The fish basket was delicious. The setting is fun, especially with the drawbridge in view. We did sit for ten or fifteen minutes before we decided to ask for a server because it seemed like they were either ignoring us or somehow missed us being there. There were empty tables so it wasn't like it was super busy. After we got their attention the service was much better.

They were out of shrimp 😔, but the fish basket was delicious. Fried green beans we're a treat!

Classic South Haven harbor spot! We stopped by at the end of the season and enjoyed a fun, casual evening waterside — definitely more about the atmosphere than fine dining, but still a great experience.
We ordered one of Captain Lou’s famous perch baskets and a shrimp basket, starting off with the spicy cheese curds (our server warned us they were spicy — and they were, but delicious!). They were out of several beers on the menu, but we eventually found something we liked.
The perch was excellent — perfectly cooked with a generous portion. The shrimp and fries basket was good but more standard, with fries cooked perfectly and shrimp just a touch overdone. The cocktail sauce was excellent, and the staff were friendly and efficient.
All in all, a great local spot for relaxed harbor vibes, tasty fish, and good service

Spending a couple days in beautiful South Haven Michigan. We stopped at Captain Lou’s and had a great time. The service was great! Ella and Julian were fantastic and helped to make our visit incredible. If you’re in the area stop there. Great drinks! Great atmosphere!
Great views while enjoying lunch at outside tables. Menu offers so many great choices it was hard to decide! The server was very helpful in narrowing down recommended/ popular items and offering suggestions based on personal preferences. Everything was delicious! Drinks were great! My salad was loaded with fresh local blueberries and was tasty and gigantic! Fish n chips were addictive. Sweet potato fries were gigantic portions and very good. I highly recommend this spot for a nice lunch outside if you want to enjoy the pleasant early fall weather near the water!👍

Small little bar place on the water. Outdoor seating. There isn't any nearby parking. We parked on the street across the bridge. The walk was okay. Watching the boats went by was nice. The food was okay. They were out of the beer my hubs wanted. I don't want to sound old school but when did waitresses stop wearing clothes to work? It's early in the day can we find a top and shorts? The world is changing i guess. Effort is lacking. They were setting up live music when we left. Overall it's an ok stop.
Great seafood boils and more !!
