    Lunch special - crawfish and ez peel shrimp
    Melissa G.

    Cap't Loui is worth checking out for the lunch special alone. At $15.95, it's one of the better deals around, with two seafood choices, one side, and a drink. The sauce is easily the star of the meal -- rich, buttery, perfectly seasoned, and honestly better than most other local seafood boil places I've tried. The shrimp and crawfish were decent quality and definitely hit the spot. The service was just okay. Nothing terrible, but not especially attentive either. The biggest downside is probably the interior. The restaurant itself isn't very old, but the booths and some parts of the dining area already look pretty worn down and could really use some repairs or updating. Overall though, the food and that sauce keep me coming back. Great value for lunch and definitely one of the better seafood boil spots in town.

    Cap't Loui is a fun place to dine in Vegas. The interior is nice, with nautical decor and several TVs. They have a great selection of drinks, including adult Capri Sun cocktails in a bag. I didn't try them, but the waitress shared that they are popular. The service was great, as was the food. I did deduct a star because I wasn't a huge fan of the boil sauce here. It wasn't particularly flavorful compared to other places I've been. It was also watery, in my opinion. Other than that, the food was good and it's pretty comparable in price and overall value to other seafood boil spots.

    Omg! 10/10. Went on 7/25/26 about 8:30pm and our server was amazing. I dont remember her name but she was great. It was my daughter's bday and first time ever having a seafood boil and she wanted the works and wanted to know how to eat everything and boy did she get a great lesson. Im so appreciative. The time, the service, the friendliness. You made our night, most importantly my daughter's night. Definitely a highlight of out trip from Los Angeles. We will definitely be back. Oh and the food was amazing. The taste, freshness, sauce. Everything was so good. Thank you again!

    I visited on a Friday night, and the place was at about 70% capacity. There were only two people handling the register, ordering, and serving, so they were incredibly busy. Fish & Chips: The texture was crispy and oily, the flavor bland. It came with ketchup, tartar, and thousand island, but no vinegar. Fries: Thin fries with a mix of both salty and sweet. 1/2 lb Shrimp Boil: This came with one potato and 1/3 corn. The flavor was just okay. You can only order by the half or full pound, and I wish they offered a combo option.

    The place was clean.. not busy.. the food was mediocre at best.. it was pricey, everything Ala carte.. the service was good though being that there weren't more than a hand full of tables taken..

    I'm actually surprised at the high number of reviews for this place. The food was.. fine. Nothing great. Everything lacked salt. The sauce on both seafoods was literally just butter and red pepper flakes. No flavor. We had to ask for salt. I had to ask for lemons and my seasoning was supposed to be "lemon pepper." It had zero taste of lemon. The clams had huge shells but tiny little bites. The shrimp were cleaned nice but again, needed seasoning. The rice also needed seasoning. The corn needed salt. The potatoes were blah. The service was fine. Nothing crazy. There are way better seafood "boils" in town.

    I do love me some fish and chips! And I was very glad when I found Cap't Loui's. It was super close to my house, and I wasn't really sure what to expect, although they had great Google ratings as well as great Yelp ratings. Place is super easy to find in shopping center. Ample parking, and nestled right in the center. You really can't miss it unless you're trying. When you walk in the door and look to your left, there's the captain and his pet grab ready to greet you. The place definitely has a seafood vibe, nuts on the walls, and just an overall rustic seafood type venue. Lots and lots of seating, tables, and booths, as well as a bar so all the bases are covered. Covered. Plus there are several widescreen TVs all over the place in case you want to look at something other than the amazing food they bring you. I ordered the captain's platter, which came with soft shell, crab, shrimp, fish, and calamari. I will say this, their french fries are top notch! And the sauces that bring out to you are second to none. My friends ordered the fish and chips plate which was huge! As well as the shrimp plate with sweet potato fries. I personally am not a sweet potato fry type person, but she said they were amazing and the shrimp worked perfectly cooked. I got to tell you, a majority of the fish and chips places I go to the fish and the fries can sometimes be greasy. This was definitely not the case here. The fish and all the other fried foods were super crisp and knock greasy at all. Honestly this will be on my list of places to go for sure! The bottom line? Hoist the sail and swab the poop deck because Cap't Loui's is definitely your go-to place for fish and chips. I am looking forward to going for oyster Tuesday and see how that fares.

    The music was bumpin'! Nothing like diggin into a bag of food, taking delicious bites all while jammin to some 90s tunes! We were visiting from Chicago and had a taste for seafood. This is not something you can do often, unless you have money to spend like that, but its worth it. Only my hubby and I shared a bag. Crab legs were a good size. My uncle had a Po Boy and my son had chicken and fries. Everything was delicious!

    Came here with my family of 6 and myself on a Sunday upon placing our order rice and noodles came in and then we were told they didn't have enough spoons or forks for us to use, my kids were eating rice and noodles with their fingers. I asked the server for disposable ones she said the had them but it was only for to go orders make that make sense you are charging us a automatic gratuity fee because we are 7 and you are more worried about the to go orders where most of the time you do not get tipped. Will not be returning to this place. It was a bummer because we were actually happy that this place opened around our home.

