Funnel Cake Fries

The place totally brings the seafood boil vibe. I love the back room with the rooftop. You get to enjoy the outdoor without being outdoor. Music was wonderful too. The seafood boil was flavorful and delicious! We had their signature flavor " Cap't Loui". I was told the lemon pepper is just as good. I had the fish sandwich and Cajun fries. It was superb. Finally, a seafood boil closer to home. The server, Miguel, was nice and friendly. He didn't rush us and explained the dishes since it was our first time.

This food continues to hit the spot! Come hungry as the portions are generous. A half pound shrimp with corn, potatoes & sausage is sure to leave you feeling stuffed. The flavors are on point & the atmosphere & vibe is chill. Definitely with a visit. Parking lot across the street, lunch special m-f with reduced prices, bring a shot to add to their non alcoholic drinks & get a couple warm beignets to end a delicious meal!

The holy grail of Seafood boil spots! Walked in to celebrate a graduation and the place was empty, clean and inviting atmosphere, our host was so friendly that we ended up ordering all his recommendations and EVERYTHING was 10/10, house sauce medium spiced 4 lb combo with mussels, king crab, clams, calamari and shrimp was blissfully delicious! Raw oysters were fresh and their cocktail sauce is tasty! They make a fire garlic noodles that is a must have. Their lunch special fried calamari and fries are fried to crispy perfection. Their Shirley temple Cap lisun drink is wonderful, I especially like that it was not syrupy. Highly recommend. I am no longer a hook and reel fan.

came here for a mardi gras event i hosted! the staff was incredibly welcoming and organized. we were a loud group that was a lot to handle. we also made a big mess. $1 oysters were delish. decent size & cleaned well. id come back for these on a tuesday. only complaint was the shrimp poboy. i dont think this is the right sauce that they put on top, it threw off the whole sandwich. i also wish the shrimp batter had some spice in it. it was more salty if anything. the cajun and regular fries were good, but hard to tell the difference. we think one tasted sweet. buy one of these juices in a pouch! these are so sweet but fun to drink out of because they also light up. PS bring some rum to spike your drink. parking across the street in the paring deck is free after 7.

Oysters

Exceptional. Delicious. We came in at about 6:30pm on a Tuesday (shout out to $1 oysters!). Two of us, we were seated and served right away. Miguel was so nice and friendly. Everything came out really good. I enjoyed every part of dinner. The garlic bread, the 2lb broil of shrimp, heads off, and lobster, house sauce with heat level hot (I'll be back for more) and the shrimp po boy with fries were all so delicious. The table and restaurant were nice, we were seated at a table that could've easily seated 4 so it was nice to have the space, especially because this place is byob so we had our drinks we put there. I did see the establishment also sells their own non alcoholic drinks that one can add their own personal taste to it. I will definitely be back soon !

Came here for a Mardi Gras Dinner and it was fabulous! Love the fact that you can bring your own Rum and mix it with the Capri-Sun pouches of juice they have -- very smart! I had the 2 piece boil -- lobster, shrimp, and sausage and some oysters that were at a $1 each, so I had too. I went with the mild sauce because I was informed it can get spicy, and I'd agree -- the heat level was perfect. They had great service, accommodated a table of 6, and I would definitely go back.

The Capt Loui sauce was amazing, just the right amount of heat. Got the snow crab, clams, calamari and shrimp. Along with the garlic noodles it was the perfect meal. Server was amazing, very friendly and helpful. Also BYOB, so the meal along with a bottle of sparkling wine was just lovely.

My goal is to visit every Cap't loui in the NY/NJ area and report back to Yelp with which one or which ones are my favorites. The seafood at this particular location was fresh and did not taste dried out like other seafood spots I've been to. The waitress was so nice, she offered complimentary rice for my 1 year old who seemed to have enjoyed it *judging by the mess he made* The area seems to be like an integrated township with many small shops nearby. Definitely will be returning.

Food was great, service was good but our server was a little slow but she did come back a few times to apologize as she was pulled a few time to sing happy birthday to other patrons. We were charged $6 for a cup of sauce when asked for a side of sauce instead. The restaurant was split into different sections and had trees in the ceiling, something I never seen before. And the beignets were delicious!

I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile now and we finally had the chance. It's BYOB, we ordered the Mr Rich & Pina Colada and added or drink. Both were very good, a little sweet but tasty. I had the snow crab boil, the seasoned sauce (Cap't Louie) was really good but the crab wasn't seasoned. Hubby ate the Shrimp Po Boy and said it was good. Also I only had one small corn and one potato in the bag. The regular fries were bland and the calamari not so good. The waitress was very attentive though and we enjoyed the music selection. A cute little date night to just chat maybe and have a drink.

