It came with a very soft roll and crackers. The bread was so nice! The fish burger and mashed potatoes were delishhhhhh! Perfectly cooked fish with a nice toasted bun Not pictured: the peanut butter cheesecake. Get the cheesecake - it's stunning and SO good! This place is pretty affordable and casual - it is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for seafood in the area!

He was right that it wasn't greasy and it didn't taste as though it was all fried in the same fryer but for $25 I would expect more clams. I will say the scallops were perfectly cooked and the clams are steamer clams with the pisser. Tasty though.... Just please add more clams.

Why do seafood shops out here not make an authentic tasty tarter sauce, it's the little things people remember for the extra few hours a week to make it from a good recipe... baffles me I'll try next door IF I ever get back to town

Absolutely the Worst Dining Experience - Poorly Managed and Not Worth the Wait…read more Avoid this place during and after supper time, especially on busy weekends. We arrived at Captain Dan's at 7:28 PM on a hot summer Saturday (July 12,2025) during a local festival. As expected, the place was packed -- a lineup of about 20 people just to get seated on the second floor. We asked if the beer garden served meals and were told yes, so we got a table and waited... and waited... and waited. One waitress kept walking by with drinks, bills, payment machines -- but never once stopped at our table. I tried waving my menu to catch her attention. After 30 minutes, my wife finally got up to speak to her directly, and only then did she come take our order. I asked for the seafood chowder, and my wife ordered the overpriced lobster roll with fries. We received our glass of water fairly quickly -- but that was it. Around 8:00 PM, they put up a sign saying the second floor was closed, but no one warned us about what was coming. We then waited ANOTHER full hour -- until around 9:00 PM -- when a different waiter came to inform me that they had run out of seafood chowder. He asked if I wanted to order something else, but at that point, why bother? It was already late, and I had no intention of sitting around another 30-60 minutes for greasy bar food. They completely wasted our evening. This disaster falls entirely on poor management. It was the middle of July -- a hot Saturday night during festival season -- and yet the place was drastically understaffed. For the beer garden alone, there were about 75 patrons, with only four waiters to serve drinks, take orders, deliver food, and manage the entire first floor inside as well. That's easily another 40-50 people. It was obvious the team was overwhelmed. Rather than plan ahead or manage the chaos, they kept letting people in and seating them on the second floor -- even though the staff and kitchen clearly couldn't keep up. There was no mention of wait times, no communication, and no accountability. If you can't serve your customers, you have to close areas down earlier, not after everyone is already frustrated and hungry. To top it off, the lobster roll was also wrong -- butter only, even though my wife ordered the one with mayonnaise. We've been eating here 3-4 times a season for years. The only time I'd ever consider returning is at lunchtime, when the crowd is smaller -- because it seems like they have the exact same staffing levels at noon as they do on a busy Saturday night. That's just greedy, short-sighted management. Avoid this place unless you enjoy wasting two hours for subpar food and no service.

Staff can be either good at the upper bar or very rude and bad at the lower bar. Not worth your time. But they are one of only two restaurant/bars on the Shediac Wharf so perhaps they don't care about customer satisfaction. Spend your money at Sandbar or somewhere else.

Everything packed to go as well. Would have appreciated a water station too since it's an order and pick up style place with no servers. Overall it was good and nice service (for what they do/ this style) but the lack of flavor and wasteful serving dishes etc brought my score down.
