Had such a weird experience with the bartender here. We came for happy hour and sat down with two other folks who were enjoying their meal at the end of the bar. It was still early in the night but prime happy hour time. The bartender eventually came out to ask us what we wanted, then told us she was sorry but had to go back to cutting fruit in the back. Which is fine, you get in the weeds sometimes sure. Once she was back we put in some New England Clam Chowder, then a few more people sat at the bar including her wine rep. We'd been trying to order another round for a bit when a guy who seemed to be one of her regulars came up and ordered food to go, but no drink, which she immediately started pressing him on loudly, saying "If you don't order a drink you don't stay long, and then I'm going to be so f*cking bored here..." I guess having a bar with other people who want a drink is boring? Her conversation with this man continued and was kind of inappropriate - she talked about wanting to dropkick some kids at one point, which, what? Why? We had considered staying longer and ordering dinner but the vibes were off, so we called it a day and closed out. Sucks, because the clam chowder was decent and the views were great. read more

Took my Aunt for early birthday dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the accomodations and service. We had a view of the marina and as we chatted, we watched boats dock and then placed our orders. The Captain's Calamari appetizer was delightfully tender and the dipping sauce smelled and tasted delicious. My Aunt said the Shrimp and Crab Roll was very tasty and the Brioche Roll looked good as well. I ordered the Napeague Steamers and blame myself for not reading the fine print. Steamers are meant to be in broth and dipped in butter, these were in a garlic, white wine, butter sauce with no butter to dip in. (I'm fixed on how steamers are meant to be eaten and don't blame Captain Jack on this.) Next time, I think I'll try the Bouillabaisse. read more

On our way to Sag Harbor we stopped at Captain Jacks for a leisurely lunch. The ambiance is rustic and relaxing. Our server Savannah was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed everything but the highlights were the clam chowder and the salad with the Cajun scallops which were cooked perfectly. The views of the marina were beautiful. read more

The food is okay here. For hamptons food I was underwhelmed to say the least. Great service but everyone thought the food lacked in flavor. I would give them another chance as I believe they just opened. read more

We have been going here since they opened a few years ago. We love buck a shuck on Saturdays at the bar and always add delicious Caesar salad or a burger. Can't go wrong for lunch either $15 for a burger & a beer! They are now doing special menus in the summer, last night (Tuesday) is BBQ night offering pulled pork, chicken, baby back ribs, & brisket with beans coleslaw, cucumbers & a corn salad. We had the pork & ribs. We asked for the 2 sauces on the side. The Toms sauce is traditional bbq with a little heat & the chipotle glaze which I thought would be spicier was milder and was my pick. The shrimp & grits there are delicious! The grits cake is amazing!! The owner Erin always stops by to chat and is very hospitable, sometimes her fiancé Mike the chef comes out too. Our server Roberto a long time server is always spot on with requests. The view of the marina out of the many windows is beautiful, a great family restaurant! Go & Make sure to make a reservation! read more

First and last time we will go to Captain Jack's . The servings where very small , I guess that's why the prices were low . The old saying you get what you pay for . Everything was tiny Small bowl of mussels , tiny oysters, a few buffalo wings etc. Here was the deal breaker. 30 something bucks for a seafood pot pie. Sorry for this review but honestly that was nothing more then a crock of bisque with a crust on top , filled with mostly potatoes. Where's the meat??? If the fish was there it swam away ................... read more

Actually a hidden Jem in Southampton if I could would come here every day would recommend the fish and chips but they only serve them on Wednesday after 4:30 service is very fast and servers and very nice. Amazing overall would recommend to anyone read more

A little bit rough around the edges. Food (lately) has been better. Last time we went the service was on point. Loud when full of patrons. Parking ample. read more

Really nice casual alternative to the typical Southampton restaurant genre, with a fun atmosphere, incredible views, good/friendly service, and excellent food from top to bottom. Hope they can hold onto the chef, he's creative and excellent. read more

We just left the restaurant on barbecue night after sitting down and waiting 10 minutes to be told that they ran out of all the barbecue food. We asked to speak to the manager to just let her know our disappointment. Rather than apologizing, and perhaps asking us to come back another time or offering a free drink she, the manager, and another gentleman were extremely rude.. Do Not go to this place!! read more

Let me start by "WOW" , the chef is a true culinary chef. My wife and I have been there several times and have never been disappointed. He has been open since the 2023 season and it's a hidden jewel in the North Sea/Southampton area. Also changes the menu up and we just stopped in and are trying the fall menu. Stop in you won't be disappointed. Staff is amazing as well. PS I highly recommend the chicken wings with sweet heat sauce. The acorn squash is filled with delicious flavors and also the Mahi mahi Rueben. All the best to Capt. Jacks read more

