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!

It's been a long time since the last time I visited. My niece and nephew just got back from out of town and were craving for crab legs so we decided to eat here. For my family, I ordered the kids meal tender chicken, the boiler with 1lb of crab legs , and 2 Boiler Special A. The crab legs were firm but soft, sweet, juicy and fresh. I got them with the Cap't Loui sauce and it was delicious! The restaurant was clean and the service was good. They have a sink in the back for you to wash your hands if needed. read more

We got a 3lb boil with mussels, shrimp with head and without, and crab in a medium sauce. The pouches could have been sweeter and tasted strong. The sauce was surprisingly not spicy, it felt like a mild. Loved the show the waitress put on and she put the leftover sauce into a Togo cup for us. read more

We visit the Duluth location often, and every time we've received excellent service. Today, Daniel was our server and he was incredibly attentive and efficient. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and checked in on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We came in for Wednesday dinner and were seated immediately. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. The snow crab and shrimp were fresh, and the sauce complemented the seafood perfectly. read more

I've been looking for a place with flavorful seafood boils and here it is! With 4 people, we got 4 lb with snow crab, shrimp, and mussels in the Hot spice level. The sides were potatoes, corn, and garlic bread. It definitely was spicy but not so crazy that you can't eat it. The seafood just melts in your mouth. My favorite was the mussels. We get bibs and gloves. After being stuffed, we still had 1/2 lb of food left. Calamari was not that great, it should be crispy and instead it was soft. Service was ok because there really isn't much for them to do. Definitely will be back. read more

Pretty disappointed with our latest visit to Capt Loui. We visited on 4/5 and had a saucy, live crawfish boil. The crawfish were juicy and huge in size with great sized crawfish meat in the tail and claws. Came back today, 4/11, ordered 3 pounds of "live" crawfish and this is what we got. Bag hardly looks like it's 3 lbs. Super tiny crawfish. Did not seem fresh at all. Sauce was lacking. Our server claimed that both of our boils from 4/5 and 4/11 were from the same shipment in. Hard to believe. At $23 a pound, I was hoping for some consistency. read more

I order the "UGLY CRAB" with mild Cap't loui sauce.. and it was amazing!! The flavor and just overall a good idea to put the loose scraps (snow crab, dungeness ,claws, and body) in a bag for just $20 bucks . You can't beat that price. And It's a lot of it. Thank you to our server Lindsey! read more

The best seafood boil in greater Atlanta! The flavor is much better than Juicy Crab and the seafood is sooo fresh. The servers are always very attentive. If you're near Duluth or are willing to drive for good food--this is where you should go! read more

I love seafood and Cap't Loui is my favorite place for seafood. I come here often probably at least once a week but I just never really had a chance to do a review. Me and my friends come here often on Tuesday bc of the oysters special of $1 oysters on Tuesday. Most of the time we bring our own sauce " Lao crack sauce" to put on our oysters. We always get the Captain loui special sauce with our boiler combo. I always ask for extra sauce because I love to mix my garlic noodles into the bag with the seafood. Mixing your garlic noodles into the bag is a must try!! It's so delicious this way. The place is a nice place to go drink, eat and watch games. They have multiple TV's and a projector to watch sports! You can't go wrong with great food, drinks and some football!! Not like I drink alcohol like that but I sure do LOVE the green sweet tea! However, the service is really a hit or miss! Honestly, I prefer to have a male server when coming here. The females are a little snobby in my opinion. One time we came here and I ordered shrimp head on in my boiler Combo but the girl entered my order incorrectly. When the food came out I notice it didn't have the head. I waved her down and told her I asked for head on. She said no, you said head off. I kindly said no, I asked for head on...she had an attitude and pulled out her little sheet and clearly she even wrote down head on. I then asked, I'll kept it but can you charge me for the head on price ( its $5 a pound difference) she said no, if you want head on price then you need to get head on. She took my bag to the back and picked out all of the shrimps and brought me back the bag. Put in a separate order for the shrimp head on which made no sense. Anyways, I still go back because I love the food there. read more

