The food was just ok. I got raw oysters and they didn’t taste very fresh, I’ve had better since arriving to the area. My husband had the garlic butter mussels and he said they didn’t have much flavor. My son had the crab cake and he said it was good. I did have the vegetables that came with my sons crab cake and they were really good. Their captain Curt’s soda was good as well. Not sure in overall if it’s a place I’d return.

I don’t write reviews, but this has always been a pleasant place to come too. I’m a huge fan of clam chowder and order it a lot. This place is in my top 3 clam chowder I’ve ever had. The drinks are fantastic with their own ginger beer and liquors. The remodel looks great and thank you so much to our waitress kaltlin! She was kind and very knowledgeable of the menu and honest of the things she hasn’t tried or didn’t like as much. Every course was delicious! The fresh fish was great! Thanks again!

Food was great!! Tried Gator bites, crab legs, the captains (non fried) Sampler, Fried shrimp, and Mai Mai (type of fish may not have name correct.) Didn’t need much from the server so once we got our food she only got to check on us once maybe twice before we were done and out the door.. Enjoyable family experience. We all sampled each other’s choices for a rounded experience. Price I would say ranged about $20-30 per person. Got keepsake cups from our $6.99 margaritas special!! Great times!!

Best seafood food in the area. I tried the clam chowder and it really is the best one I’ve ever had. I also ordered the captain fried extravaganza which was fried perfectly. Server went above and beyond and always checked on us every 5 min even with restaurant being busy. Highly recommend.

I had the chowder which I enjoy but I thought the hot mango wigs tasted even better. If you like hot food definitely try these

This is a place you can bring friends laugh out loud and not worry. I sat outside it’s a fun vibe. Started with a cold drink strawberry and banana. They give refills for less money than the first one but my second one had little or no alcohol. The food was average. Coconut Shrimp and a fish platter.

The only thing I didn’t like was “Snow crab” dish was very small but expensive. There are different places where you can take combo menu. We enjoyed a lot of ceaser salad here.

The Captains platter was good, and green beans were a little under cooked. Fish n fries were excellent. Drinks were good
