Wow!!! I stumbled upon this nondescript restaurant and boy was I was surprised! They featured an extensive menu, the staff is very welcoming, and the dining room was spotless!! I ordered the chicken liver lunch special with the baked beans and dirty rice. It was extremely tasty! The rice was perfectly seasoned and so were the beans. The livers were fried but not greasy. The food was so good, it had no chance of being photographed (who wants to see half eaten plates, LOL). The portions are tremendous, so come hungry!! The owner, Hashish, came out from behind the counter to ensure the food was good and his guests were happy. He knows the value of great customer service, always smiling also! I definitely will be returning here!! If you're in the area, check this place out!! He also has a location in Bossier City, Louisiana. read more

We discovered this place on Instagram, and with all the great reviews, we were excited to give it a try. Starting with a few things that didn't quite meet our expectations: I ordered the wings, which were a bit smaller than I expected. They were also fried a little harder than I prefer, and the seasoning was slightly overpowering. My husband ordered the fish, and while it looked huge on Instagram, the portions were noticeably smaller. Now for the positives: the strawberry cake was absolutely delicious. It tasted homemade. The gizzards were also fresh and honestly some of the best I've ever had. Overall, the experience was okay. read more

Delicious, hot, and a great value. We were greeted as soon as we entered. The manager/owner was at the register and taking orders and helping customers, but he still acknowledged us. We seated ourselves as instructed and a waiter was at the table as soon as we sat down. The owner is nice and very welcoming. I ordered the fish and chicken and it hot and delicious. It is catfish and they give you a full wing and not just pieces. I have added this to my favs and will be back. Their prices are so reasonable for the amount of food he gives you. read more

Super nice family owned business with excellent food! And oh those desserts. Hard to choose just one flavor of cake! Fried fish and shrimp dinner is our favorite. read more

The place was nice and clean the atmosphere was nice as well, I did take my food to go. The food was good just wouldn't recommend the mac and cheese due to tasting like box mac and cheese. The fish and shrimp was hot, fresh, and seasoned. I love the fried okra it was cooked fresh as well. Then they have this lemonade that was delicious. Last but not least the banana pudding cake, omg, that was bomb! Definitely will be back for sure. read more

I'm gong to say I came to Captain La. With my wife because she was craving some fish. She saw the reviews and they pointed in the right direction. I had a burger and fries...and must say it was good. My wife had fried Buffalo and it was fried to hard. So we were in the area and we said- let's give it another try...my wife didn't like the attitude when asking for some fish and the price. I had a poh-boy with cod...it was hard and over cooked. Also it was tasteless and the bread wasn't fresh to me. Hopefully it will get better...the burger was definitely good. read more

OK, after visiting this place with my best friend, I was lured back by the tasty fish. I was grabbing dinner before a meeting, so I got the three fish three stuffed shrimp platter with their amazing coleslaw and hush puppies. While waiting for it, the Owner and I were chatting, and he graciously offered for me to taste the gizzards that he had just made, and they were super tasty as well. The batter and the spices on them were very tasty. Though I wish I had gotten more of that pink sauce that he serves with the fish cause that is just perfect with the fish and everything else. Probably could eat that off cardboard. Everybody there is so welcome, welcoming and so sweet I especially love the sweet lady in the pink hijab and the owner. They remembered me from the last visit, which was just so nice. Will definitely be back again read more

Arlington finally gets a good Louisiana fish joint! I stopped in last night to try Captain La. I ordered the 4-pc catfish with two sides, which was basically two large whole fillets cut down the center. I chose fries and mac and cheese as sides. The catfish and fries were excellent. The mac and cheese was pretty average, but that's my fault for ordering mac and cheese at a fish place. Next time I'll try the Dirty Rice. The restaurant was immaculately clean. The service was prompt. Prices were reasonable. The owner was friendly and polite. The portions were large and you should have leftovers, so the dine-in takeout container comes in handy. The owner said that his restaurant journey began in Bossier City, so at Captain La Fish you are indeed getting that North Louisiana flavor (shoutout to my peeps in Shreveport, Natchitoches, Campti and Clarence). They also remain open until 1AM, so if you're looking for late nite options beyond pancakes and waffas' you now have one. read more

