Good deal on the gulf oysters. They were all tasty, but a bit on the small side. I ordered a half dozen and upon seeing them- and eating them all so quickly- I ordered another half dozen. $10 for 6, $15 for 12. Good deal!I ordered the shrimp and scallop kabobs. There were green pepper and onions and some sort of red powder. Upon tasting the first scallop, I found the flavor to be funky. I eventually determined it was the red powder. Possibly Old Bay? IDK. Anyway, I scraped the powder off the remaining shrimp and scallops and found them to be much more to my liking. I could taste them, and not the powder. To each his own. Next time I'll ask for that to be left off. Under the kabobs was some delicious rice. Cole slaw was good but small. Service was very good and the place was clean.I'd come back!

Oh, so goodGarlic bread, fried tilapia, fried jumbo shrimps, and french fries. Captain Benny's, has always been known for good, fresh seafood drinks, with a small, cozy environment, and the old fashion service, service with a smile.

We heard about this restaurant from a friend who lived in Houston during the '70's and recommended their seafood. Turns out it is still there and the food is fresh and not expensive for what you get. We enjoyed the fried cod special and the grilled shrimp and scallops. We've eaten there twice since and will return again. Good choice!

It's a small restaurant but they do have good food and cold drinks. We opted to sit in the outdoor seating area just because it felt a little claustrophobic inside. Servers were friendly and attentive.

A Houston institution! I've been eating at Capt Benny's literally my entire life. The food is always fresh. The service is always superb. I particularly enjoy this location because the staff is always so warm and welcoming. By far my favorite dive seafood spot in Houston! Give them a try.

We were looking for something casual but good local seafood. This was the perfect spot! Sat at the counter, and our waiter, Guy, who has been there for 20+ years, was super helpful, entertaining, and friendly. We ordered the baked oysters, which were super tasty, and the shrimp and scallop kabob. It came with a delicious shrimp and veggie rice. We also had fried shrimp and stuffed crab. Everything was fresh, and the prices seemed fair. Can't wait to come back on our next visit to Houston.

Service was great and the food was exactly what we came for. Most importantly they had crab fingers! They are so hard to find in Houston. Capt Benny's did better with the sautéed version which were tasty. Ask for horseradish to kick up their cocktail sauce. Their drinks are inexpensive. Definitely a weekday dinner option worthy of the trip.

I went here back in the 80's and it was the best Seafood ever. Had an UBER delivery and it was the worst experience ever. Food nasty, Uber delivery terrible and not safe. The bag containing the food was wet all overThe delivery from Uber was a disaster but Capt Bennys was just as bad. I had to trash everything.
