Getting straight to the point. Big inside, the workers are extremely nice. The music playlist is the same every time we come and not a fan of the covers but i still cleared my plate. Been here many times and it never disappoints. Also the cajun fries are fire on the side. Alcoholic caprisuns are dangerously good and it's a must to have one every time. 10/10

I loved this place!! When you walked in it didn't have the over powering seafood smell in the building. The food tasted great! My son is allergic to seafood so they didn't bother me when he brought his happy meal with him. I will be back.

Best 3 lbs of seafood! I love the seasoning. I'm not sure what the kitchen uses but the sauce is addicting. We got "Medium" spice and it wasn't too spicy (definitely could've gotten "hot"). The food isn't too heavy (in my opinion). The shrimp piece are thick and not over cooked (same with the mussels). I loved that there are options to add veggies besides potatoes and corn. The oysters were super fresh and a nice way to cut through the buttery seafood broil. Lastly, the funnel fries were a hit! As a dessert, it wasn't too sweet and the ice cream that came with the dessert was super yummy. I would definitely recommend coming by here to get your fill for seafood.

We played roulette on Yelp to find a dinner and Cap't Loui came up the winner. We love a good seafood boil, so why not! It was a Saturday night, so we did the Waitlist option on Yelp, but when we arrived we didn't need it as there is a ton of parking and seating in this venue. Located on the west side of Village Square at Sahara and Ft. Apache, they've got a really nice set up. They had two girls setting up holiday decorations while we were there, and a handful of additional employees in the restaurant. Our waiter was very nice. He explained the spice levels and how everything worked and we ordered. I will say, their version of "market price" is much higher than any seafood place we've been in in 2024. $47/lb for crab? $20/lb for shrimp? The grocery store across the street had crab advertised at $9.99/lb and shrimp for $5.99/lb this week, but billing in the cost of everything else to run the business might be what's happening here. Idk, but we definitely spent more than what we spent at the last boil spot we visited for 2 lbs instead of the 3lbs we got. They do give you a lot of options for sides and we opted for noodles. You get potatoes and corn in your boil bag, every bag comes with them. There are two sauces - Cap't Louis and lemon pepper. Our waiter explained Capt Louis as a 2 on the spicy scale and as I can't have spice at all, we opted for lemon pepper. The food was not bad. The garlic noodles we definitely garlic-y. No vampires were coming after us with those bad boys. The lemon pepper gave a different taste to the seafood than we were used to, which was unique for sure. I would dock another star for the music, as it was way too loud, but our waiter was so cool, he earned it back. If you're able to convince the teenagers working to turn the music down enough so you can have conversations over your meal, do let me know what you asked, cause it didn't work for us. The playlist was interesting tho, like the Kidz Bop version of the top 20 for adults. Overall, it was an experience, but if we go back it'll have to be a special occasion experience. No discounts for Veterans, or first responders, either, according to the female who brought us the bill.

Came in for dinner on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly. Menu is like any other seafood boil place. Food came out hot and fresh and the garlic noodles are a must get! I would skip the french fries. I really liked the house sauce and medium spice was perfect for me. The medium spice I would say was a 6-7/10 on a spice scale. Overall, service was great, food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back!

I had no idea what would replace Jollibee and I thought anything that did would have been a disappointment but Capt Loui was a fine addition to Summerlin. Regardless of all the other Seafood Boil in Summerlin or in the area, I like Capt Loui the most. Even though to me, seafood boils are meant to be shared and ate family style, but when it's this good (even if I order 2 lbs), go get your own. My favorite moment is when the server arrives with my bag and opens it up in front of me so I can smell the steam. The butter garlic noodles is a must get for me, even though I like to eat rice more.
