4 Best Seafood Restaurants near Mountain City

“My wife and I drive over to Capt. Jim’s from N.C. Once a month for the Seafood and to say hi to Donald Trump and ask if he has inflation under control yet. We were happy to see scallops on the menu as a special… $24.00 for scallops, a handful of fries and a side salad. It seemed like a fair price and with Trumps recommendation, I expected a “ Big Beautiful Plate “ of scallops! The breading on the scallops was perfect. The salad was delicious..croutons were to die for, and fries were crispy not oily. My only issue was there were only 5 scallops on my plate. My wife and I did the math and that comes to $4.80 per scallop! Lesson learned that may be cheap for Donald Trump but for a normal retiree on a fixed income that is still high. I debated about writing this review because I know if I ever order the scallop special again I will probably get 3 scallops vs 5 scallops but if you are wanting to grow your business listen to your customers because even the customers whose comments you view as “ Crabby “ want to see you succeed. One other point I want to make because I found this out the hard way..the restaurant web site says it is Closed on Sunday…on occasion if the cook/owner decides she will open Sunday from 12p-4 pm. So check Facebook not what is on the web page. I overheard our waitress/ owners daughter telling a customer that they would be open more on Sunday if they had more customers come in. Guessing she did not know the website said they were closed Sunday..well her mother the cook overheard our conversation and quickly set the record straight. Ok I am signing off before my next big beautiful bill is full of “ Up Charges .“

“Rode with a group 100 miles to eat at this place....and it was worth the trip. Clean restaurant (and bathrooms) very friendly staff, and the food was perfect. Everyone left full and happy. If you're in the area, definitely check this little place out!“

“We drove 40 mins to eat here. Totally worth the drive!!! Service and food was fantastic!“

“We found those place by pure luck!
