This review applies specifically to the fish and chips. I’ve definitely had crispier, larger, and more flavorful fish and chips before. It’s decent, that’s all.

I'd definitely go back for a second round of Captain Kidd's! Clam chowder was amazing & so was the calamari! Yum.

This place has the the freshest seafood. It literally taste like they just got it out of the ocean. The prices are decent. It is close to the beach

Captain Kidd's has been on my list to try for a while, and I finally made it. The atmosphere is decent, with a nice view of the water, but the whole experience starts on a sour note with the paid parking. It's a bit of a shock to pay just to park at a restaurant.
As for the food, it was okay, but nothing to write home about. The mussel cup I had was fine—the mussels themselves were cooked properly, but the overall flavor was a bit underwhelming. The calamari appetizer was in a similar boat; it was cooked well, but it wasn't the best I've had. The same went for the clam chowder soup—it was edible, but lacked the rich, creamy flavor I was hoping for.
Overall, it's a perfectly acceptable place to grab a bite if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it, especially with the hassle and cost of parking.

We come here specifically for their live Dungeoness Crab. You choose the crab and they cook it for you on the spot. It doesn't get more fresh than that.
They have lots of other seafood, as well. Their class and clam chowder are very good.
This isn't your fancy dress type of place. You seat yourself, line your table with butcher paper and chow down. The staff is very nice. Last week I called the day before and asked if they could hold three crabs for me. Since I'm driving over 80 miles to get there, they wanted to make sure they had them set aside for me. They even cooked them so that they would be ready right at the time I told them we'd be there. If you like fresh crab, I highly recommend this place.

An amazing place if you're a fan of fresh fish. The ambiance is not stylish, so you may not pick this location for a first date, but authentic with great 70s music. The service was great (it's an over-the-counter place), very helpful (I had questions), and very friendly. Their fish was amazing - just as you would expect from a place like this. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who is in this area - or has a craving for fresh fish and wants to hang out in a place where you can smell the ocean.

I made a 30+ detour just to dine here (mandatory with me to achieve 5 stars) and would happily do again.

My family and I always love a good seafood restaurant and fish market combo! This is one of our new favorites! Ordered a seared Ahi fish sandwich, Alaskan Halibut plate and Lobster tail dinner! Amazing experience! The cashier was very knowledgeable about the fish dishes and their preparation, all the food was delicious and very well prepared my seared Ahi was perfect!

I am a long term resident of RB and have gone to this restaurant for years . Tonight was the worse experience that I ever had at this place . I ordered at 7pm to go and even tipped. I noticed that at least 5 other people were receiving their food . At 730 I asked the counter person what was happening . I was told that my fried fish was pending . I had ordered char grilled . I explained this and was told that they would fix the order and provide this wrongly prepared fish for free. Another 1/2 hr, still waiting with my young daughter with me and the rest of my family waiting in the car . A Young Latinx woman at the front was the only one who helped me and finally got me to the manager when there had been a problem receiving the second fish. I didn’t receive it- I did get a refund from the manager . When I arrived home, what did I get- not the chargrilled that just came out - but the deep fried fish that had been sitting for 1/2hr!!! I am extremely upset and disappointed at the service and disdain for my customer experience . The other items , the clam chowder, the sides were good- but the fish and the mussels were subpar.
I am small business owner and I understand that there can be off days- people can make mistakes . My problem and the reason that I am writing this rare review was the disrespect and disdain for my position and for my family . They just did not care .

Unfortunately, the food gave my daughter and granddaughter food poisoning. I have tried to call and let management know no one answered after 15+ calls only providing an email address. The cost was about $60.00. Which lead to an emergency vist for my daughter and granddaughter. Now the bill turned into a bill over $200.00. I hope that management looks at reviews maybe they will respond since the phone calls are not being answered.
