Got into town and wanted seafood for lunch. Wife had crab roll sandwich with cranberry slaw. Sandwich was huge and good. Slaw was great. I had fish and chips. Cod with light batter and a huge batch of fries. Added a bowl of chowder. Fish was not greasy and was flaky. Chowder had lots of clams but was a bit too potatoy for my taste. Prices were decent, quantities were huge and the food hot. read more

Halibut chowder was really good. Overall a very nice little restaurant. Owner was super friendly and had a nice chat about my trip. Worth a stop if you're visiting the beach. Thanks! read more

This is definitely a grandma/grandpa run place. When we walked in we were greeted with a happy "Hello". This is by far not a big place as there are only a few booths and a high top table. I had the fish and chips which was different kind of breading I ever had and a plate full of steak fries and a little rib of coleslaw; which I devoured. I really liked the fish and slaw, the fries were your everyday fries but very tasty. So if you're looking for a nice lunch visit Captain Bob. read more

We enjoyed the fish & chips, clam chowder and crab roll. They even made a GF crab roll to go for us!

We were looking for a cheap eat on our last day at the beach. My daughter found Captain Bob's on Yelp. We all got the clam chowder which was very good. Fish and Chips were huge so in hindsight I would have just shared with my husband. Bob is lovely, kind, friendly, and accommodating. I like to support local small business so was glad to spend money here, definitely not as cheap as I had hoped but overall worth the cost. read more

Really outstanding clam chowder. And the owners are just super-nice and very generous people. We'll definitely be back!

Delicious chowder! I got the langostino chowder and it was so good and very filling. I went because of the reviews on here and I was not disappointed. read more

We have a licensed emotional support dog that is allowed in any building by federal law. All we wanted was 2 cups of clam chowder to go and the lady that worked there gave us the hardest time about it. Asked us a bunch of questions on what he is licensed to do. Pulled up the "law" on her iPad saying she is allowed to ask us these questions but we had already answered the question she was asking MULTIPLE times. We ended up just leaving because she made us feel so uncomfortable. We have never been treated that way before. We have brought our dog on a plane TWICE and we didn't get asked as many questions as she asked us. read more

Small husband/wife place with AMAZING crab cakes! BIG pieces of cod & chips. Clam chowder was eeeh edible but not the best. Come early, they do sell-out especially on the busy summer Saturday's. read more

Captain Bob's Chowder - Crab cakes $13.95 - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, Washington

While some may make claim to having the best chowder or fish and chips. No one comes close to Captain Bob. We have been coming here for years now and the quality of each item is amazing. Make sure to check the Facebook post for the daily special chowder served that day and make your requests early if you are coming into town. Bob and his wife are amazing at how they can pump out the food and it i can't say enough good about the qualify and freshness. And just as a bonus the chowders are gluten free which means no useless wheat filler. You won't regret going or even waiting in line. So go early and enjoy where the locals eat. read more

De-licious! The gentleman was very friendly and kind! My husband usually avoid things with shrimp, but I had to grab the bowl away from him so I can get my share of shrimp chowder. We also had crab roll, and my that was fresh and big! Clam chowder was really good too! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent meal! We had the claim chowder and crab roll. The chowder was amazing. Thick, creamy sauce and loaded with clams. The crab roll was equally delicious -- they are very generous on the crab and it was very flavorful. Definitely worth going to if you are in Long Beach. read more

Don't let the size of this place fool you! Food was great! Service was friendly and quick!

It is a small place , but the fish and chips, clam chowder is so good , so tasty . Love it ! The free museum next door is worthy to visit after the meal . read more

Another example of unbelievably poor service. Long Beach seems to be full of restaurants with poor customer service. This place has A waitress who puts on one servers glove and then uses her bare hand to put food on your plate and pick up silverware for you! All you can say is "See ya!" They weren't even busy. But clearly over their head as restaurant owners read more

We stopped in here on our drive from Seaside because both Yelp & Trip Advisor gave them high ratings. Unfortunately we did not find this to be true. I have never had such awful chowder before. It was so salty & had a pasty consistency that the four of us couldn't eat it. And I'm a lover of clam chowder. We also shared a crab roll which was pretty good but again it had way too much salt. I will definitely not be back. Sorry Bob! read more

My girlfriend and I tried this place out on our way to Astoria. Best clam chowder in my life!! Im a clam chowder snob and I found myself eating my bread bowl at the very end instead of with the chowder. Cute interior and awesome location. My trip to the museum next door prompted me to try this place out. Loved the website! I will definitely make this a tradition. read more

Delicious food- had the crab roll, the chowder and a hot dog. All of it was really good! It's a small business ran by really nice people, and I will recommend it to anyone I know headed to the coast. read more

So incredibly tasty! The fish and chips were lovely, my favorite part however, and this is odd- was the tartar sauce! It was so tangy and creamy, definitely a good pair with the flakey fish. Cashier was such a sweetheart, very hardworking. We walked away happy, we will be coming back for our next visit! read more

Excellent service, generous portions, all menu items are made from scratch. I highly recommend the crab roll.

