    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

I cannot exaggerate how good her customer service is sometimes when I go into restaurants, people do not want to explain the menu she pleasantly and happily explained every thing on the menu because this is my first time and she did it with care and kindness. I really appreciate this! If I had a restaurant again I would want Cheyenne working for me.!! she is a true asset to this restaurant. Thank you so much to our beautiful waitress! Now let's talk about the food. Again, being a previous three-time restaurant owner everything from the sauce the quality of the fish the pan seared fish, the fried fish, the fried shrimp, the calamari! The aïoli. The butter scampi the honey mustard sauces are top-tier. I've never had sauces that tasted so good in a very long time! The presentation of the plates is magnificent and exquisite. This restaurant deserves five stars hands-down everything we ordered My Son ordered salmon I ordered the trout and shrimp. My other son ordered fried catfish and shrimp. Everything we ordered was 10 out of 10 and I really truly appreciate spending my money here me and my family will be back.!! Also the fresh baked bread they give you when you come in with that delicious butter is delicious! I just wanna thank the owner of this establishment for having such an amazing place

Our server Adolfo was very attentive and knew the menu well. He checked on us multiple times even though he had a lot of tables. The bar is back up and running not sure if it's a full bar as I just had beer. My son loved that he could write on the table and walls as it's encouraged here. We loved reading all the notes and pictures past patrons left. Overall 9/10

    If I would have rated this place my first time here two years ago, it would have barely received…read moretwo stars. This time was a completely different experience. 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.
