Snow crab was most worth it ($47.84 for 1lb on 1/1/24). Lobster tail wasn’t worth it for the price. The corn was tasty, really good at soaking up the sauce. I’d choose the cajun sauce; it was more flavorful than the lemon pepper.

Very fun family style! I like the King Crab a lot but it is oily and lots of garlic so not super great on the stomach, would recommend to come when you don’t have any stomach problems! I wish there was a plan boil option with oil on the side

Been coming here since they opened -- they used to give 1 corn per pound so each person would get one, but this time there were 4 of us and we only got 1 corn for all of us. Understandably it's probably hard to fit 4 lbs and the corn and potatoes, but it would be nice to have them on the side. Garlic noodles are always great and we normally get Capt Loui sauce (mild). It's also gotten much busier since the last time I came here, and had ~15-20min wait

First visit to Cap’t Loui and it was a good experience! There was a line when we arrived, so we ordered takeout instead. We waited about 25 minutes for our food, so it might be a good idea to call ahead if you’re in a hurry. The clams and crawfish were fresh and live. Head-off shrimp was good as well. The Cap’t Loui seasoning had a nice touch of sweetness and tasted great. The sides exceeded our expectations — both the Cajun fries and garlic noodles were delicious. One thing to note: the price on the wall was for frozen crawfish. The menu didn’t clearly show the price for live crawfish, which ended up being more expensive, so that was a little confusing. Also, the crawfish itself was a bit plain and needed to be dipped in the sauce for more flavor. Overall, a solid spot for Cajun seafood.

Came here after hearing about their $1 Wednesday deal for raw oysters on the half shell! But honestly... I think their seafood boil is much better. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you plan to just get oysters... I really like the Cap't Loui sauce! Although it's your typical cajun sauce, it's not super salty like other places. Very easy to eat. Mild was perfect for me. We got the Pick 2 Boil Combo with Shrimp Head On and Mussels. The shrimp was cooked well and the mussels were a good size! This was a good amount of food for two people to share. I recommend pairing it with the Garlic Noodles! Small portion for $7, but the noodles were yummy. There's melted cheese on top! Back to the oysters... They were shucked poorly. There were bits of shell all over the flesh, and some were mangled into a pool of milky liquid! Not done well at all. Looks like the shucker was in a hurry or getting frustrated? Also... These were HUGE. I'm talking hand-sized big! If you know about oysters, the bigger they are... the better they are cooked. Not raw. So this was pretty disappointing. They were very meaty and somewhat-firm in texture. Not very briny in flavor either. I wasn't a fan. -1 star for the oysters.

When we walk in, the staff told us we can sit anywhere, which was nice. They are surprisingly spacious and have lots of booths. The menu is kinda smaller than I expected but good nonetheless. When you order the boiler combo, try to at least order 2 like for example, snow crab + king crab so you can get the free side and you'll be satisfied. The sides are $6.95 each and it's expensive for a small portion. Onto the main course, the crabs were so good along with the hot special house sauce, made me teared up. However, there were 1 piece of corn and 2 potatoes (the corn was surprisingly sweet but I didn't try the potatoes). We were still hungry so we got the fryer combo of fish + calamari, and fries. Absolutely worth it and can't say anything bad. The drinks were a little underwhelming for me but it might be different for others. Lastly, the service was outstanding. The staffs were very attentive, free mints/wipes, and they have mouthwash in the bathroom. 9/10, would go back sometime

I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong item, but the food was really quite ordinary. The fried fish fillets had a strange texture—chewy rather than juicy. The garlic noodles and claim chowder were pretty good, but nothing particularly amazing.

The food tastes ok not the kinda Cajun style that I used to have. It has a lighter taste more like a fusion I would say. Surprisingly the gloves are very durable and I barely get any oil or scent of the food on my fingers with them on. The server girl acts quite weird with a poker face and seems very impatient. Well maybe she just had a bad day but everyone’s life kinda sucks and we need to remain professional aren’t we?

Live crab and crawfish, but it tasted just ok, not super fresh. Flavours was not bad, not mind blowing. Two staff (A short darker Asian & an Indian) was on top of things & super friendly, the other staff(tall Chinese looking Asian) was nonchalant. 1 crab and 2 lbs of crawfish came up to $150 (including tips). Free dessert was yummy if u do a review, maybe that’s why the reviews are so good.

This is a bag seafood cuisine, where you pick your seafood and it’s boiled in a bag with corn and a couple red potatoes. We chose the lemon garlic pepper sauce for ours and it was pretty good. Mild was a little too mild for us so we would choose medium next time. The service was lackadaisical where we had to flag them down for service items and ordering. There is some parking behind the restaurant, which is a big hard to spot from the street. There’s a row of small restaurants there.

Got skimped! I used to come here often and always enjoyed the taste and quality. But on Christmas Day, I got a to-go order for a friend to try and was really disappointed. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, yet the food quality had dropped, and there were only six crawfish in a supposed one pound order. The whole portion also looked smaller than what I’ve gotten before. It felt like we got skimped. Hopefully this was a one-time thing, but it’s disappointing to see a place I used to enjoy go downhill.

Normally this place is has good food avoid the oysters especially on Tuesday during the 1.50 per oyster deal. My girlfriend is sick in bed with food poisoning from a bad oyster. We ate 12/30/2025 and the next day she got sick with no food between. It is definitely not worth the risk and would avoid oysters here as they are probably not fresh especially for the deal Tuesday Wednesday probably looking to get rid of bad oysters. Very disappointing and will look into reporting for inspection or otherwise they need to seriously retrain chefs to better identify bad oysters.

Not recommended!! Well, I don’t know why the ratings are so high at this place. I was excited to try to food here but the whole experience was unpleasant. The food was not okay, I am sure they mixed fresh snow leg and not fresh. There was one snow leg was fresh and tasted good, the other one was totally unacceptable. And you are basically paying for the shell here. And I asked the waiter and he said I was unlucky 🙂 and he smiled. To be fair, their french fries was good thou. My husband felt stomach pain after get home and that’s the only food he had for today. The service was not pleasant as well. I will never come back again and I would not recommend anyone who try to have good food and have a good time to come over here.
