    I've always passed by Cap't Loui so I finally decided to check them out. We went on a weekday and it was pretty packed. I did notice it is a smaller sized restaurant and even though they have outside seating, it was too cold this particular evening. However, we were eventually greeted and seated. Since this was our first time here, we asked our waitress for suggestions and she told us they are known for their seafood boils. They do have other dishes, but based on the menu, we decided to go with her suggestion and order a seafood boil which came with corn, potatoes, shrimp with the head off, and 2 clusters of crab legs. Our boil also came with a choice of rice or garlic noodles so we ordered the noodles. We also added an order of sausage to the boil. I believe since they were very busy, it took a while for us to receive our food, but our waitress did a great job of checking in on us while we waited. Once we received our food, it was served hot but it seemed as though the food in the boil was slightly overcooked. The Cap't Loui Canjun seasoning was good but it didn't seep well into the crab legs but it did for the other food items. But of course we had enough sauce in the boil so we used it like a dipping sauce. The garlic noodles were actually delicious. Warning, they are very garlicky as well as the seafood boil. The restaurant appeared to be clean and it was also bright and inviting with the nice music playing overhead. It almost seemed like a big party in there with great vibes. All in all, decent visit today. Even though our food was slightly overcooked, we would revisit in the future.

    We had our first visit last night. We were all very pleased. I had one of my favs, the fish and chips. It was very good. The fish was nice and flaky, not dry, and very crispy on the outside. The Cajun fries were very good as well. Wifey had the fried shrimp. 10 to an order, they were very good. My daughter had a boiler bag with crab, potatoes and corn. She said it was amazing and seasoned very well, and she eats this type of food once a week so I consider her an expert. Overall we were very happy with the food. We will definitely be heading back for more. The service was amazing, Mac took care of us and helped us through the new to us menu.

    Do not get the fish and chips here. They are not good quality. Not seasoned well. Even the string cut fries are sub par. I wish the hubs would have gotten a Chick-fil-A sandwich to go instead and I don't even like waffle cut fries. Still CFL would have been light years better than this garbage.

    Soft Shell Crab Po'Boy with fries , Fried Calamari Basket with sweet potato fries, and cod Fish Po'Boy with fries.

    Small quaint place but large on customer service and the food was very good! We got a soft shell po-boy, cod fish po-boy and calamari baskets with reg. Fries and sweet potato fries!!! Delicious!!!

    "Adult" Capri suns are awesome! So was the food!

    Food was outstanding, and I am a Louisiana Native. Friendly staff, and great atmosphere for my wife's birthday, all three of us loved this place.

    Great experience overall; the service was fast, staff were attentive, and very friendly. The food was delicious, well balanced, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. I love that you can pair it with either garlic butter noodles or rice. This birthday girl really enjoyed her meal and we will definitely be back the next time we're in Alabama!!!

    First, I am a Cajun from New Orleans, so I was raised on seafood. I was excited to hear about a new seafood restaurant in North Alabama because we lack quality seafood in this region. So a group of us went to Cap't Loui's on Father's Day. Service - The service was very good and friendly. They took the time to explain the menu and various options. Location - It is located in front of Walmart in a small commercial strip building and can seat maybe 40 people. The chairs are hard metal so bring a cushion! Food - I ordered the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were good, but some still had their tails on. The cajun fries were disappointing, frozen shoe-string-like fries with cajun seasoning. We had some small kids with us and unfortunately, they didn't have a kids menu so they split a chicken tender dinner. Price - My shrimp basket was about $20 with tax, gratuity, and a soft drink. Not bad, but the boil bags that you order by the pound are expensive. One pound of King Crab is $75!!!! I know inflation is out of control and Huntsville is 500 miles from the beach, but, come on man, $75 for 1 pound?

