We walked in and sat our self right away per the sign. Plenty of open spots when we went on a Monday around 2:30pm. Our server was very nice. Food was good. In pictures is the cream of crab soup (was thicker then I expected it to be but flavor was good) and 2 plates Captain John’s seafood platter (one with the original crab cake, other with the premium crab cake- both good but personally I like the premium better. Less filling). Was a little too chilly to sit outside with the wind but still had a beautiful view of the water. Inside looks a bit outdated/rundown but was clean which is more important to me.

We ordered Large Maryland Blue Crabs. It was really very good. They set up the table just perfect for the crab. Crab deep was fantastic. We returned Mozzarella Sticks cause it didn't taste fresh, not even hot. The waterfront location was beautiful. Though we didn't sit outside, we could still enjoy the water. The server lady was sweet.

I went to capt Johns on 8-16-25, got a bushel of #1 crabs to go, i drove about hour and half coming from richmond, it was well worth the drive, the crabs was huge and meaty and seasoned perfect, i will never buy crabs in virginia ever again, no comparison, thanks so much Capt Johns, we are going back in about 3 weeks to eat in, about 25 of us are going, i done already spread the word on this wonderful restaurant! If you want big meaty crabs, this is the place to go,also beautiful view on the water.

My first time visiting this spot. Definitely a good long drive to the country but worth it. The restaurant sits right on the water. The service was great from start to finish very friendly and welcoming staff. Good music playing throughout restaurant. Indoor/outdoor seating. Food and drinks came pretty quickly. The drinks we got were tasty and strong! Plenty of different food options on the menu. We'll definitely be back. I definitely recommend you check this place out especially if you want to get away from the craziness of the usual city vibe.

In the area for work and this place was recommended and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and being on the water with fabulous weather you can’t beat. The service wasn’t terrible but it was slow and the three I dealt with were not very engaging or have an inviting countenance about them.
