    Shrimp Broil
    Carrie Z.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I visited on a Friday night, and the place was at about 70% capacity.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were only two people handling the register, ordering, and serving, so they were incredibly busy. Fish & Chips: The texture was crispy and oily, the flavor bland. It came with ketchup, tartar, and thousand island, but no vinegar. Fries: Thin fries with a mix of both salty and sweet. 1/2 lb Shrimp Boil: This came with one potato and 1/3 corn. The flavor was just okay. You can only order by the half or full pound, and I wish they offered a combo option.

    I'm actually surprised at the high number of reviews for this place. The food was.. fine. Nothing great. Everything lacked salt. The sauce on both seafoods was literally just butter and red pepper flakes. No flavor. We had to ask for salt. I had to ask for lemons and my seasoning was supposed to be "lemon pepper." It had zero taste of lemon. The clams had huge shells but tiny little bites. The shrimp were cleaned nice but again, needed seasoning. The rice also needed seasoning. The corn needed salt. The potatoes were blah. The service was fine. Nothing crazy. There are way better seafood "boils" in town.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]not busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. the food was mediocre at best.. it was pricey, everything Ala carte.. the service was good though being that there weren't more than a hand full of tables taken..

    Came here with my family of 6 and myself on a Sunday upon placing our order rice and noodles came in and then we were told they didn't have enough spoons or forks for us to use, my kids were eating rice and noodles with their fingers. I asked the server for disposable ones she said the had them but it was only for to go orders make that make sense you are charging us a automatic gratuity fee because we are 7 and you are more worried about the to go orders where most of the time you do not get tipped. Will not be returning to this place. It was a bummer because we were actually happy that this place opened around our home.

    I do love me some fish and chips! And I was very glad when I found Cap't Loui's. It was super close to my house, and I wasn't really sure what to expect, although they had great Google ratings as well as great Yelp ratings. Place is super easy to find in shopping center. Ample parking, and nestled right in the center. You really can't miss it unless you're trying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in the door and look to your left, there's the captain and his pet grab ready to greet you. The place definitely has a seafood vibe, nuts on the walls, and just an overall rustic seafood type venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots and lots of seating, tables, and booths, as well as a bar so all the bases are covered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Covered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus there are several widescreen TVs all over the place in case you want to look at something other than the amazing food they bring you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the captain's platter, which came with soft shell, crab, shrimp, fish, and calamari. I will say this, their french fries are top notch! And the sauces that bring out to you are second to none. My friends ordered the fish and chips plate which was huge! As well as the shrimp plate with sweet potato fries. I personally am not a sweet potato fry type person, but she said they were amazing and the shrimp worked perfectly cooked. I got to tell you, a majority of the fish and chips places I go to the fish and the fries can sometimes be greasy. This was definitely not the case here. The fish and all the other fried foods were super crisp and knock greasy at all. Honestly this will be on my list of places to go for sure! The bottom line? Hoist the sail and swab the poop deck because Cap't Loui's is definitely your go-to place for fish and chips. I am looking forward to going for oyster Tuesday and see how that fares.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was bumpin'![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing like diggin into a bag of food, taking delicious bites all while jammin to some 90s tunes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were visiting from Chicago and had a taste for seafood. This is not something you can do often, unless you have money to spend like that, but its worth it. Only my hubby and I shared a bag. Crab legs were a good size. My uncle had a Po Boy and my son had chicken and fries. Everything was delicious!

    This is the place to be on Tuesdays! They have a $1 oyster special. You can only order in half dozen or dozen increments, so at first I asked for a half and then a second. Service was quick both times. I ordered an adult capri sun drink and it was delicious, came in a festive pouch with ice cubes that lit up. The ambiance is pretty relaxed, there were a few other families dining there on a Tuesday night. Overall, a great experience, will definitely go back.

