I really enjoyed my visit here!! It was the first time visiting me and my bestfriend came together. We were thoroughly impressed being from Baltimore,MD I know my seafood and this was delicious. My favv was the Capt Loui house sauce and the garlic noodles. I’m going back just for that combo alone! The service was top tier as well. I came for the $1 oyster Tuesdays but got so much more instead and was very pleased🙌🏾 Oh I can’t forget the dessert!! Baby everything was so good no lie down to the dessert. We tried the funnel cake fries w/icecream scoop on top & beignets…omgg the beignets melt in ya mouth 😍
First time here and everything was lovely from the customer service to the food and drinks and the atmosphere. There was a parking garage which is convenient considering the location. I definitely recommend this place if you love a good seafood boil as I do and their fried food menu looked tasty as well.
Omg, what a hidden gem. We went for lunch, had the speciality broiler bag of shrimp, mussels and crawfish... 3 of us are for $55 for freshly boiled seafood. Waiter was very attentive to our needs... will definitely go back
First visit here at Cap’t Loui, was phenomenal. The service I received from Jay was good. The food was so good! I ordered half a pound of shrimp no head boil which came with one potato and one corn. Now the price is pretty high for the amount of food. I order an 6 piece wing for an appetizer, btw the don't have appetizers. The wings were fresh and cooked well. I ordered a side of garlic noodles. Which I highly recommend. I checked reviews before coming and noticed it was very popular, lol please you all join the trend. I ordered my boil-in-bag Cap’t Loui sauce which I absolutely love. It has a hint of sweetness which I think was a good idea. I did order mild, which was great for my liking
I thought this place was a great experience. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed the button game to try to win some free food. The boil is very flavorful and was great for my taste. It is very garlic heavy and we ordered medium spice and I would have labeled it as a “spicy” level, so if you’re sensitive I recommend going a level down. According to my other party members this sauce is on the sweeter side to many boils, but I was a fan. Highly recommend the garlic noodles as a side.