We have always enjoyed the chowder and crab rolls at Bobs. This trip to Long Beach we had been looking forward to grabbing lunch there again. As usual we ordered the crab roll and chowder combo. They chowder options vary daily and the offerings on this occasion were clam and salmon. Both were delicious as always. Unfortunately the "crab rolls" contained no actual crab, but were instead made with "Krab". They used to have real crab so this was a crashing disappointment. I don't want to come all the way to the beach to eat pollack and I'm really not happy with the false advertising. If that's the kind of crap you want to serve, fine. But please don't advertise something as what it is not. $6.95 for a hot dog roll full of dyed, processed imitation crabmeat is outrageous. Call it what it is, and lower the price or serve REAL crab(or even shrimp!) and raise the price. Just don't be dishonest. Is that too much to ask? ******Re: The response from The Owner- crab isn't stingy and white and neon pink. I've lived in the PNW for 50 years, I am familiar with crab. You are most definitely serving surimi.******** read more

The food was good. All the seafood was fresh which I am a stickler on. I would call this a $$ and not a $ though. Traditional chowder is my preference being a west coaster and he delivered. Bob talks up a storm and can entertain you with convo while you eat (at least in the off season). I'd give the chowder an 8 personally. While the clams were there, the flavor was more potato heavy. Worth a shot if in the area and need a decent cup of chowder. He also shared thay if you see a place that says "award winning chowder" for that year, it means they're the worst in the area and it's the Chambers way of helping their business. read more

The food here is great. The chowder, fish & chips and baked potato soup were all delicious! So was the seafood chowder that we sampled. The fish was lightly breaded and a big piece. Captain Bob was great too. What a great guy. A MUST stop! read more

My husband and I both got the smoked salmon chowder. It was absolutely delicious. I could eat this stuff for a week. I also got the crab roll, the crab was good but I wanted more of it. We will be back for sure. read more

Best CRABCAKES ever!!! Chock full of real crab, not bready, nice spices - goes amazing with the homemade coleslaw that has dried cranberries and mandarin oranges. Yum!!! read more

On a cold March day my husband and I and daughter went in to get a bowl of clam chowder when we arrived they had Lobster chowder the owner was very friendly and nice and offered us samples of both types of chowder. After we try the lobster chowder we knew we needed to have some we also ordered fish and chips to share the lobster chowder was out of this world never have I had better my husband and daughter agreed the fish and chips or light and Flaky breading and very delicious fish I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy and owner ran and operated business with friendly service clean environment and delicious food we will be back. read more

Oh my. Clam chowder, cheeseburger chowder, crab rolls and fish & chips. All AMAZING!!! Capt Bob himself served us- so cheery and outgoing. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent smoked salmon chowder and the fish and chips are superb also! Fish was fresh and not your typical beer batter so it was a nice change. Tarter sauce is homemade.....bought extra chowder to take home for only $11 a quart! read more

Nice hole in the wall place with decent food but adding a 20% automatic gratuity for the convenience of swiping your card through a tablet is highway robbery. read more

Some of the best clam chowder I've had in awhile! Captain Bob's was amazing! Five stars!

Delicious clam chowder properly seasoned (so many chowders these days are undersalted) and the crab roll was tasty and refreshing. Coconut shrimp were fresh and tasty as well. They know what they are doing here. We'll be back. read more

Crab Sandwich Roll and chunks of clam in chowder were gooooooddddd! Friendly service and all set up with tablet pay + tip. A few booths to sit down for a quick grab or bite to eat. :) read more

We decided to try this place and it was great. They make everything fresh. On Sunday Bob makes a awesome Salmon chowder. My wife had the clam chowder and crab roll it was delicious. Even our children liked the food! They said it was awesome. read more

We went to Bob's On a Saturday at 12 PM. Saturday is the big tourist day of the week and they had been open about 1 hour. The owner and his wife were there serving. They did NOT have half of the things on their menu. Its not that they ran out - the owner just didn't bother to make them. She didn't bother to get crab cakes. She didn't have bread bowls And she only had breaded fish cakes. She said so herself. This restaurant got rated in a local top 10 list and now the people both quit their jobs to sell chowder. The chowder is fair but, the people don't care. They found a way to make it and now They are lazy. They don't care to have half the stuff on their 5 item menu read more

Check out this little spot! We came for clam chowder and ended up trying the clam chowder, the scallop chowder, the coconut shrimp, and the fish and chips! Everything was awesome! Huge pieces of fish, thick and creamy chowder! The fries were just ok and the kids meal items we tried aren't worth mentioning but the seafood was great and the price was great too! read more

Good chowder. Very potatoey and not starchy. No sit down service but staff are courteous. You aren't allowed to take your own water in.

The food is simple, fresh and delicious, but it was the personal service that makes Capt Bob's deserving of 5 stars. Don't let the small, greasy spoon appearance turn you away. The chowder was perfect - not too salty, runny or thickened by cornstarch. The halibut was fresh and the portions generous. The crab roll was divine - not drowned in butter or mayo. Bob and his wife made us feel at home and treated our kids to homemade chocolate chip cookies. Since Long Beach is a family favorite, we will be back! read more

We recently stopped at Captain Bobs for lunch our first day in Long Beach, ordered his clam chowder with the complimentary breadsticks and he even brought us samples of another chowder he was working on. Everything was delicious as usual and he was so friendly and helpful! A couple near us were sharing a huge dish of fish and chips and saying it was the best ever. We should have gone back to Captain Bobs the next day for fish and chips but regretfully tried Castaways instead where the service was cold and the food made us sick. read more

Nice family run biz with very nice owners, small, next to Marshs. Their crab roll was outstandingly fresh and tasty. Try it with a cup of their delicious clam chowder and your set. All the restaurants in LB get their seafood from Crab Pot read more
