    Seafood Combo 3 plus Cajun fries
    Nicole T.

    For food places I'm mostly religious to I forget to write reviews for them. With Houston saturated with seafood joints and Asian Cajun flavors and also trendy places it's hard to pinpoint where to go. I'm not in this area often so it's hard to visit this place but, it's the best seafood with Asian Cajun flavors you can get that is (key word) consistent. Also my partner says she's been coming here for years with her family. It was very busy the night we came in, our fries came out cold, but our waitress rectified it immediately with no issues and although she was swamped with bigger tables she came to us and still helped us out of course we also were patient and understanding. The ambiance is how it usually is I love that the ac is cold so I'm not sweating eating my spicy boiled seafood. The flavors and sauce is very nice and in depth and some thing I enjoy is a thick sauce at that.

    I was in town for work and knew I needed to get some crawfish. I popped in this place as it was near the airport. I was seated right away and my server was quick to take my order. He checked on me frequently to make sure I had everything I needed. I ordered 2 lbs of crawfish with the captain's sauce and spicy level. Absolutely amazing! So good, I ordered 3 more lbs. I was a little worried about the spice level as this can lead to rumbly tummies but not here! My entire GI system thanks you! Will be back again!

    With butter and flavor

    I was torn between a 3 and 4 star on this visit. This was my second visit to Captain Crawfish. My first visit consisted of a po boy, with appetizers of dumplings which were very tasty and the fried calamari. Both were very good. For my second visit I tried something different and I went with the Seafood bag with 1lb crab, and 1 lb shrimp, and crawfish, one potato and one corn with medium heat and Louisiana Cajun flavor. First off, medium heat was no joke, my mouth was burning, and I'm not too certain if I didn't get the hot. Second, the flavor was hot, but flavorless. It literally was water and cajan seasoning no flavor at all. Okay, maybe I chose the wrong flavor, because those at my table had chose flavors like garlic butter and other things that all had butter and it was delicious 4 star. Yes they let me try theirs. Other than that, the shrimp were huge, nice sized crawfish, and a good size cluster of crab legs. Both of the appetizers of boudin balls and the fried calamari were both on point. Now when it comes to the drinks, let's just say you definitely get your money's worth. There is no holding back on the alcohol or watered down drinks at this establishment. The drinks are tasty but be warned with just a few sips in, you will feel it. The service was prompt and friendly while the atmosphere is casual and fun. This place is popular and will fill up quick, so get there early during peak hours.

    Everything was very good - Steph was our server and she was excellent we will be back! Crawfish were good size and tasty crab was also good- boudin balls were really good we will be back to eat more crawfish

    the menu and prices
    Ashley F.

    Soooo... where shall we start... I come in, friendly hosts, they seat me quick, no problems... they bring me a menu, I order my meal within 3 minutes and we're off to a good start! 35 mins go by and food is finally delivered. Luke warm, AT BEST! After multiple tables with larger parties are served before me yet ordered after me, I'm at a loss for words. I ask the server if they can reheat the meal, they oblige, and I'm back to waiting.... 7 mins later they return with my order.... Don't order the captain special blend unless you want curry flavors... It says Cajun blend but, I must clearly be confused... Something about this pricing doesn't make sense... L1 combo for 1/2 of 3x items is only $19.99, but for a whole pound of snow crab is 24.99.... literally could've ordered 2 L1, for better the price... Clear oversight on my part.. Long story short, I don't recommend; won't be coming back

    The boiled shrimp is the best I've ever had. And they are the easier to peel. The spice level is on point

    Crawfish was real dirty. Did not seem to have been purged. $10 a pound not worth it.

There were about 12-14 picnic style tables to sit and eat at. We went on a Sunday around 3pm and the line was long when we arrived. The line did move at a decent pace. Good music was playing in the background. The crawfish were $9.99 a pound. We ordered 3 lbs. of crawfish, four potatoes, one egg, and one corn. The total was $37 dollars and some change. We received a buzzer and were told it would be a 10min wait. They don't sell drinks, so we walked next door to the convenience store as we waited. Some people even brought their own coolers with drinks. The food came within the time promised. The food was fresh and hot. They put all the sides at the bottom of the bag and then poured the seasoned crawfish on top. The sides were not boiled in seasoned water, but in plain water. The potatoes, egg, and corn had none of the seasoning flavor we chose. We chose the medium spice Kasian style seasoning flavor and it was very good with just enough spice. The crawfish were juicy. One downfall and the reason for the one star deduction, was they forget to give me the one corn we paid for. When I informed them they gave me a hard time. They told me to look at the bottom of the bag, which I did before approaching the counter and it wasn't there. Then they asked me what name did I place the order under to confirm if I actually paid for the corn. They finally decided to give me the corn in a single plastic bag. I didn't appreciate the hesitation and none friendly demeanor after I informed them of their error. Aside from that, people love this food truck. The line continued to grow as we sat and ate. The other food trucks didn't get much business while we were there. There was one food truck selling lemonade and patrons were going there to get drinks for their crawfish. I would recommend trying this place if you want some well seasoned crawfish.

    First off the communication with the cashier was not good. He does not have good customer service…read more He basically stared me in my face and I said are you ready to take my order and he shook his head yeah. We got to do better. Anyway, I was able to get past the communication barrier in order a two piece fish two piece shrimp meal with two sides with one side being the hush puppies and the other is fries. The fish seemed like it was seasoned pretty good. I was only able to taste a piece of it and also the shrimp and of course I did taste the fries. They were OK, but not as good as five guys when the cashier offered condiments. I noticed that he only gave one half of a container of tartar sauce . That's not good because how come I'm getting a full container of hot sauce, but not a full container of tartar sauce, make it make sense. They did give me some plasticware which I'm not using with this meal. Last but not least I tried the strawberry banana pudding. It was a 3 out of five. It's pudding I mean, what can you expect.

    I was in the area and decided to finally visit this location since I had eaten a large breakfast…read morewas looking for something very light for lunch. The day I visited, they were playing zydeco and Louisiana/southern style music pretty loudly from the speakers, so if you don't like that sort of thing, with them trying to get you in the mood to eat catfish, this may not be your type of place. Their fountain machine was broken during my visit, so a bottled soda was the only option at the time. Although they have tables inside, half were out of service and not available for use. Luckily, most customers seem to order take out anyway. After looking at the small menu, I decided on the regular fish basket with a soda in the cooler. This meal came out to around $15 after tax. Fish basket - served in a to-go box. Upon opening, the fish looked pretty thin and pathetic, but after eating the filets they were fairly juicy and well-seasoned. The hush puppies are standard. The red beans and rice is actually pretty good! Their tartar sauce has been adjusted and has an orangish color with orange speckles. Overall, this quick service restaurant was alright for me but they are definitely trying to make it a to-go kind of place and for me, I am looking for a nice sit down place to relax during my lunch break without all the loud music, hustle and bustle. Plus, I rarely eat catfish, so I don't see myself returning anytime soon.