    I don't want to sound ungrateful or rude but I'm not sure how Cap't Loui's has a high standard for their food. The service was great from our server, the ambiance is nice, and the restaurant wasn't too crazy busy when we went in last night for dinner. We were excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews about the food and the service. We were seated immediately wnd were offered water to drink while we browsed the menu and caught up with family. Their restaurant has ample space; and the decorations are similar to other seafood boil joints, so pretty familiar. Their prices are decent, you can go during lunch time and get some good deals on meals, they have a chicken option if seafood isn't your favorite. You can get up to 4 proteins I think in a boil bag; so if you want to have variety it up then you absolutely can! Oh and you can also choose headless shrimp for an extra $2 in your bag versus head on like most places. However, the taste isn't there in the food. When you choose a boil bag, your server will shake it for you before setting it down in front of you, which I guess adds to the excitement. I got the fried fish and chips with the Cajun fries. My husband and father in law got the fisherman's platter, my daughter got the chicken sandwich and my brother in law got the boiler. The spice level for the boiler bag's Cap't Loui mild was lackluster. It needs more of everything! The shrimp was decent, wasn't overcooked; didn't seem frozen or anything like that. The chicken sandwich was the medium choice with Cajun fries- and the same, not really spicy. However, their chicken looked very freshly breaded and fried, and the presentation was great. Now the baskets, you get a 2 ounce cup of tartar, ketchup and another remoulade type sauce. You get plenty of fries with your order, (in all orders). I asked for lemon for my cod, which wasn't too bad. However, the batter didn't look or taste fresh. My cod tasted overcooked, or frozen for a bit then fried again unfortunately. The fisherman's basket was okay also. Nothing crazy to write home about, but the calamari didn't taste fresh or look fresh either. Overall, the service was great from our server, they kept our drinks refilled, checked on our table constantly and engaged with us while we were there. If the food was more flavorful, and seemed a lot more fresh or homemade, I think Cap't Loui's would do much better in business. They are in a great spot, and have the potential! But I wouldn't be back! The beignets were good.

    Booth seats and backrest needs repair and/or replacement.

    Not bad at all for a lunch special at $15.99. For just $1 more, you can get the shrimp without the heads, which is my preference. The special comes with two choices of meat, a side, and a drink. I ordered double shrimp and swapped the potatoes for extra corn. One thing I really appreciated was how flexible they were with substitutions. Most places don't allow any changes on lunch specials, so it was nice that they weren't overly strict about it. The shrimp tasted fresh, and I love that they're cleaned properly. I stopped going to Hot N Juicy because the shrimp often came out mushy, and they didn't remove the digestive tract. The quality here was noticeably better. As for the food itself, it's a solid 5 out of 5, especially for the price. However, I'm giving the overall experience 3 stars because the service could be a little better. I also prefer sitting in a booth whenever possible, so I naturally asked for one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, the booths are in need of some restoration or replacement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seat cushions felt completely worn out as if the padding disappeared but the leather remained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The backrest was unstable, and I honestly felt like it might break if I leaned back too hard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a noticeable gap in the seat that I tried to push closed, but it didn't help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I took a photo to better show what I mean. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're a booth person like I am, you may want to choose a regular table and chairs instead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, great food, generous lunch special pricing, and fresh, well-cleaned shrimp. If they improve the service and update the booths, this place could easily earn a higher rating from me.

    Came to eat at this Henderson location. Service is great. They are constantly checking on you. The lemon pepper has really good flavor and a fresh finish. The captain Loui sauce is very flavorful. I got medium and it wasn't too spicy. I've had medium at other places and it was Too hot to eat. We got a side of garlic noodles and it came with ample Parmesan cheese and I believe it was tossed in butter. Definitely do not skip on the garlic noodles. You can also add noodles to your bag, but I would not recommend that because I think it's soaked up too much of the sauce. I did ask for more sauce and the waiter was kind enough to bring my bag back and put more sauce on it. Wilson was our server and he was the best! He was super tentative, nice, and was working really hard! I would definitely come back to try more things.

