Buck a shuck LOCAL oysters everyday until 4pm! My husband said they were so clean and light tasting. I had the fisherman's platter which was delicious. Key lime pie tasted like I was back in the key West with how tart and creamy it was. The only thing I disliked was the clam chowder. But I would definitely return. read more

My wife and I live in Lincoln but we take the trip to East Matunick for the great seafood. My go to is the lemoncello shrimp over spaghetti and she gets the best clam cakes and chowder I have had anywhere. The desserts are giant made in house. The biggest eclairs you've ever seen and cheese cakes and other delicious choices. The view of the salt marsh and the egrets feeding and the lobster boats in the back ground out on the deck makes for an awesome ambiance with the ocean breeze. read more

Our first stop on our roadtrip to Rhode Island for a Costal Weekend. This is a local watering hole, where you can slow down and have a drink while enjoying the sea breeze. A great place to relax after being in the car a few hours. But it gets busy after 7:00 pm and the parking lot was full. The fried haddock tasted fresh with a light breading. The focus was on the fish. I prefer a crispier beer battered breading. The clam chowder left me disappointed, I prefer a prefer a thicker chowder with more savory flavors. This felt like more of a soup. This was my first time ordering clam cakes. They were very similar to hush puppies. The service was an average experience. Overall felt ok, not super impressed but not bad either. read more

Cap'n Jack's Restaurant - Baked fish and fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

With everything going on in this world and with the hustle and bustle of a busy Saturday night.. This place gets it, waiter Wyatt was easy to accommodate us a large party with four kids. He can also do 85 push ups! Food was great; but the human aspect of the visit is what made it. Ice cream window was closed the people at the front stopped what they were doing and got ice cream for all the kids! It's people and actions like this that make the world better! Thanks again read more

Amazing food and service. Oysters were great and only $1 a shuck (before 4:00). Hard to find that nowadays. Steamers and lobster rolls were on point as well. Love this place! read more

Cap'n Jack's Restaurant - Lobster roll and Cole slaw. - Seafood Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

Jack understood the assignment. Great work everyone involved. Waiter was fantastic. Some waiters do too much but ours did just enough. Apparently his name was Jack too. Really good day to be named Jack. Got the drunken little necks. Best thing to happen since my first time. Followed up with chowder and some quahaugs. The chowder was simple yet effective. Quahaugs also reminded me of simpler times. Whatever that means -they did very well. All the staff looked like they were having fun while they played - exactly what my dad told me to do before every game. 10/10 experience. Would recommend to my mother and grandmother. read more

We had an amazing family dinner! Don't let the old appearance fool you! mahi sandwich was great and the scallop specials, and save room for their great desserts read more

We ate out on the patio and we were here for about an hour. The entire time, no one bothered to clean off the surrounding tables. Our entire meal was spent looking at other people's dirty dishes. I shudder to think of what the kitchen looks like. Service was terrible. Food was meh. Coleslaw was gross. Don't bother. Get a pizza and go watch the sun set at the beach instead. read more

I love Capn' Jacks in RI. The vibe is friendly, friendly , friendly. If you do not know any one there and you sit at the salt marsh oyster bar, you will know EVERYONE by the time you leave. If you go on a Saturday and Sunday DAYTIME ..Steve in the oyster bar is top notch. This man lives and breaths customer service. He has a unique way of remembering repeat customers , even if you are there just on vacation, he will remember your name! He moves 1K miles per hours as he is the only bartender on staff during the day for both Bar and restaurant. The food is good , very good 11AM -4PM $1.00 oysters! Fresh from RI. The rest of the wait staff most have been there for years and the younger wait staff have a smile and welcoming attitude. They are really good young people that seem to realize they need to keep up with lead Bartender Steve's energy! If you go during the day there is a sweet older gentleman "John" behind the bar. Everyone seems to love him. BUT, you got to speak up, he may not catch what you said the first time around. But he is a gem. The food , I get either the fish and chips, $1 oysters, The haddock sandwich, and or if they have a Portuguese fish stew I am on it. In short never a bad meal, always fun, always great service..Oh I must say one time I got the baked stuffed lobster, it did come out dry and over cooked but they took it back and did it over. 2nd time was a charm. In Short Great service, nice customers, good vibe , very good food. Try their take out and ice cream in the middle of the oyster bar and restaurant. read more

