I buy fresh seafood from here. I haven't been disappointed. The staff is extremely helpful. At my last visit they cleaned my shrimp for me (because I bought only 1 pound). Great food, great service. read more

I hate to give bad reviews.... but I can't lie. I really don't like anything about this place. OK, let me correct that by saying the people who work there are very friendly. Ambiance is zero. It wouldn't take much spruce the place up and make it look a little bit more inviting. Food - what can I say... I have just been here for the third time and didn't like any of my three meals. The first time, the breading on my shrimp was under baked and soggy. Last time I had some type of popcorn shrimp I believe it was and it had the weirdest chemical smell that I could even taste in the shrimp.. I have no idea what that was, but I tossed my whole plate in the trash. Most recently I had a broiled crab cake.. I was disappointed that it had so much filler in it, I had expected more crab meat. Also, it seemed so dry, normally when I order a crabcake somewhere, it comes in some melted butter. To top it off, it was served on what I would describe as a cardboard plate. And apparently the oil from the crabcake soaked into the plate and creates a dark brown/green stain. Very unappetizing. Next time my friends go here I'm afraid they will have to go without me. read more

I hate to mention this restaurant as a hidden gem, but once published, it will no longer be hidden. After we traveled to Quakertown with my grandson to play their local U-11 boys team, the family was hungry. After reviewing our possibilities, we chose Captain Bob's. Ordering fried oysters and broiled shrimp plates enough for everyone, we selected a table and waited. Finally, the food was ready, and all of us cleaned our plates. The food was excellent, when we come to Quakertown from New Jersey again we will come back to our favorite restaurant. read more

Food is good, fresh. My issue is with cleanliness. The person that takes your order, your money, writes the receipt; is also the person that picks out your food( no gloves). I asked why they didn't have on gloves when handling all the above. The response was, " the heat of the oil will burn off any germs. When the food is cooked, then gloves will be used." I was taken aback. Hands should be covered at all time when handling food. I will no longer patronize this establishment. Too many different hands handling too many different things. ** read more

If you are looking for a lot of frills, go ahead and pay double somewhere else. If you want fresh, great tasting seafood, this is your place. read more

There is nothing pretentious about this place. The food was as advertised and it's a good down home solution if you want to go out for an inexpensive meal. read more

Stopped by for lunch, nice, casual, clean restaurant. Very nice, mostly teenagers at the counter. I had a haddock sandwich which was moist, crispy coating and large! Very good! Large pile of fries. Very good value, food was hot and fresh read more

Passing through town and found on yelp looking for someplace local to stop quickly rather than a big chain. Very comfortable place! Staff was super friendly. Very casual with a slow but steady stream of what I'm guessing are regulars. Counter service, and not a huge menu but our food was quite good and very reasonably priced. We both had platters which come with fries and slaw. Fries are frozen shoestring type but cooked nicely. Slaw was really good. Interesting that half of the establishment is a seafood Market. Again a steady stream of customers which tells me they have quality product! Nice complimentary businesses. We'd stop again if in the area and recommend you do too! read more

I have been going to captain bobs seafood ever since a friend recommended it over 15 years ago. It's the best place to get fresh seafood. They always clean and devein my shrimp for all my parties. And their cocktail sauce is to die for I so recommend this place. Thank you Mrs Vandoren Pierson!!! I always recommend to others who ask. So worth the trip there read more

picked up dinner in February while babysitting the new grandson. first thing I noticed when I walked in the takeout door was the smell. there wasn't a trace of fishy smell. not only that, but there wasn't a trace of bleach or cleaning product smell. it's apparent that they have fresh fish, and they clean regularly so you never get a buildup of either aroma. the dinners were excellent. we started with calamari that was good but not exceptional. the broiled shrimp & scallop platter was excellent - nicely cooked and very tasty. my wife had clam strips - plentiful and flavorful. all very well made & more than adequate in quantity. well worth the visit - excellent place. read more

So, I've been to Captain Bobs twice in about the last month. The first visit, was a one star. Todays visit was a 4. The first time, I got the broiled crab cake. What I expected was a crab cake finished under the broiler. What I got was a lead puck. It was so heavy and dense. Flour on the outside. It was horrible. There's a right way to do broiled seafood and a wrong way. Todays visit, I got the fried seafood combo. Which I have gotten on other occasions and am always happy with. Today was no exception. Picked out my red cream soda. Food didn't take that long. Everything was fresh and tasty. read more

