    Shrimp PoBoy
    StanleyRay C.

    Been here plenty of times and the seafood is good but this was my first tine ordering a PoBoy and will be my last. Too much bread kept the flavors from meshing. The shrimp breading fell off so there was no crisp and they had no flavor. Some things should stay close to authentic as possible and poboys are one of them. This was a not so go shrimp sandwich. The Cajun fries are just fries dusted with seasoning and they put it on after the sandwich was plates because there was no seasoning on the fries under it.

    I used to come to this place on a weekly basis. I would order the L1 shrimp,mussell's, and clams however over time the food started being overcooked the mussel shells would come empty you would have to search for them in the bag and there were times the clams would be completely shut so I stopped going ..I decided to return inly to be reminded why I stopped coming shrimp stuck to shell (overcooked) the portion size has decreased tremendously but the price increased...Our waiter took our order brought our food and then disappeared. The inside is somewhat clean and the ambiance is just mediocre..The poboy was terrible no seasoning and all you tasted was bread..Yea we have to find another place when I want a boiling bag..

    Seafood Combo 3 plus Cajun fries

    For food places I'm mostly religious to I forget to write reviews for them. With Houston saturated with seafood joints and Asian Cajun flavors and also trendy places it's hard to pinpoint where to go. I'm not in this area often so it's hard to visit this place but, it's the best seafood with Asian Cajun flavors you can get that is (key word) consistent. Also my partner says she's been coming here for years with her family. It was very busy the night we came in, our fries came out cold, but our waitress rectified it immediately with no issues and although she was swamped with bigger tables she came to us and still helped us out of course we also were patient and understanding. The ambiance is how it usually is I love that the ac is cold so I'm not sweating eating my spicy boiled seafood. The flavors and sauce is very nice and in depth and some thing I enjoy is a thick sauce at that.

    5lb crawfish

    I was in town for work and knew I needed to get some crawfish. I popped in this place as it was near the airport. I was seated right away and my server was quick to take my order. He checked on me frequently to make sure I had everything I needed. I ordered 2 lbs of crawfish with the captain's sauce and spicy level. Absolutely amazing! So good, I ordered 3 more lbs. I was a little worried about the spice level as this can lead to rumbly tummies but not here! My entire GI system thanks you! Will be back again!

    With butter and flavor

    I was torn between a 3 and 4 star on this visit. This was my second visit to Captain Crawfish. My first visit consisted of a po boy, with appetizers of dumplings which were very tasty and the fried calamari. Both were very good. For my second visit I tried something different and I went with the Seafood bag with 1lb crab, and 1 lb shrimp, and crawfish, one potato and one corn with medium heat and Louisiana Cajun flavor. First off, medium heat was no joke, my mouth was burning, and I'm not too certain if I didn't get the hot. Second, the flavor was hot, but flavorless. It literally was water and cajan seasoning no flavor at all. Okay, maybe I chose the wrong flavor, because those at my table had chose flavors like garlic butter and other things that all had butter and it was delicious 4 star. Yes they let me try theirs. Other than that, the shrimp were huge, nice sized crawfish, and a good size cluster of crab legs. Both of the appetizers of boudin balls and the fried calamari were both on point. Now when it comes to the drinks, let's just say you definitely get your money's worth. There is no holding back on the alcohol or watered down drinks at this establishment. The drinks are tasty but be warned with just a few sips in, you will feel it. The service was prompt and friendly while the atmosphere is casual and fun. This place is popular and will fill up quick, so get there early during peak hours.

    Delicious crawfish with plenty of flavors and spicyness to try; their mild cajun seasoning is my favorite!

    Gumbo needs work. Gumbo should be dark brown like milk chocolate not pale and gravy looking.

    This is damn good crab! Damn good crab! Smash down the king crab twice in 2 days. Both times go…read morewith all the seasonings light on the spice. Talk about full flavor! The king was fantastic in that seasoning just made it blow up with flavor. For, as much as you spend on the crab, you shouldn't have to buy more potatoes and corn, but it is what it is. Hard to get a 5, but this is a great place to get your crab on!

    We went early around 1130-Midday so there wasn't much of a crowd. We sat and had waiters come ask…read moreus for our order. My drink took won't say forever but it did take a while. I just kept seeing the staff behind the bar and thinking Oh here it comes and it never did. Drink tbh was not the best. Food also took a while to come out. Idk if it's because we went around lunch but again the place was empty. I got softshell crabs I should've read it a bit more but it definitely needs a piece of bread.Basket came with fries and they were not that good.Everything was definitely lacking seasoning. Friend got red beans and rice with his Catfish basket. Idk if they're meant to taste like that but to me they(beans)had a burnt taste to them. He also mentioned how he only got 1 piece of catfish. Usually baskets come with 2 or more and was surprised since my basket did come with 2 crabs. IDK it's one of those places you want to like since the area doesn't have many seafood places but won't be coming back.
