I wish I could leave 0 stars. I was visiting Ireland last week and walked in to attempt to eat. Not only was did no one address me when I walked in, the hostess/server looked bothered when I called out for her help. She had the nastiest disposition and told me to sit wherever. I sat at the first booth. No one came to greet me. 3 white women came and sat down after me at the both in front of mine. Of course, they were instantly greeted by the server and orders were taken. My blood was boiling. I tried to sit at the table long enough because I wanted to read those employees and manager for filth but after 25 minutes of patiently waiting and not a soul acknowledging I was there, I left. This is the trashiest, most racist restaurant I have went to and that's saying a lot from a black woman from the US. read more

I returned to the restaurant previous evaluated as 5 starts. Very sorry to edit my review. We were sat in a dirty table, and people that arrived later were served first than us. Food arrived cold. I was explained/educated by the chef that it was my fault as I ordered starters (onion rings and fries) which justifies the delay in their view. Make yourself a favor and avoid at all costs. read more

Best place in dublin..... Great student deals Mon-Wed. Best food around, espcially the lunch menu, and also the students 2 for 1 card they receive. Great beers on tap, a great selection of bottled beers and ciders. Some delish cocktails. I always go here... havent been to the Captains Live but will be soon. read more

Captain Americas - The boots - New American Near Me - Blanchardstown, D

bad burgers The venue is ok, close to the Dunnes Store where there is a huge free car park. Decoration is US style with lots of star pictures. Waitress was friendly but quite slow I was very disappointed by my burger. The fries were overcooked and the meat was dry and tasteless. Such a burger I could have done for less on my own at home ;-) Adding to this, the noise level is quite high in the evening and you might have kids running around. read more

Captain Americas - cheese bacon chicken delux - New American Near Me - Blanchardstown, D

Much more modern than the city centre counterpart. Very lively place with a cool bar. Service is always excellent here and there are endless deals and vouchers for meals. Very good choice of drinks on the menu too. The only issue is the food is not fantastic. It depends what you get maybe.. I had lasagne with baked potato- just about average. Burgers probably a safer bet. Meringue sundae for dessert is just fantastic though. Love the chewy bits! Good place for a lively night with a group, but maybe not if you on a date or really into your food.. read more

What do you want with your chips is the motto here. On Wednesday last I ordered something that wasn't with chips which was kind of difficult. I had the chicken wings with barbeque sauce which were ok and there was plenty in the portion to share with my daughter who left with a big red mouth! They had a special deal of two courses for €15 and while I didn't order anything from that others at my table did and they left stuffed! stuffed full of chips that is and huge burgers if you like that kind of thing. I also had a baked potato with my dish which was very nice and fluffy and it was nice to have a healthier option on the menu that wasn't a salad. I would prefer though if the baked potato was larger and could come as a main course rather than just a side dish as it was hard to order a main meal that wasn't the usually burger fare. read more

Captain Americas is a cookhouse & bar and they do what they do very well. It's the only cookhouse style restaurant in Dublin that I go back to again & again. They do offers if you're with O2 and have priority moments. They also have offers for students. Generally these offers are something like buy a main meal & get one free etc. I normally get their chicken fajitas which come out on a sizzling plate and are served with your choice of chips, baked potato or salad. It also comes with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. I normally get them with fries as their fries are really good. On my most recent trip I decided to try their lunch menu. You get to choose from 5 or 6 main options and again you get to choose baked potato, fries or salad to go with it & you also get your choice of a soft drink, bottle of beer or a glass of wine all for €10! That's excellent value. I went for a cheeseburger with fries and a diet coke. I also got a half portion of chicken wings for an extra €3 so in total it cost me €13 which you couldn't argue with. As usual the food was piping hot, the wings were very tasty (you can pick your choice of sauce). I went for hot sauce on mine and would've liked a bit more sauce with them but that was just a minor fault. My burger was very tasty but I felt it could do with some pickles on it. Pickles I know are divisive - you either love them or hate them. I'm in the 'love them' camp and in my opinion a burger isn't right without them! Again that's just down to preference and minor. Captains does be mental on weekends with families and kids. It's a firm favourite for birthday parties and it's easy to understand why. Nearly every time I go here 'Happy Birthday' is heard at a nearby table. I try to avoid it at weekends because it gets so busy. You get better specials during the week anyway. Their staff are always friendly even though they seem to be a bit stretched- I always get the impression that the place is a bit understaffed and they're under pressure. All credit to them for still remaining courteous & maintaining a good level of service. I'd definitely recommend captains. Good burgers, great chips, fabulous fajitas, impressive special offers and their chilli is probably the second best in Dublin after my own homemade chilli! read more