Amazing food with friendly staff that's helpful with any menu questions. Outdoor seating was clean and spacious. There is plenty of parking and still close enough to the beach. Recommend the fried fisherman's Platter. Plenty of free parking. read more

*Cap'n Jack has two locations next to each other* This place - The Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar - was so underrated. Went there last minute based off their decent google reviews and couldn't be happier. Sat outside with a beautiful view, staff was attentive and friendly, beer was great, and food was delicious! We'd go back when we're in town again. Highly recommend:) read more

Cap'n Jack's Restaurant - Lobster Salad Roll and Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

Came here at 11 am on a Saturday right at opening. Staff were ready to welcome us in. We opted to sit outdoors which was a patio overlooking a salt marsh. The server was friendly and made sure that we were doing well, she even came to talk to us about the bunnies and the birds that hang out in the area. Got the chowder and clam cakes. Chowder definitely had a lot of seafood and potatoes in it. Clam cakes are like big pieces of fried bread with clam in it. I've never had it before and was pleasantly surprised by the crispy exterior and soft chewy interior. It was a little too heavy for me so I only finished one cake. Overall, I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. read more

Family Favorite!! We always feel comfortable & laid back here. Love the nautical decor & the staff feels like family. Had the best lobster BLT for Valentine's Day. My husband is a lobsterman so I'm picky. Tons of meat and fresh. Great French fries too. Hubs loves the linguine and clams and prime rib when it's offered. Recently stopped in for the best Irish Soda Bread! (Should have bought 2!) and huge Zeppoli! Never skip dessert here. If we're too full, which happens a lot, we always pick something to go. Looking at the dessert choices in the case is a favorite family pastime while waiting for our meals. Looking forward to Easter, as we've spent the last 3 there. The ham is amazing! The owners work so hard. Happy to support them year round!! read more

Fresh perfectly cooked seafood, delicious cocktails and wonderful attentive friendly servers! Nancy, our server, was the best! She helped with our menu selection and was great. The Seafood Cioppino was tasty and had generous portions of shrimp, mussels, clams and scallops in a light tomato broth over pasta. The fish and chips special was so good, as was the plump clam cakes and the chowder was great. The view of the salt marsh at sunset was so pretty. We absolutely can't wait to visit soon! read more

So for a seafood place this place is worst seafood I've ever had. They didn't season any of the seafood. Fried fisherman's platter 2 shrimp fried thats it no seasoning. 2 pieces of fish no seasoning, fried soggy some parts not even fully fried, scallop were bad fried and the scallop themselves were bad tasted like a penny fried(so food handling and inspection was not in their daily habits), 2 clam strips no seasoning. Calamari was like rubber bands fried, didn't taste like anything, even with the peppers... how do you have flavorless peppers? New England Clam chowder was quarter sized potato's 1 or 2 small pieces of clams and white water. I don't know how you make chowder that watery but I'm sure water was thicker than that chowder. Clam cakes had 2 pieces of clams and all dough fried. They didn't even season the dough! Who the hell is the chef there?! In total we spent 150 dollars for fried flavorless crap. I wouldn't have fed homeless people this food. My wife and her family used to go there when they were younger and said it was good... if this is Rhode Islands version of good you guys are better off eating at McDonald's or the trash. Do not sped a dimension on these people's food. You been warned. read more

Well....your better off going to Taco Bell....the food is absolutely horrible. Bland bland bland. Our waiter though was fantastic.

Had a wonderful experience for dinner here. The food was great, especially the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl and the Fish & Chips, but the desserts were OUT OF THIS WORLD! They're made from scratch in house and are absolutely delicious! Don't skip on the cheesecake or the key lime pie! yuuuummm read more

Came in on a whim for a Sunday brunch. The view is fantastic, we watched a couple dig for clams wile we had drinks and some clam cakes. I had a Cap'n Jack's Bloody Mary and the DH had a Whaler's. I wish I could say the Bloody Mary was good, but it was just "meh", a little too watered down for my taste. The Clam Cakes we're good, fresh and hot! I ordered a bowl of clam chowder, again, it seemed a bit watered down and the potatoes were a tad undercooked. DH ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, he enjoyed it very much! Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we'll probably be back. I'll update if we do! read more

