Cap't Loui Carrollton

This hidden gym in Carrollton Texas has the best seafood boil of any place I’ve ever been to. As a seafood fanatic, this is miles ahead of any other seafood restaurant I have been to. I ordered three pounds of crawfish with their signature “Captain Loui” sauce medium heat and it was delicious to say the least. The wait time was incredibly short compared to other seafood boil spots in the DFW area and the staff were friendly and kind. I didn’t see an employee who didn’t look happy to be there which was a nice touch to the already amazing atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone!

We got the 4lb combo bag! It came with 3 sides, and an extra pound of lobster or snow crab. Service was great! The manager was friendly and made our experience amazing.

Came here on a busy Friday night on a date night. Of course we were expecting it to be busy so we didn’t mind the wait. Waited about 30 minutes for our table which was no problem. Got seated. After about 30 minutes after ordering our seafood boil we didn’t have our food. The owners a very nice husband and wife actually came over and asked us if we were still waiting. We told them yes and they went to see what was happening.

Our food was eventually brought out and it was delicious. The owners were super apologetic and wanted to make our first experience there amazing. We understand mistakes happen . They threw in a snow crab cluster and dessert on the house. Which they did not have to do. They truly were the nicest owners I’ve ever met. Will definitely be back just because of their amazing hospitality.

Quite the distance for us, but glad we made the drive. Great value when you considered all the special this place offers. We had 3 lbs crawfish, 1 lb shrimps, 1 dz blue point oyster, 1 whole lobster, sausage, corn, potato, sweet potato fries and unlimited garlic noodles all for less than $80. Place looks new and super clean but they have been open for over 2 years she said. Come try them out and support. Especially happy hour 3-6 and $1 oyster all day Tuesday. We will definitely come back for that.

Obsessed with this place !! They have so many specials.
1. HAPPY HOUR 50% off all alcohol and fried baskets Monday — Thursday 3-6 PM!
I love their fish n chips. They use cod here and it’s delicious! They also have a fisherman’s platter which is calamari, fish, shrimp, and soft shell crab. As far as alcoholic drinks, they’re known for their Cap’t Coolers and they have some beers on tap!
2. $1 oysters on Tuesdays all day !? Gulf & Blue Point oysters!
3. They’re currently running a promotion until TBD — order 4 pounds of seafood and you get unlimited garlic noodles with a free seafood add on (snow crab cluster, whole lobster, or lobster tail).

*Make sure to call the store and ask if they’re still running all promotions. Also recommend making reservations !!*

They’re known for their boiled seafood (clams are my favorite because they’re on the bigger side compared to other boiled seafood restaurants ) but their hidden gem is their spicy chicken sandwich. You can choose the spice level on the sandwich and wow — the hot is HOTTTT ❤️‍🔥 also friendly on your wallet 😉

My first time having seafood boil was in Florida and ofcourse it was amazing. Since I've tried a few boil spots in the area and this one was the most impressive so far. I definitely want to come back for the garlic noodles and calamari.

We had lunch here for the first time and it was amazing the crawfish was on point! The crab legs was very good! The sauce was some of the best and I tried the hot it was perfect.
And the waitress Zoe was even better the service she provided made the food better! She was very attentive and very kind.
I hope to have that experience again upon our return...

Absolutely delicious! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Nick was very welcoming and polite, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

What a drive (avoid tolls), We went with a group of friends and they were able to arrange seating for almost a dozen who were arriving at different times. The Capri sun spiked drinks were fun. I think we had about a dozen of a dozen oysters, their sampler, their boil, more fries and noodles. Staff was patient and kind to first timers, good place.

We were apart of the other reviews with over 21 guests at the table.

Our food was late and missing items too. Some of the food was cold.

MP board hanging on the wall above our table also misrepresented amounts for crab on pricing. The manager would not honor their posted price. And extremely condescending and rude.

Our friends food was ordered on the 2nd ticket and arrived after every guest at our table had finished their meals. Their food never arrived with the rest of us. We didn’t get to share a meal together. They were offered one free dessert then forced to pay 19% gratuity when you are NOt required by law to do so with our less than desirable service and food.

The manager has since come on here and made claims to our friends reviews that some people from our table apologized for their remarks and behavior. This is also NOT true and my friends were actually very polite and we all were VERY upset. For a manger to lie in this is also not ok. What a horrible overall experience and horrible price to pay for this kind of food and service. Red lobster is better and treats people better than this. That’s really sad- good luck with your experience. I hope it is better than ours …was 21 guests bills over 1500 and didn’t even say I’m sorry and only made erroneous statements to cover up their poor service and food. Beware!

This has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a restaurant. Food was late- so late that the rest of our party was finished eating before our food arrived. We also were missing items, and they made little to no assistance for anything. The food was less than stellar. The chicken tenders were paper thin strips and were horrible. The soft shell crab was bitter. They offered us one free dessert for our issues for 3 guests of 21. Forced 19% gratuity to add insult to injury. Horrible
I hate leaving bad reviews. As a fellow business owner I can’t fix what I don’t know about, but if you blatantly don’t assist with anything wrong with your business then a review is warranted.
