Came here while on vacation - everything was great! Our server, Vicki, was amazing. Food came out quickly and tasted fantastic; drinks were great as well. Portions were generous and not very expensive either! Live music as well, so vibes were great :) We loved it! read more

The parents wanted fish before leaving to go back home to Ky. It had been a minute since we had eaten here so why not? This place was GREAT! Corey was our server and he was the best! Very helpful answering all of our questions and even making suggestions. 3 of us got the Fish and Chips (2 of us shared 1 meal) and the other got the Captains Feast. The Fish and Chips is more than enough food for to feed 1 person. 2 Large pieces of flounder, fries, and slaw. Very fresh and crispy! (We had enough left over for my lunch the next day) The Captains Feast grilled, was also very fresh! Flounder, Scallops, Shrimp, Crab cake, and he ordered chips and slaw as a side. I would definitely suggest going and I know we will stop in for dinner again very soon. See u Soon! read more

Fun little place with a great servicer. No inside/ air conditioning seating but the water keeps it nice in the shade. Food was yummy. The tuna appetizer was a big hit and the wague sliders. Check it out. Right across the bridge from the sponge docks. read more

Great place to come to for a drink and an appetizer! This is a Tiki style restaurant, that has indoor seating and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor seating at 4:00pm and we came to find out that, most of the seating outside had fans blowing a nice cool breeze throughout your whole time being there which, was very satisfying. We both got a small cocktail bucket of there speciality drink "Florida Bucket" which consist with, Wicked Dolphin Coconut, Banana, and Pineapple Rums, a splash of dark rum, orange and pineapple juices, and a bit of grenadine.(Very fruity and delicious) For our appetizer, we shared Nachos (with FRIED chicken) Topped with chopped fried chicken tenders, beans, nacho cheese, pico de gallo, and jalapeños, and Caribbean BBQ sauce an dripping with queso sauce!! Very delicious!!! While you eat/drink you are taking views of the gulf, and watching people bring their boats in for a bite, or dock their boats into the boat club right next to the restaurant. Also, there is live music! I'm a fan of live music while dining! Service was good, 5 stars would have been warranted if, service was more attentive. That doesn't stop me from returning. All-in-all GREAT place to come for a drink and an appetizer to share before dinner time at home! They have an extraordinary menu if you wanna come and have dinner! I was watching food come out the kitchen and it looked delicious! We WILL be coming back to try dinner! Ps. If you buy a bucket drink, they will let you take it home as a souvenir! Cheers! read more

A little disappointed today. Could not get the non smoking area with air conditioning so we went to Rusty Bellies instead.

Tony and I stopped at Captain Jacks Tiki Bar and Grill waterfront at Tarpon Springs FL for a seafood lunch! The food was great! The waiter was friendly and made suggestions. Even though the dreary light rain the atmosphere was wonderful! Definitely recommend and will stop again if in the area! Tony got a Budweiser and I ordered Iced Water w Lemon and lime! We ordered The Hurricane Boil Bucket to split! I always feel like I bathed in Old Bay once we dive in but it's not too bad lol Tony loved it!

Great spot right in the water in Tarpon Springs. You could have a nice view of the Anclote river and the boats going by as you snack and dine at this great little location. We had the fish and chips and the captains platter along with the blueberry crumble cheesecake and all were super super tasty! Excellent service as well so this is a spot. You should definitely check out. read more

It won't take us as long to return to Capt'n Jack's this time! Last time we were here was more than a decade ago- why did we wait so long?!?! Great service! Gorgeous waterfront seating! A well-curated menu featuring Florida faves! The tacos made a sunny afternoon into a satisfying sunny afternoon! You can't go wrong with shrimp or mahi tacos! The onion rings were enormous. They have a great Florida beer selection and the plenty of specialty cocktails. Can't wait to try their seafood boil buckets on our next visit! read more