Gone here a few times for team lunches with work. Have also been a couple of times for cocktails after work :) They do a lunch special which is €9.95 for a burger and a drink. I always go for the Cajun chicken burger and that usually comes with fries or a salad. Today I substituted for sweet potato fries - these were v well cooked! Huge portions, decent service and the cocktails are always good. There is a TGIs not too far away but you should try here if you're looking for a slight change...! read more

Captain Americas - Cajun chicken burger & sweet potato fries... Nom! - New American Near Me - Blanchardstown, D

Service was fast and friendly, and they didn't east anytime getting my food to my table. The burger was thick and was juicy...but just OK when it comes to flavor...add a little salt to it! The fries were nice and crispy and the shake was thick but still able to use the straw. read more

Happy hour is no longer :( I guess the affordability and promotions were an introductory special, double sad smiley :( 1 star down because there are no halfs (I'd do 3.5, the price was a Strong selling point). Staff is still nice & restaurant is clean read more

I dined here last evening (Saturday) and the experience was mixed. It was quite a feast to be had, three starters and three mains among three people. The menu is good and I preferred the atmosphere here to the Captain Americas on Grafton Street. In fact, the crowd was pretty lively and it was pleasant. More so, the service was much nicer here. Friendly and polite. Unlike the establishment on Grafton, we were not charged for bleu cheese dressing for the wings, which is grand (and how it should be!) Further, service was fast and the meal was done in about 15 minutes. The hot and spicy wings were acceptable. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. They reminded me of generic wings in America made with Frank's Louisiana sauce or something akin to that. Only a couple of bones "broke" during consumption (which is a sign of wings that were re-frozen). There were a good quantity of wings too, but that's to be expected since the wings are quite expensive considering what they are. The Jalapeño poppers were brilliant. I sampled two and I was quite impressed. I'd come back for them alone. That was the good. Now for the meh. I had a Big Smoke burger and, while the burger was quite thick, I found it to be lacking in taste and rather bland. The bun was soggy and the rasher was meh. I wouldn't order this again, definitely not at the price. The chips were absolutely terrible. Worst chips I've ever had. The other person in the party enjoyed their main, so I'm sure some are fine - but none of us liked the chips. They were soggy and tasted microwaved (which I'm sure they were not, but it had the same bland and soggy taste as when you re-heat cooked chips.) The cheese sticks were terrible as well. Considering the price, you got three. While stuffed with cheese, they weren't cooked enough and had a rather "chewy" taste. It was rather yuck. And three? Come on. The price of the food was quite shocking, considering the location, type of "cuisine" and atmosphere. It was about 60 euro (no drinks!), which is the same price I spend when there are four of us, eating a lovely three course meal at the Castle Arch Hotel. I think the pricing structure here needs to seriously be re-classed. I personally won't have a full dinner here again, not at those prices/quality - but it be grand for a couple cocktails and select starters. read more

Really like this place! Great location and general atmosphere when you're actually there. The food is alright, I've had better but I've also spent a lot more! Nice touch with having the bar area too and a night club upstairs, not many places offer that in this area. Good selection of food too, so it can certainly pass for a family and even a work night out place! Only one issue really, was once left waiting over an hour for a steak, it did only happen the one time tho so haven't hesitated to come back and give the place another go! read more

I love these kind of restaurants. In particular though Captain Americas. I love the nostalgia that comes with ordering a coke float or a knickerbockerglory. But in particular, in comparing this restaurant to ones of a similar style, I love the price of Captain Americas. Having been to a competitor restaurant of theirs recently (which we wont mention, but we will say that it's named after a certain day you might Thank God for said day arriving) & they charged us so much money for 2 mains, 1 dessert & 2 drinks that we have sworn never to return. Absolute rip off for a poor quality. Anyway we went out to Captain Americas to try their new hot dog menu & we were not disappointed! What was a little disappointing was that their milkshake machine happened to be broken the day we were there but it's one of those things really that's unavoidable! The hot dog was delicious! I think the one I had was called a Junk Yard Dog, which just meant it had everything on it... Mmm to die for, Could do with another one now. The other half had a bowl of Chilli which was fine, but the rice was overdone & dry so it all stuck together. We also had a pitcher of beer while we were there. And for all that it came in under the €50 mark (a massive reduction as compared to what we paid at aforementioned competitor restaurant). We're one of those couples who when we find what we like we stick to it. For example we have a certain usual spot we go to depending on whether we want chicken wings, bbq, a burger, nachos etc. I can now add Captain Americas to that list for it's hot dogs. Delish! read more

