Capt'n Jacks Island Grill Review

Great food, coocktails are fantastic and the staff were very friendly.

TRY THE SIGNATURE FISH BOWL! that s it. that s the review.

Another spot that I will definitely come back to!!
We went and grab food and drinks here after we did the go-karts and before we head back to jersey city.

The bartender (sorry I forgot to get her name) was very pleasant, accommodating and will really give you "good vibes". The servers were very polite. All my questions were answered properly (yes I ask so much questions).

So if you want that good vibes, chill ambiance and just sit and sip this is the place to be!

Good food, drink and great Atmosphere up stairs and you can look on to the boardwalk

Crab cakes were a bit burned. Rest of the food was great.

Food is ok but seating on second floor not good all the sun light is in your face,not comfortable at all

Love! Love! This place! Grrreat! Drinks/ Food! Its our go to place every year!

Can't really review this place...it was closed. Google said open til 5PM, but sign says only open Saturday and Sunday. Have to try again on weekend.

Decent food, reasonable prices. Large restaurants with a cheerful casual environment.

Less than average food. Children were served 10-15 minutes after the parents. We finished our plates before we had our beer, so we cancelled the beer. My "medium" tuna steak was well done. Pizza was tasteless. Fried fish was super oily. Definitevely do not recommend. It is a shame, as its terrasse and its location is very appealing.

Some stuff was pretty good but the crab cake was not good at all.

Attractive place with kind staff but on the pricey side. Friend asked for a burger medium rare and the waitress said they only come well done. Does that mean they make them frozen...?

Had a House salad with a crab cake on it. Delicious!

Let's just say this. if you come here and expect their food to be amazing, don't come here. I had got the chicken and it was dry and warm. i could tell it had been sitting for a little while. thats probably why our food came out so fast. but it did taste pretty good. also the staff are really nice. we were in the sun and we had asked if we could get a different table, and they got us a new table instantly. The place also looks good to, if your on the top floor you have a good view of the ocean. but the chairs could be a little better. in my opinion, i probably wouldn't come here again.

When I went here on Vacation I ordered a hot dog but waited around 20 minutes with no food and when I got my food I regreted coming I liked the design of the place but that was all so I would not come here I would just admire it

Terrible experience!! The appetizers were ok. An employee cleaning the tables dropped a glass of water all over my back. He did apologize and I understand accidents happen. They bought me the wrong sandwich not once but twice. By the time I received my sandwich my sons were done eating. Not even a offer to comp the sandwich or at least one of the appetizers. I left wet and disappointed.

What can I say about this place, they have a friendly staff which do they job very well. and the food taste very good, they bring it out very fast good drinks to.

Very good food, pretty good service, weird drink cups but thats about it. Everything was very good though, and the atmosphere was great.

Horrible food nachos look like someone has vomited on them. Frozen and deep fried horrible. Feel bad for the waittress that has to serve it

Good selection of beer. Food was quite nice. However, took a long time to come out and the appetizers arrived with the entrees. Had a good singer as a live act but couldn't hear her over the TV.

food is very generic but still good... BUT the servers (atleast ours) sabrina AMAZING .if every server had her attitude her personality and her desire to make her guest enjoy their meal the world would be a better place.. I will be sure to inform the manager of her outstanding job.

It's a nice spot for viewing the weekly . The food was so-so. The garden salad had no actual greens, it was all ceaser and the margarita pizza was basically just a normal pizza. Good beer selection and mixed drink options.

Food is overpriced for the quality. Definitely better than some of the greasier options on the boardwalk, but still pretty average food. The server that we got was not very good either. She only checked in on us once outside of bringing things to the table. We had to flag down other servers to get drink refills, condiments, extra napkins, etc. I don't think we'll be going back.

Not great but not bad.
Food is just ok.

Staff was more interested in taking with their co- workers then doing their job. Too bad, great location & view but service sucked!

Good Spot that provides good views, good drinks and good food. With that said they need to get rid of the Mac n Cheese on the Menu. Not good at all so dont order it. The Pina Cola drink was amazing. So Good. The rest of the food was average. Service was good. Wasnt aweful, wasn't great. Was a good experience and I would go back again.

The fish bowls were amazing!! And we loved the crab dip and buffalo spring rolls!!

They food in drinks are all that in the waiter was very nice

Dont get the mac n cheese, ours was cold, noodle were not cooked, only ate a few bites, but still had to pay a lot for nothing. Cost alt and and DID N OK T TASTE GOOD :(

Great staff, great food , great spirits. Absolutely recommend to anyone.!

This is a very chill place with decent food and cool drinks. If you are on the boardwalk and hungry then I recommend checking this spot out.

A nice restaurant on the boardwalk. An inviting atmosphere. It gets crowded, so get there early.

Ordered one of the chicken sandwiches they sell and it was very dry. The Caribbean egg roll appetizer was really good though! Atmosphere and service was also great.

The food was OK nothing special. It was expensive but I guess you expect that on the Broadway.