We were visiting friends for the weekend, and they brought us to Capt'n Jack's Waterfront for dinner. It such a great pick! We went on a Friday night and got a high-top table right by the water, which made for the perfect view. There was live music playing, the vibe was super laid back, and our server was so friendly and welcoming. To start, we all shared the buffalo shrimp and without even planning it, everyone at the table ended up ordering either the blackened grouper tacos or fried shrimp tacos. They were delicious. All of our meals were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This ended up being the ideal spot for a chill birthday dinner. Great food, great atmosphere, and great company. I'd absolutely come back next time I'm in town! read more

Went tonight for a birthday dinner and it was great. My wife got the captain dinner and loved the crab cakes. I had the fried shrimp that were delicious. My daughter had the hurricane boil and enjoyed the shrimp, crab and sausage. As the weather starts to cool a great spot to enjoy outdoor eating read more

The food was good, drinks were cold and we were on the water - what more do you need?

not bad! the drinks were YUMMMMM. the food could've been a lil more seasoned but not bad. the honey mustard was sooo good too.

I wish I could give 5 stars because the food and our waiter, Jake, were fantastic. However, even with our 5:45pm reservation "with handicap accessibility" noted, we were told by the belligerent hostess that we would need to sit at a high top or wait 1 hour. I told her to look at my mom and that I would not be doing that. She just said, "well that's the only options you have, I can't hold tables." "Well what is the point of a reservation with notes?" I replied. She proceeded to blame the other host and said "she didn't see anything and couldn't help, we would just need to wait." So I said "that's unacceptable." And when she replied again that she"couldn't do anything." I said "well let's talk to a manager then, because I'm not lifting my mom into one of those chairs." So she stormed off and the manager immediately apologized and said she would fix it while the hostess said I was yelling at her. Unbelievable. I just think the hostess needs a different job. I have never experienced someone so argumentative and rude as a hostess. Then I come here and read comments and clearly she is working a lot and ruining this awesome restaurants reputation. Give her a new job before you lose more customers! read more

Amazing food, service and views. We frequently eat here and are never disappointed. read more

Captain Jacks is not worth going to unless you just want a place to pull your boat up to. Food was meh and overpriced. The waitress was honest in the jumbo wings are not jumbo. I had a hard time finding something on the menu I wanted to eat that was worth ordering. Birds will attack your food so don't leave it alone. I got the crab dip which was big but bland. My wrap was just OK. Beer is served in plastic cups but was cold. Outside seating was fun and abundant. I won't go back. read more

My husband were famished after walking and shopping in Tarpon Springs. So we decided to stop at Captain Jack's to grab a bite to eat. We've been here a couple of times and the food has always been good. We love the sitting by the water and the whole vibe. We had the pulled pork Nachos and the fish spread. Thank goodness we shared the nachos, the portions was enough for four and there was a lot of goodies in it. Sometimes you get nachos with the stuff plopped on top, but these were delicious and had pork and all the goodies mixed throughout, so good! Our waitress was so nice and very attentive. It was a beautiful day to just sit and watch the boats. read more

We stopped through here for lunch, it was a beautiful day out so the outside seating by the water was just perfect. It wasn't too busy, and our server was super nice, she let us taste test the beer she recommended to us and what a great move because we probably wouldn't have ordered it, but it was awesome and our whole table ended up ordering it lol - I ordered the fish and chips, which was really tasty, no complaints. The batter was nice and crispy, the fries were also crispy but not overcooked - overall just a really solid spot by the water to stop in for a drink and a bite on a nice day outside. read more

We have passed this restaurant many times & always wanted to try it. Tonight, we did. We were seated outside on the ground floor. But I smelled cigarette smoke and mentioned that we wanted no smoking. So the host took us upstairs, and offered us a table outside. But since there was a possibility of a smoker in the area, we asked again for non smoking. He took us into the upstairs dining area. We were the only ones there and wondered about the service. But the service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the food. We did not want frozen fish, and the grouper was frozen as was the fish and chips. Husband got the fried shrimp, & Friend got the crab cake dinner. I got the tropical salad without protein. While we ordered, two ladies came in to sit at a table near us. Our meals were delivered shortly after. We did enjoy what we ordered, but none of the meals was exceptional or memorable. However, the service was both. The ladies left before we paid our bill. So we enjoyed having the dining area to ourselves after eating, and talked for another 30 minutes. We walked downstairs, by the solo singer playing guitar, and out to our car. Singer was pretty good. We're not sure if we'll be back. There are so many restaurants in this area, and being just okay is not a good reason to return. read more

