We had the crab legs, prime rib, oysters on the halfshell, and so many drinks we called a cab. That's right we called a cab. This was 44 years ago.

Don't judge this place from the outside. If you Like Steaks or Crabs, or anything else they have on their menu, you come to the right place!!! This place is fantastic. Food is amazing. Huge portions! smaller menu at the bar, but the MP ($25) prime rib quesadilla has full steak in it! Price may seem high, but for the quality and the portions, it is well worth it. Make reservations, because they get really busy. they have a bar area first come first serve with limited menu and music on week ends. Drinks are ok.

My boyfriend and I love this place. It’s so classic. Prime rib sandwich on garlic bread, no lettuce, side of avo. (Recommended by our first waiter) It’s HEAVENLY and it’s all we get now. The sandwich is ginormous so we usually split it for dinner. Sitting anywhere in the bar area is always fun.

This place is fantastic. The service is impeccable. The food is outstanding. No wonder this place has been around for so long. Well worth the money and time .

Not so good this time . They sat us in the room that had no windows. Our food was just so so this time. We must have been served leftover bread from the night before it was not very fresh. Service was slow but good Billy was are server and he is always so friendly. Because it's so expensive we only go once a year for our anniversary or a birthday I mean $150 bucks for crab legs is rediculas. They have the best dinner salad.

Always fantastic! Market price is nuts right now... supply and demand.
Very Old school vibe : dark paneling, huge leather chairs, a menu that does not cater to trendy food, but sticks with the tried and true classics. Looking for a special place to celebrate a family's birthday, new job and successful project launch, all in one night. This spot was a unanimous pick. Warm sourdough and rye slices of bread are served still warm with delicious pats of butter. I got a New York steak, grilled medium rare - it had some slight chewiness and some gristle, but overall was fine. Prime rib is a THICK CUT. Initially had planned to share with someone but got greedy. Comes with side of rice or sliced tomatoes (I find that odd) , plus mixed green salad with house-made dressing. Everyone got a surf & turf combo - one got lobster tail , one with crab legs. Seafood combo is stacked with crab legs, scallop and shrimp. Our entire party of 4 went with Bleu cheese dressing for the salads- they do not skimp on the cheese here! We opted for a dozen Blue Point RAW oysters. Also good but I wish they had kept the brine in the shell. Served with cocktail dressing, horseradish and wedge of lemon. This spot is iconic, with nautical decor interiors plus a lot of aquariums. Street parking is limited, but they have a private lot right across the street.(it was no charge & self park for us, no valet). We got the baby butter noodles (No kids' menu here). The other option was a grilled cheese sandwich. Cocktails seemed very old school as well, I got a Lemon Drop and that was delicious! I could have had three of them , lol.

If you want an unforgettable dining adventure on Coast Highway (Sunset Beach/Huntington Beach border), Captain Jack’s is the place! ⚓️🐚🍷
The food was out of this world — the 🥩 filet mignon was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the 🦞 lobster was fresh, buttery, and full of flavor. The portions are huge and the taste is unbeatable! I admit I overate because it was that good — especially the warm homemade bread 🍞.
The atmosphere is pure magic ✨ — I had dinner on the patio at sunset 🌅 and it was breathtaking. Inside, the whole restaurant feels like you stepped onto a ship 🚢 — with wooden walls, hidden exits, and a cool vibe that makes it feel like a secret passageway.
The service? Absolutely royal 👑💫. Not just one server, but a whole team making sure you’re treated like a king or queen. At one point I had five different people checking in — it’s next-level hospitality.
And just when I thought I couldn’t eat another bite, out came the dessert platter 🍨🍫🍓 — set right in front of you on a big tray with tempting choices. I couldn’t resist the chocolate & raspberry sorbet truffle, drizzled with rich raspberry sauce… oh my goodness, it was divine. A perfect ending to the feast!
I went for my 🎉 birthday dinner, and it couldn’t have been more special. Yes, it’s on the pricier side ($100+ per person 💵), but the experience is worth every penny. Between the flavors, the sunset, the ship-like atmosphere, the dessert indulgence, and the VIP treatment, this isn’t just dinner — it’s an experience you’ll never forget. 🌊🌟
✅ Highly recommend! Everyone should experience Captain Jack’s at least once in their lifetime.

First time here with my wife and brothers. We made reservations for 6:00 and were sat down by promptly. Parking is rare to fine, so we did valet for $10.00. We ordered drinks, cosmos and vodka and cranberry. Drinks were okay, very little alcohol even though we asked for Grey Goose. Fresh bread and butter was brought to table. My brother in law ordered the crab, he said it was good, however, my wife said it was rubbery. She ordered the sea bass, tased like Cod, no flavor and rice was hard with no flavor. Myself and other brother ordered Filet Migon. It wasn’t very good, had to send mine back due to being to rare, I ordered Medium. Very disappointed in food, our waiter was very nice. For spending $ 500.00, don’t waste your time. We won’t be coming back.
