Have you ever gone somewhere to eat and you knew with the first bite that you found something special? It was love at first bite for me and my wife at the Captains Galley in Gresham. Living here for almost three years I haven't found a seafood place I really liked. Yes we went to the world famous seafood place in Portland thans been in business since the 1930's. Yes we've been to Mo's On the ocean. But I put Captains Gally ahead of the pack. The best clam chowder I've ever had. Seafood goodness in every bite. As good or better than I've had in Boston. Light crispy battered fish. Not greasy at all. Clam and shrimp that were fresh and delicious. Fancy accommodations? No, it's a food truck...we ate in the car. And don't forget the homemade potato chips. The coleslaw needs some work, but this family business has hit my mark for good pricing and delicious seafood! read more

I had the cod sandwich, fries and coleslaw. Excellent. Today the owner was there all by herself and she was busy when we got there. Food came fast and hot and owner was very friendly and in wonderful mood. You order at the window and pick up your food there. There's outdoor seating only and of course you can get the food to go. They have the best cheese cake I've ever had. Today I had lemon and my friend had butterfinger. Different flavors. The best. read more

Great fish and chips spot in Gresham! Their clam chowder is flavorful, thick and creamy with an ample amount of clams. The fish and chip options are plentiful and crispy with good quality seafood. They have your standard fish, shrimp, calamari, oysters, and clam options. After trying this place a few times to satisfy my occasional fish and chip craving, I have yet to be disappointed. read more

Captain's Galley is hands-down the best place to get deliciously fried fish. Always battered to perfection, never too heavy, and always great portions of fish. I especially enjoy their house made chips and the 'special' sauce they make for the fish, definitely a must try. read more

A solid fish and chips place. Only cod, but done right. The highlight is their home cut chips. So thin and crispy- and theybstay crispy for a long time. Chowder is good - a bit too salty.... But solid. Be sure to ask about their specials - read more

Amazing food and prices and GF!!! Their breading is the best. Highly recommend this place.

Came on a Friday evening with my fiance and wasn't busy at all. We got 2 orders of fish and fries, an order of calamari and a cup of clam chowder. Once we got home we noticed we didn't get the soup. Called them and they said next time we go in, they would give us a free one. -Fish was okay. The batter was crispy but overall not much flavor at all. The tartar sauce they give is very dill forward and not the traditional kind you would "expect". I also wish that they gave you more than a sliver of lemon. At least give me a good size wedge? -Fries need to be cooked just a bit longer but salted and still good. -Fiancé said calamari was good. Not chewy and had a good flavor. We will end up going back so we can get our clam chowder and I would like to try their cheesecake but I probably wouldn't get the fish again. If they redid their batter with more flavor, I'd be willing to try it again. The gentleman who was at the counter was VERY nice and they did deeply apologize that they forgot the soup. read more

Captains Galley was good. The fish n chips were very good -- I could tell they used high quality ingredients, and they seemed to really take a lot of pride in it. I wasn't a huge fan of the clam chowder, though I'm usually a bit picky there. They encourage fried potato chips instead of fries, which I was a bit surprised at. I'm not sure if fries are an option, but if so I would personally prefer that. The chips are just a bit greasy and not quite what I was looking for. It was busy when I went. They have a system where they will call your name over a speaker. It worked OK, though can get a bit crowded in their little parking area. The prices seemed a bit high, but I think that may be related to quality of the product (especially the fish). I'll probably go again and skip the chowder, and try it with fries. If it goes as I hope, this may be a 4-star upgrade in the future. read more

Decided to give this place a try after reading all the Yelp reviews. Also, a major disappointment at Black Bear Diner's "All You Can Eat Fish Fry" drove me to give Captain's Galley a try. I ordered the 3 piece Captain's Platter for $15 (cod, shrimp and clam strips) and was very happy! For $5 more you could also order fried oysters but I passed on this as I'm not quite sure I would like oysters but I will give it a try next time. Opted for the fresh made chips which were awesome. I will definitely be back to try the Clam Chowder. Also, don't forget to ask for their house-made red dipping sauce. Yum! read more

I loved me the fried oysters. The lady was very nice and friendly. It is nice little place and I did not even wait that long for food.

I ordered the #10 (pick two) . I chose shrimp and oysters. I got 4 pieces of shrimp and a bunch of oysters. I recommend the homemade chips; I've not tried the fries. The food is delicious and served quickly. There's a covered eating area. You can order ahead too. read more

The place is simple and feels like home. Amazing clam chowder and fish&chips! from Arizona

Great fish and chips. Nice people with good service . Parking can be a bit challenging when busy.

Great food! Good menu, can't wait to try other items! Service was fantastic and the wait was minimal!

It was the best. Cooked fresh and to perfection. Intend to go back. Served hot. Can eat on the deck. They have a couple of heaters to help keep you warm. read more

Love this place! Today we ordered for the office. Impressed with the fish tacos, nice sized taco, especially for the price. The clam chowder is one of the best we have had. The fish was nice and crispy. Fries were seasoned well. Their pink sauce.. fry sauce? was also tasty! I would definitely continue to give this place my business@ read more

Food was good! I enjoyed the breading on the fish - not super thick like some places. Crinkle cut fries are my least favorite fry but I was there for fish anyway ;) the dill in the tarter is pronounced and tasty. Mom got the fish tacos and the slaw was great. read more

We just had the fish tacos today! They are absolutely delicious!! We know where we'll be going for taco Tuesdays now!! And I asked for crispy fries and she did them perfectly! read more

