My 65th birthday was New Year's Eve. After a busy week with friends, my wife and I decided to keep it simple with movie and a dinner. Our movie ended a bit before 9pm, and I told my wife' that most places would be closed, so we would probably just grab a burger. Brad's seafood was closing at 9 that evening and my wife called, explained it was my birthday and asked if we could dine if arriving just before closing. They could not have been more cooperative. She pre-ordered a meal, and they had fresh oysters and boiled shrimp waiting on arrival. Plus, a marquee with my name and Happy Birthday on it. We were welcomed by all the staff and told to take our time and enjoy while they did closing chores Our entrées arrived soon after, and were fresh, hot and delicious. I was floored, because I knew everyone had plans and somewhere else to be, yet we were treated like kings. The food is always great at Brad's, but this says volumes about the staff and culture they have created. Kudos and heartfelt thanks. Lastly, the oysters were so fresh and delicious that I gotta go get some today! read more

My husband and I tried for the 1st time. Sat at the bar w/ Shawn as our bartender. Might not have spelt that right, sorry. She was fabulous & took great care of us! The food was delicious and the decorations were spot on for the boat theme. Love the place. We will definitely be back. read more

First time visit and on Father's Day! We (my group) wanted to try for a while now but every time we wanted to it was spur of the moment and always slam busy. So we showed up today at 11 when they opened thinking we would get in early thinking they would be slam busy like normal but Father's Day is not as busy as Mother's Day! Place has plenty of parking, games and seats outside if you have to wait. Plenty of tables inside and TVs on the walls. Moderate noise level and conversation was easy to hear at our table. Service was good and multiple workers checked in us and clear plates not busy our server. Great team work and we never went without drink refills. We had a dozen raw oysters and they were great. Also gumbo and corn crab bisque and étouffée and tacos. Sweet and unsweet tea. Everything was great, the gumbo was excellent, the bisque was just OK (I only ordered a cup to try as I never had before but it tasted like cream corn with some crab meat added.) my étouffée was excellent and I was so glad they had dark roux (I prefer true Acadiana food) anyone who has had Cajun food knows that Lafayette/Acadiana is different then Cajun food in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Highly recommend this place, prices are fair and portions are good size. I will be back again for sure. read more

Captain Brad's Coastal Kitchen - Lonnie - Seafood Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Last night I had a dinner date with the family and friends. The place is nice and clean. The employee are friendly handles serving excellent they are mainly teenagers but get their job done. The food taste amazing, strong flavors and the place smells really strong too of the spices they could turn it down a bit. I had the garlic butter shrimp scampi. It's really good but they use a lot of butter. They could tone it down a bit, but I would've come back to try other foods. The only complaint is it's pretty far from where I live but driving it with a car wouldn't be a problem will only come if friends invite me in occasions. also, they serve good crawfish if anyone is looking for a spot near the Willowbrook then here you are. read more

Service here was never any good. We've had multiple servers in the past already and none have been memorable. The food is okay. We usually get crawfish and just the margarita flights. We've never tried much of anything else. It's a nice place to chill though. They have swings outside and comfy booths and if you bring your kids here some games out there too. read more

1 out of 5 stars Captain Brad's Coastal Kitchen -- Tomball, TX My wife and I had lunch at Captain Brad's Coastal Kitchen today. We ordered a wedge salad, a house salad, two pounds of boiled shrimp (served hot), one Mahi Irene platter, and one Fleet platter. The salads were excellent -- crisp lettuce, chilled dressings, and full of fresh flavor. Amy's Mahi Irene was cooked perfectly, and my Fleet Platter was also great -- well prepared and nicely presented. Unfortunately, the boiled shrimp were awful. They were mushy, with almost no texture, and clearly a bad batch. I've eaten shrimp here before that were excellent, so I know this isn't typical. I politely brought it to the staff's attention, expecting they'd remove it from the bill. A young lady took the shrimp to the kitchen, came back, and told me that "some were mushy but not all," and that I'd still be charged for one pound. That response floored me. When I asked for the check so we could leave, she became louder and increasingly confrontational -- enough that another employee came to the front just to watch what was happening. Eventually, she told me she'd removed the shrimp from the bill, but by then the damage was done. As a small business owner myself, I know how powerful customer feedback can be, and I don't post negative reviews lightly. The food here can be very good -- but the way this situation was handled was unacceptable. Poor customer service can ruin even the best meal. Sadly, this will be my last visit to Captain Brad's. Before you decide to dine here, read the recent reviews and consider other local options. The food might be good, but the experience wasn't worth the hassle or the disrespect. Update 21-OCT-2025... @NTouch M / @Captain B, thank you for the quick response, I will certainly heed your advice and agree with your line of thinking, I will not be back. read more

It definitely has a sports bar atmosphere. We went on Saturday around noon. The service was not bad, but not overly friendly or efficient. My husband had to go interrupt our waitress from her lunch together our check. The crawfish pistolette was great. The fried avocado was good, it was on the salty side, and the shrimp were small. My husband got catfish and shrimp. It was fine, but it seemed more like a lunch portion, definitely overpriced for what you get. If we lived closer we'd probably go back, but it's not worth much of a drive. read more

