    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.

    The best crawfish I've had so far this season. The seasoning is on point and the crawfish were BEYOND easy to peel!

    Great food overall!…read more The food here is definitely great--lots of choices and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. You can tell why this place is popular. The service could use a little improvement during busy times, and the ambiance felt a bit crowded, but that's probably because so many people enjoy coming here. Overall, still a very good experience and worth visiting for the food!

    Honestly, I'm very skeptical about buffets and the quality of food, but this is the first buffet I…read morethoroughly enjoy and all the variety of foods they have to offer. This place is a bit far from central Houston and central north Houston, but it's such a great gem! It gets quite busy but they have a number system where you walk in, check in and get a number, and then you get called. It gets pretty busy but the line goes by fast. Parking is also a bit of a hassle as the lot is very small for the amount of people which is a downside. The Chinese food they have is so so, but the seafood is where it's at. Their crab legs are always so fresh and sweet, and rarely salty. We also love their crawfish as it's full of flavor, fresh, and always piping hot. Their sushi selection is decent and also pretty good quality for buffet sushi. The seafood reminds me of Las Vegas buffet quality. Dessert selection is ok. I just go for the ice cream and some fruit and that's pretty much it. Inside it does get pretty hectic and everything is fast paced, but that's good if you want to eat the most you can in such little time! The servers are always attentive and take away empty plates, refill drinks, and are happy to assist with anything you need. All in all, this is a great bang for your buck if you want a good variety of food with amazingly fresh seafood.

As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Eric and seated. He sat us in a private cozy nook but we asked to move to the booths with tv viewing access. Eric took the time to explain the menu and offered his suggestions. He greeted and checked on everyone. As he spoke to people, he would thank them for coming back and converse as if he was speaking to old friends. The customer service was superb. My husband ordered a michelada with Michelob Ultra. He said it was a few degrees shy of having ice in it, who doesn't love a cold beer! For dinner we ordered the gumbo with sausage, red beans and rice, and the twin lobster rolls. The gumbo had a dark roux. It was decent but the spice level was a bit much for me. After about four bites, my husband took over. He enjoyed it. Next was the red beans and rice with sausage. The flavor was good. My only complaint was the sausage pieces were too big for one bite. Lastly was the twin lobster rolls with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and I'd compare them to Charlie's. The roll had generous portions of delicious lobster. We chose a hot roll but they do serve it cold if you prefer. The basket is served with a 2 oz helping of melted butter for you to drizzle on your rolls. The flat top rolls were buttery, soft, and grilled to perfection. Overall, we enjoyed them but they were missing just a touch of something, maybe a spice, I can't pinpoint it. I would definitely get them again though! The food was all hot and fresh. I overheard Eric telling another customer they don't have heat lamps and everything is brought out as soon as it comes off the stove. The location is in the center of booming shopping centers. This is a great lunch or dinner spot that welcomes casual family friendly dining. I'm glad we returned, we will be back.

I just kept seeing the staff behind the bar and thinking Oh here it comes and it never did. Drink tbh was not the best. Food also took a while to come out. Idk if it's because we went around lunch but again the place was empty. I got softshell crabs I should've read it a bit more but it definitely needs a piece of bread.Basket came with fries and they were not that good.Everything was definitely lacking seasoning. Friend got red beans and rice with his Catfish basket. Idk if they're meant to taste like that but to me they(beans)had a burnt taste to them. He also mentioned how he only got 1 piece of catfish. Usually baskets come with 2 or more and was surprised since my basket did come with 2 crabs. IDK it's one of those places you want to like since the area doesn't have many seafood places but won't be coming back.
