Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to 
What: A seafood and oyster bar that looks like a permanently dry-docked tugboat. One thing Captain Tom's has loads of is character. It also has boatloads of customers 
so come early and be prepared to wait for a chair to come open. Yep, chair -- no tables at Captain Tom's. Continuing with the boat theme even in the restaurant's interior, you'll note that all the customers at the bar and sitting on the chairs that tuck under the counter that wraps around the wall, are sitting at a slant. Occasionally slipping off their chairs. That's cuz, well you know a proper ocean-going vessel of that size has a slanted deck, so Captain Tom's does too. It's all part of the ambiance. Other aspects of the ambiance are noise and controlled chaos. It might take the uninitiated a while to get the hang of the place, but it's worth it.
The seafood is incredibly fresh. Oysters on the halfshell, boiled shrimp, and a more-or-less standard variety of fried fare, which includes catfish filets,fried shrimp and oysters, stuffed crab, stuffed jalapenos, and frogs legs. Some of the best gumbo I've ever had. Cold beer and michilatas. If you like flounder, look for the sign when you walk in (it's not on the menu). They'll hang a "flounder" sign out when they have a fresh supply.
