date restaurant. It did not appear that any of the furniture was ripped or too worn, just not what I would expect. So if you can get past that, then I recommend it highly. I would suggest they invest in a little capital renewal. They could probably recapture some of the expenses in higher prices, as the food was that good.

Good food. A little pricey. Desert was horrible . One waitress taking care of 6 busy tables. Drinks overpriced

Not the freshest crab..

In town from ny and our whole rockfish was delicious. Fried oysters were delicious. Our server Leo was so pleasant and attentive that we thought he was the owner.
The owner also stopped by to ensure that we were doing well.
Wld drive from ny to visit again.

I was expecting more flavor from the steam pot. They use a tomato based sauce.

Food was really good. The venue was primarily a bar atmosphere, and it happened to be a “borrowed” venue for a Russian trivia game in Russian. Looked like the Russian speaking customers had fun.

I got a half dozen jumbo steamed blue crabs. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. There was not a light crab in the lot. We also ordered crab cakes and hush puppies. The crab cakes were wonderful as were the hush puppies. You can not go wrong with this restaurant. I know we will be going back very soon.

Thank you Captain Mas!

We made a reservation for 930 because the restaurant says it closes at 11. We got there 5 minutes early and the place was empty. We were told that the kitchen was closed, very rudely. I strongly recommend staying away from this place

Went to Captain Mas Seafood on 3 August 2019 and the food was not great. My friends and I ordered the Seafood Boil for One- Cajun style. It didnt taste like cajun at all. The sauce tasted like they use a tomato sauce with water. So, it was tomato sauce watered down with no flavor on the seafood. Also, the shrimp and crab legs were overcooked, the potatoes no seasoning, the list goes on. Our overall experience with Captain Mas was not good. We will not go back to Captain Mas.

The food is great but the all you can eat prices are the highest I’ve ever seen. Even with the quality of food, $80 for a 13 year old little girl is just too much.

Food was awesome! Waiter was Great! Overall experience was niceeee

All you can get for an overpriced amount? Then they never bring more so it's really just a scam.

We went on Father's Day. We got a seat quickly and the server was at the table right away. We placed our order which was for one meal plus two all you could eat. The meal was served quickly; however, the crab legs took longer. With each remaining request for legs, it took longer and longer. As we left, the manager apologized indicating that he had not expected such a large crowd on Father's Day. The crab cake dinner was excellent as were the legs when we could get them.

The food was good as always. We had the seafood boil, enjoyed it and had more than enough clam, mussels, crawfish, crab and shrimp. My only desire is that they use larger clams. Our waitress was very good and attended to us faithfully. I will be returning.

They were short staffed but the food was worth the wait. I will visit again

Relaxing nice out w my husband.

Great service. My husband ordered seafood and loved it. He said is was extremely fresh. My pasta was disappointing but the shrimp was fresh and delicious. Appetizers were delicious.

We had a wonderful evening with good food, good service and great ambiance.

Great crabs.

Why 50 characters. Seems silly????????

Scallops were perfectly done. Had nice flavor and balance.

Also had oysters on the half shell. Fresh, salty and good.

There was a private party starting as we arrived. The party was so loud they hurt our ears, and we left taking our food to go. The owner/manager was very apologetic, and gave us a discount on the food. I think it would have been nice otherwise.

Always great service when ever we visit. The food and service is impeccable.

We met some fine people that made our experience even more enjoyable. Food and service was exceptional as usual.

My family and I had another amazing experience at Captain Mas Seafood and Crab House. The food was excellent and everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff members were all very nice and helpful with the menu. They have also helped us celebrate a wedding anniversary in an unforgettable way ! We will definitely be back soon.

I absolutely loved it! This was my first time at Captain Mas Seafood and it definitely won’t be my last !

The food was cooked perfectly. The chef himself came out to us which was a very nice touch. We ordered the seafood boil for two, gator tots and crab Mac and cheese which were all amazing. I could have not made it better myself.

Our waiter, Steven, was great! He made sure my husband and I have a nice Sunday date. He took wonderful care of us , made recommendations and funny jokes which made our dining experience unforgettable.

Lastly, the decor was perfect as well. It had lots of cool stuff to look at while waiting for the food. The lake overlook made us feel like we were on vacation.

Thank you so much, Captain Mas Seafood! We will be back really soon for more of your amazing food.
