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

    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!

    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!

    Good for small bites or casual dining. The service was pretty fast and the servers were kind. The clam chowder was a bit too thick and very potato-ey, just a personal preference. I definitely recommend the halibut, fish and chips! It's light, airy, and fluffy

    We went here for a bit of lunch I got cod fish and chips, with a cup of clam chowder and my girlfriend ordered a crab roll.( Lucky there was a slight hill on the street other wise the crab would have just sat there ) She said it was really good. My stuff was tasty if it wasn't I am sure I would have got more of it to myself since she did eat most of the chips. We enjoyed the outside seating.

    Back in Mar 2022, I was on a road trip from Southern Cal to up north through San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, and Discovery Bay, WA. I swung on by Long Beach, WA on my way back to Portland. Got a chance to eat at Captain Bob's Chowder for early dinner. What a delightful find! Love the chowder... tons of ingredients... don't know all that was in it, but every scoop was delish! Wished I got two chowders LOL. Fish and chips were good, too, especially the fish... it was all fish lightly battered. The steak fries could have been crispier though. Actually, I would have preferred shoe string fries (hint hint LOL). Not sure if I will ever be back to Long Beach, WA... I may if I decide to stay at WorldMark Long Beach in the near future adventure. =) Staff was very friendly and pleasant. Prices were okay depending on what you get... thought a few of the items were quite pricey... lobster roll for $25+ (hmmm). While I was waiting for my food, I went next door and checked out Marsh's Free Museum... funny, at the time, I didn't know the store's name until I got home and googled it LOL. A lot of neat stuff in there... got myself a nice golden "Bee Happy" mug and a couple coasters. I know... this is a review for Captain Bob's Chowder and not for Marsh's Free Museum (I will do one for them though)... so let's get back to this one LOL. Give Captain Bob's Chowder a try when you're in Long Beach, WA. You must get the chowder... that's what they are famous for! Happy Chowder'ing!

    Great roll, light mayo, fresh crab. Worth the $$. Service was friendly and quick. A perfect spot to grab lunch.

    Best clam chowder, and their bread bowl was so yummy and fresh…read more Patty melt was great, halibut sandwich was excellent. Not huge portions but good food, and very good service.

    First off, I'm biased: I don't expect "amazing" from railroad-inspired diners.......this place…read moreproves how shortsighted that actually is. I stopped in hoping for reasonably priced fried seafood.....the Loose Caboose stopped me in my tracks! The service was attentive and really efficient, the ambiance is artfully decorated dollar bills stuck in between railroad and coastal memorabilia......it's an eclectic mix for ambiance. But: I just had probably the best clam chowder I've ever had. More clams, big chunks of clams, than potatoes......and somehow even tender, yet still identifiable celery? For real, I'd eat a gallon of that chowder. I almost took some to go. Fortunately, I went a bit jiggy with my fried prawns.....and got the 10pc! Like the chowder, the prawns were beyond excellent. Lightly breaded, tempura, almost. The breading actually had body and flavor....it isn't window dressing! And the prawns were very big, very juicy, and absolutely the perfect level of done.......a revelation among prawns, for sure! The sauces didn't taste like they came off the food service truck either. Both the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were exemplary. The added coleslaw was bright and crisp with just a hint of malt vinegar.....a perfect dressing! I stopped in for just "some food"......what I got was a delightful experience. I'll absolutely be back!