Everything was delicious for brunch. Perfect fries and sandwich. It's family run, so it might take a bit longer than a chain, but it's worth it. Our waiter and owner came over multiple times to introduce themselves, offer water, and to see if we needed anything. Excited to try the menu.

One thing I always look for when eating at a restaurant that specializes in food from a specific…read morecountry is whether people from that culture are dining there too. At a Thai spot, I expect to see Thai people. At a Mexican spot, I expect to see Mexicans. You get the picture. So at this Haitian restaurant, there are always Haitians enjoying the food -- which tells you everything you need to know. If you're looking for an upscale yet still authentic Haitian restaurant, this is it. No matter what you order, they always start you off with a soup that's hot, rich, and flavorful. I usually begin with the Haitian caviar and smoked fish empanadas, then move on to either the Saveur Creole goat or the red snapper -- always with extra gravy, because I can't resist pouring it over their black rice (don't judge me). It's BYOB, so bring your drink of choice or grab something from the shop right next door. Another thing I love is that the owner, Robert, is usually there. He'll stop by your table, talk with you, and make the meal feel like a real experience. And if you admire the artwork on the walls -- he painted all of it himself. If you go, tell him I sent you... maybe then he'll finally sell me one.

( FYI it's a great idea bc your guest just walk up place their order and receive hot food. It's paid for by the person having the party so no money is exchanged and there's no cleanup.) I tried several different dishes that were very good. My favorite thing I ate was The Fried Chicken, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwich. My Chicken was hot and had a good coating on it which made it very crispy. It wasn't greasy, and had just the right seasonings. It was served on a french baguette with lettuce, tomato, pickles and a nice remoulade sauce I tried their Shrimp n Grits. The grits were creamy, and the shrimp had a nice spice but not too spicy. The twist was a wonderful accompaniment of Andouille sausage., which had a nice spice. This added another layer of flavor for an extra punch. The next thing I tried was the wings. There were several different kinds and boy were they good. Just the right amount of herbs and spices. The sauces was a bit messy being in a costume for the Halloween Party , but the flavors were outstanding.... The last thing I tried was The Jambalaya. The rice was moist and all the flavors came together to make a wonderful dish. Everyone was extremely happy and enjoyed all the food. I was full, or I would've tried more dishes. If you see TFQ Food Truck I would recommend giving them a try.

My friend and I adored coming to this restaurant, which makes this experience especially…read moredisappointing. Last week I went with 2 friends. This restaurant has good boils at reasonable prices which is we liked the idea of eating dinner there. We ordered 2 drinks , 1 soda , two $29.99 Cajun boils , a $15 crab sandwich. The food and atmosphere were good at first. One of my friends had never eaten any seafood boil. So this experience was exciting for us because we thought she would end up loving it! While receiving their boils, my friend realized her boil didn't include the cluster snow crab legs that come in other boils from the "Our favorite boils" section. We didn't have any menu in hand but we asked our waitress if we could add a cluster of those crab legs that comes with the other boils from that same section. She immediately said, 'Yes, of course,' and ran to put in the order. When she came back she brought out a bag with crab , 1 corn, and 2 potatoes. The 1 cluster of legs she brought weren't enormous or noticeably different to us, so their appearance gave us no reason to think we'd been served a much more expensive type of crab. When the bill arrived, we discovered she had added KING crab legs for an additional $160. We had not requested KING crab legs. When we questioned it, she said we had specifically asked for them, which we did NOT. At no point before serving them did anyone tell us it was a king crab leg . Nor that the add-on would cost $160. We had chosen $29.99 boils. It makes NO sense that we would then add an item worth $ 160 . We asked for the menu to see what sort of mess went on. We saw the menu lists snow crab legs at $21 per cluster, while king crab legs are marked 'market price.' We would NEVER have agreed to a $160 add-on if we had known. After a LONG discussion, the manager Eventually decided to take $80 off the bill for the situation. The discussion was very long... We did not like the service at all, especially the server fabricating what was actually said. In top of everything else, we were infuriated that the tip, remained the same throughout the entire situation & we did not like the way we were serviced . When we questioned it they advised that that is just how it worked there. The tip didn't match the total. The $50.89 automatic service charge stayed exactly the same on the revised receipt, even though the food subtotal dropped from $282.72 to $202.72. *** The menu says the service charge is 18%, so I would have appreciated an explanation of why it was still calculated on the original amount. What would have happened if we hadn't had the money to cover an unexpected aditional $ 160 charge? Customers should be able to decide whether they can afford an item before it's brought to the table. What started as a nice night ended with us feeling misled and having to argue over a charge we never knowingly agreed to. Please confirm the item and price with customers, especially when an add-on costs $160. Although I DONT expect anything further to be done about our bill Because I have yet to receive any reply from their direct online forum. Everything here was a let down. What I do hope is that this makes other customers aware because clearly no one else will advise them before hand & they will have to be left fighting over it at the end. I do NOT recommend.
