    Crab Roll
    Britney S.

    I go to Long beach every August and Captain Bob's is a must for their crab roll! So good!

    Chowder Fries with clam strips
    Thomas L.

    Wanted to try as much of the menu as we could and added the clam strips to the chowder fries. The clam strips seemed closer to calamari than the small breaded clam strips I was expecting. They are very peppery but also a little bland, not my favorite clam strips. The chowder fully solidified and almost seemed more like a cheese sauce. The fries had a nice crunch and bacon makes everything better. You order from a small shop and then can take a seat at one of the tables they have. The staff was nice and we had a very pleasant meal at the outdoor picnic tables

    Chowder fries with clam strips (09/2025)
    X D.

    Our group of three had the clam chowder fries topped with clam strips on a sunny day for lunch. The chowder was good, but may have been better on its own. It stool a substantial time to get our order (15+mins?) which was fine, but the chowder was topped with cheese and drowned the fries out a little. The biggest complaint was the clam strips. They were in a heavily pepper corn flavored batter which was overpowering. I ruling like clam strips to feature the clam flavor. If you don't like the sea, this chowder and the clam strips are for you as it's very cheese and potato forward. Good for an occasional snack.

    Supposedly Rhode Island style clam cakes, but not even close.

    Terrible! Absolutely terrible! Shameful that she actually calls these Rhode Island style clam cakes. This was absolutely nothing like Rhode Island style clam cakes. These "clam cake bites" were really just gross. Never mind that I had to wait over 45 minutes for them! She put us behind on our trip due to this delay. I went to the gift shop next-door to give her time, she said about 15 minutes. Came back 15 minutes later and she hadn't even started them yet. Told her I'd go back to the gift shop again to give her mom time. Came back about 20 minutes later and she still hadn't started them yet. I added this to our itinerary specifically because it said Rhode Island style clam cakes and that was literally the only thing that I got from here. Not only did it take forever, about 50 minutes, to get them, but they were nothing like back home. I don't know how this place has such good reviews. I'm guessing maybe the other stuff is good, but these definitely were not!

    Board games at the table

    These guys are awesome!! Not only do they have fantastic service but their food is great! A great place for chowder! The server and cook made a special meal up for my son, they even let him pick out his treat in the kitchen - he loved that! All the tables have a game, and there are lots of board games to choose from up front. This feels very welcoming and warm - like you're part of the fam!

Baked potato came with a giant dollop of sour cream, which I loved. For dessert, had the peanut butter pie, which was perfect to share for two. Watermelon lemonade was topped off with two little watermelon candies, so cute. Service: Very kind staff. Waitress was amazing and helped us decide dessert. Servers helped fill water and were quick to finish up our bill as our waitress was serving others. Smiles from everyone. Ambiance: Great music taste! Indie folk playlist for sure. Sat at a window table with the sun just peaking through. Adorable ocean theme, star fish on the windows were a nice touch. Went here to celebrate my birthday with my best friend and it was a great experience. Will 100% come back the next time I need a seafood fix.

As soon as I walked in I got a dirty look from the hostess (blonde young lady). She then asked me "what" and I stated 4 and a highchair and then she said "oh you are eating in here?" looks around and says it's about a 20 minute wait. Obviously if I walked into the restaurant I want to eat here, anyways I said okay and then instead of writing anything down she lets someone else get put down and then walks away. This other lady then comes up and asks if we were the 4 that was just written down and she just nodded her head no. That lady (brunette with glasses) then asks how many and says it'll be about a 30 minute wait. I said okay. As I was just sitting there waiting the blonde just kept looking over and staring and giving dirty looks. Other people came in after and I heard her tell them it'll be a 20 minute wait and she got their name. Not once was I asked for the name of my party, not once did I even get a smile. I came to this place expecting good food and I left hungry and disappointed. Never in my life have I felt so judged. Would not recommend to anyone because no one should ever feel uncomfortable in a restaurant they are about to eat in. *edited to add I waited there for over 15 minutes before I left because I could not be around the hostility anymore.

Service is friendly, the menu is varied, they have a good kids menu, and the food is fresh and delicious. All four of us loved what we got tonight. My favorite was probably the BLTTA sandwich, but the sweet potato fries with honey mustard for dipping is TOP TIER. Our server was Cara, and she was sweet and offered great suggestions and she told us about some upcoming holiday events they were having which we will likely attend. Our bill at the end was very reasonable. The Cove will be our go-to from now on!

We chose to sit on the back patio overlooking the golf course. The patio is covered and has about 6-8 tables. Love all their beautiful flowers surrounding the building! The menu has a nice variety of options for both food and drinks. We ended up ordering the BLTTA sandwich with house made chips, the reuben sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries and one of their daily specials, brisket with macaroni and cheese. The food was fresh and delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and we all finished our food. No leftovers. We especially loved the sweet potato waffle fries; crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The turkey on the BLTTA was not lunch meat, it was fresh turkey breast. So yummy! Overall a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items. Highly recommend.
