Refreshing margaritas. Already looking forward to summer to enjoy the view in good weather--the sun felt so good. The food smelled amazing, margs were refreshing, and the bartenders were on top of it. Such a fun, happy vibe... honestly makes me want to work there seasonally. Great summer spot. read more

Captain Al's Restaurant & Tiki Bar - Refreshing Margaritas - Tiki Bars Near Me - Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts

Tiki Bar area was pretty cool looking. View of the piers and boats was equally impressive and gave a distinct feeling given the name of the establishment. Was a little frustrated by the bartender complaining about a restaurant she has the night prior for botching her order. Which brings me to the next lines. I ordered a BLT, white bread, and onion rings. Promptly, I was presented with a BLT, on wheat bread, and fries. "Oh how the turn tables..." immediately came to mind. I 100% would have sent it back but it was a quick in and out due to time constraints. I'll probably go again if I'm in Buzzards Bay, but we shall see. read more

This restaurant is all about location, location, location. Ordered a lobster bisque that was very bland. Tasted more like tomato soup. Service was extremely slow. And if you like being attacked by fruit flies this is your place. Considering how awful the soup was and the fruit flies. I can't imagine they clean their draft lines either. Mixed drinks looked great. To me this place is definitely a cocktail enjoy the view spot. Not a food and draft beer joint. read more

I don't even live in the state of Massachusetts, in fact all the way across the country and when I am back home and Captain Al's is open for the season, it's a must visit spot for me. I discovered it when I was home unexpectedly in the Summer at my dad's and looking for a bar by the water. This definitely ticked that mark. I've made sure to come back whenever I am able! I recall enjoying the seafood dishes I've tried. The vibe is really what brings me back though. See you soon, Captain! read more

What a hidden gem. Parking here is an adventure- it's located in a marina- and folks park along the edges of the lot. The inside has maybe 4 tables and a small bar. Don't come here to eat inside. The outside had plenty of tables, many with umbrellas- a covered area with a large bar (this is where we sat). Surprisingly busy for 3:30 in the afternoon. He had the lobster rolls and I had the fish tacos. Both came out hot and good. Onion rings were very good. Drinks were on point. Bartender Josh was amazing. Wonderful views and cool vibe. Defiantly an older crowd which is our thing. They have entertainment so we will be back to check that out. read more

True Score: 3.5 Stars We have experienced this place several times while visiting Cape Cod. The outside dining is picturesque and the service is good. The food is better than most but could use some updating of the menu. Drinks are plentiful and the service and weekend entertainment is good. Outside are tables both regular height and some high stool/tables which we tried. It was a hot day and everyone tried to locate at a shady table. The menu was tensile with lots of seafood and other popular meals. As for the food, the onion rings were greasy. The Hawaiian chicken was a bit dry. The rice didn't seem like it was jasmine rice. The prices are a bit high too, but you pay for the scenery not for top notch food. Overall, this is fun place, more for regulars, but we'll be back if we are around Buzzard's Bay. Thanks read more

Great place. Beautiful upgrade to decks!! Now if parking was easier. New lots helps. Ok on a weekday. Weekends...forget it.

Seriously good food! Enjoyed my fish sandwich, it was perfect! My husband enjoyed his meal too a quesadilla! The drinks were good. Service was okay. I like the server to introduce themselves and check back without being waved down, but she was pleasant enough. The view is wonderful and very relaxing! Would definitely return to try more of the menu choices! read more

Met up with friends for dinner this week. Finally ate the steamahs I wanted. everyone in the party enjoyed their meal. view on the deck is great. Sun setting was a bit much for those facing it, but didn't last long. Will definitely return! read more

Spoiler alert: This place is NOT tiki by any means. They have (some) of the standard tiki drinks. That's all. The food was tasty. I had the boneless chicken tenders with BBQ sauce and Brad had fish tacos. Our waitress was nice and attentive. They have a great indoor and outdoor area that overlooks the water. read more

In everyway capt Al's is wonderful . The service, the views, the cost were all great. The Food was very good too!! The only issue I had was the parking lot. read more

The prices are crazy high. The portions are so small. The quality isn't what it used to be ...why? It used to be a great place , I will never recommend it. Someone is killing the business read more

Went to Captain Al's today to celebrate my wife's birthday. We where promptly seated and given menus. Then the wait began, we sat for over 25 minutes without a sever approaching us. I asked the busboy to send our server over and he apologized for the delay and went to get a server. Another 5 minutes passed, and I asked the hostess for a servlet. After a couple of minutes still no result!s. Called it quits. Not recommended read more

The food offerings are boring and the food served by is also boring. This place is for old people.

I have always loved Captain Al's. Today I wanted steamers so we asked for 2 lbs to share between 4 of us. it came out in one bowl and we were told it was all 2 lbs. Mind you it's $31.95/lb. The size of the bowl was that of 1lb. We questioned it but was told it was 2lbs. So we eat the sandiest clams I've ever had. That's not like Captain Al's. Also, we each got abour 6 clams each. So if you do the math, that's $10 a clam. That's outrageous. I asked to speak to someone and nobody ever came. And besides that, clams are no more than $10/lb in the store. To mark them up $20 more a lb is robbery. Very dissapoointed. read more

Man, they ain't foolin with these drinks. Nice view. Buttermilk Bay. I love me some Captain Al's.