Our waitress was amazing & sweet. She brightened our night. The oysters are the star of the show. I think next time, I'll focus on oysters and skip the entree all together. The entrees I have tried so far (three visits now) are ok but, not outstanding. That said, I haven't tried anything fried and have stuck to various fish with sauces. This is a restaurant with lively atmosphere. The food prices didn't seem exceptionally compelling although the price of beer was, per my boyfriend, a good deal. (Two draft ultras for $13). The parking lot is always full to overflow so be prepared to circle or walk from another nearby lot. The crowd & wait seems somewhat perplexing given the food but, I think part of the draw is lively atmosphere & drinks. For me, it's not quite my vibe. Because of the oysters and fact that my boyfriend likes fish, I'll probably go back again. But if looking for a night out with girlfriend, this wouldn't be on my list for that. read more

We went there for dinner this evening. We had the grilled Brussels Sprouts and Crab Stuffed Jalapeño's as appetizers, then the Crawfish Etouffee and Fried Crawfish Combo, Fried Shrimp Dinner. All good and good service. read more

The cocktails were good! The postulate was tasty but very small for the price. The fried food was lackluster in taste in portion. It wasn't bad , but the prices felt high for what was offered. It was a slow , Saturday lunch, so maybe dinner is different? We drove 45 minutes to try it out, again, not bad, but will probably stay closer to home for the next outing read more

The food and service were absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I came in and ordered the Shrimp Tacos and the Surf and Turf Burger. He said that the burger was by far the best burger he's ever had and it doesn't even come close. I used some of the queso blanco that came with his burger and added it to my tacos bc they seemed to be missing just a little something and let me tell you - SO GOOD. We did also order a bottle of the house wine and the calamari to start. Was a little expensive, but was a great night read more

Portion size for the price was not good. Service was lacking on the day we went. The food tasted ok but nothing outstanding.

Honestly, we used to love this place but our past two visits we feel the place has gone down hill. Today I ordered the grilled shrimp wrap. It came out and half the wrap had 4 of the smallest shrimp I have ever seen- like those tiny canned cocktail shrimp. I sent it back and said I thought they would have been regular size. When trying to decide on what to get instead the waitress said she told her GM and they even said the shrimp were too small and shouldn't have been used. She assured me that if I ordered it again it would be regular size shrimp, so I asked for a remake. Nope. This was like they had the largest of the canned shrimp available, still not comparable to the ones on the burger my daughter had. I left most of the wrap on my plate because after eating the shrimp in one bit, the wrap was 95% lettuce. Overall not impressed. Paid full for the meal, GM never came out, just expected more, sad that quality has dropped so far. read more

We have been to Captain Brads for boiled crawfish often. Unfortunately tonight's experience was not good. We are crawfish connoisseurs, eating boiled crawfish often and being from South Louisiana. The crawfish tonight were NOT fresh. Numerous dead crawfish which were horrible. All the crawfish were off. There was evidence that the entire batch was spoiled. The digestive tracts "veins" had very little material in them. That is a sign that the crawfish had not eaten in a long time. This is consistent with crawfish that have been out of the water a long time, stressed and lacking oxygen. Crawfish are only good for a couple of days. Trying to keep them in the sack for several days will kill them or injure them to the point that they loose taste and firmness. I spit at least 15 crawfish out! The rest of them were tasteless. read more

If you come here for other than crawfish, the food is pretty good; crawfish was either frozen or old, because it wasn't good at all. The red snapper is a most, clam chowder was one of the best ever. The service was amazing and so was the ambiance. Good family place read more

Goodness, the service excellent, but the food horrible, so oily, my plate was full of cooking oil , too buttery. The salad had rotten tomatoes. No for me , will not be coming back. read more

Go to Pappadeaux's don't waste your time here same pricing even better pricing but bigger oysters better soup, and better service‼

Service was great, very friendly and attentive......We only had soup and appetizers....... Clam chowder was very thick, tasted ok, but lots of potatoes......Mexican cocktail was watery, with a few whole shrimp and a couple onions and peppers.....not to our liking.......happy hour calamari was TINY....... Surprised.... Most happy hour apps. Are the usual size.... However, the calamari was the best of our 3 choices....... Probably will not return....... The indoor decor is really well- done..... they need to concentrate more on the food quality! read more

I'll start by saying the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. My waitress stopped by regularly to check on me and asked if everything was ok and if I needed anything. The gumbo is where this gets a low rating. This tasted like canned vegetable soup with shrimp added in. I doubt this had any roux as a base. This was my first and last visit. read more

Food was hot and very fresh. Our server cared for our every need but was spread a little thin for his skillset. I don't how to say that any nicer. He tried hard but walked with little purpose, lol. read more

Captain Brads - officially our go to place for seafood, great drinks, and amazing vibes! My husband ALWAYS gets their seafood boil with their spicy garlic butter. It comes with corn, potatoes, crawfish, crab legs, snow crab and andouille sausage. It is mouth watering For me I am obsessed with their redfish! It comes loaded with a Cajun crawfish sauce on a bed of cheesy mash. Get their side of green beans and wow And finally - guys they have MARGARITA FLIGHTS!! Great amount of alcohol- they don't skimp on it! You can try so many different flavors from classic, the blueberry, watermelon and more! The atmosphere is so chill, staff is so nice and a great casual spot for some great seafood. Check them out! read more

My family has been passing by this place for a long time!! We were so excited to try it. We are a family of 7 and every meal we ordered a side from the 2 kids meals were HORRIBLE!!! No seasoning, soggy catfish and the boudain balls were all rice and the size of a ping pong ball. I had to use hot sauce, ketchup and tartar sauce just to get flavor. A tipsy mermaid as also ordered and it taste like fruit juice no alcohol what so ever! I WILL NOT BE RETURNING AND I WILL / WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!! The biggest waste of $130!!! read more
