Captain Tom’s Seafood & Oyster Bar

We recently purchased a dozen fried oysters-I should have taken a photo- They cut the oysters in pieces- May or may not have been an actual dozen, but in either case. I like whole oysters and not as much breading. I've never had a restaurant do this before-so I'll be sure to ask. They should call them oyster nuggets.Purchased the double fried catfish-It had the bones from both sides attached. I expect bones in my fried whole flounder-but not catfish.

One thing you can guarantee here is very fresh seafood! They had fresh flounder and we had it done salt and pepper style. Very minimal breading, maybe just a little corn meal. So fresh and light. We always get salt and pepper shrimp! No breading but deep fried. Hush puppies are my favorite side. They have just enough jalapeño and not dry like some can be. Always very friendly service and Very fast!! If it looks too busy, just wait. It's never too long and worth it!

Their servings have downsized a lot from what I remember, but the quality of the food and service has definitely stayed the same. It's beeen years since I've been back, but I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I honestly still recognize a few of the guys working there from the 90's. I feel like they were the originators of the micheladas with their signature raw oyster or shrimp! The ambiance has always been super busy, loud and noisy, which gave it that boat crew feel! The seafood has always been super fresh, and their platters always come out super hot and crispy! I always go for their seafood platters, a bowl of gumbo, and on occasion, a dozen or two of oysters! Extra lemon and cocktail sauce please!!! Omg salivating now....

Shame. This was a fabulous place when I first brought my mother here 14 years ago. Now, it's a sad facsimile of what it used to be. My husband's favorite meal is shrimp and I was really excited to bring him here, so it was disappointing that the quality of the shrimp didn't seem to be what it used to be, the place wasn't kept as clean as it used to be and the overall vibe wasn't the positive fun place it used to be. We won't be going back.

This restaurant is like NO OTHER and have the BEST seafood! I have come her many times, but just had to compliment them. Their service is superb from the moment you walk in. They greet their customers, get as many people seated as possible and accommodate you to find the best open space. The servers are very attentive and on top of making sure their clients are happy and able to enjoy their experience sitting inside a BOAT. The Micheladas are a MUST and are best with Oysters or a Seafood platter. I had the crab fingers with French fries. It is my fave and great if you do not want to go to heavy with the seafood. The Gumbo is a nice appetizer and very tasty with crackers while you wait for your order. Please note you can have your Michelada with your preference of beer. However, I have always liked mine with Dos Equis. Nevertheless, I will continue to come to this location as the food is always great and the service is excellent! Thank you Captain Toms for always putting your clients first!

Finally writing a review after years of coming here. And let me tell you, this place never disappoints! A small boat-shaped restaurant that's hard to miss. It's small inside, so expect a wait during dinner hours and on weekends. But man is it worth it! Anything you eat here will be fresh and delicious. My favorite is the fried shrimp. Tried the boiled shrimp for the first time and it was sooo good! My family usually gets the Texas Mini, a combo of fried shrimp and catfish, which also slaps. Gumbo also is great from what I remember. And for my drinkers, you have GOT to try their michelada! Cold & spicy with your beer of choice, it's seriously the perfect complement to the fried and fishy foods! Cannot wait to come back!

I've been going to Captain Tom's for many years, and I took my daughter there for her first time, and we had the gumbo, raw oysters, fried shrimp, and fried fish. Everything was cooked to perfection in the oysters were super good.

THE best miches and seafooood! The line might be long sometimes but definitely worth the wait!

Awesome oyster bar and more. Great food and service at a reasonable price. Seafood was fresh and tasty. Prepared with attention to cooking it just right. Moist, tender and hot. Perfection !

Crap show of a place. Totally unorganized -- but attempts are half made to be organized. Someone at the bar gave us there seats. Allegedly there is a line of people mingling by the front door and to the side. So we were commanded to get up by a bartender/ waiter. Really felt targeted. Won't be coming back again. Better to go to a cleaner more organized seafood restaurant
