    I really love the food here as well as the awesome tartar sauce!! They do the old school tartar sauce that's not sweet,ohhh it's so good. The hush puppies are delicious as well and I don't like hush puppies but I do Captain Pete's. Service is always great.

    You have your choice of large or small plates you get a side and also you get your condiments with the plate. There's always plenty of leftovers for the next day for me unless you're an extremely large appetite person I expect you'll have leftovers as well.

    Back in the early 1970's when I was working for Inmont as a Chemist, there was an all you can eat buffet called Ketner's Buffeteria on South Blvd just past Tyvola Road that my coworkers and I would go to. The guy who owned it, if I am not mistaken was the brother of Ralph Ketner, one of the founders of Food Lion. At least once a week, Frog Legs were on the menu, and we would make a bee line over there just to get the Frog Legs. As I recall they were huge, moist and very tender. After a couple of years, they closed, and I've only had Frog Legs a couple of times since then. Trying to find a restaurant I had not been to yet and I found Capt'n Pete's Seafood in Lincolnton. Looking at the online menu and there is was "Fried Frog Legs" so guess what was for lunch today. Drove over and got there around 11:30 am shortly after they opened at 11am. I think we were only the second couple seated when we arrived. It's a very clean and well apportioned restaurant with a nautical theme. Very light and airy. Service is excellent Our server took our drink ordered and gave us our menu's. I was immediately disappointed because the menu that she gave us did not look at all what was online, and Frog Legs were not on the menu. Mention to our server that I was disappointed because they did not have Frog Legs. She immediately volunteered that yes, the did have them so I ordered them along with Fried Okra, complimentary Hush Puppies and Sour Cole Slaw. My wife ordered the large order of Crab Cakes (3) along with Okra as well and the complimentary Hush Puppies. Everything came out promptly and was nice and hot and fresh. The Frog Legs were smaller than what I used to get at Ketner's but very tasty anyway and the fact that there were so many, made up for the smaller size. Susan enjoyed her Crab Cakes as well along with the Fried Okra. All in all, a very pleasant dining experience and I at least, will definitely be back (Susan is not a Seafood Fan). This place is a keeper.

    pick two platter. Baby shrimp, crab cakes and the best onion rings.  It all was really good actually!

    I thought this place was great! Super friendly people and huge portions at a great value. I was super impressed my first visit and will definitely return again.

    I used to love going to Capt'n Pete's when it was in Denver on Highway 150 before being burned to the ground :( I was glad to see them take over the old Japan building in Lincolnton, but visited early on and had a "not great" experience. It was a case of one and done, I never went back. Yesterday the Lincoln County Board of REALTORS held our Board of Directors meeting there, so I had another opportunity to try them and to my surprise it was really great! The restaurant itself is very spacious, The interior was clean and decorations, though sparse, were pleasing. We were given a large table toward the back of the restaurant so that we didn't bother other diners and weren't bothered. The service was top notch. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. She gave us drinks but then left us be to conduct our meeting, checking on us throughout. She took great care of us, even when the meeting ran into busy lunch rush time. I ordered the broiled flounder with a potato and garden salad. The fish was so flavorful and good! I loved it. The baked potato was good and creamy and piping hot. My favorite side was the salad, they make their own dressings! The Thousand Island was tangy and so yummy. I was just really impressed with all aspects of our lunch yesterday. Can't wait to go back!

    My mother's 82nd birthday dinner was done at Captains Pete's her favorite seafood dinner. All was great.

    Seaboy - Mushroom toast

    I rarely write reviews, and I've already written one for Seaboy, but this place deserves another…read more The night started with a complimentary scallop toast: crisp, sesame-crusted, topped with fried garlic and scallions. It was such a thoughtful touch and a perfect start. Next came the mushroom toast, which is one of our all-time favorites. It's rich, savory and earthy, served on perfectly charred bread, and we order it every single time. Then the whole branzino arrived, beautifully charred and topped with fresh herbs and chili, with blistered shishitos and grilled lemon alongside. It was flaky, flavorful and absolutely delicious. As always, the service was top-notch: warm, attentive and never rushed. Seaboy is one of Cornelius's true gems, so whatever you do, don't skip the mushroom toast!

The table was ready and ours for the evening. We were seated on the porch and were very comfortable there. We enjoyed the service from the recommendations to the banter. It really added to the experience. The food was phenomenal. We opted for a few small plates and one entree to share. This allowed room for dessert! Everything on the menu seemed perfectly crafted. Many unexpected dishes that we want to try. We ordered the heirloom tomato dish (a special), the sablefish, the brussel sprouts, and the yellowfin crudo. All of that left room for the deconstructed key lime pie. Delicious. Worth of reservations. Prime times book up and can book up a month out. They have an oyster happy hour, $2 oysters. I am unsure of the details on that. For reference, our meal with drinks was just over $170 for 3 people.

It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.
