    Cap't Loui is located in the same parking lot as H-Mart, so parking can get tricky. The inside is kept clean, and they offer a care station where you can find different things to help you enjoy your experience. They are pricey, and some portions are small. Service for a party of 7 (4 adults 3 kids) was okay during a semi-busy hour. Lemonade pouch was $6, no refills. Cajun fries were good in flavor and crispy. The portion is small for an $8 price point. The seafood boils were also a little more expensive than other seafood places, but the size of the shrimp made it worth it. The flavor of their boil sauce was really flavorful! The mussels they offer are green mussels, and their texture was a bit tough. So was the corn on the cob. Fish and chips are made from cod, but this lacked a little flavor, and the portion is small for a hungry adult. Garlic noodles are plentiful and good in flavor but a bit dry. The fried shrimp basket was fresh, crispy, and delicious. Funnel cake fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall this place was enjoyable and I'd consider coming back with a smaller party.

    Cap't Loui is right next to the newest H Mart in Dallas on Royal Lane. They also have a location in Carrollton. I would like to review in the future. When it comes to dining, I knew my aim was to get the lunch special so I could get an assortment for a great price which I was able to do. The lunch special comes at $18.95 you get your choice of 12 items total, six of two seafood items. Also you get a side dish. For my choices, I had the head on shrimp, and crawfish, with the famous garlic noodles as my side. I called my order in, and was answered quickly & graciously by a staff member. A male staff member took my number quickly, and was helpful waiting for me a bit to share what I wanted. Upon arrival, the staff had some instrumental music playing, and the restaurant was a bit dark, but it was nice. I think that the tone of the lighting elevated the look. The woman working the front immediately knew who I was there to pick up for and handed me my order in a lovely large insulated bag which I appreciated because it kept my meal warm on my drive back home. When looking in the bag a bib and gloves were thankfully provided too!! The food was filling, and pretty good. However, I will say it's not as tasty as something I feel I would get in Atlanta perhaps. I was really looking for a seafood boil that I felt could rival Georgia. I wouldn't say this is it, but for where we are in Dallas. It's definitely one of the best I've had here. I got the spice level at a medium, with the Capt Loui blend which is an assortment of all the flavorings offered. I would up the spice next time, it was simply a hint not enough to get my nose running which can be expected from the name. There also wasn't a lot of the seasoning in the bottom of the boil which I didn't anticipate? The garlic noodles were my least favorite item; typically I prefer them more buttery and cheesy, These tasted greasy, and had a sprinkle of cheese they were garlic heavy though which is appreciated. Like I mentioned I plan to try to Carrollton location as well but overall this is good, if you have a hankering for seafood at a reasonable price point I would go.

    I had been craving seafood for some time, and since we were checking out the new H Mart instead of our usual one in Carrollton, we noticed this place next door and decided to try it out. I'm so glad we did because it did not disappoint at all. The service was really great, the restaurant was very clean, and it had that typical seafood boil ambiance, but much cleaner and nicer. We ordered the Fisherman's Basket, which had a delicious variety of fried seafood, including soft shell crab, which you don't see often. We also got 3 lbs of seafood boil with snow crab and shrimp, and it was so good. The sauce was delicious, it was the Capt Sauce Mix. They also had some nice mocktails, which were fun to try, and we even got a free dessert for doing a review. This is definitely a great spot and a new favorite for seafood cravings.

    We stopped by during their grand opening weekend. The space was clean & spacious. We tried their crawfish, head on shrimp, & snow crab with the capt' loui sauce. We got it with a hot spice level & it was pretty spicy, but manageable. The crawfish was pretty big & the sauce was good. The seafood market prices are little higher than most seafood boil places. If you get one of the boiler specials, it comes with sides, so it ends up being around the same prices as other places. Also, each order does come with one corn & one potato already. Right now for their grand opening weekend, if you order 4 pounds of seafood, you'll get 3 sides, unlimited garlic noodles, & free cluster of snow crab. It's a lot of food & a pretty good deal. Our server was very nice & the service was good. They still need to work on some more things, but overall I did enjoy my experience here.