Went to Captain Al's for dinner on May 26th, 2024, where we met the rudest hostess we've ever encountered. She was young, with dark hair and glasses. We requested a table for 7. An hour later, she seated another group ahead of us. When we asked what was going on, the hostess told us we never asked for seating and after we said we did ask her for seating, proceeded to tell us that wasn't true. I've never experienced a restaurant employee be so rude to customers when it was clear to everyone in our party that she messed up. This went on for 15 minutes. The bottom line is the managers shouldn't have their staff telling their customers they are wrong over something their staff messed up. We went to Stonebridge Bar and Grill. The staff there were great. We spend our summers in Wareham and haven't been back to Captain Al's, thanks to that rude hostess. read more

Takes over 30 minutes for a table for two, when I see plenty of open tables. Hostess has NO idea what's she is doing!! read more

Love this local, casual place. Great drinks, seafood and live music. Enjoying time with family on vacation read more

Never had a bad meal or drink here. Everything is delicious and wonderful. I recommend Captain Al's to all those I meet that are new to the area. They can also accommodate parties of all sizes. We love this place! read more

Our server, Riley was great and the drinks were strong. The food was TERRIBLE, 4 scallops, 5 fried Clams and a salad $30.00, scallops were cold and the clams literally tasted like sewerage, I spit it out.. so sad, used to be a decent, never going back! read more

Disappointed. Last year we would come specifically to get the "seahogs". They were filled with seafood, done perfectly and very tasty. Went today, mother's day and it was overcooked, tasteless and very little seafood. I understand, economics might cause a SMALL decrease in the filling but this was terrible. The service, as always, was pleasant and timely even considering the holiday. The place is always noisy but it is to be expected considering it's popularity. read more

I CANNOT believe I waited this long to review this place! It is probably my FAVORITE place to eat in the summer time! My bf asked me recently, while we were there, if it was my favorite restaurant and after some quick thinking I answered "yes!". He asked why... I said "Because it's checks everything off my list! Great staff, great view, great drinks AND food!" They have one of THE BEST lobster rolls you'll ever have! I'm NEVER disappoint in Captain Al's when I go. read more

This place was great! Sit out on the patio with a view of the bay. Lobster Rangoon was delish and so was the tuna and swordfish and side salads read more

Captain Al's is a home run! The food is DELICIOUS (the fried seafood is the best around), the drinks are terrific and they have lots of options too. The staff is ALWAYS outstanding, fast, hardworking, polite and FUN. The food quality, presentation, drinks, staff, VIEW and sometimes live music makes Captain Al's loved by many! read more

You definitely can't go here just for the food...the cape cod Ruben gave me food poisoning & a friend of mine got sick here too. I wouldn't eat seafood here again. Drinks are always great and the view is awesome. It's too bad they can't get it together in the kitchen though- they don't need to because of all the money that's brought in during the summer! read more

I do really like this place, but I think it's more about the view than it is the food. The food is good, but nothing spectacular and this place is always packed so the service isn't the best, but I will say they do try and that's really you can ask for. Absolutely one of my favorite places to sit and have a drink outside, but they could use a little tweaking with this place to really be one of the best waterfront restaurants around. read more

Great service. Very attentive wait and bus staff. Mixed drinks are strong. I ordered the steak tips, 1/2 pound serving medium rare. I received 4 small tips with fries and veggies. Very underwhelming. The first piece it cut into could have been used by Kingsford as a charcoal briquette. The next two were the same. The last piece was actually medium rare. Considering what I paid for dinner and drinks I wouldn't consider going back. Great service and strong drinks but a bad meal. read more

Atmosphere and cold beer are awesome. Food not so great (admittedly last year). But will give it another try because it's the only place I can walk to. Weekend rotation of the older set early and the younger set later is a hoot to watch. read more

Kelsey the "manager" humiliated our waitress gabby who was very pleasant infront of entire the restaurant. Using vulgar language screaming at her from what I gathered "stealing a table". I then watched this "manager" sit a customers table talking loudly about this employee. I have never in my entire life ever heard of a manager speak to employees that way especially infront of all customers. I am truly disgusted and I hope that for the sake of the restaurant you hold her accountable and find a mentally mature adult to manage your staff because that is NO example of what a manger is. I have a bad taste in my mouth and will be telling everyone I know who loves it there not to return. VIDEO OF SITUATION TO COME !!!!! read more

Great outside dining by the water. Enjoy the atmosphere and good food. Service was okay, like our waitress. Would definitely go back again. read more

I used to have great experiences at Captain Al's, but the last few times we have been here have been disappointing. Abner and I arrived at around 11:45 on 7/6, and was curtly told by the hostess, they don't open until noon. I said to Abner "Wow, that was stern, almost a reprimand." We waited and customers started lining up. At noon, the surly hostess brought us to our table. We ordered strawberry daiquiris and was immediately disappointed at the first sip. A blob of slush with no flavor. We sent them back. Recalling my previous visit where I ordered a specialty drink and it was terrible, I switched to wine. We got the petite lobster rolls, but it was just okay. Has this place become touristy? I don't know, but I'm not in a rush to head back to Captain Al's. Our server was very nice, but please do something about your hostess! If she doesn't like people, she might be better suited as a data entry clerk. read more

The Friendliest Bar staff, servers are very prompt! The food is amazing and everyone has smiles!! I've been there multiple times now and have had amazing service each time in. I highly recommend a captain Al's !! read more

Had a nice Father's Day lunch here with my dad and enjoyed a really solid scallop roll (i wish the roll was buttered and toasted). Our waitress was awesome and extremely helpful. Enjoyed the views too. read more
