I had my team Christmas party at Captain Roys on December 10th. The venue is decorated nicely for the holiday season, music was a perfect volume, bartender was sweet as pie, and the food was hot and delicious. Thank you Captain Roys for being so awesome! Check it out!

I have been here three times, most recently on September 5. It's such a fun place for a drink on a Friday afternoon. Awesome setting, great food, good outdoor vibes. We will definitely be back!!

It's a nice watering hole with a great view and access to the river.

I had high hopes for this place but was more than disappointed with the service I received. The bartender was extremely rude and when asked a drinking suggestion was told - I dont know. Tried ordering food but was told kitchen closed early that day. I was however completely impressed with the environment and other customers. I loved the vibe of the outdoor area & the fun crowd of bike riders. Everyone seemed to be having alot of fun. I gave a 1 out 5 stars for the poor service. 1 out 5 stars for kitchen closing early. 5 out of 5 stars for outdoor area & fun crowd of bike riders. I would go and try out Captain Roy's a second time due to the good vibes.

I've lived in Des Moines most of my life and I've driven by this little place more times than I can count, and never thought much of it. Apparently I've been missing out! My wife and I got invited to go see a live cover band and not only was the band immaculate, shout-out to Suade, but so were the vibes. Everyone was really nice and welcoming, the drinks were well poured and the food was delivered, even outside, with a smile and well wishes. We got some french fries and ranch to share and they were too good! It can be a little intimidating as a lesbian couple to enter new spaces but we were assured that we were welcomed with open arms and were encouraged to be ourselves. Will definitely be coming back here!

We visited Captain Roy's Saturday evening during an outdoor concert. The band(Suede) was great and this review is no reflection of their performance. We arrived about 20 minutes before music started. We ordered drinks and appetizers from the outdoor bar. We were given a table number so runners could find us. An hour went by, no food. When hours two came and went without the arrival of food, I canceled the order. The bartender tried to talk me out of canceling admitting avg food times were at 1.5 hours. I understand the place is packed and they were very busy, but 1.5 hours is unacceptable TAT, especially for apps. I've never waited that long for food anywhere. If we weren't there for the music I'd never have waited the 2 hours before saying something. If we ever go again, we'll be eating first.
