I had such a wonderful experience at Cap’t Loui Broadway! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff here are genuinely warm, attentive, and professional, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Although Cap’t Loui is a chain, this location feels different—it has its own charm and really goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to my friends!

I visited Cap’t Loui Broadway today with a friend and had a great experience! The boiling seafood was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. I chose the mild spice level, which had a nice kick without being too spicy — perfect for anyone who doesn’t handle heat well but still wants flavor.
The fried calamari and lemon pepper French fries were delicious — crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal.
They also offer a good variety of cocktails and beer at reasonable prices, which is always a plus. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The service was slow, and the staff’s attitude made the situation worse. Several items were taken incorrectly, including our seafood order and a side order—fries were requested, but rice was delivered instead. My children briefly touched the rice before realizing it was the wrong item, yet it was taken back without any acknowledgment of the mistake.
When the incorrect seafood item was brought out, the server became argumentative rather than offering an apology. She removed the snow crab from the boil bag and added the lobster directly into the sauce in front of us, which felt unprofessional and concerning from a food-handling standpoint.
Overall, the quality of both the food and the service did not reflect the $130 we spent, and we left still hungry. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment.

What a roller coaster tonight was. Let me start from the beginning….
I had called two weeks ago to make a reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday for a party of 10. They confirmed it and said not to be 15 min late or they would be forced to cancel our reservation. I even called again to double confirm and we were all set. So we showed up early tonight and stood in the entry way for over 10 minutes before someone finally acknowledged us. (One employee stood in front of us that whole time with her back turned to us without a single acknowledgment).
The restaurant was PACKED. No sign in sight that they had even attempted to reserve a table for us. So finally we grabbed a server and let them know we had a reservation for 10 at 7pm and they ran to the back. Finally what I believe to be the manager came up to us with a clipboard to help us. He claims the reservation was never made (I showed him the call log on my phone) and he apologized and asked me to write our name and number down. He said he would do his very best to get us in as soon as he could.
So, we went next door for a drink while we waited. He called me about 30 minutes later to keep me in the loop (which I really appreciated) and to let us know that they were waiting on one party to finish eating and pay. I said not problem, thank you for keeping me in the loop. He had offered for half of us to go over and start, but I requested that we all get to have the experience at the same time and to let us know when our full table was ready. He called 10 minutes later to give me a 5 min warning and we all headed over.
Once we got there, the service was INCREDIBLE. Great servers, quick service, split our checks without us asking, etc. the food quality was good and we were having a great time. THEN, the servers dropped the checks and we were still waiting for our payments to be made when the manager came over and urgently said “we need you to leave now”. Uhh…what? After how patient we have been you are asking us to leave when our credit cards are not even with us (still with the servers)? I explained we were waiting for our payments to be processed and our party to use the restroom then we were leaving. But that alone was frustrating after how patient we had been with the whole situation. We also had barely been there for an hour after all was said and done.
BUT THEN, while our party was still using the restroom, a family sat down at our open chairs and proceeded to just GLARE at us. They then started falsely accusing us of being rude, taking too much time to eat and saying we were verbally harassing their family members. (NOT true at all. We didn’t even know they were there). They were truly about to start a fight with us. After we had been so patient and understanding, I was incredibly frustrated that the staff did not step in to help us on this matter until I turned around and had to ask someone to come over because this other family was heavily escalating the situation. The manager then stood there so we could all leave but that family continued to verbally harass our group as we left.
I WOULD NEVER. SIT AT A STRANGERS TABLE AND STARE AT THEM UNTIL THEY FELT UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO LEAVE. THEN ACCUSE THEM OF HARASSMENT AND MORE.
If this were my restaurant, those people would not have been allowed to stay. This was NOT a cheap meal. In fact, one of the most expensive seafood boils we’ve been to in the city. We were so patient tonight and for all of that, after the night turned around to not feel the staff went above and beyond for us, and to rush us out to accommodate bullies? No thank you. Very disappointed on how the night ended and we will need to take our business elsewhere for future birthdays and seafood boils.

Delicious Cajun seafood boil! The seasoning was perfect — flavorful, spicy in the right way, and generously portioned. The seafood was fresh, and everything came out steaming hot and well-cooked.

Went on a Friday at around 6pm. The place was not very crowded. Wait is no more than 10 minutes. Staff was semi-attentive, we had to flag them down to get refills.
They have draft beer but it is never working so they give you bottles. They were semi-cold. We really enjoyed the happy hour drinks for $7. We ordered blue and black colors, definitely recommend them.
They gave a new notice with the menus that you will be receiving less complimentary sides with your seafood boil. Our bags had 1/2 a potato and small piece of corn each.

I was so surprised at how good the service and the food is when compared to the reasonable prices. I totally expected my bill to be insane but it wasn’t.
Its in a nice part of Harlem. Not much parking so give yourself leeway if you’re meeting family or friends there.
I especially enjoyed the soft shell crab and oysters. Their drinks are pretty strong so be mindful.

Great lunch spot! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, but the shrimp roll and lobster roll absolutely stole the show.
Service was quick and friendly. If you love seafood—or even just want to treat yourself to something amazing—this restaurant is worth going to!
