"We’ve gone on two separate occasions and both time we notice a roach problem. First one crawled around my son’s plate. My son killed it and we showed it to manager,he gave us a refund just for that plate. We typically like bar style environments along with some micheladas. Second time we went to enjoy some beers right before we decided to order some food, thinking maybe the roach was a one time thing. We seen another crawling on the shelf where the food orders come out the kitchen. I’m not an angry or malicious person, I just wanted to give my honest review"
"Ordered the whole fried catfish, added 3 Jumbo shrimp. It looked good as pictured until I noticed the shrimp "were not" devined before fried "unbelievable". It was over priced compared to other seafood boats for the same food. Poor prep quality not devining the shrimp. Captain Benny after all these years in business -SMH! Would not recommend."
"My husband and I love seafood and when we saw this place on Google we had to go. As soon as we walked in on a Friday night and we were able to seat ourselves. The chairs were metal and uncomfortable for a wider built person like myself and it was pretty cold but there is also outdoor seating. We sat inside. We ordered the half shell combo to start because my husband was craving oysters. The boiled shrimp is cocktail style so keep that in mind. I don't love oysters, especially raw, but I tried one with Louisiana hot sauce and a cracker and it tasted quite clean, no grit or brine taste. On to the mains. I got the shrimp poboy and fries with a stuffed shrimp and my husband got the crawfish pirogue. The crawfish pirogue was fine, nothing really miraculous. The fries were hot and fresh and my poboy was awesome! I put all the fixin's on it with a little bit of lemon mixes in the tartar sauce. I personally don't think it was worth $80 total but the half shell combo was like $25 as the price wasn't on the menu and we only realized when we got the bill. Definitely not worth it for half a dozen raw oysters and six cold shrimp. Know what to order when you're there. Anything crawfish is gonna be from a frozen bag, but the fried foods and salads are a safe choice it seems."
"Nothing fancy or extravagant to make you say Wowwwww! The atmosphere was blahhhh! Very one sided culture atmosphere. I Guess it’s due to the area. Captain Bennie I am used to is popping! Southwest side of town. Not here. I had a big plate with huge portions. Taste was just okay. Special for $20 good price. Tilapia did not taste completely fresh but filled me up. Shrimp huge and good. Gumbo okay. I will not be dining there again. Was just in the area and wanted seafood. Thought it would be the same as the others. I Guess it was franchised!"