I loved all the posters and photos all over the place! The staff were super friendly! .... I thought the service was very very slow. I think it's ok if you are with friends having some drinks and you don't mind waiting. Our drinks came a while after the starter. the portions are huge, impossible to eat and lick the plate after haha! Forget it! "So maybe it's good for sharing?" I enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the mozzarella fingers. I don't think it's my type of place, I'm not thinking in coming back but... you never know... read more

Service was really slow, and the food was good, expect for the fact that with my entree I got a side salad (to try and be healthy after getting jalapeno poppers and a veggie burger) which was COVERED in dressing. I should have asked for it on the side, but I didn't think every single piece of lettuce, spinach, onion would be smothered in dressing. The jalapeno poppers were the best I've had in Dublin, and the veggie burger is pretty good for a chain restaurant. Also, I got my poppers before we got our drinks...weird! read more

This restaurant looses 2 stars. 1 for service regarding reservations. They take reservations over the phone however when you get to the restaurant you always have to wait a minimum of 10 minutes before being seated. It has also happened more than once that our reserved seats were taken by someone who "gave our name" so they thought it was us. This waiting around an messing about really isn't a great start to the evening. The second for food. The food is exactly what it says on the tin. I usually order a pizza or the cod and chips which are delicious. Everything else is either overcooked, too much batter, too much cheese or not worth the money. The desserts however are to die for. Profiterole cheese cake is heaven! So that has a star all for itself! The atmosphere is great, brilliant decor which gives itself another star. And the final star goes to there tower. You can order this epic tower with either beer or a cocktail an share a drink each with 6 ppl easily. Pick your beverage wisely however! There's a lot of it!! :) read more

Great service, atmosphere and food. Regularly eat here and have never had a bad experience read more

Service was rather slow, finished starters and main course took 40 minutes to arrive. Apparently they had a hold up because manager was dealing with a bunch of kids having difficulty paying separately, I find it irrelevant since it shouldn't stop the waiter from pushing food out. Steak was well done when ordered it to be medium rare, when send it back they gave me medium done steak. Couldn't be bothered to wait or send back as my partner was basically finishing his meal by then. read more

I've been there 3 times for my sins and every time the main courses I've tried were a total disaster.. They are alright for starters.. ie Nachos ... But that's all! Staff couldn't be bothered to check with us to see if our food was okay... Never going back ! read more

I went with my family yesterday, I found the restaurant itself was nice and clean but a children's party did arrive not long after we sat down and this brought up the noise level (15) girls. I liked the big tables as these are good for families with small children. We got the mixed platter for a starter which I found very nice. my wife got fish and chips but I know she did not enjoy it as the batter was very very heavy and did not make for nice eating even onion rings had the same batter. My main was chilli which I found very nice also the rice was very good. Over all I would go back but I would not order anything that had batter as this is so heavy. The service was very quick and the staff very helpful. read more

The worst meal I've ever had the unfortunate circumstances of enduring. Wings=miserable. Broken shattered and no care whatsoever in their preparation. The ribs for main were deplorable and inedible. Chewy rough and tough. Connective tissue and fat still present even though menu stated slow cooked. If the ribs were intact slow cooked the connective tissue and fat would have dissolved into the meat producing a delicate and flavourful rack of ribs. But this was not the case. Never again terrible experience. Service was great food was shocking to the point of vomiting. read more

I'm not a big fan of captains but must say the club sandwich was probably the most amazing thing I've has there..

I ended up getting sucks into Captain Americas with a few friends for a late night bite. This wouldn't be my choice for a dining establishment as I prefer local, non-chain restaurants (but that doesn't always work out). Strolled in at about 10pm on Thursday night and surprisingly, this place was packed. It must be that the Captain kills it with €14.95 all day, any day for your choice of starter and main or starter and dessert. You definitely get your moneys worth for how much food you left. I was stuffed when I left and didn't end up eating half of the food on my plate. The service was a bit slow, but it was packed so it was understandable. Our server did come over right when we were sat to let us know that he'd be over in just a few minutes as not to keep us thinking that we had been completely abandoned. Once we ordered our food, weird enough it took less than 2 minutes for it to come out which means we got our drinks after our food. Since we both ordered burgers, I was convinced that they had either been sitting up in the window under the hot lamp, drying out waiting for someone to eat them, or they had been a mis-cook from another table and had been sent out to us. I was cautious enough while eating them because no burger takes 2 minutes to make. Two minutes is no exaggeration, I'd even say 1 minute, 30 seconds. The burgers were out before I could have walked from my table I was seated at, to the front door and back to my table. Although I was weary of the burger, still enjoyed it. When it came to dessert I was disappointed when it took almost 10 minutes to make a sundae and our mains took only 2 minutes. Could have done without the sundae as I was full off of half of my entree. I believe they had crazy drink specials going on that night, not sure if they have drink specials on all night. I can imagine that accounted for a bit of why it was so hectic at 10pm on a Thursday night. My opinion, okay food, mediocre service but what do you expect for €14.95. I'd be back if I was forced, but not out of my own free will. read more