We have gone there for years. The bar and restaurant service have always been great even during times of limited staff. We are local and have always appreciated the work they do despite some limitations at times always felt welcomed.! Food was always great!! read more

Service was totally fine, and it's the only reason this isn't a one star. Clam cakes were fried dough and nothing else. Swordfish tacos were extremely bland, and all you could taste was the burnt tortilla. The ravioli was horrendous, and the scallops were burnt and nothing to write home about. Fries were unseasoned and, man, nothing tasted good. I cannot believe we spent over 100$ for this. It's no wonder why the place was empty. Happy Father's Day. read more

Our table of 5 received 3 different menus, none of which reflected the actual prices on the bill. When we were done eating we were rushed out and the old hag who sits in the parking lot told us we needed to leave immediately, despite the fact that we were all intoxicated from the drinks they served us. She insisted we leave and literally screamed at us. Never coming back here again. read more

This last visit was really nice. We were seated in the sun room overlooking the salt marsh area and it was sunny and warm. We decided to try the seafood platter sampler which had all types of great fried seafood: Fish, clam bellies, shrimp, scallops. As well as french fries, cole slaw and tartar sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside. The food was not greasy at all. It was a nice platter to share between two people. The waitress was friendly and very nice. It's a great dining spot in East Matunuck. read more

My friend and I ate dinner here tonight's ago and we're very happy... There was a beautiful outdoor seating overlooking a marsh. It was gorgeous! We both had the white clam chowder which is very disappointing, it was watery. I am used to clam chowder in the Boston area which is thick and creamy. The Bluemoon Belgian White beer that we had was delicious. Our dinner of grilled salmon and asparagus was fabulous... It came with rice which was nothing to write home about. The desserts are huge, you better share it if you order one. We got the key lime coconut cake and found it disappointing, but the frosting tasted good. I would go to this restaurant again! read more

Quick take out for dinner! Ready in less than 20 min. Filet haddock entree is massive, and could easily feed 2. New England Clam chowder was very salty and the clams were very chewy. For dessert, we had a slice of the coconut key lime pie raspberry cake with was excellent!! The apple turnover was also very large and quite good. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and it seemed like a local hangout with sports playing on the tvs. There was a mix of high tables and low ones. The service was prompt and the place was not crowded. I ordered the fish n chips special and it was a great deal for fresh tasty fish, fries, clam chowder, 3 clam fritters even though they said clam cakes and cole slaw all for $15. it was too much to eat for one person but really delicious overall. the place looks a bit like a "dive" although my husband thought it was fine. Both of us enjoyed our meals and the games on as well. If you need okay food with no wait this is the place. read more

Angry people and disappointing food. They'll probably make more money putting "barnacles" on cars parking in their lot than at the restaurant. The food is hot garbage. The staff are enough to make you loose faith in humanity. read more

Reasonably priced despite being near the water. Food isn't bad but I've also had better.

First time at Capn Jacks. We went for the Fish & Chips and it did not disappoint. This is one of the best deals around. Cup of Chowda, 3 clam cakes, a large piece of haddock and fries Very fresh fish and cooked to perfection All for $19. See you again soon read more

We have been coming here for 40+ years. Hearty seafood in great portions and a lovely view plus attentive service make this a regular choice for us year round. Fun drinks and appetizers are a great start. Try the lobster bisque, fish and chips plus save room for delicious desserts big enough for sharing. Captain Jack's never disappoints. read more

We ordered the chicken bacon ranch pizza which was on the menu at $12. Our bill had a steak pizza for $17.50. When we asked the server about this she just made it seem like "oh that happens". She didn't really explain why or offer to get the bill corrected. The pizza itself wasn't great. It was more like half bacon and half chicken. We had to move the toppings around. read more

Yes, we thought we saw the Captain sail on by, but she was moving so fast we really couldn't be sure. The food, service, drinks, and staff were a delightful addition to the sea-salty-sloop of an atmosphere we almost lost ourselves in the throughs of ec·sta·sy. But we came around when the drinks and oysters arrived dockside. Yummy-Yum-Yum. And local too. read more