Enjoyed a meal at a new restaurant that has been open for 7 months. Moved from Louisiana after having a previous restaurant. Fish is what it is all about - catfish. There was a steady flow of dine-in and take-out orders while we were there. We both had the catfish. Our sides were hush puppies, green beans, baked beans, potato salad, dirty rice. The fish is served with a homemade dipping sauce. The flavors and serving sizes were good. The meals are served in to-go containers, take it home or try to eat it all at one time, but you probably will take some home. Pleased to have the restaurant in a convenient location. read more

Captain LA is an amazing addition to charming restaurants specific to Arlington. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always great. The owner is a kind man from Louisiana, hence the LA. The seasoning on the fries tastes amazing, but I'm not sure what it is. The Mac and cheese had a nice peppery flavor. I had the tenders with and without buffalo sauce, I'd recommend getting tenders without the sauce though I'm sure it's good with their wings. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people that dine in but their super busy with to-go orders. Also, I'd HIGHLY recommend trying one of the cakes. Strawberry is my favorite and is great with coffee. read more

I ate here soon after they opened and whether it was early jitters or a training issue, my first order was average. I'm ignoring that visit and focusing on this one. I returned today and theyve done a great job updating the place. This building was originally a Sambo's, a national pancake house chain that was a favorite when I was a kid. It's been a few different things since. It's very clean now. I ordered a lunch plate of fried shrimp with hush puppies and slaw. $10 bucks. Huge value. Spoke with the owner as it was being prepared. Everything made in house, catfish is genuine not swai, made to order, etc. The shrimp were huge. Perfectly cleaned and deveined, the batter is well seasoned and perfectly done. They are crunchy, the shrimp tender and flavorful. And there are ten of these huge shrimp on the lunch plate! The hush puppies are perfection, made the right way in little balls with corn and onion in the batter. Crunchy outside, tender and light inside. Very flavorsome even without the jalapeño I would like in the batter. These are more than a side; they should offer as an appetizer portion. Also in a 5 gallon bucket! The only miss is a personal one. The slaw was drowning in the mayo dressing. This is popular these days but. I prefer vinegar based slaws but that's just me. We'll be back. Check it out. read more

Customer Service was great the owner introduced himself stated they originated in Shreveport, Louisiana the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. I got lunch special two catfish and 2 wings w/2 sides $9.99 I had dirty rice and green beans. The fish was really, really good, good! The chicken was good but a little too dark it wasn't burnt I'm not sure but I will try it again to see I only had two pieces and they were really small pieces but back to that catfish I two large pieces and they taste really good and they sauce was really good also. The green beans were good and so was the dirty rice can use a little more seasoning but it was good. I will be going back soon because the prices are so affordable. read more

Visited with my mother 4/15/25. Dined in and served quickly prior to 2pm during lunch hour. Lot of food for less than $15 each including tip. 2 Catfish filets, 5 shrimp, & 2 sides were all served hot and cooked perfectly. We've lived in central Arlington since 1987 and are familiar with the catfish joint one block west. Captain LA Fish is worth the trip. read more

I found out Captain LA offered Stuffed Shrimp, so being from Louisiana I had to try it. I was not disappointed. There were tasty stuffed shrimp that were offered. The green bean side reminded me of home. My dessert tester said the chocolate cake was moist with just the right amount of sweetness. She is also the sweet tea expert and she was pleased. I will be going back to try them again. read more

Man, this place should be busier on a Sunday! Prices are so damn fair compared to the quality and taste of the food you get. I got 2 stuffed shrimp, 2 catfish (made with REAL catfish) and 5 grilled shrimp with 2 sides. The shrimp, sides and fish came with a lunch special that they have for about $10, I ordered 2 stuffed shrimp on their own for about $4. All that food for under $20? Loved it! The fries weren't anything special. The potato salad was tasty! The catfish was so damn good, even after getting into it after a 15 min drive home. Grilled shrimp was about what you expect The stuffed shrimp was super tasty, definitely worth a try but not if you're sensitive to soft texture. I don't mind it though, it was amazing to me. Gonna try their wings next time and definitely get more of that catfish! read more
