Captain Tom's Seafood & Oyster Bar

SHEEEEEESH. This isn't 5/5 this is like 10/5. I can't talk about this place enough. The food - spectacular. The service - quick and direct. The restaurant takes the shape of a boat!!! I think we spent a total of $47 and we got a dozen of oysters, 2 seafood gumbo soups, catfish fillets w/ fries, and 2 micheladas. I simply want to go back immediately I leave the restaurant. It's that tasty. As you walk in you see a central bar that everyone sits at and it's almost like you get dinner and a show. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this place is. Do yourself a favor and go!!!

If you're looking for a place to keep the night going with more beer and are 'drunk' hungry....this is the place for you. that being said, you'd have to pay me to eat here again!

Capitan Toms is a must for me when I go to Houston. There are many places to eat in Houston but this is our favorite. My wife introduced me to Captain Toms over 20yrs ago now that I think about it. Sheeeeesh. They have good seafood such as oysters , crab, shrimp, fish, gumbo and much more. They take your order and make it fresh. You can actually see the cooks in the kitchen getting down. The prices are amazingly reasonable for the food you are getting. When I get my food I usually get a handmade in house micholada. They are great a go with the ambiance. It is very loud at Capitan Toms. But a good loud like you know everyone is having a great time. Stop in of you have a chance.

Who? And I mean WHO gave this anything better than a 1 star?! Yelp, you failed us.Tried to come here two weeks ago on a Saturday and it was soooooooooo packed. They don't have any seating support so it's a dog eat dog for around a bar type seating. Ended up leaving and low and behold tried again today.Far, far less people today. The seafood platter is what we both ordered. Bland, like no flavor or seasoning. Literally fried food.Service? What service. Talk about not really having to do anything but take an order.SUPER filthy! The worker in front of us was chucking oysters. Took the gloves off. Dug through and SMASHED the trash. Then continued to get peoples drinks and handling by the mouth of the drink, and cutting limes. ZERO HAND WASHING. Then watched one of the females cooking in the back, eat something while cooking, hands touching mouth and continue handling food. This place is out of control.If you're good with no service, bland overpriced food, and extreme filth and unsanitary practices...this is your place! You couldn't pay me to go back here. Try at your own risk. Lol

Captain Toms is an amazing spot for oysters!! Prices raised up to $16 for a dozen but price isn't bad at all. This restaurant is shaped like a boat which is pretty cool. The only bad part about this place is their limited seating. There's a bar space wrapped around the place for customers to sit at. You'd have to wait for spots to clear up and you're able to sit anywhere you like on a first come/serve basis. Definitely a good spot to come for seafood!

walked in and then right back out...dirty! Reminds me of an old dive bar and smells like it too. If you're ok with that, then proceed with your order.

I'm been coming here for I think 30 plus years. There is not a fresher almost clear oyster in any city unless you're on the boat!! They are alive before you eat them which is the rule with me. Oysters turn a beige/gray color when they have died for a period of time. The shrimp are like eating candyWhole fresh snapper not frozenThis resturant is packed at 1115 AM and never slows down till closing.Captain Tom's is a model resturant that everyone wishes they owned. So go early to sample the delicacies there!Doug KneisI'm just happy that I get to eat there whenever I want.

Food 4/5Service 5/5Ambiance 4/5Always consistent! Captain Tom's is your blue print oyster bar. Shaped like a boat on the outside. Inside you'll find the oyster bar smacked in the middle and seats along the perimeter. Service is always great. Where else can you find a bowl of gumbo for $5? The micheladas are a must have!

This one of favorite places to eat seafood in Houston!!! Every thing is fresh and tasty. I love the Tex mini (2 shrimp and 2 fish) The price can be beat! It's a simple place! Employees are always nice!!!

Captain Tom's Seafood Restaurant was my pick for our Friday night dinner.The parking lot was full andthis place was packed until they close.Be prepared to sit close to the next group of guests.Like elbow close/ to each other.....They may have had helpful waiter's /Our waiter was (no help) on anything.Also did I say he never came back to check on what we may have needed through out our meal. We had to get up and ask for a Tea refill and extra tartar sauce.We got their hot freshly fried seafood platter, with fried catfish, shrimp,oysters,& stuffed crab which however had to much breading in it to tease the crab meat and also French fries It was $19.xx /(BUT) the menu said $17.55 but who's arguing(Hahahahaha)Okay!plus tax Total bill was under 45.00/ for 2 people without a tip.You can Substitute certain seafood on the platter.Surprisingly they don't make or serve any frozen drinks, basically they have Beer, lots of beer, and they're famous for their Michelada's other than that have a Coke product because the Tea was basic and had no flavor or no sugar and they were out of lemonade.They serve (No) desserts either.Captain Tom's would not be my first seafood restaurant choice , but I definitely would go back for their fried fish, shrimp and oysters. It was delicious.