    I'm an oyster lover and boy did I love these!! I saw this reel on Instagram about how they had $1 oysters on Tuesdays and the oysters were nice and juicy. I wish they had the mignonette sauce but lemon juice and hot sauce was just as good. I also got the garlic noodles and mixed some of the sauce from my seafood bag with the noodles and it was fire. I will definitely come back and I would recommend this place. The ambience is nice and service was great. Our waiter was very attentive.

    If you're craving a seafood boil in Dallas, add Cap't Loui to your list. The seafood was fresh, the seasoning was packed with flavor, but let's talk about the sauce because I am OBSESSED. Honestly, the sauce might have been my favorite part of the entire meal. The customer service was amazing. Our waitress' name was Abby. She was great!!! Definitely will be back.

    Joined the wait list and was told it will be 40 minutes. We showed up a little after 40 minutes and asked how much longer. They said, oh, we can seat you now. They never bother to call us to let us know the table was ready, as they said they would when we first got there. We proceeded with sitting down. Service took a long time. We ordered 1 lb crawfish and 1/2 lb shrimp, seafood platter and a couple drinks. $20 for 1lb of crawfish is very over rated but my husband loves trying everyone's boil. The flavor was good. The seafood platter was $26. Overly priced and not that great of a tasting in my opinion. The fried calamari was over cooked. Maybe the high price menu is due to location.

    BEST FRIES - The seasoning is kinda like wingstop

    I'm not sure what they put in the sauce, but I have never craved a seafood Boil like I do with them my boyfriend and I couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night. The sauce is not salty at all, a tad sweet with a little citrus. I can't explain it, you'll just have to try yourself!! Order rice on the side to pour it on top. My only complaint is the garlic noodles are a little dry, and crawfish price is a lot higher than others. So I would just stick to Crab!

    Good food. Great service. Solid place overall. Deb, our server was absolutely wonderful. She is such a sweet lady. Garlic noodles were good. Shrimp were big! They are attentive and friendly.

    Was looking for an unpretentious steakhouse while on a work trip and Yelp came up with Kenny's so I…read morethought I'd try it out. I. Was. Blown. Away. Our server, Jorge was amazing and treated our table like the most important in the room. I'd mentioned I'd never been there and budgeted for a French onion soup & steak sandwich and he made sure I got a sample of the cheese balls and the pork crostini as well. And the bread. Yum. I walked out of there wanting to try all of Kenny's restaurants... and I will certainly do so when I head back to the area. One of the most amazing food adventures of my life. Truly. And it looked like a place that was torn out of a book on neighborhood bars. Beautiful.

    Steakhouse Review #7: Kenny's Woodfire Grill. Made a…read morereservation for 7:30 on. Friday and waited about 10 minutes. The place was busy, fairly dark inside, and tightly sat. We were given a table in the side bar room by the food runner. If you know anything about me, you know Kenny's Italian is my favorite restaurant in the DFW area. I love it. So, we were excited to try this Kenny restaurant as the expectations were high. Spoiler alert: not so much. As always, the service at Kenny's was impeccable and the best we've had thus far. Our server was so friendly, attentive, and just so damn nice. After being told it was our first time there, she brought us some tenderloin crostinis and crispy fried Brie (with raspberry chipotle sauce) on the house. The Brie recipe was so damn good it made me cry. Yup. The crostinis were decent. The bread brought beforehand was fun but too eggy. We ordered a filet, the beef short rib, potato cakes, mac & cheese, brussels, and asparagus. Everything was just okay. The filet was good and tender but saucy and the short rib was okay. Both had unique flavors and good but not that special. The potato cakes were basic and neither of us liked the smoky mac with chunks of ham in it. The asparagus were hard and some of the worst we've had. The brussels were unmemorable. It seemed like everything had a smoke hint to it and it wasn't our vibe (should have known with woodfire in the title). But those Brie balls and service...almost made it all worth it. Overall, we most likely wouldn't return and will just stick with Kenny's Italian which is true perfection. Our bill was around $110 and we tipped $60 for a total of $170.

At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.
