You can never go wrong with a good seafood boil. This restaurant is located in a great plaza with other various food options around. I've been here a couple times, once for a takeout order, and the most recent visit with my friend. My friend and I were promptly led to our table and our server came directly over to explain the menu. I went with the 1/2 pound snow crab and 1/2 pound no head shrimp with sausage as my side, while my friend ordered the shrimp, mussels, and boiled eggs. Our bags came out after about 5 minutes and we dug in. I love how a corn and potato is included, however I wish it was multiple small potatoes instead of one big one and that the corn was a bit larger (but that's just me being picky). I had the Cap't Loui mild sauce which was the perfect flavoring and heat for me. I would definitely suggest this place for anyone looking for a tasty and affordable seafood boil.
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.
Shrimps was the only tasty thing everything else was not that good. Inside looks decent and clean. Service was good. I wouldn't recommend getting crawfish from this place.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
Very solid place in Duluth for a seafood boil! They have a bar area, and they usually have many patrons, so the atmosphere is very nice. I went on Tuesday, where they had $1 oysters, and everything was delicious. The service was perfect, and we were checked in on frequently by the waiters. The one thing that stood out the most to me was their fries from their wings basket combo. The fry seasoning and the sauce it came with were delicious. I've also had their $15 boiler deal during lunch on another day, and that meal combo is pretty worth it as well. Definitely come visit. read more
This is my favorite seafood boil restaurant. They always have great service, quality, and fresh seafood... even better than high priced steakhouses in downtown or midtown ATL. We usually order crawfish, live lobster, shrimp, and crabs with their hot spicy sauce. Their draft beer selection isn't bad and price quite reasonable compared to what I'm used to in Midtown. $1 oyster on Tuesday is a great deal, and they are tasty. read more
For a party of two, the portion size was just right--not too little and not too much. We also ordered the garlic noodles, which are our absolute favorite! The service is always great here, which is why we keep coming back. read more

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! read more

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 read more
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!! read more
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 read more
MY FAVORITE SEAFOOD BOIL SPOT IN THE WORLD. I fly from California to visit my parents and I always look forward to eating at Cap't Loui with them every single time because I absolutely love their seafood boil. I usually get crab and shrimp (including potato and corn) with their calamari and garlic noodles. The sauce is chef's kiss and the service is amazing - the workers are usually so kind to us. The ambiance is lively and busy because people know it's the best! I will never stop loving this restaurant. read more

Fast and Friendly service! Always come here instead of juicy crab lolz. Overall atmosphere was welcoming and clean :) read more
My friend took me this place because my friend thought I really going to like this place. My friend was right. I loved this place. I love Cajun food, I eaten Cajun food a lot so definitely I can tell you that this place was one of best Cajun food. We ordered lobster and shrimp head on with sausage with garlic noodles. They Cajun sauce was amazing like New Orleans. This place reminded me New Orleans Cajun food. They service was very accommodating. Very friendly and very quickly serve my food. Modern place and very clean place. But I hope restrooms was more clean. I would recommend this place to anyone whoever around this area. I will definitely go back this place again if I have plan for travel to this area again. read more
It was pretty much a full house coming in - thankfully, we were able to get seated immediately. Interestingly enough, although there were a lot of people it wasn't very loud in there. They had tv and music playing but it was so light. It was very nice to have the background noise but be able to talk to people without shouting. Service was great. Joy was our server and she was definitely a joy to have. She was so friendly, happy, and attentive. She made recommendations and after ordering them even followed up to see if we enjoyed it. Food 1lb shrimp head on cap't loui in extra hot. It comes with corn and potato. Sauce was good flavor wise but where it could improve is more of it, spicier (considering it was a extra hot), and hotter temperature wise. Wings basket Surprised they did not have any wing seasoning options but offered fry seasoning. I enjoyed the lemon pepper fries and they give you a lot of it but not sure the basket is worth getting overall for what is given. read more
Ok y'all. This place is awesome! For anyone who hasn't discovered it yet, drop everything and go - you won't regret. I stumbled upon Cap't Loui when one of my girlfriends suggested we come here for a weekend lunch. We shared some seafood boil and a seafood platter so I was able to sample evraaaayyythannggg and it was so delicious! I was so impressed with the food that I ended up introducing some picky coworkers to this place a few days later, then they wanted to bring more picky coworkers here, and that is the story of how I ended up dining here 3x in 2 weeks. The lunch special is ahmazzzing! I really hope they don't realize what an incredible deal this is and decide to go up in price because that's how great this is. So, listen - for lunch, at $12.95, you have your choice of two options: seafood boiler special OR a fried basket special., If you order the seafood boiler, you get to choose TWO seafood and it comes with a side AND soda! Like, holy crap. The fried basket special comes with fries and a soda for the same cost. The lunch special is available 11:30 - 3PM Monday - Friday excluding holidays. I have tried most everything here but I keep going back to the OG: the seafood boiler. My typical lunch order is shrimp and mussels with cap't loui seasoning, medium spicy and garlic noodle. The garlic noodles come on the side and they're awfully garlicy and cheesy, so I typically strip all my seafood, scoop sauce using my mussels shells, and make another pasta dish with the order. It is SO GOOD. My picky coworkers have all raved about the shrimp and fish. I've had both and they were fresh, fried well, and delicious. PRO TIP: ALWAYS order the lemon pepper fries. Their lemon pepper seasoning is incredible. Ambiance is fun, as you would expect from a hands-on seafood restaurant. It's a very clean establishment and although they are usually busy, I've never had a long wait. I also appreciate having handwashing sinks outside of the restroom so you don't have to take up a restroom to clean your hands. Service seems to rotate - I see a new face serving me EVERY TIME, but that new face is always attentive, smiling, warm, friendly. Now I've got most of my coworkers hooked - it's your turn. read more
My favorite seafood boil spot in town! The king crab here is the BOMB! I couldn't recommend it more. I would pick this place over juicy crab any day! I kill atleast 2pounds just by myself so come prepared to spend some money to get full, it's definitely worth every dollar! The garlic noodles here are the cherry on top Service is good, we've never had a bad experience, i recommend calling to see the wait the weekends! As for the ambiance, it's super chill vibes. read more
