The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the fish and chips were the best I've ever had.

Visited in early March while passing through Port Canaveral. Decided to try the upstairs terrace, and received a warm welcome from other local customers, and the staff. Good selection of beers including local beers which were good to try. Service was very welcoming, good, and efficient. Tried the crab cakes which my spouse said were amazing, and the burger which was really good. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

New owners! Remodeling the downstairs to be open again soon for the first time in years. Roof bar is always fun, can get busy. Look for this place to return to awesome status again soon.

It was 15 minutes before a server came to our table. Waitress was so rude and we never got our food. Service was awful. Finally we paid for our trips and left. Will not be going back!!!!

Such a fun spot! Service was excellent. Steak & Shrimp dinner was great. Clam Chowder very tasty. Ate, drank & watched as a parade of cruise ships head out to sea.

We were greeted nicely. Ordered coconut shrimp appetizer and gator tail bites. Had better. The portions are very small. My mango drink tasted like frozen juice. One of the young servers brought the wrong food to our table and bumped a full glass of water on my leg. They only apologized and gave me a rag. My jeans remained soaked so we ended up asking for the check and leaving. Views are amazing.

Loved Captain J’s! It has a beautiful elevated deck overlooking the ocean, with great food - SHRIMP! - reasonable prices, attentive service, and classic Florida vibe. Can’t wait to go back.Parking: Parking can be tight. Patience, you’ll find a spot.

The food was good. Service was great. The view from the upstairs deck was wonderful! The deck needs TLC, but we heard there is a new owner who is doing updates.

We arrived at the hostess stand and waited about 15 minutes until a waitress came by and said: “if the hostess isn’t going to come I guess I will seat you, we have plenty of seats.” Then we sat and were greeted fairly quickly and ordered 2 beers for my wife and I, a water for my son, and an order of tater bites and 2 orders of raw oysters. 30 minutes later we ordered 2 more beers as we expected our food soon. 20 minutes later, the waitress notified us that her “manager just informed us that we were out of oysters” and asked if we wanted anything else. We declined as the only reason we were there was for the raw oysters. I understand restaurants run out of things but 50 minutes after we ordered is an inconvenient time to find out. She brought the gator bites and told us the manager would be out to talk to us. (Which we didn’t ask for but thought was a step in the right direction) unfortunately the manager never came and the waitress told us that for our trouble she had removed the oysters (that we never received!). We paid our $56 bill for our 4 beers and gator bites for our son and left.We have been coming to this place for 35 years and it has slowly gone downhill to the point that I think they have lost my patronage. Such a great location but poor management has pushed most people next door to the Mexican restaurant.

Service is beyond awful for sub par food. We were compt chips and queso and that never came either. Lots of other options in the area pick something else.

The outside seating was probably the highlight of this place. However right below you could see what appeared to be just a large area of dumped trash. There was also another restaurant/bar right next door, and at first we couldn’t tell if it was the same establishment or not. That place was packed!!! People were just seating themselves even though there was signage posted to “wait to be seated”. A couple people left because a group had seated themselves after they’d been there waiting before them. The service was not anything phenomenal, our waitress came maybe 3x while we were there, and forgot to bring a beverage back but remembered as we were paying for our food. They seemed steady but I wouldn’t have called it “busy”. The food was subpar. The gator tail bites were rather chewy, and overcooked. Probably not a place wed venture back to. Hopefully they can get more staff and a little better quality food.

My modest family and I embarked on a quest for a grill, and this was our sole, not so crowded discovery. Regrettably, the culinary experience fell short of expectations; opting for fish and chips, we found the fish excessively breaded and the fries merely passable.However, the service offered a pleasant touch.On a brighter note, the ambiance proved delightful, with vistas of the sea, beach, and even glimpses of the Cape Canaveral space station. Convenient parking adjacent to the restaurant enhanced the overall experience.
