So to start out I would give them 5 stars if the shrimp weren't so little, but when I tell y'all flavor on point omgggg. So my boyfriend ordered the fried shrimp basket and I ordered the shrimp with no heads, that came with potatoes and corn and I added sausages with the Louisiana seasoning. It was so garlicky, lemony and had a nice kick. I didn't order extra potatoes and corn because I was told it came with it, but 1 piece of corn and 2 baby potatoes for the price we paid I was a little sour about that. We also ordered 3 lychee adult Capri suns to go and it all came out to a little over $80. read more

This is the best spot for seafood boils. Great taste no matter what seasoning you get. Great portion size. The garlic noodles are the best thing. I eat this atleast once a week, not good for my mercury intake but my stomach is always satisfies. read more

My friend and I came here and shared a boil bag. We got two lbs of the king crab legs, a lb of head on shrimp, and since that was 3 items we chose a free add-on of mussels. The Capt Loui sauce was delicious with medium spice! The crab legs were already cut which helped us get the meat out easier without all the hassle of cracking them. The food was delicious and the service was great as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food and glad to find them open at 6pm on Christmas Eve. I left over $10 tip on a $46 bill and yet my card statement shows an overcharge! My handwriting is legible, so urging other patrons to compare their receipts to the statements and report any overcharges. read more

Honestly why can I count the amount of shrimp in the bag? Secondly why was only one out of the three bags were seasoned? I ordered 4 bags 2 crab legs and 2 shrimp. Only one bag out of the 4 was flavored. The other three bags were full of seasoning but no flavor. It was as if all they did was poor melted butter into the other three bags. The sauce was absolutely tasteless. I have tried countless seafood places never was I able to count how many shrimp were in the bag. My partner and I were shocked when all the shrimp out of the one bag was finished so I opened the other bag and counted. See picture attached I counted 12 shrimp. Every other place I go to sells it by the pound for the same price! Also the crab legs were scrawny. I do have to say however there house sauce in that one bag was good, a little to sweet for my liking but it was good. My advice to this restaurant do not go the cheap route it always comes back and bites you. Customers will not be happy & therefor will not recommend people. For reference I ordered takeout 5/8/2020 delivered around 7:15pm read more

Extremely poor costumer service. I used to be a loyal customer despite the high prices it is in our neighborhood and we try to support local. I spoke with the owner to ask for an extra very small sauce packet for my partner who loves spicy. He refused to provide this although it would cost him cents on a $140 order. I was taken aback by how rude he was on the phone. honestly read the reviews about the terrible service and find another place to go, this place is simply too expensive to have this poor or service especially to loyal regular customers. let's find another boil to support read more

Met up with friends and had the best meal EVER! They don't have their liquor license yet but that's ok. The manager is super nice. There was a minor miscommunication with our server but the manager made it better with a free group dessert that was unexpected and oh so good! read more

Always a pleasure when I eat there especially the oysters during happy hour dats from opening till 630

I had a great experience! I went on a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. We were seated and attended to right away. I predict if it's just, the service may get a little rough. We had the boiler combo in which you choose four items and get either lobster or crab legs free. We chose shrimp, mussels, snow crab and blue crab with lobster for free. They literally give a whole lobster! Which I thought was actually great for the price. It comes with corn and potatoes and we added sausage. The Loui sauce was great, mild was spicy enough. Three people shared this comfortably. We also had the shrimp basket with lemon pepper fries. The shrimp was great, crispy and well seasoned. The fries were okay, just lemon pepper seasoning slapped on McDonald's like fries. We tried the jambalaya (cup) too. I think it was pretty good. This dish is pretty hit or miss in most of these new seafood spots but there's was tasty enough. Overall, I'd return. I definitely want to try the drinks. read more

Blue crab and lobster were literally mushy and the clams had a lot of grit in them. Flavors were bland. The only good thing was the king crab legs. read more

I've been to a few places similar to here but this is probably the best seafood boil joint in NYC. The portions were good and the sauce used on the seafood was BOMB! We got the mild boil bag with crab legs, shrimp, oysters, corn and potatoes. So good! The funnel cake sticks were also very good. My friends devoured the entire dessert. I would absolutely be returning! read more

Two words, garlic noods. These were simple but stole the show for me personally. Give them a nice bath in the lemon pepper sauce, thank me later. Our group had the lobster, shrimp, crawfish, and mussel mix in the Louisiana and lemon pepper style sauce. Both were delicious but the lemon pepper was my favorite hands down. A for attentiveness, excellent service as we were constantly being checked in on and the bibs were a nice touch to avoid the splash effect. Would definitely go back if in the area! read more

This place! We ordered the garlic noodles and dipped them in the lemon pepper sauce that came with the shrimp which was fire. The fries and chicken wings were also really good. So happy we have a new amazing seafood spot nearby our apartment :) read more

Why am I giving it 3 stars? Because the server took my food and never put in my order until after I realized that i was there for 45 minutes and my food haven't arrived, not even my drink. I ordered the calamari basket which came with cajun fries....all was good except it was greasy . I got the Caribbean Blue drink and I liked it. Will i come again? Yes I will read more

Fish and shrimp good. But, the lowest quality fries. Hard and horrible. Cole slaw was on the fence but that's better.