Ask for the second floor balcony overlooking the beach. the atmosphere is very pleasant, attentive wait staff and family friendly

Great food, Great Prices, Great Beer Selections, Very Clean Inside & Outside & staff always nice & treats you like family.

Food was decent but drinks are very overpriced and they don't put any liquor in their mixed drinks

Way to expensive 6.50 for a bottle of twisted tea nuts

We went last night no one entertained us until we left. Maybe they think we don't have money to pay!!!! Very poor service.

Went this Sunday afternoon for lunch. Well, tried to anyway. We were sat right away in an empty bar area upstairs with maybe 2 other couples in the room. We were ignored by at least 7-10 staff members just doing nothing, not even cleaning or doing a visible task. One waitress even continually made eye contact with us but didn t come over or get anyone. These weren t the college kid summer employees either. After about 15-20 minutes we decided to just leave. I don t think anyone even noticed. At least we got to use their bathroom!

Glad we saved ourselves from a an easy $45+ (before tip) bill for lunch. We went to the gyro place across the boardwalk and split a huge platter for $15 out the door.

So I wandered into this bar on the Sunday before Columbus Day and they said all beers were $3 because it was their closing day. And I was happy.

There are TONS of great places to eat at the Jersey Shore. This place IS NOT one of them. We asked to sit inside, assuming it would be cooler than outside. We were seated upstairs and it was hot! Looked through the menu and decided on drinks. No waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on an appetizer. Still no waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on our entres. Still no waitress. After about 15 minutes (and that's a long time to wait to place a drink order) we went downstairs and out to the bar area outside. It was cooler out there. The waitress actually showed up. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian. Tasty drink but not strong. Since I didn't catch a buzz off the first, I begrudgingly (and I say that because of the price) ordered a second. Still no buzz. My husband had 2 CoronaRitas and was very happy with them. We ordered the buffalo chicken nachos. There was no kick to the buffalo sauce. Absolutely lousy. My husband got the Mediterranean salad and was pleased (not too hard to mess that one up). My son got the 5 mile panini and said it was good. I got the blackened tuna (it's a sandwich with a tuna steak). The tuna was WAY over cooked. The menu said cooked to medium, which is even too well done for tuna in my opinion. It was not cooked to medium. It was cooked to well. Yuck! Tuna should be medium rare (or rare! Yum!! Sashimi!). It was SO overly seasoned with Okd Bay that I had to scrape off the back of the steak just to eat it, which I could barely manage. Our meals came with crinkle fries that were more bland than fries that come with school lunch. Then the bill. 4 drinks, 1 app, 3 sandwiches came to a whopping $109! I don't mind paying good money for a great meal, or even a good meal but I was so disappointed that I regretted not stopping for a $1 slice of pizza a couple blocks down (it's actually really good). Horrible service (inside anyway), lousy food, and WAY overpriced.

Food was good service was lacking! Pretty sure because we were a party of 8 they weren't too attentive to us due to they were automatically getting an 18% tip.

The best place I eat at on the boardwalk. Excellent service on a busy day, delicious food, and the menu is fun. The perfect amount of variety for food and drinks. I recommend eating upstairs on the deck outside. Decent view of the beach/pier.

Food was good service was lacking,prices are reasonable. We got there sat down and asked for recommendations for alcoholic beverages waitress gave us one but forgot to mention that there was a drink menu we practically had to pry it off her hand(we're a 40+ couple) she looked overwhelmed so there was long gaps between her checking on us. This place is better than most places on the boardwalk just don't expect personable servers they just do their jobs. I hope this helps :) BTW definitely ask for the drink menu they have some good drinks well mixed.

Awesome food and drinks! Great view of the beach and boardwalk at sunset. Never had a bad meal yet. Jerk chicken wings, pressed Cuban and jerk chicken wrap are my top favs. Wish they had more locations close to home.

So we went there and my brother and sister got sick. Come on make the food better

I walked out after being ignored by the wait staff. Too bad. .. the fish taco looK pretty good. We'll never know.

great atmosphere and good selections of beverages and food, but service from the bartenders and waitresses was TERRIBLE. they serve you when you first get there then they dont check on you until you have to yell at them to get their attention. Waited for over 30 minutes to get a refill on a soda at the bar. The bartender either stays in the corner or just walks right past you. The first time the bartender was on her phone the whole time. Tried the place again and a different bartender is the same way. Not a very friendly or good staff.

Great location.. Awesome drinks. Pleasantly surprised that the bar food was actually very good. We ended up going 3 times during our vacation.

Decent food, quick service. Charge 2.5% if you use credit card. Quite dirty washrooms and tables. Menu was dirty and smudged and the bill jacket was very dirty. If you are vulnerable and get infections I wouldn t recommend this place.

Went here for a little rest and drinks, plus my wife had to drop a deuce. The chairs were good, nice and sturdy and the ice was slippery and cold. The napkins they use were kind of cheap but they were absorbent so I can't complain. The service was okay. Our party of 5 had a good experience. We paid in cash and left a decent tip. I had nachos at a place down the boardwalk. They were cheesey. I would go back.