I HIGHLY recommend!! The staff is always so nice & friendly & knowledgeable. If they aren't sure, they always find an answer for you quickly. We always get fresh seafood & take home & cook ourselves. All the seafood we have gotten has been fresh, clean & very good. Will always return to Captain Bob's! read more

There are not many places like this in the area, it's a frozen and fresh fish market, as well as a seafood restaurant. It is very casual, and when I say restaurant, it's more like take out containers, or paper plates and plasticware, that you can eat there. So , not at all fancy, but tasty, and consistent. The fried scallops are among my all time favorite. The Cole slaw is delicious... as are their hand breaded onion rings...well worth their minimal up-charge. My husband is a big fan of their crab cakes, and he is definitely picky with his crab cakes. They have two 'levels' of crab cakes...my husband orders the higher priced ones, with less filler, more crab meat. Check the hours before you go, they close early and are closed on Mondays. It's a great easy option for a night you want something yummy and don't feel like cooking!! read more

Captain Bob's food and service always pleases. I was especially delighted to find oysters are now in season; delicious as always!

I ordered broiled shrimp platter with pepper hash and salad, which was very good. My friend ordered seafood bIsque, 1/2 lb U-peel shrimp appetizer and seafood salad. She said all were really good. I ordered 5oz wild caught halibut and 2 crab cakes from the market. My friend ordered clams casino and U-PEEL shrimp from the market to take home. She liked it that much. read more

I was ill prepared for what to expect. This is NOT a conventional restaurant, this is a "drive-in" with seating. I found that out through osmosis! The food was equally uninspired. I order (at the window in the other room) clam chowder, the "special fried oyster platter" and a soda. I was given a tray with the chowder, a spoon and a cup with a lid and told they would call my number. No napkins, no further instructions. I had to go back up for my next tray that would hold my platter and a fork---no napkins or knife. It wasn't until nearly finished, I went to take a drink of soda and learned the cup was empty---I had apparently missed that detail :( The chowder was simply chowder, nothing at all memorable and not packed with clams. The oysters were crowded out by the breading, the FF were at best average---but the star of the show was the coleslaw--it was quit nice-----but not enough to cause me to return! read more

We love Captain Bob's. Friendly people who know their stuff. Divine shrimp. Just great quality. The prepared food is tips as well. I am a big eater and couldn't finish a shrimp special they recently had. You will not be disappointed. read more

After hearing about this place from family forever, I finally decided to stop in and get some seafood for the grill! 60 bucks got me two 9oz brazilian lobster tails (way bigger than we expected - sooo much meat!!!), a dozen bacon wrapped scallops, and 4 GIANT stuffed clams! We ate like kings!! All delicious! The staff was incredibly helpful as well explaining the differences between the various types of lobster tails! Captain Bob - I salute you!! read more

Great food. Not much on ambience more like cafeteria style with window ordering and plastic trays but the food is great. Always fresh and everything is made to order. Prices are very reasonable for seafood and you can order fresh seafood to go in their store that it right next door. read more

We get fresh fish once a week and it always delivers on the fresh. They can even get something special if you give them a little time. We once asked for a fish we saw on Masterchef, monkfish or grouper, I forget which but they got it the following week. Always friendly and even when packed, never a long wait. For making fresh fish at home, you can't do any better than sourcing from Captain Bob. read more

Great place never any worries of quality or food prep cannot say enough nice things about the staff and owner

Most of food is very good but pricey for fast food quality and small diner atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful but there is no waitress service. Very easy to spend $15-20 per person for window order sit and eat style restaurant. read more

For fresh uncooked fish retail store - not restaurant . Great variety daily of fresh fish and shellfish. Marvelous opportunity to have healthy fresh fish at home. Stuffed mushrooms and clams are a plus as well. read more

Nice little hidden gem. The seafood is fresh, and actually well worth the price. The scallops are incredible.

