    30 piece fried shrimp and fries Shrimp fried rice
    Alicia O.

    Can't beat 30 fried shrimp and fries for less that 20.00 Yep very very good they are pretty quick also

    Love Capitans but don't ever.. ever ever ever get the extra spicy flavor! I couldn't even enjoy my boil today and I consider myself to have a high tolerance. Other than that I'm a loyal fan been coming since 2020 when I first discovered it!

    Always forget to add the menu , But this place defiantly a good spot for a decent meal and worthy of you buck .. the place can be ghetto at times but other than that Safe to eat in or out

    Fried Swai NOT catfish.
    Ruth P.

    Ordered fish and shrimp combo. Paid upcharge for "catfish" but was still served "swai" which looks different and tastes differently. They lost my trust.

    Decent fish at a decent price. I'd recommend the Swai Filets or Catfish. I used to go to Captain Benny's a lot, but the fish is too bland for me and it's not what it used to be. Your food is prepared when ordered! This establishment is also diverse? What do I mean? Stop in and see for yourself and don't forget to try the Swai!

    We tried this place for the first time last summer because my brother was visiting from out of town and this was a Yelp referral. It's about a 25-30min Drive from our house. WORTH IT. We've come back several times when we are on this side of town or just have a craving for seafood Hot, fresh and delicious food. Great Prices!! Pic attached was the 2pcs fillet tilapia and fried rice. Hubbs likes the 2pcs fish and fries. Kiddos like the shrimp and fires. Bro had the CajunViet crawfish with hush puppies (sorry I only got one pic, we ate the rest too quickly lol) we've also tried the Fried whole tilapia

    Is the place as clean today as the pics showed over 4 years ago?

    I've never felt like I was in a dirty restaurant or seen anything​ flying or crawling so it's pretty clean.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch. My only minor complaint is some of the larger groups visiting can sometimes forget there are others in the restaurant. We don't need to hear your entire conversation about the latest office gossip.

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

Bottom line: just try it at least once! They know what they're doing here. It's no wonder this place is poppin!! Next time I'm back, I'll try to make another stop so I can get my own bag of crawfish.
