The Captain's Cap

We absolutely love this place! They have a fresh salad bar and we love their friend shrimp and the whole flounder! Very nice servers too!

Kind of what I expected. It's a little dated inside, but the service staff is extremely friendly. Food was pretty good, and the Calabash Shrimp was plentiful.

This use to be our go to Saturday restaurant. I eat seafood and my husband likes steak. We ordered the small tips with baked potato. Flounder and calabash with fries. The hushpuppies were terrible. Inconsistent sizes?? Some were raw. If I wanted Mc Donald fries I would have went there. No more steak fries? Very disappointed in the food for the price I had to pay.

This is the favorite seafood restaurant of a former neighbor when we lived in Cornelius across the lake. T%he3y moved to Trilogy about 3 years ago and we follow last July.The restaurant has been open for 30 years now and I vagally remember dining here on one or two occasions and with Covid for the past year and a half, Susan has ordered to-go for dinners for both us and occasionally for our former neighbor who loved this place so much.Over the past year, we have dined at Westlake Family Restaurant right access the the street and have commented on more than one occasion that we needed to go there for dinner.After a long day in the lab, I called Susan from the office and suggested that in the heat, we just go out and grab something where it was cool and we did not have to cook something and heat up the kitchen.I suggest one place and Susan countered with The Captain's Cap since I had said I wanted to come here on more than just a few occasions.Picked Susan up a few minutes after 6pm and were there by 6:15.Pulled into the parking lot and someone was leaving so scores a spot right in front of the entrance.Walked in and were promptly greeted by a gentleman who escorted us to our table. Promptly follows by our server who brought menu's, utensils and took our beverage order.Service was excellent during out entire dining experience.Decor reminded me of some of the Greek Restaurants we had been to in Tarpon Springs Florida with the Sponge Fleet. There is a mural of a Captain piloting a trawler and if you look close, one of the flags flown is the Green National Flag.Susan had hoped to be get the Salad Bar Buffet but with Covid, that was closed and I have no idea if they are ever going to bring it back. Too bad because I have vague memories of a political dinner here a long time ago and remember that the salad bar was very good.Susan ordered the Scallops and had a choice of grilled or fried. She opted for the Grilled but it also came with a Salad which turned out to be a very nice House Salad with Choice of Dressing and she asked for the Blue Cheese Dressing. Her comments about the Dressing is that this is like the Blue Cheese Dressing her Mother used to make. Nice and chunky with plenty of Blue Cheese. She also could have had Cole Slaw since in came with the dinner but she passed on it.I ordered the Large Oyster Platter with Onion Rings. Also came with a Salad, and I chose Italian , Hushpuppies and Cole Slaw as well. Normally pass on the Cole Slaw but they offered a Vinegar Dressing as opposed to the Mayonnaise and it was very good. Cabbage was still nice and crispy and not slimy with excess Mayo extracting moisture from the Cabbage.The Italian Dressing was excellent with a nice balance to it.For the entrée. the Oysters were nice and plum and very tasty. Had a choice of Cocktail Sauce or Tartar Sauce and I prefer the Cocktail Sauce. Disappointed in the Cocktail Sauce. Very thin and no bite to it.Onion Rings were nice and large but very oily and soggy and would not order again.Hushpuppies were great and they lived up to their name. Supposedly, in the 1800's hunters at their campsite would fry these little morsels up and throw them to their hunting dawgs to keep them quite and when they threw them, the added the admonition "Hushpuppy"We tried this on a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and guess what? It does work,

Great fish camp good food and good service. Love this place. Eating there tonight. Yum

Good food and good service. I have been eating at the Captain's Cap for over 5 years and I am never disappointed!

To those who wrote bad reviews they don't understand what a fish camp is and I bet they aren't from the South. This is more of a Calabash style fish house, but still reminds me of the old style fish camps. All the food is excellent here, well prepared from scratch and the staff is always friendly!

My wife and I ate there last night. Usually the food is pretty good. I had the any two combination. I ordered calabash shrimp and Jumbo shrimp. The Jumbo were more like medium shrimp and the calabash wasn't much more the crumbs. And although I got both salt and pepper. They really wasn't good at all. As I said before we have been there multiple times and some times there really good. And some times not so good. But never as bad as last night. When we got there they weren't busy at all. Only two cars in the parking lot. That should have told me something. I won't be in a hurry to go back.

Never a wait and often wonder if they are open.Overall service was good and prompt just the overall food is sort of blandLike it because it's close to home

Service was great, food was delicious I had mahi-mahi and it was grilled to perfection. Great value. We will definitely go again
