I ordered a shrimp Po' Boy basket and fish Po' Boy basket. The Po' Boy was wrapped with foil so the bread was soggy and breaking apart. I was given old hard and stale fries. Their tartar sauce didn't have any flavor. Wanted to support a mom and pop shop, never again. read more

This place used to be great! Not so much anymore. Apparently nobody made tea today nobody ordered hamburger buns so it was way overcooked and served on toast!! But my buddy ordered a poboy that came out on a hamburger bun WTF!!!! Skipping this place moving forward! The captain needs to come out of retirement!!!! read more

Excellent fried seafood. Small place. Friendly staff. Will definitely eat there again.

We had the ten pieces of fried fish and shrimp fried rice and it was very delicious. We ordered in the drive thru and was asked to move up to the end of the drive. Service was very fast and food was delicious. Received food with a smile. We will be back soon. read more

Fair prices for decent but not extravagant food. Chairs are uncomfortably hard. Take it to go because servers are slow and apathetic.

this place is always great.always satisfaction how great the food is here. my mom like it here so it gets an a+

Best neighborhood spot in all of Houston. I've lived on fairbanks for 25+ years and this restaurant has always been here. The manager is a lovey character and shows he definitely cares about his customers. The burgers are always juicy and delicious. Seafood gumbo is a big surprise for your tastebuds! Captains is borderline perfect! read more

You have to try the seafood gumbo here! Really incredible flavor and it goes perfectly with the grilled tilapia with shrimp platter. This is a little hole-in-the-wall place with excellent service and delicious food. They also do burgers with homemade onion rings that are fantastic. Oh and the restroom was spotless--as someone who is OCD I really appreciated that. Apparently they're going to start doing fresh fried chicken soon too, so I'll definitely be back for that. read more

I have eaten here six times and the food is always consistent. Perfectly cooked butterfly shrimp. Homemade tartar sauce. These are gulf of Mexico shrimp. Excellent value! read more

This is a good budget place to eat seafood. Located in a run down strip center they offer fried and grilled seafood. I tried the redfish dinner and it was good. It came with slaw, fries and Texas toast. With drink it was a little over $10 and mine was one of the more expensive items on the menu. If you are in the area its a good place to try. read more

First of all, EXCELLENT SERVICE. My parents and I were in the neighborhood and wanted to get quick lunch somewhere without feeling too fast food. My dad likes this place and so recommended us to go. Place was clean and cozy with not too many people. My dad got the Fish Burger with french fries. I didn't get to try it but my dad says it's his favorite dish at the place. I got the Shrimp PoBoy with stuffed jalapenos. It was really good! Baguette was soft enough but still had it's baguette-feel. It was very generously packed with fried shrimp, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. I added some hot sauce to give it a kick. Stuffed jalapenos were freshly made and I almost burned my tongue from the melted cheese! Lastly, my mom got the fried catfish and shrimp platter with fried rice and toast. Fried rice was really good and had generous portions of shrimp and vegetables in it. Both the catfish and shrimp were well fried and crispy. To top it off, we got those three dishes and a side of stuffed jalapeno all for less than $15! I think it'd be safe to say that I'd be back whenever craving some casual seafood. read more

Used to enjoy going here. Used to be quite busy and good food for a good price. But the prices are different from their menu. They did state that the prices increased. But 57% increase is insane. No wonder they don't post the prices. And the quality declined. The place was dead. read more

First time coming in here with the family and what can I say starting from the fries to the shrimp and catfish the flavor is perfect not greasy at all just perfect!!! Good customer service the owner has treat us well read more

It's a Friday during Lent and I decided to give this place a shot. Thanks to the guy who posted the picture of the menu. Between that and the reviewer who mentioned the grilled tilapia, I figured I'd take a chance on this place and I'm glad I did. It was a quick drive from my work, so I called in the order, drove over, picked up the food and found the tilapia to be delicious. Next time I'll ask them to go easy on the onions, but the fish itself had a good flavor and texture. Their shrimp fried rice was a pretty good sized portion. Although, it tasted kind of bland, it wasn't overly oily and had a good texture. To get both the fish and rice for just under $10 is a bargain compared to most seafood places. I'd come back. read more

I crave their Seafood Gumbo and Spicy Grilled Shrimp. OMG the Fried Rice is out of this world yummy! My favorite in Houston for comfort food. A+ food for a very affordable price. I'm so glad they offer take out during these crazy times. read more

Captain Seafood Restaurant - 3 fish ...6 shrimp ...french fries... coleslaw...Texas toast....7.99 - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

As a person who has been going to this establishment for 5+ years now, I will have to say it's a shame to see it has dwindled to this. I can't speak for any other dish other than the grilled flounder and shrimp as that is the only dish i have ever ordered. The flavors use to sing but now it's cheap and fishy. I'm not sure if the place was bought out or just a change in management but I can tell the fish is cheaper. Before my car would smell like the spices used on the flounder but now it just smells really fishy. I went a few times to give them a chance but this last time I couldn't even finish the flounder because it was so bad. Truly a shame... I can never return. read more