    I had a wonderful dinner here celebrating my boyfriend's promotion at work…read more Chuck's is a beautiful low lit restaurant, with a calm yet upscale atmosphere. The decor in here is absolutely beautiful. Our server Stephanie was the sweetest ever. She gave us recommendations and helped us navigate choices on the menu. I opted for a glass of their rosé while he got their old fashioned, wasn't his favorite since they did not have Buffalo Trace. He's not a fan of Bulleit. However he was alright with it. We got the Cowboy sushi roll and snapper necks as appetizers. Both very flavorful and cooked well. Having Louisiana hot sauce was the icing on the cake for him. Entrees we got were both mainly red snapper, he got it Parmesan crusted and I went for bronzed because it came with mango salsa over rice pilaf. He had risotto. Both dishes were very good, however they definitely could have benefited from a bit more salt (in our opinion). Green beans were cooked extremely well. We both cleaned our plates! As for desserts I went for the bread pudding and he opted for the creme brûlée since he had never had any. Bread pudding was absolutely immaculate and I'm glad Steph talked me into adding ice cream. He wished he had gotten my dessert after trying it but his creme brûlée was still pretty decent. Not a big custard guy. Overall this was a great experience and to help others gauge their bill, we spend a little under $200 before the tip. Not extremely cheap but not overly expensive. We just like trying it all - drinks, apps, entrees and desserts. Would love to come back soon!

    I like to look down on people who look down on things and it's with no small amount of humility…read morethat I confess to sitting at the new Grimaldis eating pizza with my wife laughing at the restaurant across the street called Chuck's Fish. We'd never heard of it and having recently returned from the gulf I was feeling rather smug about seafood. What could this Chuck know about it all? Feeling adventurous, we decided to walk over and check it out after eating an entire pizza. Pizza was pretty good. Chuck's Fish was epic. I love that there's no TV at the bar. I love the decor. I love the fact that the namesake was a civil rights attorney. I love the fact that I can get incredible sashimi and order our daughter a pizza that is just as good as the joint across the street. Chuck I apologize. I promised the bar staff I'd Yelp you up after the first visit but once bitten twice shy so I gave it another go. I'm at your bar now. Trudy is helping me out. She's a pro. So was the team here on Saturday. That's why I'm back in fact. The people. Also. The food. Can go on about the food. But. Y'all. Just come and experience it. This social media stuff is only good for so much. A nudge. A hint. An inkling. Hamachi ponzu with fresh jalapeño. Yes. Get that. Goyza with one perfectly crisped side? Yeah. Two of those. Catch of the day? Either way is gonna be good. Tks Charles!!!! You got two new regulars. Hopefully many many more.

    Will edit this after I eat, looking forward to trying it out. Friendly staff, and opened January…read more2025. You can call ahead and place an order. There is limited seating space, so plan to take it to go or have it delivered with either grub hub or door dash. Hush puppies are smaller than what I would expect, but you get 4 as a small. Medium is 8, and large is 16. Upgrade to at least an 8, because they will be gone too quickly and you will wish you had more. Flavor is good, a little on the salty side but that is a plus for people who love salt. Tartar sauce tastes freshly made, but has a hint of spicy sweet pickles (not dill, unless it is a mix of both). One odd mix is it comes with a slice of white loaf bread (not homemade nor is it toasted with butter, which is almost what I would expect with a fish plate). It was separated from the baked beans with parchment paper, so the bread did not get messy nor moist - but I would like to see this elevated to something else. The baked beans are basic baked beans. Not much flavor, so if you like blandish beans they are ok. I will skip the baked beans next time and try a different side item. The catfish is the main feature in this dish. It is fried with a seasoned batter, this is probably where the salt comes from in the hush puppies. The fish goes well with the tartar sauce, but I ran out of that with the first fillet (so get at least two tarter sauces). There are portions of the fish with more seasoned fried batter than fish. One plus side for those with kids is I did not run across any bones. I think next time I will try their bbq baked potato, double down on the jalapeño hush puppies and order before they cook too many catfish fillets. I think 4/5 is a fair rating. It is not "catfish cabin" from my childhood, but nothing ever is. It did satisfy a catfish craving, and for those who want catfish - it is at least is a decent option.