It's Friday night. It's been a rough week at work. All you want is to kick back and get your eat on to start your weekend on the right foot. Look no further - Cap't Loui is your spot. Before I even get to the food, I have to highlight the attentive and speedy service. The servers were so efficient - if they saw your scraps bowl was full or your drink was low, BAM they were there to set you up with a new one. I also appreciated the bib and glove service right from the get go. Alright now on to the good stuff. Nothing brings together a table than a good ol' seafood boil - a total judgement-free, communal zone. Digging into your food and eating with your hands while spilling the latest tea. SO don't be afraid and get on in there. The messier the better! My table ordered the lemon pepper seafood boil and hot damn! Pro tip: peel your shrimps, order some garlic noodles and leave them in there for just a few seconds. Voila! You got yourself some bomb seafood pasta. (I just drooled a bit thinking about this) Cap't Loui is fine addition to the growing Clinton Hill dining scene, and I can't wait to go back and try the different flavored boils read more

I just spent the last hour cleaning up half-digested noodles, corn, and seafood and unclogging our bathroom sink with a Zip It because my husband is still violently throwing up (and has diarrhea) from food poisoning after eating a combo for dinner delivered by Doordash. It's not how I expected my Easter Sunday to go. I suspect the mussels were bad since they were served on the half shell and not with the full shell as is usual. Mussels that do not open are not fit to serve but since they were already opened and missing the full shell, it's impossible to confirm if the staff sent us mussels that they knew did not open when cooked. We have leftovers that neither of us is willing to eat since he's been throwing up for over an hour. I intend to call for a full refund tomorrow once they open at 3 pm. Thank God our sink and toilet are close together. He is laying down, sweating profusely, and has a mop bucket to catch the vomit. We have eaten here three times previously with no issues in 2019 (indoor dining in November) and 2020 (delivery in March) and 2021 (picked up takeout in January) and 2021 (this April Doordash delivery) but we only had the mussels one prior time. I made the cardinal mistake of ordering seafood on a Sunday despite many chefs warning everyone not to do it. read more

Ehhhh - new business but needs major improvements. 2 stars for the decor and pleasant attitudes. A lot of cons about this place: Full drink menu with prices and all, but no liquor license yet. But you do have the option to BYOB for now; Only offers 2 sauces and they cannot combine them. Ummm ok; They conveniently forget the "free" items and for all intents and purposes the extras you paid for also; Finally, the base sauce is just entirely too oily. It's just oil. There's so much room for improvement. Hopefully they'll make it because there are seafood boil places all over. read more

Wish this place served beer otherwise it would've gotten a solid 5. Really fun atmosphere, pretty decently priced, and the food was seasoned really well. I dunno how faithfully it is "cajun" but as a major seafood fan I can vouch for the fact that it's dang good. read more

I ordered from there back to back because the food was so good . I ordered snow crabs legs and shrimp and everything was seasoned well , my only complaint is the crab legs were a tad bit salty but overall I can say the food was great and i'll definitely be ordering again read more

Came last week with my sis after work. Quick service! Polite and attentive servers. The crab legs could have been a bit bigger and the sauce definitely had a kick but I'll get mild next time instead of medium. My favorite part was the funnel cake fries.

AMAZING!! Hands Down thee best right now in BK in my opinion. Definitely get your BANG for your Buck here!

While the food tasted magnificent i will complain about my order. I put in an order for snow crabs and they gave me blue crabs instead. I had a huge order so there was no way to check what was given. Next time I know to sit there and go through the bag before I drive off. read more

The menus was outdated. I brought the 4 item combo and wanted to get crab legs as my free item, it was no longer available. A whole lobster was the only option. Their Lemon pepper flavoring is the best!!!! read more

This is probably my 5th visit. Usually my experience here is great,unfortunately I had my worst fear come true today. I ordered the snow crab legs and shrimp with corn. Everything was going well till I realized there's small black dots/bumps on the crab legs. I thought it was spices at first but tried to move it ,look at it closely and they were small PARASITES. I was so disgusted. Going to have to give a call to the health department. Im very disappointed in them. I hope they do better in the future. read more

My friends and I ate here last night! The food was so good! Our plates were literally cleaned. The pasta was fire and the calamari were shaped like onions rings, but extremely delicious. The portions were more than enough for the 4 of us and we had leftovers. Dessert tho, funnel cake fries, absolutely amazing. My overall experience was great. I plan to visit this seafood joint again! read more

