This place can get busssssy but its worth the wait! We always come here when we're craving a seafood boil, this is our go-to place. The Cap't Loui Special sauce is so doggone good, there's no other sauce we would choose. I highly recommend getting the corn, garlic noodles, or noodles in the bag as the sides. You will not be disappointed. Their adult capri-suns are also very delicious. They seem to be pre-mixed so there's no alterations allowed. I will forever recommend Cap't Loui and will always come back!

This is a great seafood boil spot , my wife's personal favorite. They also have $1oysters on Tuesday's. The seasoning in the boil is great and the garlic noodles have a lot garlic. The service is great and very accommodating. They have a bar and a few booths with music . Recommend if you're looking for a good boil.

This is a really good seafood boil restaurant! The flavors are definitely better than other local seafood boil type restaurants. Service was very attentive making sure our waters were refilled and if we needed anything. The only negative remark I would leave is when you order from the boiler section, it only comes with a single potato and corn. That seems very meagre for the price you pay. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant out!

Crawfish, Dungeness Crab (2Clusters)

This place is so good! One of the best seafood boil spots in Gwinnett! I love that this is the only place that has live clams, can't find them anywhere else unless I make them at home. The sauce is so good, add in some garlic noodles and it will always make your me perfect! Their oysters are also pretty fresh as well. You can't go wrong if you come here. I order from them on uber when I can't make it in to the restaurant and even then my food comes perfect with delivery. They also have fun adult capri-suns and a very well stocked bar.

Lunch hour seafood boiler ($14.95)

First seafood boiler resto that offers lunch special! There were 6 mussels, 5 shrimps and 2 boiled eggs in medium Cap't Loui sauce. The meat was fresh and the sauce was garlicky, but not too spicy even though it was medium. I also ordered garlic noodles, but the taste was kind of bland. Great portion for one person during lunch thoughm

Lunch Special and Garlic Noodles

Went on a Friday afternoon for the lunch special. You can pick 2 seafood and 1 side for $14.95 from 11:30-3pm on Mon - Fri excluding holidays. It is quite spacious inside and only a few tables were taken, but we had to wait longer than expected for our food. I got the clams and crawfish with Capt Loui seasoning, mild spiciness, and a side of garlic noodles. There were only a few pieces of seafood, so it wasn't filling but very good flavor. The garlic noodles are so simple but so yummy with the sauce!

Fish & Chips Basket

This place is packed. It's a cool little spot to get affordable seafood. And the waitstaff is super friendly and honest. I tried to order soft shell crab and the guy that was helping us looked at me and said do not get the soft shell crab lol. Truthfully, I think you shouldn't get anything that isn't part of the seafood boil. The fried items I ordered, the fish basket and po boy were very underwhelming. The fish felt overcooked and under seasoned. And I had to douse it in the remoulade. I did also get raw oysters which were good and apparently they do an oyster sale on Tuesdays so I will probably be back for that! Bathrooms were a little gross but I think it's just because so many people are passing through. They also have this handwashing area that was a little gross. Pretty good overall if you just don't get any of the fried baskets.

Garlic Noodles

My partner and I stopped by Cap't Loui's in Duluth yesterday (January 11) around 2 p.m. We enjoyed the food here previously and prefer it over the Decatur location but unfortunately, this visit was a rough one for us. We ordered our usual: garlic noodles on the side, with our main entree being crawfish, potatoes, sausage, and head-on shrimp cooked in the Cap't Loui sauce at a hot spice level. The food came out super fast, which even our waitress found unusual. While everything tasted good initially, things took a turn a few hours later. Both of us ended up with food poisoning. It's now almost 3:30 a.m., and we're still awake, suffering in serious pain. For a meal that wasn't cheap, plus a generous tip, this experience was absolutely disappointing. I hope management reads this review and is proactive in ensuring quality and safety remain top priorities.

Garlic Noodles
Kelly N.

Prices aren't always exact unless you're coming in for lunch or a sandwich because some of the seafood is by market price, but it's good! We generally get the boiler special B, so we can also get the garlic noodles as a side. A must have side imo. Can't go wrong with any seafood option, and we prefer medium to hot levels of spicy depending on the day and mood. Most people come for the seafood boil, but their po'boys are pretty good too. I've had the soft shell crab and calamari po'boys with lemon pepper fries before, and they really hit the spot! The lemon pepper fries help cut through the heavier cajun flavors, though we didn't order them this time around since we weren't as hungry. There's parking that's shared with the other places nearby, so it can be a bit busy. I've dined in a few times, but when we want seafood boil, take out is easier. It takes ~30+ mins most of the time.

You can also order noodles in the bag.