This place was a huge disappointment we sat at the bar and service was hard to come by, plenty of people working but just hanging out, we had to ask for extra cutlery and napkins etc, then had to ask for another drink, had to get my own condiments, it was empty when we walked in mind you! Then I noticed a guy come out of the kitchen wearing gloves go into the toilet and come out still wearing the gloves and back into the kitchen! Food ok nothing special, charge a high fee for a card, won't be back mediocre pub grub! read more

Nice local place, ok food, very good service. I don't think the view is too great, but that might just be me. I would not make a special trip here, but if you're in the area it's an ok choice. read more

Old frozen and defrosted over fried flounder. I think they were supposed to be hushpuppies, but over fried and tastless. Fish tacos again...tastless. short rid grilled cheese was awful. Again over cooked and reheated and tastless. Over priced crappy food. Service was fine. Chef needs to go. read more

We haven't been to this location in many years, but popped in last night and were so pleasantly surprised. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. Our waiter, Matt, was perfect and really helpful regarding food, allergies and recommendations. The chicken wings were delicious and the cod was exceptionally fresh and perfectly cooked. Erin, who is one of the owners, came over to chat for a bit about the history of the place and her family's lifelong dedication to the restaurant business. A great place to keep in mind and apparently going to be open seven nights and five days for lunch. Go! read more

Amazing Food the service is super nice cannot say how good the food love coming by boat if you come you must get the new England clam chowder it's so good 10/10 reccomend read more

The food and service were great. If you haven't been here in a while, do yourself a favor and give it go. The food has greatly improved over the last few years. We would patronize this place occasionally out of sheer convenience... didn't expect much... it used to be more like a diner IMO... now the food is really quite good. The atmosphere just okay, a bit noisy when crowded, but really, really enjoyed the food, drinks and service! read more

Came in for dinner and our entire party loved everything we ordered. Everything was fresh and service was great! Such a nice server. We will be back! read more

We went there for the advertised BBQ night. We waited for a long time for our server to come and were then told they were out if all the BBQ food. That was disappointing, but the when we spoke to the manager she was SO rude! I dine out frequently and have never been spoken to so horribly! I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Wish them luck,,just not it though. Bread your own cutlets. Cut your own fries. Cook. You're assembling. This is meant to be helpful to the owners. read more

Service was excellent. Ambiance: great nautical feel, and great view of Lake Wholly and the docked boats; it was very nice. Even the other clients were friendly. My stuffed flounder was outstanding but experience was spoiled by their so-called "kit-kat" desert; maybe it was stale, left a memorable bad taste. read more

We tried the restaurant a couple of weeks ago. There were 4 of us. The restaurant was only filled to 20% of capacity. There were loads of places for us to sit, We asked to sit by the window so we could see the sunset and have a view of the water. The person seating who turned out to be our waitress us told us that she wanted to spread the patrons in different areas of the restaurant. We asked if the window seats were reserved and she said no. A restaurant is a service business and the answer should be YES, We are year round residents- we don't expect special treatment but we patronize all the local eateries all year long not just in the summer. We were very disappointed that a simple wish of being seated where we wanted could not be granted. The food was good but really started off on the wrong foot. If we were not with friends from out of town we would have moved on. read more

Quick service and great food! It was fairly empty on a Friday night (but it's off season now so makes sense). The lobster hush puppies were great to start with, and our entrees were tasty (tuna & shrimp and grits). I only gave 4 instead of 5 stars because the entrees were a little too saucy/overdressed - they could be a bit more understated, and the cocktails were a little watery. read more

My wife and I decided to check out Captain Jack's ("Captain Jack's On the Coast" -- more on that later..) for restaurant week. It's about a 30-minute drive from our house so we made a 6:00pm reservation. We arrived a little early and saw they had happy hour so we decided to sit at the bar and have a cocktail. When we sat down we got a brief greeting from the bartender who then went back to chatting with people at the bar. There was another guy standing behind the bar so, despite him looking clueless, I asked for the happy hour menu. He handed us menus and then asked the women "is this the happy hour menu?". She informed him/us that the menus were the restaurant week menus. We were told the happy hour specials - $5 well drinks, $4 drafts and $10 wine - so we ordered our drinks. While enjoying them we overhead a conversation that the man at the bar was named "Jack." I asked "the Jack?", the answer to which was that no, he wasn't "the" Jack, "the" Jack was the bartender's father. I asked if that Jack was a captain and got a curt response that he had been a captain in the local fire department. My wife mentioned that she thought Captain Jack's was a chain at which point she was (rudely) corrected by the bartender that this place was "Captain Jack's on the Coast" We finished our drinks and headed to our table. When the waitress came over we asked about ordering happy hour wines since it was still Happy Hour and she assured us that wouldn't be a problem but returned shortly to tell us happy hour drinks were only at the bar. I think this is total nonsense and don't understand this policy. The waitress was friendly but commented that it was her first night and our experience made me wonder if it was her first night waitressing ever -- she messed up our appetizer order (fortunately the runner who brought out our order was very nice and told us to enjoy the incorrect order and that he would get our correct order out right away), we didn't see her during dinner until I flagged her down to ask for dessert menus. We also had empty wine glasses on the table that were not cleared until the waitress came over with the dessert menus. Although the food was very good, we would not make another trip due to the poor service and the less than friendly experience at the bar. If we happened to be in the area, we might give it another shot but otherwise not. read more

