    $12 basket with 2 fish and 4 shrimps Unbeatable price
    Thuy P.

    I don't know why I missed this place which is like 5 min from medical center, and has been here for a long time. Food was good and service was very nice . Glad that I tried it and definitely recommended. Price range is very reasonable

    Oysters on the half shelf
    Jose Alfonso S.

    Everything is GREAT! From the building boat facade, seating, drinks, seafood, ambience (tv's), staff, etc. You name it fried seafood hands down with broiled options now. It's a word of mouth type place were food will jot disappoint. Start of with an appetizer and live in to the main dish. Drunk are always cold and probably the best oysters in town. The place has been here since the 70's when the" Henimens" did this correctly. (May run into some pro players every once in a while.) Friday night might seem crazy but it's controlled kaos at uts best, people standing up passing around plates and enjoying each other company. Salud!

    Good deal on the gulf oysters. They were all tasty, but a bit on the small side. I ordered a half dozen and upon seeing them- and eating them all so quickly- I ordered another half dozen. $10 for 6, $15 for 12. Good deal! I ordered the shrimp and scallop kabobs. There were green pepper and onions and some sort of red powder. Upon tasting the first scallop, I found the flavor to be funky. I eventually determined it was the red powder. Possibly Old Bay? IDK. Anyway, I scraped the powder off the remaining shrimp and scallops and found them to be much more to my liking. I could taste them, and not the powder. To each his own. Next time I'll ask for that to be left off. Under the kabobs was some delicious rice. Cole slaw was good but small. Service was very good and the place was clean. I'd come back!

    It's a small restaurant but they do have good food and cold drinks. We opted to sit in the outdoor seating area just because it felt a little claustrophobic inside. Servers were friendly and attentive.

    Seafood plate to go

    Oh, so good Garlic bread, fried tilapia, fried jumbo shrimps, and french fries. Captain Benny's, has always been known for good, fresh seafood drinks, with a small, cozy environment, and the old fashion service, service with a smile.

    Great Great customer service food. What's on point the management Was awesome. They made us feel welcome. Like when you're sitting at home

My partner wanted to grab lunch here so we tried for the first time this place. We got a simple sandwich and elote which the staff said it should take 15-20 mins. We waited and waited it past 40+ mins and I went to ask. - First was that they lost our order number and they couldn't find it. - Second the manager began to say our order was taken by someone else and then that my partner grabbed it. Switching her words back and forth and not believing what we had said. I asked how did we grab our stuff if I still have the device to notify when our food is ready. - Third she completely stopped talking to us and went to go help at other customers. I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.

I will say this flavor particularly was a 5/5 for me. It was exactly what I was looking for (carbs, spicy Caesar salad...not hard to please). However, I haven't found myself wanting to come back even though I drive past this area pretty frequently. If I did come back, I'd probably just order the same flavor again because it was that good. The Zeppelin is very filling though and kept me good for 2 meals, I just think nothing else on the menu appealed to me (other than the Spicy Tejano) enough to steer away from my go-to sandwich/bowl places if the craving for that type of food ever came. The staff were super friendly though and parking wasn't terrible. I can see why they chose the location since it is a great lunch spot for people in the area tbat want something quick but don't wanna run into the mall/opt for fast food drive thru.

    This is a TINY Jason's Deli location tucked into a strip center off Bellaire near Stella Link. I…read morewas a bit surprised when it opened, because most Jason's Deli locations I've been into have quite a bit of space for people to sit and mingle for a while, but this is clearly more of a grab-and-go spot where they don't anticipate much lingering. I've only ordered from here a couple of times, always to go when I needed something quick for work, and I'll give them credit, they always have the food ready on time. I'd much prefer going to a larger location where you can sit more comfortably (they have like 4-6 small tables inside), so it won't be a place I regularly visit. I was going to go with just two stars because the tiny location and general lack of parking around lunch time make it a bit miserable to visit, but I had to give them a third star after my wife's family went there for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed being able to leave the nearby Starbucks and grab a bite to eat in proper chairs.

    I had read that this place was "smaller than other locations" like "1/4 the size of a Jason's Deli"…read morebut we didn't realize it would be THIS SMALL. Like, it's got 5 tables??? After googling this location, it was listed as a Jason's Deli-Express. (Well, maybe that should be listed on the front of the store). I always get Jason's Deli salad bar well... that's not here. And the kids love the free ice cream... I don't think that's here either. We didn't see it. If you go to Jason's for sandwiches, this place would definitely be ok. Baked potato, yes. Ordering an already made salad, yup. So unfortunately, we left and went to a "normal" Jason's Deli where I could have my beloved salad bar and the kids could gorge themselves on ice cream.

Fun fact of the day: a panuozzo is a sandwich made of pizza dough, and that's how they do it here too! The result is a crispy shelled bread with a soft and chewy interior-- a dream to layer on topping and devour :D ** Apple walnut burrata kale salad (5/5)-- despite lacking the sautéed cinnamon apples advertised in the description (the fresh ones were still yummy!), this salad was still madly delicious! Baby kale massaged in balsamic vinaigrette was topped with creamy burrata, making each bite a balance of acidic, sweet, and creamy. Definitely a good pick for burrata fans-- mmm, so good! We used the pieces of bread to sop up the sauces of our other dishes :) ** Vodka pasta (4/5)-- a simple but well executed dish with mezze maniche or a wider, shorter version of rigatoni. The sauce was creamy and flavorful and studded with pieces of flavorful, salty pancetta. It was served hot :) ** Maialino panuozzo (4.5/5)-- the bread was so delicious, as it was chewy and airy and held up well against the toppings. The porchetta was meaty, and I couldn't really discern the crispy eggplant or taste the spicy mayo, but I loved it; the overall flavor was mild and not too salty. MT thought it was too mild and said next time we would order something heavier sounding like the truffle sandwich. But he still enjoyed it, and I thought it was the best sandwich I've had in recent memory! Ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. :) ** Arancini (4/5)-- this fried risotto ball was dressed up and heated before served to us at the table. It's rich, hot, and creamy! Not much ragu or meat in the middle (more so cheesy rice), but it came topped with meat sauce. I'm not an expert, but these were really big and tasty to share. The man at the counter was very friendly and thanked us for coming. It was heart-warming to see him excitedly speaking Italian to an elderly couple walking in too. Definitely bring a jacket for cold windy days as there's a draft inside and it gets chilly whenever the doors open. Cotto E Crudo is going to be a hit in warmer months-- excited to return and try more of the menu!