Cap't Loui is hands down my fav and go to spot for seafood boil. We've been coming here for years. Now come prepared to drop some money but the seafood boil is just too good here. Service has always been very good when we've come here. They are very helpful, patient, and accommodating. Even with our recent visit they were super wheelchair accommodating for my dad. We got to sit at a table that let him eat comfortably. Our server was so kind and awesome!! Big thank you for being inclusive and accommodating! It's pretty spacious inside and there's some booths and tables from the entrance to the bathrooms. Their seafood boil is consistent from freshness, size of the seafood, to flavor. This is what you should order Get The Boiler Special- Either Special A or B -sauce- Capt Loui at medium spice level -snowcrab legs- we always order extra. It's pricy but if you're a crab legs lover like us this is your place to get them -shrimp- head off -crawfish -garlic noodles and/or noodles in the bag- Soooooo good mixed with the sauce in the bag -corn -hard boiled eggs -sausage -potato -fries dipped in the seafood boil sauce is good too Also, their oysters are good here. On Tuesdays they have a special- $1 an oyster. They are located in a small shopping plaza near Golden Corral. The only downside, which no fault to Cap't Loui at all, is the parking sitch is sometimes not the greatest. The parking lot tends to get super packed during lunch and dinner times...especially on the weekends so come prepared to do a couple of circles around the parking lot to find a spot. If you love a good seafood boil that's saucy and just so delicious, this is your place!

This is the coolest spot in Duluth, Georgia. If you're in a hurry, I will definitely say you need to check it out. The food is good, not top-tier, but it is good in the COD Po-boy is definitely on point. Service is really in polite. In the atmosphere is welcoming and inviting., I can honestly say all are welcome

Let the good times boil~ Cap't Loui has fresh $1 oyster specials All-Day Tuesdays. Great service & ambiance. Their seafood boil is BOMB!! You have to get the Cap't Loui Sauce, it's FIRE!! They also have Lunch Specials as well. One of the best Cajun Seafood places with great flavors!!

Snow crab in capt loui special hot with corn and potatoes
Vina L.

My favvvv spot when I'm craving seafood! I love coming with my friends & family. The drinks are A1, I personally love their Long Island The chicken wings with the lemon pepper seasoninggggg OMG It's definitely different than any typical lemon pepper seasoning IMO. I love the Capt Loui seasoning, in mild. I love requesting Jinny as my waitress, she's the sweetest gal. Xoxo

Half pound shrimp, half pound snow crab, half pound dungeness crab!

We celebrated a birthday today with a party of ten…read more We arrived with a cake that they took for us and put in the refrigerator. The food was good and most of the meals served had a large amount of food. We were a bit disappointed with the amount of food on the Snapper plate we ordered. It was a $50 meal and other meals on the table had twice as much food and those were half the price. The cake was brought out at the end of our meal with clean plates and forks. We will be back to try other meals on the menu, as it was hard to decide today.

I'm usually super excited to go to Pappadeaux. Their parking lot is pretty nice-sized, so parking…read moreshould not be an issue. Our server was pleasant. I attempted to order the crab and spinach dip with the garlic bread like I typically do at other locations, and my server told me if I were to order it with the garlic bread, it would be an additional charge and I would only get two. I was shocked. I've ordered that and other locations, and that was my first time hearing that I would be charged extra to swap out the bread and then on top of that only receive two pieces. I ordered the Texas redfish pontchartrain with mashed potatoes. I asked if I could add cheese, and I was told yes; however, when it came, there was no cheese, and our server took so long to return, I didn't even bother. In addition, by that time I was already turned off with the bland fish that had several bones, minimal sauce, and overcooked shrimp. I was extremely displeased. I wish I would have just stuck with a fried dish, such as the chicken tenders and shrimp. That would be a safer choice. Both the fried shrimp and chicken tenders were pretty good, but know that they have a kick. The brownie dessert was pretty good. It was actually the highlight of the evening after a disappointing meal. I will never return to this location.

I am so glad that I found a new seafood boil restaurant that I can call my go-to New Orleans' style…read moreboils. Past by this restaurant all the time, but never had a chance to try it until I saw it on IG yesterday. Ended up ordering 12 lbs of crawfish right away with 3 different flavors and OMG...it's so good! My whole household loves it. The flavors just hit the spot. Crawfish was fresh, not frozen. Some were decent size and some were small, but every bite was worth it. I did tried to place the order over the phone to avoid the $7.50 online platform fee (unavoidable even if it's through their website or app), but they said that I had to order it online because it was my first time. I've also ordered it 3 hours in advance for pickup, but when we got there, we still had to wait another 15+ minutes or so. I prefer to have it waiting for me to just pick up and go as I was on a time crunch. That's why I set it up at a certain time. Overall, I had recommended this place to all my family and friends. I can't wait to order from them again sooner than later being that it's crawfish season.

First time and this will be my spot for crawfish. I called my order in and Armani answered and made…read moresuggestions. I got 3ilbs of Cajun crawfish with corn and broccoli as sides and we added the gumbo and boudin balls. Everything was fresh and delicious. The crawfish seasoned to perfection with a great spice level. The restaurant just opened and they were understaffed but Armani was awesome with her customer service. Great attitude. You guys have a great restaurant will be back.
