Can't beat the location and food. My wife and I shared a great meal here. Nothing like a lobster roll to kick off the summer season. read more

I took a group of friends to the Captain Kidd yesterday to enjoy the Cape Cod experience. You cannot beat the decor and the ambience of this place. It's worth stopping in just for that. Ellie was our server, and though she was young, she was quite personable and clearly well-trained. Everyone was happy with their food: chowder, Caesar salad, lobster roll, fish tacos, turkey club. The habanero bloody Mary was a hit. We didn't have to ask for anything. It was a very pleasant experience and my friend's lobster roll looked fantastic. Best TVs in Woods Hole if you're looking for a place to watch your favorite game. read more

first time going to captain Kidd and all I gotta say is Joe trombly is the greatest server this world has ever known. I got pristine service in all areas, he continually checked up on me and how I was doing. The wait times for food and drinks was super fast and he was very attentive. He is without a doubt the greatest worker I have ever seen. Food was good too I guess read more

First the good -- great spot, nice area, beautiful porch, inside has a lot of character, and the service was polite, and efficient. Now the bad -- The drink sucked (pineapple mojito), tasted like almost no booze at all. The lobster salad ($30) tasted bad. Seemed like the lobster was old, fishy smelling. We should have sent it back. This place used to be good, what has happened?? Maybe off season? Maybe new kitchen help? Anyway, no excuse. I would NOT recommend going here. read more

The Captain Kidd - the front of the restaurant - Bars Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

We live in Falmouth Heights. We went on a Tuesday ahead of the busy season...expecting a nice experience. We were served lukewarm food and they actually upcharged two people in my party for rice (after serving the same rice in one of the other entrees). Cold Appetizers we're good (served with no side plates). Absolute worst dining experience I have ever had on the Cape in 30 years..... read more

Great location- right on the water. Great fish sandwiches. My go to lunch place in Woods Hole.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience and laws left with a bad taste. My family and I (7 adults) had a late diner (8pm) to celebrate our vacation. The mussels had been recommended to us and they didn't disappoint and the mixed drinks were tasty. However, the other dishes were unspectacular. But what most disappointed me was that when I asked for cocktail sauce for my fried clam diner (the clams were stringy and no worth the expense) the waitress came back to inform me that they had run out of cocktail sauce since it was late. Apparently the kitchen couldn't be bothered to mix together some small amount of ketchup and horseradish for a customer. My family embarrasses easily so I didn't say anything until leaving when I did express my disappointment to the waitress after paying my bill. She just turned her back on me and walked away. on my way out, The bartender asked how my dinner was and I told him as well that I was pissed about the kitchen not being willing to make a little cocktail sauce. He did at least showed some concern. When I go to out to diner at a restaurant I don't like to be left with a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Came to this place because it was the only place that was open on the day we went out for lunch. It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. It's a cool bar and restaurant located right next to the marine biology laboratory. There's a deck area behind the restaurant that's covered so it's nice when it's cold outside. We ordered a few things to share. The lobster roll was market price at $24 and actually pretty big and good. It comes on a toasted bun that's probably double the size of a hotdog bun. There's lettuce and some sort of mayo sauce. We also ordered the seafood platter which includes fried shrimp, scallops, cod, and squid. It was lightly battered so you can still taste the flavors of the individual seafoods. The fish was soft and flaky. The friends that came with it was fried just perfectly, not too soggy or over crunchy. It was $29. We also ordered fish tacos. It came with two large tacos with a large piece of fried cod with cole slaw. The tortillas were lightly toasted for a slight crunch. And the sauce was amazing. The fish tacos were $15. The service was ok. It was a little slow and took a little bit of time to get our food and drinks, but overall not terrible. This is a cool place to go if you want good food and watch sports at the same time. read more

This resto has it all goin on. Our waitress was so, so sweet and the young man brought our app & dinner hot to the table. We had fried oysters and lazy man 's lobstah. Both were delish. Even the veggies were fab. Perfectly cooked, slender fresh asparagus and tasty fingerling potatoes. The sauce was so luscious, I sopped it up in bread. It's also on a harbor with beautiful views. read more

Beautiful local restaurant with great service! I'm very picky about lobster rolls and this one was great. The service was especially impressive though for a very busy august evening read more

We came in last week while we were in Woods Hole running an errand. Meredith was our server and she was FANTASTIC. The food was excellent. It was a gorgeous evening and sitting on the outside patio was a 10. Kudos to Meredith. Very professional and elevated our dining experience with her gracious and friendly service. Thank you. read more

I've been here before and was very impressed, but this time they were a little off. First, the online prices were much lower than when we got there, and the quality didn't match. My scallops where tasty but were a little bit dry. The service was good. read more

Didn't eat here at all, but did come here for drinks one night when I was in town. Really big interior, tons of room for drinks or meals - but also a stunning back dock. Tons of seating, right on the water, among the boats. So gorgeous. Great service, really great spot to spend some evenings. read more

