    This gem called Captain Sam's Fish and Chicken was actually found by my fiancé on TikTok, and we had to try it for dinner tonight. It's tucked away off South Rainbow and Charleston, near the CSN West Charleston campus -- and let me tell you, this spot is nothing to play with! They serve up ready-to-order chicken and fish are both cost-friendly and absolutely packed with flavor. And do I need to mention... they've got the mild sauce and will ask if you want your chicken fried hard with lemon pepper seasoning? Yep -- this spot is legit and stays true to the Chicago name. The vibes are there. The food is there. The service is definitely there. The quality is there. The portions are generous for the price, and everything about this spot makes it worth the visit. My fiancé and I will definitely be coming back soon.

    I have NEVER been to this place in all the 15yrs of living in Las Vegas, NV. However, I live in Summerlin and from time to time. I drive past this place. I do like eating healthy. Yet, today was my cheat meal day. There are no thrills when it comes to the ambience. It's a liquor store. You will definitely find all that you need from cheap to affordable liquor prices. Mexican candy, food and even slot machines. The customer service was cool. The workers are young. Yet, they are hard working. From the cashier to everyone cooking the food. Affordability: Pricing will NOT hurt your pockets at all. This food is NOT over priced. Good food on a budget!!! Cleanliness: Now, they can do better. Yet, they did change out their gloves repeatedly. Wipe things done etc. Just there is just so much stuff and such little space to work with. They do need to change out their cleaning towels more often though. Now the FOOD. The BEST seasoning, the BEST fried chicken wings, the BEST fried catfish, BOMB fries. The seasoning that was recommended by a customer to me. BTW-the customers were even friendly. The seasoning is this lemon pepper. It has to be crack LOL. Cause it had me ready to drive right back up there and order another plate of food. The order I had was enough for me to share with my adult daughter. We were so satisfied and sad all at the same time. Our food was gone LOL. Now we are just left with memories. Their hot sauce tastes like a mixture of : Louisiana Hot Sauce and Cholula. Full of flavor and the right amount of heat. Look you MUST go here. No matter what side of town you are on, if you're visiting Las Vegas, a cheat meal or a new dinner idea. Stop in, make some new friends and allow your tastebuds to be happy. There is NO place in the Las Vegas Vally who can do it better. I mean that :) I highly recommend. Thank you for the amazing food!

    After coming across this place several months ago online decided to give it a try tonite. It's located on W. Charleston and Rainbow inside of a convenience store. Saturday night around 7:30pm, it was pretty busy. Took about 20 min or so for my order to be ready. It was clean inside and staff were friendly. I ordered the 2 piece catfish with fries, bread and cole slaw. Not a fan of the fries with the lemon pepper seasoning. The fish was okay, not the best I have had. I didn't try the cole slaw. Will I try this place again, no, the food was just not to my personal liking. Not to say others wont enjoy it. Give it a try for yourself.

    Food was great, the portions are huge! Fresh and made to order The service was fantastic, quick and easy, folks were friendly It's a spot inside a liquor store so you order to go so that's why I gave it a 4. No spot to eat at Bummer you can't eat there but the food was still good when we got home Will be back for the lunch specials

    1lb 1 Lb. Catfish Nuggets Dinner

    I LOVE catfish, so I was REALLY looking forward to trying the food at this location. I Pre-ordered through Grub Hub at 2pm to have my Catfish Nugget Dinner delivered to me at 6pm. At 3:30pm I received a call stating: "your order is ready for pick-up." I informed the caller that I placed the order through GrubHub to be delivered between 6pm-6:15pm and that was the options the app gave me. The caller proceeded to ask me "Why did you order for a later delivery? And "My cook didn't know about the late delivery, so you have to come pick it up now." I repeated that I ordered it through GrubHub and the caller became angry and stated "Fine! I got you!" And hung up. My order was then delivered at 5:50pm. The order was cold and the packaging and food was soggy and wet from perspiration. I proceeded to heat the food. The photo that I took was what the food looked like AFTER I heated it in the oven. When I sat down to eat, I looked at the receipt and learned that this was the food that they had waiting since 2:02pm!!!!! I had to throw it all away out of fear that I would get sick. VERY disappointing and unacceptable! Don't offer delivery via GrubHub if you don't coordinate with them. I will never recommend this restaurant, nor will I be ordering again!! A call to the health department will follow.