We enjoyed Cap't loui! The ambiance is quite friendly and welcoming. The staff are helpful and attentive to ordering. We got the seafood boil with Cajun spice of snow crab, shrimp head on, sausage, and side of garlic noodles and Cajun fries. The spiciness was tasty! read more

I don't care what anyone else in GA says but Capt Loui is the best seafood boil place! My husband and I have been coming here for years when they were just Loui Loui and over the years, they've expanded their menu and just keeps getting better and better. We always order the same things and will add on different items if we're up for it. Our musts are a few pounds of crawfish, shrimp with head off, and snow crab legs. For the sides, the garlic noodles are a MUST! It makes a big difference with your meal. We also LOVE the lemon pepper fries! They discontinued the soft shell crabs as a side but those were the bomb too. I hope they bring it back. We hardly ever have room for dessert but we always make room for the funnel cake fries or the beignets! They're the best thing to end our meal. We love the Capt Loui style sauce and medium hot, for our seafood boil which is perfect to eat without us having to blow our nose often and drink water. lol The staff is always great and attentive and we love that our food comes out really fast. If you want the best seafood boil, don't waste your time going elsewhere and hit up Capt Loui! read more

Love the food Love the service Love the restaurant We love everything about Cap't Loui. Food is pretty good and we have tried couple dishes. Will return to try their lunch special. read more
This is a great place to eat when you are craving seafood, whether you want boil or fried. The restaurant is small but the food is enormous in tremendous flavor. The staff is great. I also liked how they have a sink station on the outside across from the restroom, so that if you are done eating, you can wash your hands instead of having to wait in line to use the restroom to wash your hands. The only con I have is the wait time for the food to come out but I guess when you want great tasting flavorful food you'll just have to sacrifice your time but you won't regret it. read more

SOOOO Delicious. I forgot how amazing their sauce is. It's like a little sweet and not too salty with tons of umami and flavor. I don't believe this is Cajun flavors it's more like maybe crab/shrimp paste? Anyways, i love this sauce and be careful when ordering spice levels because it does actually get spicy as you go up, and that's coming from someone who LOVES Spicy. SERVICE:: Decent, something weird going on when you order to-go i think but other than that im happy with the great service i normally get . What i ORDER : *$1 Oysters on TUESDAYS!!!!** *Dungeness, large meaty crab . good quality *King Crab, fair pricing and nice portion *Shrimp with Head ON : it seemed like some tiny shrimps go in this, its so-so on this one NOT YET To try is LIVE CRAWFISH!! , it's almost crawfish season baby!! read more

Food: BUSSIN! I think this is the best seafood boil I've had. Boil is so spicy n juicy i get scared it might squirt into my eye and leave me blind and I can't write Yelp reviews anymore But luckily I make sure to turn away when cracking to protect myself I initially didn't wanna go here bc my LDL came back high the other day at the Dr, but after trying it out, idc about my cholesterol anymore; I can die happy. Service: SWEETEST WAITRESS. I think her name is Suzy but not sure. The whole staff actually were nice. We were so annoying and needy. I asked for bibs, crab crackers, and gloves. The gloves were actually on our table disguised in a condom-shaped looking packets btw so don't look stupid like I did. Ambiance: clean place. Tables are lined with paper so we can guiltlessly be messy and chow down like animals. One critique tho: change yalls music!! Romantic music don't belong here when my face is stuffed w oil and corn stuck in between my teeth. read more
I have to say that this has been a great introduction for a new seafood boil enthusiast. First of all I have to say that the service at this Duluth location is absolutely amazing. Attentive care and smiling hospitality was a great welcome to this establishment. Now on to the food! For starters we got an oyster plate and they were good. I think they were a good price for 8 and the marinara sauce with the lemon juice complimented it well. I am no oyster connoisseur but I did enjoy it. Remember! 1$ oysters on Tuesday! We got the 3 pound combo where we chose 2 pounds of snow crab and a pound of crawfish with medium spiciness. And when I say the sauce makes the dish I ain't lying with this one. A perfect blend of spiciness, sweetness, and umami graces the dish and make sit worth every lick, bite, and taste. The snow crab was so subtly sweet and full of juicy delicious meat. The crawfish tail was ever so juicy and the head was full of a savory soup that you just have to enjoy. Finger licking good as some might say. I had the garlic noodles and eggs for the sides and I have to let u in on a lil secret that the boil is already accompanied by corn and potatoes already. Garlic noodles or rice are a good accompaniment for the spice of the stew!!! The messiness of the feast is accompanied by two plastic food handling gloves and a plastic bib which were quite handy in dismantling the seafood. Wonderful service and crazy good food read more

