    Calamari, Charboiled Oysters, and Oysters
    Lizabeth Y.

    THERE WASNT A LINE!! My parents were craving CRAVING oysters and this place hit the spot!! I would say I'm being generous with the stars, I'd give it a 3.8! The service was AMAZING. Very attentive and sweet. We had the calamari as our appetizer and honestly, too much breading. Oysters tasted good, it don't hit the same as New Orleans but we also in Texas haha! They were pretty decent sized though. The char-boiled oysters had some garlic to it, similar to Alfredo sauce! The bread that came with it was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Of course we had someone who doesn't eat seafood with us so we got some wings, they were lemon pepper wings. And we got a shrimp boil that was actually spicy!!

    Calamari

    A hidden or not so hidden gem. Their more popular dishes are the blatant boils . They look and smell delish! I ordered the calamari which was cooked to perfection. No chewiness at all. It was lightly breaded and fluffy. This was followed by a cold lobster roll which is perfect in this Tx heat. I will be returning soon. To try more.

    This place is pretty good to go to if you go on their special nights for live crawfish. I recommend snacking on the Cajun fries as a good appetizer. We got the Original sauce for the crawfish and the seasonings/flavors were excellent. The oysters themselves were fresh and quite large servings. To me, the lobster roll was a little too rich and unfortunately the lobster itself was slightly over cooked. Overall this place is a good place to go when crawfish is in season.

    First time at crab station for dinner. We usually go to red claws for sea food boils but we wanted something different and something closer to home. The boil was ok. Definitely better at red claws. The cat fish was good. Just ok. The lobster roll was pretty good but it's almost 30$ and it's pretty small. Shrimp cocktail was great. It was great for a big party we didn't have to wait long on a Saturday! Good ambiance. The service was pretty good. They took good care of us. It's not the best place for seafood but I'd like to try some other things before I give a bad review. I'd go back!

    The Crab Station is located in a plaza full of Asian restaurants. It was hard to pick which one to eat at! You'll get a bib, a condiment container, and a bucket for shells. The strawberry margarita was huge and delicious. We had: -the killer calamari -shrimp, crab legs: The garlic butter sauce is the only non-spicy option so that's why we went with it, but it was a bit boring. The size of both were more than satisfying. The crab was also easy to crack open. -oysters: Overwhelmingly huge. I would've enjoyed it more if it came with mignonette sauce. -cajun and sweet potato fries -chef's bread pudding: best item on the menu I would come back for the above and also to give their "Weak Sauce" a try. They also play great pop/r&b music. Make sure you come hungry.

    The 4 is there instead of a 3 because the servers were very nice ! Tuesday 2:00 pm Happy hour March 2023 Ordered happy hour margaritas (regular frozen at first; then mango). $6. Ordered the triple Cajun tacos (blackened catfish, chicken, shrimp) they come with a type of pico on them, and there are sides of ketchup, cocktail sauce, and tarter sauce. $13-$14 My friend ordered the same, and oysters. (6) Charbroiled. Back to the tacos: the chicken one was good. If I reordered this entree, I would do chicken tacos only. The blackened catfish was a 2/5 if you added the tarter sauce. The shrimp- bland. Maybe 1.5/5. It needed the cocktail sauce. The space, medium sized. Not too loud. Not too crowded. Would I return? Yes, but no time

    This place is contending for one of my favorite crawfish spots. I ordered the original flavor which is like a mild spice level, but I tasted the level 3 (extra Shazam) from a friends order and it was delicious! It added the right amount of kick without being overpower. It was spicy but you still got plenty of flavor. They're shrimp and lobster linguini and they calamari are also good. I usually go here for seafood boil, but I need to venture out and order their other seafood options. Also, they do offer a $5 margarita with checkin on Yelp, but I would skip it. It's very tart in my option. I would try the hurricane. It's not too strong or too sweet.

    Snow crab & shrimp

    Great food & great service. They also give out quality gloves, bibs, & tools I just wish there was more flavor as you increase the spice level. My family & I just honestly feel the burn...but still yummy overall. Keep in mind that it's just a little bit more expensive than similar other places in the area, but it's definitely a great place for seafood. Will come again!

    Finally got to try the crab station this weekend and it was super delicious. I got the snow crab legs with sausage in original sauce. The sauce was very delicious. You can really taste the garlic in the sauce and it was slightly sweet which was tasty paired with a squeeze of lemon and butter! The prices for seafood have gone up quite a bit of course but I love it so much idc lol My fiancé got garlic noodles with lobster. They liked the noodles but said the lobster was slightly over cooked and dry. The margarita was really good and I got a discount for checking in on Yelp! I definitely plan to go back and try and more items with different sauces. Overall I had a great experience and our waiter was really nice and helpful.

