Reviews for Captain Benny's in Houston, TX
This place is cute. Food is flavorful. Shrimp is breaded with what looked like cornmeal and not your typical batter. Tried... alligator for the first time and it was good here. Gets really busy for lunch on Sundays. Read more
Really good seafood and better prices than most seafood restaurants in the area.
Came on Friday at 1:30 p.m. the server took about 5 minutes to take our drink order, (you decide if that's too long or not). The... food was good, Cajun style obviously. Ample parking for the size of the location. A few dollars above average price for the foodbut within reason. Overall good place. Read more
Very nice and clean. The cashier is very helpfull. I hope it tastes as good as it smells.
I don't even know where to start, overall it was a bad experience. When I entered the restaurant I was told I could sit wherever... I like, I sat at a table by the bar. I waited for a decent amount of time before one of the server's told my server she had atable. When it came time to order I asked what the price was for the oysters (baked & non baked) she had to go ask someone else3 times before I had a clear answer. When the oysters came out they looked delicious but that wasn't the case, the oysters werenot cleaned properly and still had bits of sand and pieces of shell in them.... I should have left. But I ordered dinner,Stuffed crab and shrimp. It came with four fried shrimp, one stuffed crab, two hush puppies, garlic bread french fries andcoleslaw. The shrimp was good but the stuffed crab didn't taste right, when I looked at what they stuffed the crab with I foundthey didn't even devein the small shrimp in the stuffing. I'm disappointed that I paid for this service and food, I will not bereturning and I encourage others to steer clear of this place. Read more
Friendly and fast service with good food. I had a crawfish pirogue (sandwich, with mushrooms, green onions, and cheese) and some... Shrimp Diablo. I give the food a 4/5 and the service a big 5/5. Really nice folks, and food was just fine. 5/5 is reserved forCajun food served within 100 miles of Lake Pontchartrain. Read more
The crawfish etouffee Rice wasn't cooked all the way not cool. They don't sell boiled crawfish don't do the same mistake I did... but since I was there I ordered some gumbo it was good. Read more
Love this place! Gumbo and fried shrimp are my favorite. We really enjoy sitting in the boat part up at the bar. Raw oysters are... really good too and super fresh. We've been eating here for years! Read more
