Ok Cap' Ron's is BACK! And it's better than ever! I am so happy the smoke smell is GONE! They still have some more clean up to do, per the bartender. However, the food was amazing, the drinks were too. Everyone working was friendly and inviting. Everything was great except for some older customers oogling a young server. He told a older manager looking man that he would come more often if the staff looked more like the young girl. The manager replied with, and that's why I didn't hire anymore. read more

It's kinda a weird vibe in here, although I came with some of a softball team on a Sunday afternoon post games. You have to order at the bar for food & drinks and they bring it out to you. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the oscillating fans that misted water. We did not enjoy the extremely LOUD music that was playing, even outside. It was a bit much. The food was good, bar service was good, and we MAY come here again. I think it needs a thorough clean up and maybe is more of a bar/club/nightlife type of feel- it has that icky, sticky sort of feeling to it. Just kinda rundown. The food was good though, so it kinda balanced out, I guess. I'll come back if a group of my friends are, but most likely not on my own. read more

Ron's has been sold and is permanently closed. Unfortunately if you did not get a chance to visit this restaurant, you will not be able to. Hopefully they will turn it into another restaurant and not a parking lot or apartment complex. read more

Absolutely hands down worst experience! The food was disgusting no flavor at all! The crab mad was more like a soup oozing heavy cream w again no flavor def waste of money! The customer service is also 0/10 they charged us full price for everyone even though we didn't touch our food. Clearly they do not care for customer service and seem to cater to their regulars Service was horrible as was the food def will not return or recommend read more

The building/ restaurant made no sense. We saw the menu online and wanted to get food. There's a sticker saying 21+ on the door but when you go in it's like a full restaurant. We aren't 21 yet there was no bouncer to kick us out, no employees anywhere. Not sure if it's a gay bar? read more

Lots of changes with management recently but overall their service hasn't changed and food is still reasonably priced and they give hefty servings. And it's soooo good! read more

Been coming here for about a year now. It is really big inside! The servers are kind and to everyone. Sadly, I heard it will be closing soon due to an unfortunate familial situation the owner is going through. I'm glad I've gotten to experience this place over the last year and change read more

This establishment can be easily missed if you're not paying attention. The parking here can also be kind of tricky but all in all a very chill spot. If your looking for that after work drink and a quick bite before going home, this is a good spot. The drinks are inexpensive and the food is great. Haven't been here on the weekends but it appears that they have an area for live music which is pretty cool too. read more

Services amazing! Drinks great! Food fantastic! However a man came up to my friends and I asking for feet pictures. We declined him and told him no thank you we do not want to do that. When he came back over and tried to wrap his arm around my friend, I told him he was making us uncomfortable and needed to leave. He then began to get very aggressive with us, another man who came to our aid, and several other people around us. When we told the bouncer and manager about this the manager proceeds to have a drink with the man and have a friendly conversation. We were completely written off and treated as if we were the problem. Horrible experience because of this manager and this man, expected more! read more

When I called he said, "thanks for bothering me. How may I help you?" If that doesn't say anything idk what will. My wife and I went there and the guy working seemed drunk and they only had a limited menu because it is Thanksgiving...say that on the phone next time. read more

Arrived at 1230 place was happening. Ordered tuna melt claimed it's a fan late night favorite. Cold tuna, cold ff, cheese wasn't melted, bread not even grilled. Said it was a hot tuna melt. Crab dip chips were great dip was cold not hot. Maybe the gas was off. read more

I like this little spot! The drinks are cheap and the White folks are friendly! There's two full bars with plenty of seating. Service was quick and efficient. I wish I'd gotten the bartenders name because she made my tequila sunrise fantastically! It's located just down the street from my house so I want to start coming more often and meeting the locals. Another go to I can add to my list! read more

We tried to come gor lunch/brunch on Sunday. There was not a waitress. Only a bartender and a cook. How were we to order or receive our food. read more

Terrible experience. Ate the take out we picked up after having to navigate our way through and drunken crowd. Immediately got sick. Over priced for two entrees. read more

Did not look like much from the outside, but you can't judge a book from it's cover. We went inside anyway. Friendly prompt service, and hands down the BEST burger I've ever eaten. Prices were reasonable too. I would definitely eat here again! read more

Norfolk, Virginia (Oceanview) --- "Cap'n Ron's" (aka "Harry's") appears to be a nice local hangout ... Originally "Harry's" (the dad) & now "Cap'n Ron's" (the son) ... Ron keeps his dad's name on the bar out of respect the horseshoe bar is a nice interaction bar of locals ... "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! Day 041 "666 Bars of 2017" / bar 081 02.10.17 read more

I went on a Saturday night. Pretty interesting place. Lived in Oceanview for a year and finally decided to pull the trigger and go for some football because I didn't want to drive anywhere. It's not a bad sports bar. Four TVs line a wall above a pool table and provide ideal coverage for a couple games. Around about 9:00 pm, it turns into a more of a lower quality club. Definitely wouldn't recommend hanging around if you're trying to watch the late games. Down sides to the place are poor lighting, smokey atmosphere, and club after 9:00 pm. Up sides are cheap and pretty good food and beer, quiet and good for games until the club. read more

