Captain Tom's Seafood & Oyster Bar: A Taste of the Sea Awaits You

Such a great experience. I stopped in to order fried oysters to go, for my husband & me. The staff is SO NICE. While I was waiting, I ordered a beer & asked for lime. The server squeezed fresh lime with a huge press into my mug & salted in a way I've never seen done. Best Corona I've ever had. EVERYONE who works there is happy & smiling, including the kitchen staff. You can feel the joy. Our oysters were fresh & delicious! We ordered extra sides of hush puppies, because their batter is outstanding - soft, but crispy & just a little bit spicy. I'd rather go here than a fancy restaurant any day.

Heard a lot about their gumbo and decided to try it. I can say it was not the best gumbo I have had, Razzo's and Willie's has better. But it was the best gumbo I have had for the price, a bowl for under $5 is a great choice. I had the catfish and shrimp plate. The shrimp was really good and big but the catfish was lacking seasoning. I put some hot sauce on the catfish and it was good after that also the catfish pieces were pretty big. There is only counter seating so not really a good place for a family to eat.

Service is bit lacking during lunch hours and they tend to cater to specific demographics over others so you could be swinging your arm for a while to get their attention but they would be walking right past you. My rating is high because the food tasted pretty good, generous amount and decent prices. I ordered texas mini and the seafood gumbo which tasted awesome.

The restaurant is located and designed like a small ship on the outside, but is lively and cozy on the inside. The seats are close together, the food is prepared right in front of you, and the food is quite delicious. The oysters are fresh and the soup is the best.The price list is also reasonable.The waiters are quick and friendly.

Finally came to Captain Tom’s ! i’ve always heard wonderful things. Seating can be difficult to find since they’re so busy, you just have to wait for someone to get up. Service is fast and friendly. You have to try their micheladas, the spice and citrus are perfect. The double stuffed crab was pretty good. We also ordered the crab claws which were a nice little snack. I’ll be back to try some oysters next time.

Flounder and oysters are the best in town. Be sure to call ahead to see if they have flounder available. It’s hit or miss on when they have it, so best to call ahead. Also, their gumbo is delicious and I don’t even like gumbo! Michelada mix is fantastic.

If you like seafood (raw oysters) and micheladas along with fast service next tinw you are in Houston. Definately give this place a try. Two thumbs up

Every time we try to come here it’s always super packed. By chance we were able to finally eat here because it was raining, but still packed nonetheless. I see why people love to come here, the boisterous camaraderie and how people were interacting with each other was fun. The food comes out piping hot! The oysters were pretty big and fresh compared to other places where they can be quite tiny. The only grievance was that the catfish had a lot bones and was not seasoned (but maybe you would like it plain to enjoy the basic freshness of it). Overall very hot and fresh; and comes out in a jiff!
