Cap't Loui Seafood boil

It was our first time trying seafood boil and this place did not disappoint! Their house sauce was absolutely chef’s kiss along with everything else. And the staff here is truly wonderful! They made a slight mistake with our order and we ended up getting complimentary dessert from them! Many other restaurants I have been to do not even bother doing that so I was truly appreciative of them. 10/10 I recommend this place especially if it’s your first time!

The 🦞🦐🌽🥦 seafood boils with a mild Cajun flavor were spot-on. All the employees, including the manager Alex, were kind and attentive. The wide, high ceilings and spacious atmosphere made the experience well worth it for both the flavor and the vibe. I really like quiet atmosphere so I can have conversation with my friend.

Stopped by Cap't Loui Seafood Boil in Sunnyside and tried the shrimp po boy. It was ok nothing special, but not bad either. The shrimp were decent and the sandwich did the job if you're craving something quick. The fries were a bit soggy, but they did have a nice lemon pepper flavor that helped. Overall, it's an average spot and fine for a casual bite if you're already in the area

Friend who tried Cap’t Loui in Cape Cod highly recommended it when she saw it open in Sunnyside, Queens. Prices are good, so you don’t have to wait to treat yourself only on special occasions. The Capt’n Loui sauce boil was really good and 1 pound per person was very filling. The garlic noodles as a side was delicious, and we tried it dipped in the boil’s sauce, too. Service was spectacular. Minh Kha gave us his favorites as suggestions and cleaned up after us well. All of my favorite pop tunes were playing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.

This review is not written with the intention of harming any business, especially not businesses in my neighborhood. On the contrary, I hope it can be taken as an opportunity to improve. I understand how expensive everything has become — products, food, staff, maintenance, and rent. That said, I’m sharing my experience as it was. The place is large and when we arrived it was almost empty, with only a couple of tables occupied. Even so, we waited 30 to 40 minutes for our food to arrive. We ordered lobster and sandwiches. The lobster was very small, and the sandwiches were unfortunately bland and nothing special. The best part of the meal was definitely the fries. The service was average. For such a large place with very few customers, we expected more attention. It also started raining, so we stayed at the table longer, but no one came by to ask if we wanted to order anything else to make the wait more pleasant. I’m happy to see businesses grow in my area, but it’s also disappointing to notice that after COVID, customer service and food quality have declined in many restaurants. If you decide to visit, go with patience and be aware of the long waiting times. Hopefully this review helps the place improve, because the space and location are there — it’s just a matter of paying more attention to the details.
