Cute little spot with good service and good pizzas. I could see it getting too busy, but we were there in a down time.

Sloooow service! place was not that busy. Took 15 Mins to get served 2 drinks? Not going back read more

Frozen mango daiquiri was the only good thing. Bugs will eat u alive at night. Nice variety of cocktails that were not mixed

...When in Burlington during a heat wave and you need someplace to stop for a beverage and a snack... we enjoyed this place! Ordered a couple great draft, Zero Gravity (local brew) Frankie and some nachos (no meat), guacamole and salsa were both good. Great selection of beverages. Decent bar menu. Pleasant service, outdoor seating w/cover from the sun. Can't say I know more about this place.. but it fit the bill. read more

On Aug. 1, I went to Captain Tom's Tiki Bar with a friend. We were having a great time until I noticed an older man and woman not wearing masks. They appeared to work there. Before we left, I politely waved over the man to our table. I asked him the following (this is verbatim as I wrote down the exchange as soon as we exited the bar. I meant to write the review on Yelp as soon as got home but I forgot and am just getting to it now): Me: Hey, excuse me. Can I ask you why you're not wearing a mask? Him: 'Cause I'm sweating and I can't breathe. Me: Are you the owner? Him: Why? Are you going to write something on Yelp? Me: 'Cause it's kind of concerning. He didn't reply at first. Then we went back inside for a second and then came outside and said the following in a really rude tone: Him: By the way, I have a medical condition and you can't ask me what it is because of HIPAA. He was rude throughout the whole exchange and I made sure my tone was light and non-accusatory. To be clear, all of the waitstaff was wearing masks. When I got home, I verified that the man and woman were indeed the owners of Ken's Pizza - Tom and Deb Miller. read more

Captain Tom's Tiki Bar - Tiki Bar! - Tiki Bars Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Mostly an Italian and sandwich menu, using Ken's kitchen. Good execution on the food. A nice solid place for a bite and drinks. Many beach inspired mixed drinks, and lots of Jimmy Buffet toons. Just off Church Street, so a little more laid back. read more

Captain Tom's Tiki Bar - Off the backside off Ken's, a burlington staple. - Tiki Bars Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

RACIST ESTABLISHMENT- WILL NOT COME BACK Tonight, my roommate and I went to Captain Tom's/ with Ken's Pizza on Church Street in Burlington, VT. There were a lot of peaceful protestors walking by Church street throughout the night, all peaceful. My roommate went to the bathroom and when she walked out she overheard a man at the bar saying, 'this is Burlington Vermont, this isn't Minneapolis,' and "some of them need to be shot," then proceeded to talk about how "shooting them" is what's needed to move on. She was very upset- walked outside to our table and immediately told me. I walked inside and asked that bartender directly "is that man (pointing to the only man at the bar) the owner here?" and she replied laughing saying "why, what's the question?" I then said "I know what he said about protesters and that they should be shot and I want you to know that I will never ever come here again." The man sitting at the bar then proceeded to yell across the bar at me, screaming. I came in quietly, said my piece to the bartender quietly across the bar, and he proceeded to scream across the bar at me. To which I said "And now he's yelling at a twenty- something year old girl, do you realize how bad of business this is? We will never return." As the man continued to yell and the bartender did not seem shocked, but just nodded and said "ok." Given the reaction from the bartender, I am 99% sure he is the owner, and I could pick him out from a picture easily. For the owner to sit at his bar and say "some of them need to be shot," is absolutely repulsive. I am not a confrontational person, but this story needed to be shared. People need to know who they are giving their business to, especially in these times. My whole purpose of this is just to share that when you go to this establishment- this is who you're giving your business to. read more

Good solid place for a drink. Nothing fancy, but who needs fancy when you're gettin' crunk in the summertime?

Of course everything was jammed tonite but we wanted to be away from it ...... Just a little. And there it was. This inviting place staffed by smiling people. Sat outside. It was perfect for us. Great theme inspired drinks. Wonderful warm service. Special quesadilla and pastrami Reuben very good. We have no idea what other places offer (and there are a lot!), but we felt like we made a really great choice. Go there!!! read more

Me and the boys came here on Friday night to have a few drinks and catch up. Our server was nice but he didn't seem to have much experience. I personally didn't eat but my friends got the Vermonter sandwich and the Buffalo Chicken Cesar Salad and they seemed to enjoy them. I had a gin & tonic, and my friends had beer and a some kind of fruity frozen drink... All in all, we had a good experience. Definitely a place I would come back to for drinks with the boys. read more

Maggie our server started us off with a great welcome and smile. Had the artichoke dip which came out piping hot and delicious. Pizza was authentic new York pizza with a thin crust. Was headed to the farm house but too busy so stopped here instead. Awesome alternative! read more

Dirty. They charge for 16 oz beers on tap but only give you 12oz. Buyers beware. Looks dirty so we didn't order food.

The two employees working outside at the tiki bar were nothing but friendly and wonderful. Their boss however was kind of a dick. He was condescending and rude to his employees and started taking down decor while we sat at the makeshift bar at only 8pm. At one point he dragged away a beach scene backdrop that was hiding two dumpsters right behind the bar. It all made us very uncomfortable and we finished our beers quickly and left read more

If zero stars was an option, Captain Toms would take home the crown of worst tiki bar I have ever encountered. If you're looking for a staff that is too busy to take an order, or if you love somewhere to go and not get drinks, this is the place for you. I was an alcoholic until I went to Captain Toms, but the service was so slow that I got sober and haven't drank since. Thanks Captain Toms, you're like rehab except cheaper! read more

We've been to Burlington many times and this was our first visit to this restaurant. Mine was the arugula salad with home made citrus balsamic vinaigrette with chicken added. First off, half the arugula was yellowed and wilted and the vinaigrette was without any flavor. The chicken was cold and was probably poached and had no flavor at all. In fact it was so white that I thought that maybe it was tofu instead. But it wasn't. It was the most tasteless meal I've had in over ten years, for sure. There was no attempt to win me over with another meal, just an apology from the waitress. Yuck. Never again. read more

The servers were all so sweet and helpful. The food was good, and the drink selection was nice. They have some creative flavors on their beer menu, but don't ask for any tasters, because they are a little stingy on those types of things. You better know what you want when you order it. Likewise with the menu, you get what you see, even if you offer to pay extra to make a slight addition or subtraction from your order, they are only able to give you the recipies exactly to template. They aren't anything that will blow you away, but their good enough to not worry about catering to an individual. I wouldn't go back on my own accord, but if someone asked me to meet them there I wouldn't mind a quick late night visit. read more