This hit a spot that I didn't even know I needed to be hit. Paired this with their thousand island-looking sauce and I ate every last bit of my basket. The price of their baskets are not too bad either! $13.95 for this basket pre tax/tip. I believe their boil is a bit more expensive. A couple friends did the boil, and while everyone loved their food, each person paid around $27 pre tax/tip. Sure, perhaps they had a bit more food than the basket, but this basket was definitely enough to leave me full. Service was attentive and patient with our party of 12! The boil orders took a while to come out compared to the baskets, but I heard it's because they make everything to order. Great seafood for sure read more
Although I've tried 15 seafood restaurants in the Atlanta metro area over a span of 5 months,I enjoyed Cap't Loui the most! I ordered a seafood boil that included mussels and shrimp, heat level-spicy, with cap't loui seasoning, I believe, Delectable, to say the least. Customer Service was top notch also. Ambiance was casual and relaxing. Prices were affordable. The margaritas were pre-made. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad. I just prefer to watch my bartenders concoct my drinks in front of me. 3 rating on drink experience 5 overall. read more

I've been a bit nervous about trying a seafood boil spot since leaving NYC and moving to ATL because most of my experiences, at various restaurants, have been with seafood that doesn't taste fresh or good. After 3 years, I decided to give Cap't Loui (Duluth) a shot and I am so glad that I did! I ordered the 1/2 lb head on shrimp and snow crab legs with their signature sauce at the hot level (next time I'll try very hot) and it was soooooo tasty! I ordered a side of garlic bread that was also good, although I personally prefer my bread to be a tad more toasted. There's currently a promotion going on where you get a free order of beignets when you write a review. Write the review! Also, the service is great! I will definitely be back! read more

We rarely eat Louisiana-style, but came here and really enjoyed it. The house sauce was amazing, the dining area was clean, and the TVs everywhere were a plus. This would be a great place to catch a game with some friends. There's even a bar inside..! Things you should know: I. PARKING This restaurant rests within a Plaza so the parking situation is free with a public, shared lot. Easy. II. SERVICE It was okay. We didn't know what we were doing and made that clear.. so we were seaking some guidance from the waiter. He didn't seem to be very helpful. Knocked my rating down a star. Love that they have bottomless napkins, bibs, and gloves to wear for all the possible mess you could make diving in. III. QUALITY Fresh, very hot, and of course ~ delicious. Definitely go for the house Cap't Loui sauce with your boil. You won't regret it..! IV. CAPACITY Plenty of available seating for a Saturday at lunch hours. read more

I ate here during lunch hours, and selected the lunch special, which includes two meats and a side. I got shrimp and crawfish with eggs and added corn. While waiting for my food, I went to the restroom. Surprisingly, they had a mouthwash dispenser, which I thought was so cool! When I came out of the restroom, I saw that my food had arrived and the bag was opened already; I'm guessing for presentation/setup, but I would have preferred to open it once I got to the table. It was pretty good value for the cost. The shrimp were a tad bit over cooked and difficult to peel, and the corn was very soft almost mushy. The good thing was the Cap't Loui sauce! read more
