“Cap't Lou is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Great food, crowd and ambiance. The owner, Raymond is such a humble and generous host with a welcoming smile. If you haven't tried the food, I highly recommend doing so...you'd love it!! ?“
“our family was there on 5 March. we had the party room. the place is very pleasant. However, the food and especially the service was outstanding. the two young people who waited on us were beyond reproach.Thanks you Voodoo Crab!Parking: there is street parking available, and there is a municipal lot behind the property.Kid-friendliness: my daughter had a Shiley Temple in the same pouch the grown ups had their drinks. she really enjoyed that small detail.“
“I'd recommend this place ... sort of. We chose to sit on the dining side since it was only two of us and didn't want the "show". The service was friendly and good but not overly attentive. Our drinks were very good and a fair price (we had the Oceanside Zombie but without the Sprite added). We both ordered the hibachi surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon) which came with a house salad and clear soup, both of which we really enjoyed. The filet was tasty but the pieces were cut very unevenly so some pieces were medium rare and others were close to well done. The lobster tail was very small and too salty. I would not order it again. I was completely disappointed that the veggies were drowning in teriyaki sauce. There was no indication on the menu that they are served in sauce. I typically love hibachi vegetables but I hate teriyaki sauce! They reminded me more of Chinese takeout vegetables than Japanese hibachi. The fried rice was good but not the best. It came with lots of peas and I hate peas. Another disappointment but not a surprise was they don't offer hibachi mustard sauce. Like so many other places these days they offer yum yum sauce instead which we refused because, yuck yuck. They offered us some ice cream on the house (I think because the server knew I was very disappointed about the teriyaki sauce). It came to the table in little plastic cafeteria style cups with the pull back paper top. LOL. I'm glad it did though because the top listed the ingredients and let's just say, we immediately sent the ice cream back. All in all, not the greatest hibachi experience but also not the worst. I would maybe go back for drinks and try some other menu items ... and hold the teriyaki sauce!“
“Without a doubt the closest cooking to remind me of home. Catfish and Shrimp pivots was amazing. Crawfish Etoufee, chicken and sausage gumbo and chicken sausage and shrimp jambalaya was spot on. I will be back to shoot a video of the location and food for my Vlog without a doubt. Was a good feeling to here the chef ask if “The Boot was in the house” being from LA it made me feel like it was home.“
“My wife presented me with a video of this quaint establishment on social media, inspiring our decision to enjoy a romantic evening at this secluded yet charming restaurant. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the attentive staff, who exhibited genuine warmth and hospitality. Our server was exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring an enjoyable dining experience. The culinary creations were delectable, and the overall ambiance transported us to the heart of Louisiana. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment if you are seeking a Louisiana-inspired culinary experience.“
“This is a good restaurant with the typical seafood boil with different types of sauces to choose from. The service was good and it's really the only type of cuisine like this in the area so it's a bonus. The restaurant has quite a few tables and it's very clean. When I went there wasn't that many people in the restaurant so I hope this review brings them business because they deserve it!“

“Ordered from this place for the 1st time and eventhough i only live about 10 minutes away it took the uber driver 23 minutes to get the order to me..... even with that being said, the food came hot and it was delicious. The only thing i wish is that they would supply the utensils needed to crack open the crabs but if you have some industrial scissors and a good hammer and forks you can make it work. I would absolutely recommend this place even for ordering if you live near by it is worth it. next time i want a seafood boil i will go to this location in person to be able to experience the restaurant itself, the staff, and the service.“

“The place opens at 1:00 pm every day. We went on a Wednesday for lunch. We did all you can eat (AYCE). I calculated the cost of what we wanted to try and the AYCE. It was cheaper to go with AYCE. It was $25 per person which I found reasonable. They offered fried items and boiled items. We had the fried oysters, shrimp, calamari, soft shell crab, crab ball, flounder, and onion rings. The seafood was on the small side but it was off season so I expected it. The crab ball was dry. The oysters were slightly salty but not too bad. Overall it was good. It was cooked just right and it was crispy. It came out nice and hot and quickly. The wait staff was attentive but not annoying. The decor was cute. I will go back when seafood is in season to see if they are bigger.Parking: Strip Mall ParkingWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with plenty of maneuvering room.“
“Really great place. Found this place when looking for a late night place to eat as we were picking someone up from JFK, and we are from out of town. The website said open to 4am. We made a reservation for 11 and were told the kitchen closes at midnight. We were running late they called us and let us get there at 11:40. They're was 12 of us! Great food, and friendly even though they were closing. Would definitely come back if in the area. The entire party enjoyed. Special shoutout to Eleanor, she was amazing“
“I ate here recently with my family because we really wanted seafood. So the pluses are that it’s a large restaurant with easy parking, lots of seating and great customer service. The food was delicious but the only reason for four vs five stars is the quantity. The portions could have been a bit bigger, but overall an excellent restaurant.“
“The location is a gold mind being that its so close to the colleges in the area, easy parking, atmosphere was good, vibe was mellow and quiet, food was A-mazing they a great drinking selection. They also handed me a complimentary drink after all that eating and spending lol and I appreciated that. Come and check it out and enjoy the savory food and ambiance✌?.“
“Four years since my last review/experience with this establishment and it's still amazing! From the food, to the service and ambiance. This isn't a seafood boil that is oily, greasy and flavorless. This seafood boil packs a punch of flavors, it's so delicious and for the month of December they're offering buy 1, get 1 snow crab legs and king crab legs. That is AMAZING! Literally 2lbs of seafood for the price of one. I tried their pomegranate martini, highly recommend. It was a creeper. The peach lemonade with vodka is also very delicious, you'd think it's lemonade with no alcohol but it has plenty. Haha, thank you to my server who played magical tricks and really was a pleasure to be around, he was super nice, funny and helpful. Ben's crab thank you for another great experience after so long, happy you did not go downhill as an establishment. I will be back and it won't take so long!!“
“My recent experience was exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Daria. From her warm greetings to her attentive care throughout the meal, every interaction was a testament to her professionalism and dedication. Highly recommended for both delicious food and impeccable service.“