Today I visited Captain Bob's for lunch. I have been coming to this quaint establishment for years and they never disappoint. Located on Route 309 in a strip mall Captain Bob's is easy to overlook. They have a take out side which sells fresh seafood as well as their prepared options. I have never tried any uncooked items but everything looks fresh and I have never noticed that fishy smell you sometimes encounter at fish markets. I ordered the lunch special which consisted of your choice of a fried flounder or haddock sandwich. A tossed salad or cup of New England clam chowder and a drink for six bucks. The cup of chowder was tasty you can tell it's homemade. It was full of potatoes and clams. The flounder filet was a nice size and served on a burger bun. It was fried lightly and tasted delicious with the tartar sauce. I tried the rice pudding which was advertised as homemade. It was okay. I missed the cinnamon which is usually on top and it didn't have raisins which isn't a big deal, but it seemed to lack a richness. The restaurant is decorated with loads of marine decor. There are two dining rooms. One has old school hard molded plastic seating and the other room has tables and chairs. The staff is pleasant and the prices are reasonable. If your in the area I recommend you give Captain Bobs a try. PS The seafood bisque is delicious! read more

Always fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Their lunch specials are especially good with broiled flounder sandwiches and fresh side salad. Service is very accommodating. read more

Prices are very reasonable for eat in dining. The fish and chip lunch and platters have all been good, but easily skip on the clams. I ordered them twice and each time they were too sandy to eat. I understand that it's fresh, but it still needs to be edible. All in all, it's worth going to when you're in the mood for a quick and inexpensive seafood binge. read more

Woweeee!!!! I purchased some bacon wrapped scallops to prepare at home and I must say they were the best I ever had. So fresh and sweet. Magnificent flavor. Going back for more very soon read more

First I I would like to award it 4.8 stars. My personal reluctance to award 5. If you are looking for no frills (there is no wait staff) really fresh, very well cooked seafood this is the place. read more

Freshest seafood in town. Friendly and fast service. We have been buying our seafood from Captain Bob's for years. Never had any problems. Prices are very fair. read more

Despite the staff being friendly we won't be going back. My husband and I got takeout and it was awful. I had the fried crab cake platter and he had the fried flounder. It was not cooked properly. The best way to describe it was they did not have the fryer oil hot enough or rushed it. (They were not busy when we were there) The breading had no taste or seasoning and the onion rings and fries were not cooked or even browned. Extremely disappointed as we have gone here before and enjoyed their food. We were looking forward to treating ourselves and not only was the food bad but the portions were very small. read more

Kind of a hole in the wall right along 309 and didn't expect to much, but my husband and I were in the mood for seafood, so we gave it a try. The very next night, we found ourselves ordering again (always a good sign). This place is clean, inexpensive, and their seafood is awesome. We've taken out about 4 times thus far and it's always been wonderful. This is the kind of place you'd expect to find down at the shore, not hiding in a strip mall outside of Quakertown read more

The quality here is always high. I am disappointed to share that as I suspected, I am getting less than I am paying for. I just picked up the 6 lbs of shrimp I ordered and it only weighs 4 lbs on my commercial food scale. How many stars should I take off?? read more

Hooked on their crab cakes! Great food and great service! I also love how you can order fresh seafood to go as well.

This place really is good. I got the seafood combo two times (once for take-out and once for eat in) and really find it to be a good value and is delicious. The quality (and quantity) of the food is great and its evident that the food is fresh. Although I haven't tried any of it, they have a large selection of fresh seafood and freshly prepared food. Check it out! read more

You can buy raw fish there so you could cook it yourself, or just eat there. 99% of the people there are old folks, but the food is incredibly great. Sea food is done well, but the calamari is not good. (Way too wet) The thing that seems to bother us most is how early they close on weekends and weekdays! They close as early as 7pm! read more

Bob has been my fish monger for years, and I trust him with my seafood. Knowledgeable and grumpy...just like TV. They will broil any fish you want with by the pound and send you off with some Old Bay and lemons for a heart healthy lunch. read more

Captain Bob's is a great place to dine in for some fresh fish (BYOB!) or take some fish home to cook. My fried flounder platter was great although the sides were pretty underwhelming. The prices are cheap and the portion of fish was big so that was good. My fiancée had the broiled scallops and really enjoyed them. I'm happy I finally tried this place but think next time I'll just buy the fish there and eat at home with sides I make! read more
