Reviews for Cap't Loui in Queens, NY
I would give it four stars, but considering my mother's opinion, I've dropped it down to three. Got the snow crab and shrimp (no... head) seafood boil combo (capt loui sauce, mild) with free cajun fries for just about $60. There's a better combo for the price,so you should check that out before you order. The boil was quite salty and oily, so you should try the lemon pepper sauceinstead if you're not a very strong flavor type of person. I enjoyed it, but my mom didn't. The cajun fries - to put it inmodern terms - were absolutely wack. I don't know what kind of seasonings they use, but it's too much. Made my mouth feel drierthan the sahara desert, which is disappointing because how do you ruin a potato. Like it takes a lot of effort to ruin a potatofor me. I may try again and update my review though because I have yet to try their garlic noodles which everyone says isgood. Edit: Tried the garlic noodles? very plain. Not sure why people like them so much. Read more
My crab legs and drink were good. My lobster was tough not edible---i sent it back and replaced it with an order of fried shrimp... which was ok. im giving this restaurant 2 stars for imposing a 18% gratuity to my check without warning before hand. I dinedalone my table of service was for a party of one--when asked why i was being imposed with that gratuity without advising mefirst, the server got offended and took it off.Then he made a rude comment how im making him "work hard " and dont wanna pay thegratuity---who ever said i wasnt going to pay gratuity ? I simply asked for the check and ask why the gratuity was added withoutmy knowledge--I reminded him that i am a customer--asking for a lid and a container to go, or asking for an item not accessibleto my disposal---IS YOUR JOB---I felt insulted and he would have never made that comment in front of my boyfriend--- I gave himthe $15 added gratuity as he clearly needed it more than i did to ever make that comment to me--but i will NEVER walk foot inthis restaurant again. im also filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as im sure imposing an 18% gratuity to a checkfor one person without advising them first has to be a violation of some kind. PLEASE BE FOREWARNED AND LOOK AT YOUR CHECK! Read more

Amazing!! Was lucky enough to go when business was slow. My friend and I shared half a dozen oysters and I ordered the shrimp... boil and garlic noodles. I had never had oysters before, so I didn't know what to expect. But these tasted fresh anddelicious. Let me tell you -- the reviews recommending the garlic noodles are spot on. It complemented the shrimp boilperfectly. Chose the Capt Loui's sauce with medium spiciness and it was definitely the right call. Not to salty, which is whatI was worried about. My friend devoured his clam chowder in a matter of minutes, so I'm guessing he enjoyed it. This place issuper underrated. I'll definitely be coming back! So glad to have found a seafood place in the neighborhood. Read more
Food was amazing! Had a bucket with snow crab, mussels, and prawns. The flavour was intense and tasty, and with the garlic... noodles (which were phenomenal) it was pretty damn good! There was quite a lot of oil in the bucket but that?s just how it is Iguess, can?t be too picky with these seafood buckets. Would 10/10 recommend for a cute family style meal with hearty food andwill leave you feeling great (although needing to detox). Service was amazing too and made us feel very comfortable. We wereinitially a bit apprehensive because when we arrived the place was completely empty, but were very happy we stayed :-) Read more
