    Peanut Butter Pie to go
    PJ C.

    We stopped for dinner outside on a brisk January evening. The waitress and the pie were the highlights. Our waitress could be a stand-up comedian given her witty quips - she should be in a diner. Very personable. She was a bit scattered in her service when it was busy but more attentive once it emptied out. My blackened fish (swai) was good not great as was the potato salad. The flounder and deviled crab platter were good - though it would have been better if the flounder was grilled vs. fried. The fried chicken was also solid. Now onto the pies - the key west key lime was excellent, good flavor with a bit of tartness. The peanut butter pie and blueberry pie also were great. A nice setting and good pie are worth a stop.

    View from the parking lot!  Frolicking Pelicans lol!

    Today Dave and I decided to check out Matlacha and Bokeelia since Hurricane Ian was here, a month ago. Even though I have lived in Florida since 1975, and been though a multitude of hurricanes, nothing could have prepared me for this. We usually rode out to Bokeelia, at least once a week and sat outside and watched the Pelicans. As we crossed into Matlacha, I was horrified to see the wreckage of some of our favorite places to visit. First we saw Island Pho, definitely inhabitable. Next a lot of the buildings were just flattened. Michelli's had a huge crowd in front of it with people walking towards the restaurant from everywhere. Little did we know that they were giving out free food and were reopening tomorrow! We were so happy to hear that! As we continued, Burt's Bar and restaurant was completely gone except for the pilings in the water. The hotel by the water was gone too, in shambles no longer welcoming you across the bridge. I think the fish store was condemned too. As we went across the bridge all the colorful little stores were there, but had severe damage. The Blue Dog was still standing, but it looked like a victim of water surge. I'm amazed that the Perfect Cup survived and will reopen on November 1! Yucatán, didn't look so good although it was still standing. We continued on to Bokeelia where the piers were also gone. We parked at Capt'n Con's and we were happy to see that it was still there! There was a sign that said that the internet was down and that it was Cash Only! Dave had spent most of his cash at the Post Office which didn't have any internet either. Between the both of us we had a measly $22.00. So we shared a tuna and chicken salad, an order of fries and a coffee. I was going to support this business no matter what! The comfort it gave me to eat there, with these people who even had a harder time than us. Thank you Capt'n Con's and staff for taking care of all your customers during this rough time!

    Food was fresh. Mahi was blackened and you get two large pieces of fish, fries and slaw. Server was nice. but forgot drinks and sauces. The view was breathtaking and it was hard to concentrate on my meal when I was overlooking paradise. Great way to take my mind off my first hurricane ....

    Really really good food. It's mostly seafood. Really good service. Famously delicious pies. A perfect view. What more could you want? It's a Pine Island landmark. Enjoy the old school vibe in this super casual place. We were here 20+years ago and are glad it survived the pandemic.

    Capt'n Con's is a perfect spot to have a meal on a warm out cold Florida day! We found this little oasis once we drove down the island on Christmas Eve. So festively decorated both inside and out and smiles and warmth to greet you as you walk in. Beach and parking lot right out front with a full bar and plenty of seating for large and small parties inside. They make their own seafood chowder which was so good. Huge menu with tons of choices and seafood options. I had the grilled grouper with fries and coleslaw. You get your choice of a side when you order a basket or dinner plate. The service was amazing! We'll be back out next visit.

    This place is great! Food was wonderful and service was great and comfortable. Very old Florida laid back! Beautiful views too. Don't miss it when visiting the island.

    This is a down to earth place with a great view of the sunset and a fresh ocean breeze. If your taste buds are Michelin star level, this not your place. My wife looked on the map for an end of the road place we could watch the sunset, and this place popped up so we decided to take the long drive. Btw it is at the end of the road and the ends at a gravel lot leading to the Gulf of Mexico and a pier where you can watch the sunset. I like this place not for a certain expectation but how relaxed it made me feel. This is a place I would come to at the end of the day working in back breaking work in tough elements relax and let the stresses of the day go by. It's has a good choice of cold beers and simply cooked seafood. I had the seafood chowder which was tasty and hardy. It's was good for the soul and added to the view. The staff were kind and helpful. If you're used to fast hustle and bustle type of service not leave it at the door. Again, this a chill place. Just for a point of reference I frequent high end places by famous chefs to mom and pop locals. Hope this helps and let the road take you where it's leads you. Enjoy life!!

    We were in the mood for fried food, and they didn't disappoint. Fried mullet, clam strips, coconut shrimp, fried flounder, and deviled crab. Had a great local vibe, and excellent service. I think our waitresses name was Deda, mad at myself for not remembering because she went above and beyond for us. Do NOT leave this restaurant without trying a slice of any of their homemade pies. My family couldn't agree on one, so we got 4 . The Peanut Butter pie and Apple Pie was our fav.

    This Captain has some delicious hamburgers! The fish, was fried well, a beautiful texture and color but the batter was bland. The fish was perfect though. The fries, lightly salted and so good. The coleslaw was bland. The cheese cakes? Oh dear goodness was so so good! I had a photo but by time I got home, the pie was unattractive so sorry I didn't post a photo. Over all though, I think 3 stars is for having a great selection of food, fried perfectly, and cooked amazingly. It needs more flavor for some dishes, and maybe a bit more prompt in. Serving, at least giving drinks and food this perfectly cooked, I'll wait an hour for so that's not an issue. It just didn't have any flavor to the fish. but hey, ketchup, tater sauce and lemons are there for. We will have to come back to give this place a great review but I think 3 stars will suffice. I cant wait that your missing out if you don't come here BUT if you want diner coffee, a slice of pie that will spike your blood sugar and make your mouth water, this is definitely the place. Staffing? Decent. We waited a bit and there wasn't many people at all. They were kind, though and that does mean a lot.

    Blackened Grouper so good
    Julie B.

    Great service right by the the ocean. Small inside but the best is outside seating. Blackened Grouper was amazing. Nice friendly place.

But we went all the way to the end of the dark Marina tonight, and there it was! We ordered the Crabby fries, the Smashburger in the Pastrami Reuben. One of the reasons I think their food is so delicious is that they make many items in-house, such as the amazing queso that came with the fries (which might have been the best fries I've ever had- no exaggeration). They prepare the fries in a unique way that doesn't involve deep-frying them, unlike most places. They also smoke their pastrami, and the Pastrami Reuben sandwich was also delicious. We also both enjoyed the Smashburger. An upgrade to bun might be worthwhile, but it was damn tasty. We also had a lovely chat with one of the managers?, Matthew. He was super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the restaurant. It was dark when we went, but I'm sure it's a beautiful view of the water and the marina during the day. We'll be back to try the wings and some other menu items. Visit them soon, you won't be disappointed!