My husband and I were on a little vacation and decided to come here for lunch. The food was good. Fries were great. The bartender forgot to put our appetizer in and my sandwich came out wrong but overall the food was good. The regulars who were there were very obnoxious and loud. read more

I came here after seeing other reviews of this place. I agree with the other reviews and some aspects but not others. I'm not much of a burger guy but I have to admit the burger here was excellent. But in other ways I'm a little disappointed. The location does not offer much, and the interior leaves a lot to be desired. It's not quite a dive bar but it's close. The outdoor area is spacious but it's basically in a parking lot, and this is not the type of place I would bring my kids. The restrooms were disgusting and when you walk by the outdoor area all you can smell is pot. I'll leave it up to you to decide how you like the place. read more

This is my go to place! The food is yummy, the waitresses are amazing! Whitney is the glue that holds the place together. It's always a a good time! Karaoke is fun, the bands are good! read more

Honestly, I love this place. It's Oceanview's answer to the hit 80's show cheers because everyone will eventually know your name. The owner, well his son? Gets a bad rap, but meeting him and being an entrepreneur, I get his gruff, but welcoming demeanor. Even on a bad night, he will still stop and shake your hand. Being that I was treated horrible at greenies, being here lets me know that there is a place in Oceanview that is actually concerned about your business. Good bartenders Good waitstaff Good security. I like it here. read more

their food is trash, beef not cooked, the service was ok but in my life I will never go back

Cap'n rons is a relaxed spacious sports bar with pool tables, darts, small dance floor, and tvs. The old bay wings are worth coming back for! Waitresses were very tentative and friendly. Only issue I noticed was the occasional smoke smell because I have a sensitive nose. I'd definitely come back. read more

Horrible service. Security said low-key homophobic slurs to my friend so we had to leave. The place smells like puke and piss. I asked a question about hours and the security guard tells us that we're bugging him with questions. Awful place and I'll ne we be back. I can't wait until this piss poor place closes. read more

Great service, I love Meredith and Katie they are the best. The drinks are good and strong and they have great specials on Wednesday! The place is pretty clean a nice dive bar. The only thing I didn't like was the smoke! Other than that I'll be definitely coming back on Wednesday read more

I've been here about five times. To keep it short, their bartenders are rude and inattentive. Their food specials have always been DELISH and fresh, especially for their dive-y vibe. They often have live music on the weekends. And I've only had an issue with another customer once, and the ever so kind bouncer was quick to escort him out. read more

Not a family friendly place to take young children. It was loud and around pool tables and bars. Food was overpriced for the amount they gave. It was hard to find the entrance to the place. Took a while to even get service. Wouldn't reccomend this place unless your going out with your buddies to drink and shoot pool. If your looking for a family restaurant with good oysters at a decent price for the amount of food, I can give a better reccomendation. read more

This is a Sports Bar and the person that checked ID's tonight on April 8th, 2016 refused to let me in because of athletic gear. I have been here multiple times and he just pushed me and my out of town guess back out the door. Was one of my favorite local spots. read more

Been going there since I was young early 20s and I only drink and I did not eat. Now I am older I have tried their food which is absolutely awesome! I totally recommend going there prices are reasonable food is out of this world. read more

Not a kid friendly place - but lots of tvs and pool tables. Definitely a locals bar but the service was friendly and the food was ok. read more

Cheap good food, great service! Seating was comfortable. Plus, if you're a smoker (I'm not, but I don't mind those that do smoke), you can smoke in the dining room! I didn't think such places existed around here anymore! Looks like the perfect place to bring some friends (if they don't mind the smell of cigarette smoke), have a beer and play some pool or watch tv. Their wings are cheap and delicious! And the waitress made sure we had everything we needed, even though she seemed to be the only one on duty and appeared to be a bit overwhelmed. (It was a busy night.) I will come here again. read more

I have only been in here during the day, as a karaoke host I tend to avoid karaoke at night unless I'm hosting it (this isn't a bar I work so....) and not really a fan of live cover bands so I'm strictly a daytime kinda guy for this place. As a gay man, walking into a place like this with my husband I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasently surprised with how welcoming both the regulars and mid day staff was. Also, musically it was a good mix of modern and classics across several genres to appeal to a diverse crowd. The food was ok. I honestly can't say it was great, but it was good enough that given how we were treated, the nearness to my house, and the very reasonable prices I would eat here again. read more

This is my favorite DIVE BAR, they always got karaoke going on here, the food is fair priced and good to eat there are a handful of usuals. It's close to home and drinks are fairly priced, you get your best bang for your buck with the mixed drinks I'm definitely recommending this to my squad read more

Do not go if you expect any precaution for the pandemic. Not one mask seen while picking up our order.

Great hometown bar/restaurant! Good food, good patrons, good bands. Brandy is my favorite bartender. Super sweet, remembers your preferences, and takes good care of you. They do smoke inside, so if you can't deal with that order your food to go and enjoy at home. This is my go-to regular place and always will be! read more

Uhm spent $36 dollars on food that was described as "GIANT". I received 4 tiny mushrooms and 5 VERY TINY scallops. The food was cold and did not taste right. Way too over priced for the food I received. I feel bad even giving it 1 star. read more