THE BEST New England clam chowder I've EVER had. Hands down. My parents had the Peach & Goat Cheese salad with Chicken and loved it. I had the Mahi Reuben and it was delicious as well! The fries were delightful, normally I skip them, not this time! Kudos to the chef! read more

Dinner tonight was FANTASTIC! Clam Chowder was the best I've had, and I'm from Boston. Rich, creamy and deeply flavorful with a tiny hint of dill. Both entrees were perfection. 12 oz NY strip sirloin was tender & juicy, topped with a sherry demi-glace that truly complimented the cut. Broccolini was the perfect accompaniment with just the right amount of crunch and potato wedges were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and piping hot. Beer battered cod was equally delicious right down to the tartar sauce. Dessert of Smores Brownie was a decadent choice shared by two but still too much to finish. The service was excellent, staff very cordial and efficient and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. I will definitely eat here again. You should too! Maureen from MA read more

Worst service, mediocre overly fried greasy food and the most lackluster could care less owners and waitstaff. Don't waste your time. Like ever. read more

We love this place! The lobster hush puppies are a family favorite. Mike Soleau, the chef, grew up in the commercial fishing and restaurant industries. He knows his fish! His fiancé Erin is the front of house, she grew up in the industry. The view is great, bartenders are professionals. They are doing football specials on Sundays. read more

Average food, service and no ambience. Bay view not bay front. If you're in the North Sea, it's an option.

We wanted to like this place- as it has new owners and menu... but were sadly disappointed. The dining room was LOUD, the waitstaff inconsistent (forgot our appetizer until after we'd eaten main course) and the food was just okay. Had the Reuben (fries were cold,) the fish tacos and the shrimp and grits. No bar menu available due to liquor license but the $8 Arnold Palmer was all ice and mostly lemonade. Skip this place~ read more

Food is always delicious. Menu varies seasonally and uses what's locally available, creatively, with a southern twist. Looking forward to trying their Sunday brunch. Great atmosphere. Beautiful sunsets. read more

Captain Jack's is one of our favorites. The service is top-notch. The food is always excellent especially the crab legs are a must. Get there early to grab a drink at the bar or in the lounge and make sure to ask for Jack to get a little history of the place. read more

Amazing food, friendly, attentive staff. What a great view on top of all that. 10/10 would recommend!

Disappointing. Caesar salad was good. The cassoulet was definitely not cassoulet. We expected more. read more

Great food, family friendly! Have been going to Coast Grill for years! This is a refreshing new place on the water in North Sea

Love everything about this place with a wonderful cove view, delicious food and wine/beer selection. Windows make for happy reflected noise. The lobster hush puppies were plentiful and the best, as was the Key Lime parfait. Fantastic evening. Great staff! read more

What a treat! This place was so sweet. Super friendly positive atmosphere, and fun vibe. The kids loved the dinghy that had been repurposed with plants and flowers out front. Most importantly the food was so fresh and flavorful. The menu has this really unique spin on southern and American cuisine. It's like elevated comfort food - sooo yummy. The kids loved the lobster hushpuppies and chicken and waffles and honestly this one looked so good I had to steal a bite (or three!) it was INSANE. Crispy chicken perfectly cooked and Buttery pecan sauce deliciousness. Shrimp and Grits were perfect, not too heavy or saucy. On the recommendation from our server Matthew my husband added bacon to his Hot chicken sandwich and he was very happy. Not too spicy but just the right kick. And the fries were seasoned to perfection. There's lot of lighter fare on the menu too. Our neighbors ordered a beautiful chopped salad with lobster and they looked ecstatic. I guess the owners are a local family who salvaged a sinking ship that wasn't doing so well. That is reason enough to support this place. But the food and service will definitely keep you coming back. Five stars!! read more
