Cap't Loui - It's seafood time - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

This has to be the first place I've been to that doesn't have a waitlist for tables. The waitlist is you standing in line watching people eat instead of going outside, waiting in the car until you get a notification. I have eaten at this location before. The food is good. But it's wild that we have to wait in line for a table. read more

3 stars for the Lobster Roll. Otherwise everything was great. Lobster Roll: Weak and overcooked. But it's $5 cheaper than most and you get fries. Bun needs toasted. This is a chain style lobster roll. I would go for the boil instead. THE FRIES THO: Just get the Cajun fries. What is this seasoning and how do I bathe in it? Honestly, this saved the meal. Lemonade: Pretty good, very sweet, I added water. Service: They look like young servers that don't want to be here on a Sunday afternoon (fair enough) but were VERY kind. read more

Cap't Loui - Lobster Roll - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

Excited to try as a seafood lover. Left astonished at the lack of care or service and will never return. Service is king. -our party of 5 walked in, we were seated and then ignored. No one came to check on us, give us water or so much as acknowledge us. Not many ppl there. After such a long (enough) time, we looked around at the employee who was folding napkins and asked if we could get help. She replied 'I don't wait the tables' or something to that effect. The better answer would have been - let me find someone who can help Left for Aloha crab - a vibe and great food. Final thought: BYOB should be noted online, not just in the window after you show up read more

Got take out here a couple weeks ago. the food was tasty. I like the garlic sauce more from here that other Cajun crab places I've had. parking is plentiful at the strip mall. read more

Quick bite to eat... I know, I know, but I played it safe for the first visit. Chicken Tenders & Lemon Pepper Fries w/Coleslaw w/Berry Juice Felt like a big kid w/the adult capri-sun. Didn't miss the liquor, BUT it would've added a lil umph Took the food To-Go. But the staff was pretty chill and nice. Can't wait to go back and get the seafood. Might try the Qns location since it's a lot closer to me. read more

I'm not much for a boil, but let me tell you this place made me a believer! From the amazing garlic noodles to the homemade lemonade, this place has it all! It is BYOB, but the food totally makes up for it! Funnel cake fries were too good & the boil was perfection we picked the lemon pepper sauce so addictive ! read more

This place is great!! The restaurant is a nice small addition to the ton of spots on 22. We were seated immediately on a Saturday night and it wasn't packed but a nice amount of tables were taken. The seafood came out quick, fresh and hot. Very very flavorful. Definitely at the top of my list for seafood boils. Nothing in Union/Springfield compares. My only issue was that the lobster tail isn't cut prior to it cooking. So when it comes cooked the green stuff is still there but cooked so it's like a big green vein. I adding a pic of my leftovers. I took the lobster home to clean it prior to eating. read more

Came here to get a seafood boil bag to go, I got a pound of crab legs and a 1/2 of shrimp. I gave it three stars due to not having many options for the sauce. However the seafood it self was very fresh, if you choose to dine in you can BYOD which is a plus. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Cap't Loui - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

Okay, so I was super excited to come here because their IG promotions have been on point. The social media team has definitely done a great job and building excitement around the business. My friend and I both won a seafood boil and lobster tail dinner so we went in last night to try it out. As far as service goes, the staff is super friendly and attentive to the table. There were points where we weren't sure exactly who our server was because it changed constantly but overall, the staff were nice. If we had questions and they didn't know the answers, they went into the back to find out. Some of the answers were still confusing but it's the thought that counts lol As far as beverages are concerned, the lemonades were delicious. They have a bunch of flavors in these cute, oversized pouches which really build an aesthetic. For dinner, I had shrimp, mussels, clams, sausage, and crabs. My friend had crabs and shrimp with an add on of garlic noodles. Okay, so overall the seafood was juicy, not over cooked, and well covered in the sauce. But the sauce-- ahh. I wish they had more options, for example a possible garlic butter add-on. There were really only 2, so it doesn't give patrons much of a choice if you don't like their signature sauce. If you're into seafood and sweet then this is your place. The Cap't Lou sauce is a cross between Cajun and slightly sweet sugar cookies. The hotter the level you go, the less sweet it is but there's always a hint of sugar. I'm not really into sugar and seafood so it didn't work for me. The garlic noodles were the same thing except more amplified. They literally tasted as if the chef poured some sugar cane right into the mix which was super disappointing. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to mix butter, garlic, cheese and cane sugar but hey, if you're into that kind of thing sure. I'm a salty meets sweet girl but there are some things it just doesn't work for and unfortunately l, this was it. The beignets were more like zeppolis but zeppolis are always delicious so I'm not complaining. All in all, I want to say I'll be back but more than likely I won't because the digestive challenges that occurred between my friends and I after were excessive. I'm sure it was the combo of sugar, salt, Cajun, just too many things. Hopefully, we had an off day and the chef confused the salt with the sugar in the back? I'm not sure. read more

Seafood Boil Crazing Satisfied! Stopped in for take-out and ordered 1/2 Lb Snow Crab and 1/2 Shrimp (head off) with medium cap't loui sauce. Definitely on the hotter side regarding the sauce yet was flavorful. I was told that my combo came with corn and potatoes so I did not order extra but was very disappointed when I arrived home and noticed my order only contained one potato and one corn on the corn. read more

Food is good but the service is terrible. Online orders are always 10 to 15 minutes late. The place is not that busy so I don't understand why. read more

A great meal with great service. There's parking in the lot and the place is beautifully lit with great music. Oh and you can always find sports and the best movies on the screen. My server today Leon was amazing and very attentive. Will visit again! ***Sad to have to edit my nice review above. My tip was changed on my receipt. I originally tipped 25% but my card was charged 100% tip. Criminal behavior! I'll be disputing it and handling this with management! read more

My son said this is his favorite restaurant and I need to give it a 5 star review. Lots of fun and great food!

My daughter and I ate at the Springfield, NJ location on 7/8/24. The server appeared to have been new. We requested how we wanted our appetizers and entrees to come out 3 times ( and he wrote it down). Yet and still... wrong. The fried shrimp were mid. The batter was totally separated from the shrimp and a little greasy. The crab boil was so salty and not really flavorful. Lobster roll.... save your $25. Small. Not tasty at all. I was told it was in a butter/mayo sauce. I did not taste a drop. I will never return. Service 2. Food 2.5 read more

This is my favorite boil spot. Food is always great. The servers are attentive and polite. The music is always a wide range and the place is clean. read more

The food was delicious and the vibes/music had me dancing in my seat. The service was awesome.

The flavors are great and pricing is decent. Awesome deal for a basket 3 big soft shell crabs with a very generous heaping of fries if that's your thing (it's mine). Service is friendly and quick. read more

Cap't Loui sauce was very spicy even though I ordered mild but the proportions were great. Nice and Understanding staff and they moved quickly. Great music playlist. read more

Nice new place, great addition to the area. We came for lunch, we didn't have enough time to do a boil. The clam chowder was my favorite. Not thick and didn't taste like a came from a can or bag this tasted fresh and homemade. Only missing my favorite oyster crackers. Cajun fries were also great. Will come back again to have the seafood boil! read more

Great customer service. Very knowledgeable about the menu, he offered great suggestions that suited me. Though the portions were kind of small, especially the lobster roll it was as very tasty! The Beignets were a nice way to end the meal. Reminded me of New Orleans! Would recommend this place. read more

Food was not good at all...in fact it gave me tummy issues the next day. It's also expensive and they do not sell alcohol... I was just there a week ago read more
