First time going. Neon sign outside feels like you’re in Florida. The inside matches the outside feel with plenty of light at the tables so it’s not too dark. We ordered crawfish dip. One of the best dips I’ve ever had. And the chips were seasoned with garlic-heavy creole seasoning. Yum! I had red snapper, corn bread, and broccoli. Husband had surf and turf with red beans a hush puppies. We ended with blueberry cheesecake. Couldn’t fault a thing. It was delicious !

First time trying alligator, got the gator bites as an appetizer. It’s busy because it the best place to eat in town but the service was great. I enjoyed my meal and the appetizers and especially loved the beignets. If I’m ever in town again I would go back and try other menu items.

We came a little after 11 on Saturday. Time for a review since this is our second time here. We were seated right away. The waitress and host were nice and accommodating. The food wait wasn’t long. The waitress tended to us just the right amount of times. The food was delicious and the menu is great and diverse especially for two picky eating kids under the age of 8, the bone in pork chop is what I ordered and it’s the best pork chop I’ve ever had. The environment is family friendly but would be great for a date Night. We Will be back.

This place has great atmosphere. Love the music choice and plenty of decorations to look at. My sampler was great. I'll be back a few more times while I'm in town.

Pulled this place up on Google Maps looking for a good rated place along my trip. All of the food looked great and the people around me enjoyed their meals. I had the gumbo which was fantastic, something I'd find in Baton Rouge. The shrimp poor boy was good too. I'll stop here again my trip through. The staff at the bar are fantastic.

Fate - The only reason we ended up at Captain John's. We split the Seafood Sampler; her favorite was the catfish, mine was the etouffee, but it was all very good. We were fortunate to be taken care of by Hailey and the service was what I would hope to get anywhere. Prices were beyond reasonable. Not necessarily on a regular route for me, but if I'm within 100 miles again, it will be.

I recently dined at this restaurant, and wow—it truly exceeded my expectations! Despite the busy atmosphere and a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the grilled shrimp, corn on the cob, and broccoli, and let me tell you, each bite was bursting with flavor. I don’t usually finish my meals completely, but this time I practically cleaned my plate—it was that delicious! The staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, which added to the overall wonderful experience. If you're willing to wait for exceptional food and service, this place is a must-visit!
