Reviews

I love Cap'n Cat to my core. They get the seasoning on the snow crab legs just right without being weird or saucy. The soups are great, and the drinks are cheap. What more could you want?

Dave Weinman

I hadn’t been to this location in years, and I forgot how good they are! Great service, the bartender is the Best! The oysters Rockefeller is my favorite! The fried shrimp platter is also delicious !

Roy Dawson

Had the most wonderful server and food was amazing. Was visiting family in town from Florida, and the seafood was fantastic!

Lisa Smith

The food amount was quite skimpy. Uncle had oyster soup, which is why we came here. Very good and a huge portion. I had scallops, broiled. It was very good, not excellent, though. They were nice size and had to cut in half to eat, but not many for the price. Hubby had sword fish. It was very small for the price and serving size, but tasted good.

Donna Coco

I absolutely love this place! I come here often for the best clam chowder in the world! Also their lump crab is awesome! A hidden gem! Don’t forget to try the oysters and the blue crabs as well!!!

Where else can you sit at the bar and have clams, chowder, and shrimp, with perfect bar service??? Place is great

John Burke

I have to say... Their seafood is so awesome. The service told me that their seafood are shipped from bay every single day. I very recommend their big neck clam.... You can taste the most fresh, native flavor from it.