    We came here looking to put a dent in seafood boil and for the most part a huge success! It's a nice space and can accommodate probably 100 people. No issues inside, it was nice enough and we were seated quickly without a reservation. Here is the meat and potatoes of this - the review. As far as the seafood boil, amazing, we destroyed a whole Dungeness crab, 2 pounds of crawfish, and a pound of clams in hot sauce like it was nobody's business- so good! As far as the chicken wings...they were ok. The fish and chips...hard no probably the worst I've tasted. I would compare the fish and chips to chucking a microwave dish, or your keys, the cat, laundry, into the oven at 3am after a bender. They will all taste the same I'm guessing, just not good. If you come here - the seafood boil is wonderful along with the garlic noodles simply fantastic. Pass on the rest and you will thoroughly enjoy.

    Absolutely obsessed w their sauce Beats hot + juicy, & boiling crab Soooo good. New manager was helpful + service is always good even when busy!

    Okay sooo... if you ever find yourself choosing between Cap't Loui and Hot N Juicy Crawfish... pls. Cap't Loui wins. Effortlessly. The sauce? stunning. It's buttery, garlicky, and they add the right amount of spice (they way you want it. i love mine SPICY)... and it's not giving that weird sweet thing Hot N Juicy does?? yeah no. Cap't Loui comes thru. Meaty crab legs, plenty of sausages, flavorful af, and you don't leave feelin hungry. Satisfied af. Cap't Loui really said "I got you." and I respect that. p.s. big s/o to our server Evan! really made an impact on our experience 0:)

    Do you do oyster specials on Tuesday like the Summerlin location?

    Hi, Yes we do!

    I don't see this whole lobster special on the menu. Is it every day and why is it not on the menu?

    Hi, thank you for your inquiry. Our Lobster special is grand opening promo. Offer will end mid October. You can order it at the store. Limited one per person!

    Do yall have malt vinegar for the fish and chips?

    Hi! Yes we do have Malt vinegar.

    Is the $20 whole lobster special per pound or for the whole lobster?

    Hi, Each Lobster weights from 1 to 1.25 and they are $19.99 each. It comes with 1 corn and 1 potato. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question!

    Ever since I found this place on TikTok about a month ago, I kid you not... I have been here EVERY…read moresingle week. This place is seriously AMAZING. I saw some reviews saying that a lot of the positive reviews are just from family and friends, but I wanted to say I'm just a regular customer who randomly discovered this spot and it truly deserves the hype. Their lunch special is such an amazing deal and honestly one of the reasons I keep coming back. It runs from 2-5 PM, which I love because so many places end their lunch specials way too early. It comes with shrimp (or your choice of seafood), rice, corn, potatoes, and sausage. For the price and the amount of food you get, you really can't beat it. And don't even get me started on the flavor. The seasoning is incredible. I usually get the mix with all three flavors, but this past weekend I tried the Louisiana Cajun flavor and it was SO GOOD. I'm genuinely surprised this place isn't packed every time I come because in my opinion it beats Hot N Juicy, Boiling Crab, and other seafood boil spots EVERY time. The service has also been amazing every single visit. The owner Will (I believe that's his name) is honestly one of the nicest and most welcoming owners I've met. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of the food. Everything always comes out fresh, flavorful, and piping hot. After coming multiple times, I still haven't had one complaint. We also came here for Father's Day, and my boyfriend said the oysters were the best he's ever had, no exaggeration. The food was amazing as always. I really hope this business continues to grow and gets the recognition it deserves. It's being run by an amazing owner and staff, and the food truly speaks for itself. I'll definitely keep coming back :)

    Terrible quality! Had my food remade the first time, it was still horrible! $82 combo number 2…read more Inedible! Disgusting! King Crab legs, they were not! Where was the CRAB or the KING? We were sold on that but I will show you, we were duped. Look, I asked for the purveyor of the crab and was told Restaurant Depot! I literally DID NOT ask for a refund from them! Instead you knew you were wrong coined in on my naive daughter that was feeling bad for you and had been drinking all day and indulged with you at your facility as well and took her payment quite quickly. Do better! The amount of places in town that far exceed this place are prevalent! On a whim, we came to this one, never again! So poorly managed!