The perfect Florida vibe! I spent about two hours just relaxing and watching the boats go by. My waiter, Kevin, was fantastic -- friendly, welcoming, and didn't mind me taking my time and enjoying the view. I've tried several dishes here, and every one has been excellent. Whether you want to hang out and soak in the atmosphere or enjoy a great meal, this is the place to be! read more

Great first trip here over the weekend. Having dined across the water in the touristy area of Tarpon Springs we'd always wanted to see what this place was all about. So glad we decided to try them out! Capt'n Jack's is a great waterfront bar. The feeling was that of a beach bar minus the sand. Sitting right on the water where there are plenty of pontoon rentals heading in and out made for some fun people watching too. Drinks were good, just needed that fresh ground nutmeg for the painkiller but otherwise very good. For food we both enjoyed the nachos and had Mahi prepared both as tacos and as a wrap. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our experienced and promised to return soon. Bonus points for modern and very clean restrooms. Well done! read more

They may have outside handicapped parking but if you need to transfer from your walker or wheelchair to a handicapped friendly table or chair, I was directed, with my walker, to a virtually vertical staircase to a standard table and chair upstairs. I asked if they had an elevator? She said "No you have to walk up these stairs." I said " Do you not see my walker? How do you expect me to do that?" She just looked at me like well your out of luck. I said " I am going to find a more handicapped friendly restaurant. I went and spent about $ 100.00 at a another restaurant NOT in Tarpon Springs, so not only you but Tarpon Springs lost out also. I am not sure but I believe that this IS a violation of the DISABILITY ACT. read more

Yum! Absolutely beautiful service, beautiful atmosphere, the grouper was fresh and they blackened it just right for my grouper sandwich as well as the group tacos.

It's another Sunday and I'm taking my son out to eat. Saw this place in passing and decided I wanted to go. Now we decided to sit outside and I started to regret that decision. They were setting up for live music. I am not a fan of live music when I eat. It is usually to loud and you can't enjoy conversation with people. We were seated quickly and our waitress was there fast to get the drink order. She was pleasant but not overly intrusive which was great. We ordered the Calamari and half a dozen fresh oysters for our appetizers. My son ordered the ultimate fish sandwich and I selected the Mahi Ravioli. The view is excellent and weather was perfect for eating outside. The oysters were small but tasty. The calamari on the other hand was delicious great. The music has started and as I thought it added nothing to the atmosphere. Should have gotten seats further away live and learn. Our food arrived and that fish sandwich is huge. My son he could eat it with or without the tartar sauce. It was just huge to my eyes. Now my meal combined the unique taste of mahi with ravioli and the cream sauce with the mango salsa as a topping. The salsa was mild so it was not overpowering. I highly recommend trying it. Except for the music I liked this place. I give it 3.8 stars. read more

Tim was the best waiter today. Did everything we wanted and more. My friend's wallet fell out of his back pocket and Tim ran out to the parking lot to return it.

Loved the ambiance! Right on the water. Regan was our server & we couldn't have been more pleased. She was so attentive and accommodating. Great attitude!! my partner ordered the appetizer steak bites. Would suggest you get the blackened ones.The plain ones were a tad tasteless. Comes with 1/2 cup shredded lettuce for garnish. I got the fried calamari appetizer. Wish I'd known they would be all circles & no tendrils. Don't think I'd order that again. Mine was $21, tip, taxes, and no drink. We'll definitely go pack, but try something else for food. read more

We have lived in this area for 5 years and have been at Capt Jack's several times with our little dog in her stroller and today when we went we were turned away as she is not a service dog but is well behaved. This surprises us as we were there last week with her with no issues. This also surprises us as the owner came to our table a couple weeks ago and told us about his dog he brings everyday. We will definitely not recommend to our pet family friends and will not be bringing family and friends there. read more
