My friend too me here. Unfortunately, we were in a hurry so we tried to order ahead for pickup. We were told we had to come in person to order a take out! That was disappointing. She swore I would like the food so we went anyways. Long story short, the only thing I really enjoyed was the fries. I've tried them from many restaurants and theirs was good. And my friend wasn't as impressed as she was her first time read more

Our order: bacon wrapped scallops, seafood chowder, lobster roll, steamed mussels Oh my word. The seafood chowder is as advertised - the best! Creamy and filled to the brim with fruits of the sea. Just when I thought there had to be potatoes in my spoon, my mouth was met with scallops on scallops on scallops. I love the way the restaurant prepared their lobster, minimally, as to preserve the natural texture and flavor of the ocean. The fries are made from locally grown potatoes, fried to crisp on the outside, starchy and squishy on the inside. The bacon tightly wrapped around the scallops, adding a sweet and salty note to a soft pillow. The mussels were bouncy meaty but was paired with a white wine sauce infused with an herb that we were not fans of (perhaps tarragon?). The 15-20min wait was well worth the meal. The bustling environment was telling of its popularity among locals and tourists. Takeout available and it also sells and packages freshly captured seafood to go. read more

Our party of 6 felt like fish and seafood last night, and wanted something we haven't tried yet - and no chain stores. This place hit the spot! You can tell it's good because it's so popular. They don't take reservations, and we had to wait an hour for the table. By the time we got our table, it was less than half an hour till closing time, and they had run out of the chowder. Service was pleasant, although they were tired from a full and busy day. On top of this, our visit ran nearly an hour and a half past closing time!. Since they were out of chowder (I really wanted lobster!), I ordered fish tacos. They were good, but the Cole slaw was great! I would definitely go back. read more

Skipper Jacks - Bacon wrapped scallops. - Seafood Near Me - Moncton, New Brunswick

I flew in to see my sister and planned to have a lobster feast with her. We read very highly rated reviews of Skipper Jacks before making our choice. We ordered the lobster dinner and the server checked on the price to inform us it had increased from $45 to $62 pp but we looked forward to the best that the Maritimes offers (as per reviews). Honestly, it was the worst lobster meal I have ever had. The lobster was not hot and steamy, the meat was dull and slimy and mushy, and the meal was tasteless. I asked the server if this was "fresh" to which she informed us, it was. Well, after having many, many lobster dinners in my life, this was clearly a fabrication. $200 later, my sister and I will never return to this restaurant. Overpriced, and poor quality food. read more

skippers closes at 8:00 pm. we arrived at 7:30pm and was told the kitchen was closed because they got busy earlier in the day. Not a good way to get new customers. I would not recommend going here at all. seems very hit or miss according to the reviews read more

Went there for dinner 30 min before closing and was told they would not seat us. Unacceptable. Will never return. It also smelled of fish really bad when we walked in. Probably a good thing we were turned away. read more

Very disappointed that we were adived there was no lobster for dinner. We were advised if we ordered a 2.5lb lobster it woukd be around $75.00 but market price is for $15.99/lb. Im not a mathematician but those numbers do not add. The server was wonderful. The owner Irene was not able to answer any of the questions. We certainly not be returning. read more

Everything great - the food, the service, friendliness of the whole staff. Very generous portions!

Wow! The seafood chowder is to die for. It's loaded with seafood. No potatoes! Each bite is more flavourful than the last. It's not cheap but it is so worth it! The service was good - friendly and fast. We loved it so much that we stopped here twice during our 10 day trip to the Maritimes. read more

I had lunch at Skipper Jack's and ordered the seafood chowder. Unfortunately, it was loaded with the tough side muscles of scallops -- the side muscles that are removed and discarded when cooking scallops. Someone apparently thought they could throw them in the seafood chowder. They are so tough as to be practically inedible. I had to pick them out. Any place that doesn't know not to do this is a place I wouldn't trust to cook anything else for me! Highly recommend you go somewhere else. read more

So this is a no frills restaurant. Absolutely no ambiance on the inside. Looks like a converted Denny's (it could have been a converted Denny's for all I know) Basic dinner food. Server was sweet and prompt. Good batter on the fish and calamari. Chowder was stick to your ribs. Kiddo loved her kids meal and it was made with care. Good for price point. read more

waiting time is over 2 hours. food is good but the service is terrible. the staff doesn't care when you ask how much longer. after waiting 1 hours and 40 mins to be served one of the owners says "you can cancel the order" this shows ZERO customer care. very rude. Third time here and is always about the same read more

Service was a bit slow but it was packed. Noon lunch crowd. I had the Ship Ahoy seafood platter and it was delicious. Not greasy or overcooked. Highly recommend SkipperJacks. Five stars! read more

Good food and was done to perfection. Had trouble finding a parking spot, but it was so worth it. They came and got my order right away and I ordered a Lobster roll to so. Nice small place, but gives you personal attention. Love it!! read more

Fish may as well be pancakes the fries and Servace were good but horrible sauce on the fish tacos price is not worth it would be 1 star if not for the fries. read more

My wife and i went to skipper jacks for quite a few years and was always satisfied, our recent trips have not been good, fries and clams over cooked, onion rings were hard as rock and waitress was not pleasant at all, hopefully these issues are remedied or we will not be returning. It was nice having a good seafood restaurant in Moncton, We will now be heading back to the sea shore for our sea food. read more

The food was delicious but the service sucks. I will never dine in again, but would consider take out and eat at home where the service is better. read more

Excellent seafood and a reasonable price! Every dish is mouth watering as seen by the happy diners.

