Reviews for Capt. Benny's in Houston, TX
Somethings wrong when the condiment container is bigger then the fish and shrimp portions. I ordered the combo meal and it's... honestly not even kids size. Everything is unseasoned and dipped in the same breading. Around 25 soggy French fries, 4 smallbreaded shrimp like things and 2 fish nuggets. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. And they have the nerve to charge a Togo fee....HighlyDisappointed. Read more

Normally when I come here. My food is always on point but this time it wasn?t. The gumbo was watery, the fried fish was slimy.... The oysters was on point, nice a huge. The service was great but the food wasn't but I will give them a try again.... Read more
To finish our Midwest business and vacation trip we had our last meal at Captain Benny's before heading back to Atlanta. I've... never like gumbo in any form or fashion but I love their Land lovers gumbo. We ate our Gumbo before I took a photo. Myhusband had raw oysters and we shared a seafood platter. THe staff were five star professionals with great personalities. Don't forget an ice Cold IPA beer served in a frozen mug. Read more
It?s rare that a restaurant earns one star. Even the worst establishments usually have some redeeming qualities. Either a... restaurant has to poison me OR strike out on food quality, portion size, service and price to earn that distinction. Theappetizer consisted of six medium size shrimp tossed on a plate with a little container of cocktail sauce straight from thebottle. The shrimp were served shelled and tasted like the had been in the walk-in cooler for one day too long. There was nohint of any spices and a lemon wedge was absent. The fish dinner was delivered 30 minutes later. The server had warned me that,since it was broiled. It might be on the small size. There were three fragments of Sysco Wholesale?s finest frozen fish, eachone about the size of silver dollar. Anything this small is almost impossible to cook right and these came out overcooked anddried out. Apparently, the restaurant is very generous with the batter if you order the fish fried. The coleslaw was drenchedin a vinaigrette dressing?not the creamy sauce that is customary in the south. The French fries were Sysco Wholesale?s finestcrinkly cut fries from the 25 lb bag. I did complain about the fish and coleslaw to the manager. He mumbled something aboutspecial recipes and inflation, rolled his eyes, and resumed slouching in his chair. I paid the $50 bill for two people and leftdisappointed and hungry. Read more
I would NOT recommend this place.. They are very high priced and the food just isn't worth the price they charge. They charge... $25.99 for a lb of hot and spicy shrimp but there is nothing hot and spicy about them. They were nice size shrimp but there wasno flavor. The jalapeno boudain balls was the best thing we had. There was a long wait to order and even a longer wait for ourfood. We were there over and hour and a half and NEVER got a refill or even asked if we wanted a refill. We went here for afamily lunch but was disappointed from start to finish. Read more
The Food was amazing. I enjoyed every moment. The waiter was awesome as well. I had the boiled seafood platter and my girl had... the fried seafood platter with fries. This is a good spot to enjoy some good southern seafood. Read more
Stopped in after a Texans game and got quick and prompt service. The manager accommodated us quickly in the patio area. He tuned... on the outdoor heaters and made sure we could see the tvs. The waitress was quick to take our order and quick with the food.Food was tasty! Temperature was perfect. We had a good dinner here. You must try the baked oysters. The park ones weredelicious. Read more