    This is the place to be on Tuesdays! They have a $1 oyster special. You can only order in half dozen or dozen increments, so at first I asked for a half and then a second. Service was quick both times. I ordered an adult capri sun drink and it was delicious, came in a festive pouch with ice cubes that lit up. The ambiance is pretty relaxed, there were a few other families dining there on a Tuesday night. Overall, a great experience, will definitely go back.

    I don't want to sound ungrateful or rude but I'm not sure how Cap't Loui's has a high standard for their food. The service was great from our server, the ambiance is nice, and the restaurant wasn't too crazy busy when we went in last night for dinner. We were excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews about the food and the service. We were seated immediately wnd were offered water to drink while we browsed the menu and caught up with family. Their restaurant has ample space; and the decorations are similar to other seafood boil joints, so pretty familiar. Their prices are decent, you can go during lunch time and get some good deals on meals, they have a chicken option if seafood isn't your favorite. You can get up to 4 proteins I think in a boil bag; so if you want to have variety it up then you absolutely can! Oh and you can also choose headless shrimp for an extra $2 in your bag versus head on like most places. However, the taste isn't there in the food. When you choose a boil bag, your server will shake it for you before setting it down in front of you, which I guess adds to the excitement. I got the fried fish and chips with the Cajun fries. My husband and father in law got the fisherman's platter, my daughter got the chicken sandwich and my brother in law got the boiler. The spice level for the boiler bag's Cap't Loui mild was lackluster. It needs more of everything! The shrimp was decent, wasn't overcooked; didn't seem frozen or anything like that. The chicken sandwich was the medium choice with Cajun fries- and the same, not really spicy. However, their chicken looked very freshly breaded and fried, and the presentation was great. Now the baskets, you get a 2 ounce cup of tartar, ketchup and another remoulade type sauce. You get plenty of fries with your order, (in all orders). I asked for lemon for my cod, which wasn't too bad. However, the batter didn't look or taste fresh. My cod tasted overcooked, or frozen for a bit then fried again unfortunately. The fisherman's basket was okay also. Nothing crazy to write home about, but the calamari didn't taste fresh or look fresh either. Overall, the service was great from our server, they kept our drinks refilled, checked on our table constantly and engaged with us while we were there. If the food was more flavorful, and seemed a lot more fresh or homemade, I think Cap't Loui's would do much better in business. They are in a great spot, and have the potential! But I wouldn't be back! The beignets were good.

    Came to eat at this Henderson location. Service is great. They are constantly checking on you. The lemon pepper has really good flavor and a fresh finish. The captain Loui sauce is very flavorful. I got medium and it wasn't too spicy. I've had medium at other places and it was Too hot to eat. We got a side of garlic noodles and it came with ample Parmesan cheese and I believe it was tossed in butter. Definitely do not skip on the garlic noodles. You can also add noodles to your bag, but I would not recommend that because I think it's soaked up too much of the sauce. I did ask for more sauce and the waiter was kind enough to bring my bag back and put more sauce on it. Wilson was our server and he was the best! He was super tentative, nice, and was working really hard! I would definitely come back to try more things.

    We came here looking to put a dent in seafood boil and for the most part a huge success! It's a nice space and can accommodate probably 100 people. No issues inside, it was nice enough and we were seated quickly without a reservation. Here is the meat and potatoes of this - the review. As far as the seafood boil, amazing, we destroyed a whole Dungeness crab, 2 pounds of crawfish, and a pound of clams in hot sauce like it was nobody's business- so good! As far as the chicken wings...they were ok. The fish and chips...hard no probably the worst I've tasted. I would compare the fish and chips to chucking a microwave dish, or your keys, the cat, laundry, into the oven at 3am after a bender. They will all taste the same I'm guessing, just not good. If you come here - the seafood boil is wonderful along with the garlic noodles simply fantastic. Pass on the rest and you will thoroughly enjoy.

    Do you do oyster specials on Tuesday like the Summerlin location?

    Hi, Yes we do!

    I don't see this whole lobster special on the menu. Is it every day and why is it not on the menu?

    Hi, thank you for your inquiry. Our Lobster special is grand opening promo. Offer will end mid October. You can order it at the store. Limited one per person!

    Do yall have malt vinegar for the fish and chips?

    Hi! Yes we do have Malt vinegar.

    Is the $20 whole lobster special per pound or for the whole lobster?

    Hi, Each Lobster weights from 1 to 1.25 and they are $19.99 each. It comes with 1 corn and 1 potato. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question!

Everything was hot, fresh, and seriously delicious. Every bite lived up to the hype. The chefs kept everyone entertained, cracking jokes and making the whole experience fun while they cooked. You can tell they love what they do, and it really adds to the vibe. The wait is definitely long, but now I understand why. Great food, great service, and an overall unforgettable experience. I'd happily stand in that line all over again!