We just called for over an hour just to get call answered.... 15 calls later... To be put on hold for 20 minutes, then hung up on before even getting to place an order!! We called several times after. Not impressed at all. read more

We were at this place for dinner tonight. Me Wife and our son. Nice place but, do not switch anything that you order in the menu. As soon as you start switching (i.e if you do not want french fries and switch to salad) they start charging you. read more

Having visited here several times, I can honestly say, their food, quality, and service are super! They deserve many stars!

Doesn't look like much and isn't much. They have a hard time completing the most basic of orders or being even the slightest bit accommodative. You ask for the simplest of requests and nope! It's impossible! 'Management doesn't allow it.' I don't know if it's management or if it's just the staff who are lazy. Garbage customer service. Every time I went there's always something small and simple that they've DONE before- it's so basic, but now can't be bothered and will give you a bitchy tone while they're sitting in their asses as they refuse the sale. With so many rules it's amazing they can serve anyone. Lost my patronage and support as a recommendation for their pure lack of willingness to do generic, basic itty bitty things like putting certain items on the side. You'll get better service litterally anywhere else. read more

Food is delicious! Staff are friendly, portions are huge! This is a must if you're in Moncton.

Extensive menu with excellent dishes - our scallop & shrimp linguini was delicious. The staff was friendly & fun to talk to. We highly recommend Skipper's Jack! read more

Just stopped for lunch at Skipper Jacks and will definitely go back. Food was very good, ambiance was nice, clean and comfortable but most notably the service exemplary. Delivery was quick and the waitresses were so friendly, efficient and cheery - something severely lacking in many restaurants these days. Great lunch! read more

Amazing lobster rolls....my go to here but the fish and chips and seafood chowder are also family favourites.

This is my favourite restaurant in Moncton and possibly all of the province. It's a nice casual place to stop in for a beer and eat something awesome. It's not a place you'd go if you were watching your weight but whatever.. The service is good, the food is excellant every time and the place is clean. The seafood is fresh, locally sourced and everything around it is delicious. My girlfriend orders different things every time we go - I stick to the seafood platter. read more

I go every Mother's Day yes I know it's busy witch I know it before going!!! But the service is always great keep up the good work

If you don't care that none of the wait staff, cooks or about half of the customers care to wear a mask, then the food is pretty good

We stopped for lunch at Skipper Jack's which is a seafood restaurant and bar located on Mapleton Rd adjacent to Montana's Cookhouse, just south of NB Route 15 Exit 6. The menu offerings are mostly seafood dishes as well as chicken, steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. Beer and wine available. A kids menu and specials are also offered. The prices are moderate, most seafood dishes $9.99-$22.99, a few dishes with lobster $29.49-$29.99. See the menus at http://www.skipperjacks.com/html/menu_overview.html The carpeted dining room is casual and comfortable with booths and tables with wooden chairs, the walls painted orange and olive green with framed paintings of boats on the wall. For lunch, the Lunch Fisherman's Plate ($9.99) had 2 jumbo shrimp (very crispy outside and juicy inside), 2 breaded scallops (hot & moist inside), 1 crispy fried haddock (a bit greasy) and one sider (chose the Greek salad-fresh romaine lettuce, tomato, red pepper, red onion, Greek olives, feta cheese, & an oil based Greek dressing). Also, The Wally Haddock ($12.99) were 2 pieces of pan seared haddock with a crispy coating of crushed walnuts with lettuce, cucumber, tomato garnish and served with one side (baked potato with butter & sour cream was chosen). The sides of tartar sauce, butter, and sour cream came in very small paper cups (similar to McDonald's dipping cups for ketchup), could've use a bit more. We passed on dessert and settled up on the check. The pace of the service was relaxed and the food took a while to be served, even in a quiet not so busy dining room. The food we ordered was very good. The Wally Haddock was very enjoyable since it was not deep fried and had a good crunch on the outside. The portions were modest, but just right for lunch. read more

Very friendly staff. My first time in New Brunswick and I wanted to try out the fried clams. Was great- like calamari but less chewy. i recommend the seafood platter, be wary that it is a giant portion. We ordered 2 of them and it fed 4 of us. Was a good purchase. Thank you Moncton for the hospitality. read more

Wow...we spent a few days in Moncton and are SO happy we found Skipper Jacks! Everything we tried was delicious, the service was friendly and warm, and did I mention the seafood chowder? Amazing. Our favorite dishes were: the aforementioned seafood chowder, the lobster roll, and the Ancient Mariner salad (the scallops were phenomenal)! We'll definitely come back to NB, and when we do, we'll definitely be back to Skipper Jacks. read more

Just had the seafood platter for lunch. Fresh cut fries and seafood done to perfection. Fast service and a nice ambiance. Reasonable prices as well. Would recommend it to a friend. read more
