    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.

    Customer Feedback - 2nd Stop Houston Restaurant Week…read moreImpressive, Delicious & An AMAZING Staff From the moment we walked through the door, I knew this experience was about to be next‑level. Two attendants stood at the entrance with menus in hand , ready to greet us like we were boarding a luxury cruise ship . Behind the hostess stand, two additional staff members were directing seating with the precision of an airport runway crew. I was amazingly impressed. And then... ZOE ENTERED THE CHAT Let me tell you something, Zoe is THAT GIRL. When I say impressive, professional, knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, I mean she checked every box and then created new boxes to check. Her menu knowledge was so sharp she could've taught a culinary masterclass . But the most jaw‑dropping part? Her attentiveness. Zoe served each table as if she were only working ONE table. She floated around the room with a smile , made spot‑on recommendations, and carried herself with the kind of grace that cannot be taught. As a professional leader myself, I know you cannot manufacture character; it has to be who you are at the heart . Zoe displayed the brand so beautifully that I genuinely believe she should be a TRAINER for new staff. She has that "born for hospitality" energy. We told her we were on a first date, and she made us feel like we were celebrating a honeymoon . My date talked highly of her too, and trust me, he doesn't compliment easily. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work Her teammate, Trevor, was just as attentive. Every time he delivered something, he did it with a smile and asked if we needed anything else. The teamwork between Zoe and Trevor was smoother than butter melting on hot bread . Safety First -- Even With Drinks I asked Zoe if the drinks were strong because I live in Katy and had a 45‑minute drive home. She immediately emphasized safety first, which I appreciated deeply. So it was Fresh Strawberry Lemonade for both me and my date, refreshing, sweet, and perfect. Now Let's Talk FOOD ‍ Appetizers: Shrimp Gumbo -- robust flavor, deep seasoning, bell peppers, plenty of shrimp, rice, and okra. It tasted like someone's Louisiana grandmother was in the kitchen stirring the pot with love. Caesar Salad -- hearts of romaine, generous cheese, light Caesar dressing, and fresh croutons that didn't overpower the salad. Clean, crisp, and delicious. Entrées: Fried Crawfish & Crawfish Étouffée over Texmati Rice Well‑seasoned, flavorful, and comforting. Every bite felt like a warm hug. Texas Redfish Ponchartrain Now THIS dish? Listen... It was full of robust flavors, topped with shrimp and crawfish, and draped in a brown butter sauce that tasted like it was blessed by angels . The broccolini? Garlic + butter = OH. MY. GOODNESS. I almost stood up and clapped. Dessert: Strawberry Cheesecake -- creamy, sweet, and refreshing. Key Lime Pie -- tart, smooth, and the perfect ending. Final Thoughts Zoe was the highlight of the entire experience, funny, warm, attentive, and naturally gifted at hospitality. Trevor was amazing. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was impressive. The service was unforgettable. This restaurant deserves a standing ovation And Zoe deserves a crown . I cannot WAIT to return.

I came with some friends for dinner on a Saturday and this place was packed. It's tucked away in the middle of a shopping strip and the parking lot isn't that big. That being said, parking sucks. What they do offer that I haven't ever seen at a Chinese buffet is valet parking. I made a quick drive around the parking lot and decided to valet to save time. The young gentleman parking cars solo did a great job and works on tips. You pay what you want. They have a pretty large waiting area which we luckily didn't have to utilize. We got seated right away, but soon after, the waiting area filled up. The space inside is huge with lots of seating. They have neon lights and TVs everywhere which is a step up from your regular buffets. In the center is the buffet area with different stations and is very organized and clean. Customer service was good. Our plates never stacked up at the table and our drinks never went empty. The big draw here is the seafood portion of the buffet. I love crab legs but I don't like the work involved to eat it. Unlike other buffets where people pounce the minute the staff put it out, here they keep it well stocked and no ones fighting to get their share. I prefer my crab legs steamed and warm, but here they are served cold. I turned my focus to the huge seafood selection and sushi. They have shrimp and fish in all kinds of different preparations and I gotta say, everything tasted great. They also have a hot pot and hibachi section along with your regular Chinese food buffet offerings. I don't know if it's because I don't frequent Chinese buffets often, but here, I liked everything I tried and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. They also have a nice dessert station and even have slushie station for the kiddos. The best part of it all is the price tag is just a little over 20 bucks. You definitely get your money's worth here. I think there is something for everyone here. It's a shame it's so far from where I live. Buffetopia is definitely the best Chinese buffet in Houston.

We weren't even seated yet and she was already asking what we wanted to drink. I'm thinking uhm can we at least sit down first?? She seemed very impatient. My mom sat down first and pointed out that the table was dirty. She responded back by telling her "it's part of the table ma'am". My mom then pulled out a napkin and wiped it to show her that no...the table was actually dirty. We asked to move to a different table and she grabbed our silverware and flung it on the next table over and again asked for drink orders. We all were very confused at the attitude bc what is wrong with asking to sit at a diff table bc the other one is dirty?? If I was by myself, I honestly would've just left and went somewhere else to eat, but bc I was with family, I didn't want to make it a big deal. As for the food, they did have a lot of options. Everything was flavored nicely, but not everything was hot. I also wasn't a fan of the prepackaged ice cream cups so we went elsewhere for dessert. Some of the bathroom stalls were dirty too. Overall our experience here just okay. The poor customer service alone was enough to make me not want to come back.

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.