    $25 lobster roll. Alot of fries but the roll is quite small.

    I went here solely for the reason that I was searching for a lobster roll in dfw for a long time. Did some searching and found this place. Online it had an epic picture of the wagyu cheeseburger as well. I went there and although the warm lobster roll tasted pretty good, for $25 it was VERY small. I know lobster is expensive but that's why I paid $25 for it. I think I finished it in 5 bites. Dont get me started on the "wagyu cheeseburger". I asked for medium and it came out well done. Dried and no flavor. Looked nothing like the picture on their website. 0/10 on the burger. Don't get it.

    i visited with a group of 6 and we came late on a sunday night and there was still a 30 min wait. luckily there were several large groups that left all at the same time so we actually only waited about 15 minutes or so. they have a buy 4lbs get 1 free special for the crawfish which was perfect. we also got a pound of mussels, shrimp, wings, and 1/2 dozen oysters. if you check in through Yelp, there's a $5 margarita check-in offer!! food was great and the crawfish was still large! overall the food was great. the service on the other hand...first it took forever for the waiter to come over and take our order, then they kept forgetting multiple things that we asked for. our ranch for the wings, waters, i ordered a mango margarita and received a regular flavored one, extra lemons, etc. we asked how long it would take for the crawfish to come out and they were like 5 min! ...15 minutes later we asked for them to check on our food :/ food was good, but had the service been better i think we would've enjoyed our visit much more.

    Nasty as hell. No flavor what so ever. Needs seasoning and didn't have a freshness to it.

    So good!! The mild house sauce is delicious and not spicy enough to leave a tingle in your mouth,…read morebut full of flavor. The shrimp and snow crab legs were our favorites. The lobster tail was a bit tough and overcooked, which is a waste. Mussels were good too. Garlic noodles were not our favorite. Corn and potatoes are good, but they're a bit stingy about it only giving you one of each. When your seafood boil is $70+, you should get more than one of each. The flavors linger in your mouth for a bit. It lingered for almost 2 days for me, but would definitely return!

    Went to Capt Loui for lunch and had mixed feelings about the experience. The food itself was great…read more The crab was fresh, well-seasoned, and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service was questionable. Our server had difficulty communicating in English, which led to a costly misunderstanding. When we ordered crab, she never asked what type of crab we wanted and instead assumed king crab, which is significantly more expensive than other options. As a result, our bill was much higher than expected. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill without it being mentioned to us beforehand. While restaurants may choose to add gratuity in certain situations, customers should be clearly informed so there are no surprises. My advice: enjoy the food, but be very specific when ordering. Confirm exactly what type of crab you're getting, verify the pricing, and check your bill carefully. Also remember that gratuity should be clearly communicated and not assumed. Better communication would have made this a much better overall experience.I'd rate it 2.5 out of 5 stars. Great food, but the service and communication issues took away from the experience.

    The service was HORRIBLE. We went one night and they were completely out of live fish and told us…read moreyou'll have to come back the next day. We asked what comes when you order hwae, and asked if it comes with side dishes. The lady said yes. So we go the next day, order the hwae. Asked about side dishes and the younger guy at the counter says it doesn't come with side dishes in a condescending way. And we had to ASK for the free fish soup that comes with it. Which was premade, and they don't give you the pieces that are leftover from the hwae you ordered. Avoid this place and the younger guy needs to really change his attitude. He had this "I don't care" attitude and talked to us in a condescending manner.

    We walked in and there was nobody to acknowledge us for a while. I wasn't sure if we seat ourselves…read moreor wait to be seated. A lady from behind the counter finally noticed us and directed us to sit at a certain table. Menu is on the table so she came by to take out order. There's not very many pictures to reference the size. The chef's choice sashimi platter range from $39.99 to $119.99. I had to pull up Yelp photos and with the help of the server, we ordered the medium platter for $59.99. As we waited, we were given a plate containing edamame and what appears to be fried pieces of fish skin. It was unexpected and tasty. The sashimi platter was fresh and contained a nice variety of fish and other seafood. I was surprised to see octopus and clams. It was served on a bed of radish, which I love, with sliced jalapeños and garlic on the side. There's no question the seafood is fresh here. They have tanks in the front containing lobsters in the front. The tanks are clean and there's no funky odors. This place is very traditional. Service was adequate. They have a self serve station where you can get your own water from a water cooler and additional silverware, sauce cups, and napkins. Took my niece here for a birthday dinner of her choice. It's right by Paris Baguette and she's always been intrigued by it. She thought it was just ok. Overall, I think it's a nice place to get fresh seafood but it's not a place I see myself coming back to.