    The food is solid upon the first visit and was wowed immediately. The second time I went, I was bummed out smh. What I've learned is to NOT order at night or anything beyond maybe 7. I specified for the fish to be cooked hard... I do think the below pic is cooked hard, let alone cooked at all smh. A bomb place to eat when it's the right time though

    Good food . Good service. ( I see a lot of people complaining but the this location is busy af. But the staff gets to it and make ishhh happen!) Good vibe. Its worth the wait !

    Catfish Nuggets with French Fries
    Row P.

    Who would have known that Captain Sam's Fish and Chicken is located inside of a convenience store on Charleston & Rainbow. Take out only, no dining inside available. There are chairs near the entrance to sit while waiting for your food order. The Convenience store was cool, I liked the music playing, the owner of the store and the staff at Captain Sam's were cool too. I love me some Fried Catfish, especially when it's Catfish fillets. I was surprised by how many specials were on their menu at reasonable prices. They have Fish Combos, Chicken and Wing Dinners, Fish and Shrimp Dinners, Side Orders, etc. I liked the variety of fried seafood available on the menu. On the menu: Two Catfish Fillets with French Fries & Bread. Catfish Nuggets with French Fries & Bread. Sweet Corn Nuggets Our food was yummy. Both catfish fillets and catfish nuggets were seasoned well, tender with a crispy finish. The Corn Nuggets were also yummy perfect on the sweetness, creamy texture with a crispy finish. Since our first visit we already went back for more. Don't forget to ask for some sauces on the way out.

We came in on a Sunday with a party of six and were seated without any issues. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming--nothing too loud or chaotic, just a chill vibe that made it easy to enjoy our meal and conversation. I personally ordered the Personal Combo, which was a great deal for the price. It came with 1/2 lb of shelled, head-on shrimp, 1/2 lb of crawfish, 1/2 lb of mussels, plus one corn and one potato. You get to choose one sauce and one spice level, and the total was under $30, which is very reasonable considering the portion sizes and quality of the seafood. Everything was cooked well and seasoned nicely. The sauce was a bit thicker than what I've had at other seafood boil places, but honestly, I didn't mind it at all--it coated the seafood perfectly and had great flavor. The rest of our group ordered a variety of items, including fries, chicken wings, calamari, and pounds of shrimp, clams, and crab legs. Everyone was happy with their food, and there were no leftovers by the end of the meal, which says a lot. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was another highlight of our visit. Huge shout-out to our servers, Shainna and Ivonne, who were attentive, friendly, and made sure our table was taken care of the entire time. They checked in on us often, answered questions, and kept everything running smoothly, especially with a larger group. Overall, this spot checks all the boxes--great food, fair prices, chill atmosphere, and excellent service. If you're looking for a seafood boil on the southwest side of Las Vegas, this place is definitely worth checking out. We'll absolutely be coming back.

    Fun place to meet up with some friends and eat seafood. I can't even begin to say how happy I am…read morethat the sauce can be an oil based dairy free option. The Cajun fries are so addicting! I love putting the sauce on top of a bowl of rice. The service is always on point and the ambience is a warm welcoming vibe. Again, the dairy free options is something that is always appreciated.

There was a short line, so we decided to try our luck and wait it out. Luckily, it wasn't a very long wait for a party of 4. We ordered the Palace Pan Roast and the Bouill-Roast. Both were made in front of us and came out piping hot! They were delicious! Rich in flavor, lots of meat, and so filling! Price is as expected, especially in that part of Las Vegas, but such a tasty meal. We've tried to eat here a few different times, but the line can get so long and with limited seating, it just didn't seem worthwhile. However, if you can be flexible on your meal time, you can get lucky with a short wait. I'm so glad to have tried this out, and can't wait to make it back in and eat through more of the menu!

I had explained that I was diabetic and I saw a few single seats available and if she could seat me as I saw she pulled others out of the line after me. She said with a very rude tone--"if there was an empty seat, I would have seated you already." The food was just as I remembered and very good. I may go back again but not in the middle of the afternoon.