Please go to the Captain Seafood, it is a wonderful mom and pop seafood restaurant. I just had lunch there and I'm hooked, the gumbo is so yummy and flavorful. The Gumbo is full of shrimp and bit of fish with a nice thick roux and pack with yummy goodness. I love that they sever flounder and just not catfish, because I'm not a big fan of catfish. The grilled flounder and shrimp are well seasoned and a very good price. They also sell Tilapia, crabs and salads for the people who just eat salad. The pricing for their seafood is very affordable for a large family, which they do have family packages. My Daughters like the hamburgers they sell too, just in case your little ones are not into seafood. The hamburgers are big & juicy, which come with your choice of fries or onion rings. They have Fried Steak or Chicken burger, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, Philly Cheese Steak Basket and Po-Boys. The fried shrimp baskets are also a good value with a nice cornmeal not flour, which I prefer because they are season well. Don't forget to pick up some boudin balls these are the best I have had. I have yet to try the egg rolls, and I forgot you get a choice of fries or Chinese rice. I'm not a fan of rice but this fried rice is very good, with a large side of fried shrimp. It does have a small dinning area but its clean, I love that they keep the restaurant clean, and it doesn't smell fishy inside. The owner is so nice and comes out to make sure you are enjoying your food; I love that personal touch. Is always nice to support a local business, so please stop by and give it a try. read more

I grew up in south Mississippi and last lived in Louisiana so I admit I'm a tough critic on seafood, but this is the worst seafood I've ever attempted to eat and a complete waste of $10. If you think oh it was only $10 what do you expect... I would say to I have had better for less in Houston i.e. Lotus Seafood. As for this place....Neither the fries, shrimp, nor fish tasted like it had ever even been in the same room as salt. I don't like a lot of salt, but drowned my fries in salt and ketchup just to eat something on my plate. I also had to dip the 6 shrimps I had in cocktail and tarter sauce to get those down. But when it came to the fish, there was no saving grace. I just tore it to shreds looking for an answer as to why it was so disgusting. Problem number one is the batter. It taste and looks like a piece of fish encased in bricks of cornmeal. If you break up the pocket of corn meal as I did you will discover a watery piece of fish cake with residue seasoning from the cornmeal brick. I'm sorry, but baby this is not how good seafood is fried. Seasoning/salt and cornmeal should be mixed together and it should not separate from the food. Anything else is criminal. If nothing else go pick up some Zatarain's or Louisiana Fish fry. The guy at the counter had not so great energy about him as well. I get people have bad days. I could ignore that if the food was good but you can't have bad food and bad energy. read more

I didn't think much of this hole in the wall restaurant when I walked through the door. I was surprised that I had to order through a window. Very small place with a few tables and Spanish music playing in the back ground. I ordered grilled tilapia with fried shrimp it came with shrimp fried rice. I wasn't impressed with the shrimp they were bread battered (too thick) and under seasoned. However to my delight the grilled tilapia was bursting with flavor and fresh, it even had a delicious sauce on top smothered in onions, Yum! The fish was excellent with the rice I loved it! Kudos to the chef.. read more

One of the best mom and pop restaurants that I've had by far! It doesn't get too busy which brings a lot of comfort along with their outstanding customer service. I'm more drawn about their passion about seafood which makes their food even better. My favorite is the #27 (2fish , 5shrimp and 1 stuffed crab combo)! read more

Delicious and quick seafood! Got the grilled shrimp with fried rice and it was seasoned perfectly (if you can't do spicy, ask them to leave off the cayenne pepper)--really substantial portions. Also had the mozzarella sticks, eggs rolls, cole slaw which were also great. Not to mention the perfect sweet tea to accompany everything! read more

Good food at a great price. I'll definitely come back again. I walk in drop 10 bucks and leave stuffed w leftovers. The food is decent w great prices for what you get. I've already been here 4 times already and have enjoyed every meal. I'm gonna be a regular for sure read more

This place is definitely my favorite place to get seafood and I'm not a seafood person. It's a small hole in the wall place with tons of things to choose from. I usually get the fried shrimp and fish and it's delicious every time. Their tarter sauce is also great, too bad they don't serve it in gallons. You really can't get anything better and especially for the affordable prices they have. I encourage all to try this place out! read more

I have been a customer here almost weekly for over fifteen years, and I have never been disappointed in the food, and I have tried most of the menu. My favorite is the catfish platter plus an eggroll. Prices are very reasonable. Highly, highly recommended. I would give more than five stars if I could. read more

I got Door Dash, I was s little worried it was all gonna be soggy but it was still crispy and still hot / warm ! I substituted the fries for their fried rice, very good ! I got the captains special , the shrimp were okay , the fish is lightly battered and very moist and tasty ! The stuffed crab isn't bad either just too much celery ! Hands down on their homemade tarter sauce ! read more

I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a family friend. Took my parents, brother, sister and sister-in-law. We sat at the Family Table and the owner, Hector, was a wonderful Host! For starters, we had appetisers of Jalapeno Poppers and Fried Cheese Sticks with homemade Marinara Sauce. Then, we had the Cheeseburger Basket, the Seafood Basket, the Grilled Tilapia, Fried Catfish Basket and Fried Tilapia Basket. Holy cow! Our food was so delicious and the portions were HUGE! We left there comfortably stuffed and very satisfied! I don't know what Dawn M and DeAnza C's problems were that caused them to write such crummy and UNTRUE reviews, but, our experience was GREAT! Each of the customers that arrived after we did, were extremely pleased with their meals and took the time to tell Hector. The guy never sat down! Constantly in motion, cleaning, assisting customers, taking orders, advising the staff. The restaurant is clean, the bathroom is clean. This is a restaurant run by an owner who cares about the quality of the food he serves and the cleanliness of the business he runs. I highly recommend Captain's Seafood! It's a hidden gem and a neighborhood winner! read more
