    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.

    Given the price point and location, we walked in expecting a standout seafood meal, but sadly, this…read moreplace missed the mark on almost every level. One thing that was consistent about this place was every dish being consistently bad. We started with the garlic wings, which were incredibly underwhelming. Tiny, with barely any meat, and the flavor? Not buttery, not garlicky, just bland. The fries were actually the best part of that dish, and even those were forgettable. Their snails with salted egg yolk were a huge letdown. The flavor was strangely reminiscent of mashed potatoes...no cheesy richness, just an odd texture that made it hard to finish. The tamarind eggs were just sour, and not in a good way. No balance, no depth. I couldn't even force myself to finish that one. The only halfway decent thing was the soft bread they served on the side...and that should never be the highlight at a seafood spot. Usually, I can find at least one dish I enjoy, but this was consistently disappointing across the board. The service was friendly, which earns them a second star, even though they messed up part of our order. Houston has way too many great spots to waste a meal here. They need a new chef...

    Some of my north side friends claimed this is a great spot on their side of town, so we gathered…read morethe squad and came here during peak crawfish season. It's located in a shopping strip with plenty of parking. It has a hole in the wall vibe to it with a spacious interior and a tiny patio out front. Customer service was just ok. We were able to order, eat and leave in a reasonable time. I ordered the Combo #2. This came with 2 lbs crawfish, 1 lb shrimp, 2 potatoes, 2 corns, and sausage. I got it in the extra spicy, garlic butter flavor. I love that it came in individual tin pans. It was sauced evenly and it was easy to dip the foods into the sauce instead of moving everything around in a bag or metal bowl to get some sauce. The crawfish was a good size and hit the spot. The shrimp was a little hard to peel. I've been spoiled by the places that make them easy peel. Because of my slow peeling skills, I got full fast and this platter was a lot of food for me to finish. Luckily my expert friends were able to help me polish it out. Overall, this was a very solid spot on the north side. Because of the distance, I wouldn't drive out of the way for it but would most definitely come back if in the area.

My husband got the same but he got Spicy. For our 2nd round we decided to go for the citrus twist. I got extra spicy. Definitely different tasting than your regular crawfish places but its that unique flavor that kept us wanting more. I will say that the best way to go is to get the Spicy. Extra spicy is not bad if you don't mind a lil kick. Definitely coming back for more and maybe try some different items from the menu since this time we were on a mission to try the crawfish.

    I stumbled into Bluewater Seafood after getting a mailer with two coupons: one for a $20 gift card…read moreoff, and another for 25% off the entire bill. Kind of a weird setup though, because the bartender told me I could only use the $20 gift card if I was paying with a gift card... which felt a bit off, but whatever. Overall, this place was just okay. I get the feeling the boils might be the star of the show here, so I'll probably come back to give those a try. I ordered the sampler with fried green tomatoes, boudin balls, and stuffed jalapeños. The flavors were there, but the boudin balls were a little too salty. For my main, I went with the etouffee and asked for both shrimp and crawfish. It was flavorful, with a solid dark roux that I liked. I sat at the bar, and Crystal was my server. She was super friendly but admitted it was her first time making the Bloody Orange Lemon Drop. I gave her a couple of pointers for the second round, and she nailed it - so props for that! In the end, the experience was just fine. Not bad, not amazing. I'll probably come back to try the boils, but for now, it's a solid 3 stars.

    "Seafood Hits the Spot, but Service Misses the Mark" 08-30-2025…read more I absolutely cannot believe I've passed by this place for many many years and never tried it out until now. I came here on a Saturday afternoon with my sisters and our fifteen-year-old godsister after doing a little school shopping for her at Willowbrook Mall. We had a fabulous time, and we all enjoyed our meals equally; the quality and taste were excellent. Our entrées were delivered fresh, piping hot, and full of flavor. No complaints there! The only disappointment was my appetizer order of fried calamari. It was definitely not the best I've had, honestly, not even close. The pieces were thick, overcooked, and rubbery, making them unpleasantly chewy. A total bummer and a waste of $13. Now, about the service: our server was attentive, but her style came across as pushy and unprofessional. She didn't communicate clearly, and instead of asking if we wanted refills, she simply pointed at our glasses back and forth as if we were supposed to guess what she meant. At one point, while wagging her finger at the drinks, a particle flew off her hand and nearly landed in one of the glasses of cokes. I was appalled! Additionally, to make matters worse, she brought wet wipes for my sisters but instead of leaving them on the table, she opened the packages herself and handed them out one by one, issuing them out as if they were children. My younger sister flat-out declined hers when she saw this happening. Honestly, why would anyone open customers' wet wipes for them when handling food and drinks? She seemed like someone who had just been hired and thrown straight into the job without training. Another complaint I have is that the server didn't clear our appetizer plates before bringing out the entrées. Now, mind you, the platters are served on large rectangular plates that take up a lot of space. When she tried to hand me my food, I asked if she could place it back on her serving cart and clear the table of the appetizer dishes and leftovers first, so my family and I would have more room and be more comfortable. To her credit, she did it right away without any attitude. Like I said, she was attentive, but her service skills came across as unprofessional. That said, the food more than made up for the service. It was hands-down delicious, and we will definitely be back, just not with the same server. If you love good Southern fried seafood, this spot has it on lock! I highly recommend them! Food Ratings: Fried Fisherman Platter - 5/5 (fish, shrimp, oysters, crawfish, hush puppies, and sweet potato fries; everything on this platter was perfect!) Fried Fish & Shrimp Platter (with fries) - 5/5 Fried Fish Platter (with fries) - 5/5 Cole Slaw - 2/5 (lacked flavor) Blue Crab & Shrimp Boil - 5/5 Crawfish & Queso Dip w/Chips - 3/5 (queso was delicious, but chips were cold and too hard) Fried Calamari - 1/5 (overcooked and rubbery: hard to enjoy, not the quality I expected) Mango Rita w/ Tajín - 5/5 (strong, delicious, and on point!) Ambiance: Nice and quiet with soft music and flatscreen TVs. Definitely family-oriented and great for groups. Side Note: I would have given this place 5 stars but the wait service did not permit me to do so; it was too bad. However, the rating can always change considering on what takes place on my next visit.