I had driven past Captain's Galley countless times without giving them much thought until one day I saw all their rave reviews on Yelp for "fish & chips". So, I stopped in to get some dinner and knew right away after a few bites that the rave reviews weren't an exaggeration...this place is terrific! They use cod for their fish, and the coating is a light breading that comes out with a perfect golden browned crispness. I prefer this lighter style over the thick and heavy batter-dipped fish that has a hard crusty coating that feels like chomping through a hard taco shell. Also, the fish was unfailingly moist and flakey. For me, it just doesn't get any better than this. They offer a choice of fries or hot potato chips, and I think the potato chips are homemade too...with perfect crispness. They are set up mainly for food to-go, but there are four small tables under cover along with a picnic table for anyone who wants to eat there. They're located on an open lot so there's lots of easy parking all around. If you try Captain's Galley even once, I'm fairly sure you'll like them. read more

Best fish and clam chowder I've had in a long time. Will definitely go back. Service was excellent as well

small spot right near downtown Gresham with dry and covered outdoor seating. Food is freshly cooked to order and is genuinely delicious. Price is right for what you get in portions and in taste. The fish sandwich is amazing! Nice customer service read more

We're trying to find the best British style Fish & Chips besides the Winston's F & C's up in Vancouver and the Captain's Galley has it! Hot, crispy and delicious. Service was excellent. We did the take-out as it's not a diner. Outdoor seating only BUT it was so worth the drive! read more

Wow! This is great, lightly battered, cod fish and chips. High quality, fresh cod tasted much better than the halibut I had a few days ago at a place on the Coast. I haven't tried anything else here, but judging from the amount of customers ordering the Captains plate, I will be back to try that as well. Great little shop! read more

The Fish, french fries and clam chowder are worth the stop and you will appreciate the fast service and friendly servers

You get your moneys worth and the food is Awesome. Everyone I have had the Pleasure to meet that works there Has been Very Helpful and Have a Welcoming Attitude towards All their Customers. read more

Generally very good for everything on the menu. We frequenrly get the chowder, which can be hit or miss. When it's a miss, it's too salty. And this happens too often. When it's a hit, it is great, approaching New England quality. Bit odd that it varies so much. Love the oysters and calamari. The accompanying fries are just ok, so we just go for the potato chips, which are very good. read more

Bar none, best fish and chips in Gresham! Actually, the best I have gotten in the USA since I returned from the UK in 1987 after being stationed there for two years! I am soooo happy I found this little jewel of a restaurant. The food is wonderful, the desserts are delightful, and the owner is amazing. Don't drive passed downtown Gresham on Powell without stopping by. You won't regret it! read more

My philosophy is that the very best seafood joints always seem to, upon first assessment, stoke up doubt. Doubt of the quality of food, of my decision making abilities, of what this could potentially mean for my digestive system. In the heart of Gresham by a small greenway, in a seedy motel parking lot, you'll find just the place. A true pearl among seaweed. We family styled a few meals and I couldn't even pick out parts that I enjoyed the best because it was all a delightful "escape to the beach". -The fish in the fish and chips basket was so crispy and tender with home made potato chips fried to complete textural perfection. - The shrimp and crinkle cut fries basket were fresh and still crispy even after the car ride home, but not greasy. - The chowder was the only slightly disappointing thing as it was kind of gelatinous in texture and inedibly salty (my guess is that it was poorly mixed? Because after we added milk at home it was DELICIOUS.) I can't wait to go again and enjoy their really well maintained and thoughtfully created outdoor eating space as the weather gets nicer! read more

After a year of living life as a vegetarian, I decided to add seafood this year. Last week I ordered in my first fish & chips (in quite a while) from a certain Crimson Bird restaurant. To say I was disappointed, would be an understatement. With the memory of really good fish and chips as my driver, I started searching for other options in my area. To my pleasant surprise, Captain's Galley had cultivated a fine following. Tonight I dropped in and ordered (2) 3-piece fish meals, 1 with house made chips and 1 with fries. To begin with, I felt genuinely welcomed by the lady working the order window. Prices seemed fair. The wait time was very reasonable. We enjoyed every bit of both meals. Great tasting fish and light batter. The fresh chips are a nice change of pace. Liked the tarter sauce and coleslaw too. Will be back within the week! read more

I started trying different seafood items a few months ago, and it's all good, fresh if breaded, lightly so. The Captain and his daughter, Sheila, are friendly and accommodating to small special requests. They also are very efficient and organized. Sheila should market her homemade chowder...it's that good and unique. Next time that's my pick! The only drawbacks are the coleslaw should not be jammed into a sauce size plastic container, and the slaw needs to be bigger chunks. That would be more in line with the quality of the rest of the food. I also wish they would offer 1/2 portions for a lesser price for when you want to order a side item. Limited offerings in sides. Given suggestions, I still think they are worth 5 stars. Check it out. You won't be sorry! Pam read more

It doesn't look like it from the street, but these folks make some excellent gluten free fish and chips! Hard to find for those of us who don't tolerate gluten. Customer service was excellent as well. Small outdoor seating area with heaters, which was an appreciated dining feature. My husband had the clam chowder (thumbs up!), which the cook said is made in small batches throughout the day. Check it out! read more

Really glad my gf picked up dinner from here. I thought the clam chowder was delicious. I am going to have to go back.

Delicious! If you can't make it to the coast, this is your place! Quick service, yummy food.

These ladies were amazing! There was a lady in front of us that was asking for everything but the kitchen sink literally! They were patient and accomodated her difficult request with a smile. Our food came out promptly after we ordered and it all came out nice and hot. The clam chowder soup was packed with clams and flavor plus the portion was huge! My soicy fish sandwich was juicy and i got the house made chips. My girls ordered the homemade heathbar and chocolate cheesecake and it was great. Really hit the spot after a long drive. Mahalo for the great food and service read more