I ordered cilantro grilled shrimp it was so dry I couldn't eat it all. The broccoli and baked potatoes was much better. My husband ordered the rib appetizer. He said they were very good. Service was good but I had to ask 3 times for a gf menu. And then there were. Items on it like, shrimp and grits, but you can't have the grits. Strawberry shortcake, but no cake. I couldn't have the reduction sauce on my shrimp. It wouldn't have helped anyway. This is a beautiful restaurant and 14 people fit nicely in a quiet area. For a date it would be an ideal place to go. If you eat prime rib.

    Definitely a hidden gem!…read more My husband was out of town last week and so I decided I'd go somewhere I'd wanted to try that was out of the way to treat myself and help pass the time without him. I reviewed my bookmarks and settled on Barrio! This restaurant is located near the ever-popular Valentina's pizza -- I believe it shares a building with the first location of the pizza place before they moved a little up the road. Otherwise, it's sort of "out there" -- though I'd argue it's very much worth a special trip. The parking lot is a little small but it's also a fairly intimate restaurant so you won't be fighting insane crowds anyway. It felt clean and modern inside and the restaurant boasts a nice long bar. I was offered my choice of seat; I took a booth since they weren't super busy (it was a Tuesday evening). My server was Cameron. He was very sweet and worked hard at being attentive and helpful. My food came out promptly with each order and was prepared as I'd requested. No complaints there! The menu here is more authentic and more upscale than many Texmex options in the area. This makes me happy because I prefer Mexican cuisine served this way. I felt a little bad for the servers, though, as they had to field several questions from parties about matters of cheese dip, what mole is, etc. They cheerfully and patiently provided great education, but I hope in writing this I can save them some trouble in the future, lol. You should absolutely give Barrio a try, but Little Rosie's it is not (nor should it be)! Anyway, rant over...Cameron brought out some chips and both salsa rojo and verde. This was maybe the only thing I didn't particularly care for all night. Neither salsa had a ton of flavor or heat to my palate, and the chips were fried a little heavily/dark for me. I was concerned after this but I shouldn't have been because my entree and dessert were both delightful. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which comes with rice and beans. The rice was fluffy and light. The beans were a beautiful dark black color and subtly smoky, nice and smooth but not too much so. And my enchiladas... Okay, a thing about me is that I always think I'll love enchiladas (who doesn't love a soft and creamy, cheesy, warm meal?) but EVERY TIME I order them they disappoint me. I've FINALLY found a place where they were all I'd hoped they'd be. The chicken inside was tender and succulent but not mushy; the tomatillo sauce was bright and flavorful; the cheese added the perfect amount of gooeyness...really, really good. Thoroughly redeemed, I also placed an order for churros. I requested they be packaged to go as I was sure I wouldn't eat them all in one sitting. Cameron obliged and brought out the dessert in two separate containers (one for churros, one for ice cream). I appreciated his thoughtfulness, though I wound up eating the ice cream and some churros there because I didn't want it to melt. The ice cream was delectable -- honestly, it tasted like homemade vanilla to me but whatever they use, it's awesome -- and the warm, cinnamon-covered and caramelly churros were the perfect companion. I ate three there and took three home for later. So good! This restaurant has many offerings I've rarely seen throughout Huntsville (read: especially chicken mole -- hard to find!). They seem to really care about the food and execute it on a high level. Please give them a try when you get a chance. I'll definitely return in the future.

    Barrio is easily the best restaurant in the area. We started with the calamari and queso fundido…read moreand both were absolutely incredible. The cocktails were amazing too. I had the mango habanero margarita and it was so delicious with just the right amount of heat. For the main course we had the tacos and enchiladas and I already want to go back to try more. Please get the shrimp tacos. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa which were fresh and full of flavor. Our waiter Eldwin was super friendly and attentive and the executive chef was just as welcoming. Everything about the experience was outstanding. Highly recommended.
