My only complaint was the cost of adding cheese to my hamburger. I didn't mind paying $19 for the burger and fries but an additional $2.25 for a super thin piece of Swiss cheese was ridiculous. Of course the up charge was not on the menu. I expect an additional $1 but not $2.25. Seriously the slice was so thin you could see through it.

There were hardly any people in the restaurant when my husband and I stopped for lunch. Anyway, we both ordered the fish sandwhich and fries.It took about 45 minutes to get our order. Took way too long.

This is a very casual restaurant. We enjoy eating on the porch to watch the river and boats. But the entrance is at the top of very steep

Mushrooms are awesome, pork tenderloin needs some help, like eating a potato chip!!!!
Great place on the water, makes you feel like you're on vacation. The service was wonderful and the views were beautiful.

The steak bites is the bomb! I love their chicken rice soup and the bangbang shrimp was a big serving with corn.

We go here quite often in the summer. We live near Chicago but spend many weekends in Ottawa for the river and friends. I actually dream about the Buffalo chicken dip at captains cove during the drive down. It’s often our first stop after we drop the dogs at the boat. It is the best BCD I’ve ever had. Sometimes it’s sold out by the time we get there, it’s THAT good! They have great deals on drinks and the rest of the menu is really yummy. The bartenders are awesome, we have ended up getting to know the family that owns the place and they’re all so kind and love being able to serve delicious food and beverages to their friends and customers. We truly love captains cove and look forward to many more years of great buff chicken dip and giggles!