I love Captain Americas and this has the added benefit of the location! Based in the shopping centre there is plenty of parking available. This is a brilliant venue for the odd treat and especially for kids! Decor made a 4 year old very happy with all the superhero stuff....the menu is your typical diner type food but they do have health options such as baked potatoes and grilled chicken. read more

Service is always good here, sometime slow but it's understandable when busy. The chicken wings have severely degraded in taste and quality, always tasted over cooked and half as job on mixing it with the sauce. Burgers are usually very dry. Ordered a steak once and it came out very rare and I was six months pregnant!! read more

I went there on a Saturday at lunch time. While all other restaurants were packed with people, Captain Americas was half empty. The staff was friendly, the burger had the usual average taste. So far, so good. A waitress came with a second beer, which I did not order, she offered it for free. 2 stars. I refused it. To wait for a staff member in order to wait for the menu might be acceptable, when all staff members are busy. They were not. At the end I had to go to the waiter in order to pay! This was a very poor experience. I complained at the till. That was my second at last time at Captain America's in Blanchardstown! read more

Every time we went there we were fooled! We had vouchers from work for 50% off, they did not want to accept them for the meals we wanted to order. Another time we went there they charged us for a cocktail double amount because we did not mention that we wanted non-alcohol drink. I did not notice there was any alcohol in my drink, although the waiter saw we were looking for non alcoholic drinks on the menu. The guy on the counter was very uncooperative to handle this miss understanding and very ignorant! (Very rude and unprofessional) The meat has very poor flavour, it tastes like you are chewing tasteless gum. Its understandable people go there to have fun and a party, but if you expect good food, go somewhere else! You get somewhere else better food for better price! McDonalds & BK tastes way better and you save a lot of money! read more

place was busy which on a bank holiday Monday is expected. Waited to be seated and had a pint while we waited but couldn't help feel we were in a holding pen like cattle with all the other customers.... when we were shown to our table we were ready to order. I went for steak sandwich with chilli fries. The steak sandwich was nice but not amazing ,the texture resembled a pork chop meaning it was a cheap steak and tasteless , a bit small and in a roll that resembled a small subway roll I would have preferred a ciabbatta , the fries were plentiful but the chilli was awful really really tasteless.... the service was OK were left waiting 15 mins for another drink which in the end we left and asked for the bill the drink order went unnoticed!.... the toilets are miles away from the dining area which is a pain and to be honest I was just glad to go. I really think Captain americas need to revamp their venue a little when you first read it all you see is a massive menu with such selection but from having their burgers before I went for steak sandwich and was as disappointed with it as I have been with the burgers here........In today's culinary climate with everyone offering a "great " burger ,wings etc I think its time the original trendsetters Captai americas need a revamp of their menu because it tastes stale read more

Absolutely love here, great food from bbq ribs to massive quater pounders,also have a great range of drinks,cocktails some i never heard or tried till now lol great prices, staff are nice and the place is lil bit noisy tho with music playing, like your in the supermarket other than that great place cool bar for you to wait to be seated or stay there for wings and a few cocktails, great ,cheap prices for the size of the meal you get read more

Teen daughter and myself ordered from the €15.95 meal deal. Got loaded potato skins which were soft instead of crispy and had an odd sweet taste, most was left behind. I don't normally go for burgers but was starving so went for the cheese burger. Absolutely DIRE!! Meat was tasteless, gristly, and when I cut through it with my knife it left a greasy smear all along it. ~The chips tasted like they had been cooked in oil which has been reused over and over. Daughter had chicken enchilada and complained that the chicken tasted "kinda strange". I have been to TGI Fri and Eddie Rockets and have had no complaints but this was just appalling. Will NEVER go back. What a waste of fifty quid. read more