Some of the best seafood i've ever had ! It was fresh & packaged nicely & came with plenty of food. The sauce was to die for It is a little pricey but I can honestly say that it is worth it . Just the right amount of spice & seasonings. I will never get over that sauce. If I could give 10 stars then I would read more

Okay, it is with an extremely heavy heart that I give this review. I stopped in here on a Saturday night on a whim. I'd never seen the restaurant in the area and my father had basically encouraged me to try them because HE had heard they were good....okay sure, why not. I ordered the pick 2 combo (Snowcrab + Shrimp) in their mild signature sauce and chose the garlic noodles as my free side. I also added an extra side of steamed white rice. I received my order without incident. Now here's the problem.... When I got home, I immediately started digging through the shopping bag, laying out all my options and trying to decide what to taste first. I picked at the noodles, they were good & garlic-y. Next the rice, fantastic. Steamed & sticky. Okay, on to the main event. Firstly, opening the bag for the seafood released a heavenly scent. I stuck a finger into the sauce just to see if it was any good. It wasn't good....it was amazing. I peeled a shrimp, it was so good. I cracked open a snowcrab leg, the meat was tender and not over done. The sauce....OMG the sauce. I couldn't find enough things to put it on. The noodles, yes. The rice, duh! Rotated my corn in it before every bite? You know it. This is all sounding like an ecstasy filled pleasure meal so where's the problem? Let me tell you. I didn't notice it until I was on my third or so shrimp. I ordered the head on shrimp and it doesn't come peeled. Apparently it doesn't come deveined either! When I noticed the first shrimp still having the "poop line", you could imagine my dismay. I figured it was a fluke and grabbed another which also wasn't deveined. I'm 0 for 2 here. I grabbed ANOTHER shrimp and to my surprise, still not deveined. At this point I went through all the shrimp I had left in my bag and none of them had been deveined so at this point I wonder what the hell I had eaten the first couple of shrimp. Now, hindsight is always 20/20. Un-peeling the shrimp was a little difficult because it had seemed like the shell was vacuumed sealed onto the little guys and I couldn't figure out why it was so hard trying to remove the shell. Once I had realized that none of the shrimp had be deveined, it clicked. The shell was never cut open to allow the sauce, much less any air to pass through the shrimp making the shell stick like wallpaper to it and making it extremely annoying to get it off. It's a sacrifice I would've dealt with in the name of amazing shrimp but not in the name of shitty shrimp (literally). Rule #1 to running a seafood restaurant that serves shrimp is to DEVEIN THE SHRIMP! How hard is it to do this for customers willing to pay $50 and up on a single order. I couldn't believe it and honestly was more than a little disappointed. The rest of the meal was good but I wanted shrimp. I had a taste for shrimp. I looked forward to the shrimp I got but couldn't eat it. So I was mad at the shrimp (insert existential crisis here). It all started out good but when downhill quick. I'm willing to give them another try but I don't feel like I should have to tell a restaurant to devein my shrimp....I absolutely will but I really shouldn't have to ya know. Aside from the sad shrimp snafu (say that 3 times fast), I would absolutely order the rest of the food again without hesitation and I even saw on their menu that they offer adult Capri suns which I will be excited to dabble with in the summertime. All in all, they are worth a try but if you ever order shrimp, tell them to devein it first (weird). read more

Delicious delicious seafood boil!! All the ingredients were super, super fresh (I'm saying this because I definitely had terrible old frozen seafood from other places before)! And the flavor was amazing! Not too salty, not too spicy, just perfect. I could totally have this every week! read more

So Upon Arriving I Was Excited Because My SiSter Ranted About This Place. After Being Seated We awaited A WHILEEEEEEEEE Before being serviced, in which I'll give them a lil slack because they were behind on staff. Anywho, we ordered two pouch drinks we had to send back because the alcohol was non existent ! The food come out and oh baby I was excited for nothing. While the Louisiana sauce was awesome the quality of the seafood was horrible. I'll attach some pictures. Every crab I cracked was stuck to the shell and dried out. I even gave them a second chance in which I shouldn't have. I ordered muscles and received about 8 of them in a bag full of corn and potatoes. That was the end of them for me. read more

The food is Delicious I would recommend anyone their the price is good and the seasonings are awesome .. one thing for sure when ever I want sea food that is the place to go they are friendly and they always get the orders right read more

I'm giving them a 5! The food was amazing to me. We walked in Saturday night and sat down right away. The servers were super polite. More than generous with the napkins. I've been to places on Myrtle (I choose to leave nameless) and they will not give you more than one napkin. Wipe your mouth with your sleeve. Be my guest. But this place gives you a tray of napkins. The crabs were $25.00 it came with one red potato and a half of corn on the Cobb. Now every additional side is $3-$7. If you want to add shrimps to your crabs that's an additional $15.00. So you basically are purchasing two meals. Will they stay open long? I think so. Because they have service in the bag. read more