Great food and service!! We had the chicken salad sandwich, the fried chicken burger, the Captain Kidd, burger, and the French dip sandwich. All. Delicious!! read more

Normally I don't gripe about restaurants, but this one really bugs me. Most of the order was fine, if pricey. But asked for a side salad, apparently got a side salad -- and charged $14 for the Wedge Salad. Manager told me that's what we ordered. You be the judge. read more

I've never had a better salad! Ever. Ever. Ever. The Kale salad with lobster salad on top... Oh My Gaaaaaaaawd. Amazing. Everyone was done eating but I made everyone stay because I simply haaaaaaad to finish it. No shame. Plus, Ms. Abby Baldwin kept us entertained and continuously hydrated on the Cabernet. Oh, the overall experience was just everything. Thanks Abby! Thanks Captain Kidd's :) read more

Extremely disappointed. We were looking for someplace different to try while waiting for the boat to MV. We arrived around 645pm and sat at the bar. We ordered a bottle of wine, a couple of oysters/shrimp, Caesar salad and fried calamari. The oysters and shrimp came out within 10 minutes. A little while later the bar tender apologized that the kitchen was backed up and the food was taking longer than usual. No problem, we still had over an hour so we weren't in a hurry. Finally at 8pm we said we were probably going to need to take our food to go because we had to get to the ferry. We were then informed that the kitchen was closed and everyone had gone home!!! What??? Are you kidding me?? Oh and the credit card machine is down so you will need to pay cash. At least they were "generous" enough to comp us on our 2 oysters and 2 cocktail shrimp. What a joke! They should have comped our wine too! Ended up grabbing sandwiches at Pie in the Sky (not what we wanted but we're thankful they were still open!) we will stick with the old standby the Landfall from now on when we have extra time (never disappoints) or Pie in the Sky read more

Food was delicious, I got the fish taco meal and everything was amazing. Small portions and great ambiance when sitting outside. Waiter was incredibly nice and welcoming the entire time!! read more

terrible service. reported me to manager for my REAL id and then didn't apologize. service was slow and sloppy.

The best dining experience I have ever had. our server Brian was the sweetest human being in the world. His service was top notch and the food was incredible. The muscles were out of this world and the bread pudding was so decadent. absolutely a 10/10 experience. read more

Nice local beer selection on tap. Food was overpriced for what it was. Shrimp were over cooked and the Tuna bowl was fatty. The lobster bisque was very good but cold. The staff was nice and helpful. Along with a nice atmosphere and water views. read more

We had a very nice experience in this place. It was out first stop in Cape Cod and we truly enjoyed the food. The clam chowder and Calamari were amazing! A must try....... The service was awesome to! We arrived just a few minutes before kitchen closed and everyone accommodated our requests!!!! We highly recommend this place if you are in Cape Cod! read more

Great lunch stop at Woods Hole! Beautiful setting and view out in the covered patio! Decently priced menu. Our Bloody Mary could be a lil but more flavorful (my friend started dousing salt on hers ... maybe add salt to the rim ?). No complaints on any of the appetizers we ordered! Everything was so delicious!! I'm so glad I experience my 1st New England clam chowder here because man I was so soooooo sooooooo yummy!!! The staff was friendly and helpful! Overall, amazing experience before our ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard! read more

The restaurant is not handicapped accessible. The bathroom is located up 3 steps. When a family member asked if they had an accessible bathroom the hostess was dismissive and said no and went back to folding napkins. The family member struggled getting up the steps and a fellow diner offered because they hostess refused. We were seated at a very small table in the corner despite multiple open tables that offered more space. I asked to be moved and the manager told me all tables were reserved, I reminded her we too had a reservation. Having a disabled or elderly party member seemed to be an issue. Good is good but honestly, the staff is not helpful or welcoming. Servers were very nice snd knowledgeable about gluten free items. read more

I've eaten here twice in the past year and both times the service, ambiance, and food was great. I went here once in July and once in January and both times was able to get a table for lunch without a reservation and no wait time! (Although it was much more crowded in July as you can imagine.) And both times we were able to get tables with views of the water which is gorgeous! I love that they offer a heated deck option in the winter. I loved their clam chowder - perfect amount and not too filling for an appetizer. I think they have generous lunch portions for all of their dishes so you definitely get your money's worth of food! My only reason for giving 4 stars versus 5 stars is that I dined both times with a vegetarian who didn't find a lot of options on the menu. Since this is one of the only restaurants open in January in the area, it would be great to have some more opps for vegetarians. I am not a vegetarian so I had no complaints for dinner options and I highly recommend any of the fresh fish options. The lobster roll is particularly yummy. They also have their own Captain Kidd root beer which was the perfect nonalcoholic drink for the lunch dishes. I didn't dine with any children but I saw plenty of families there with kids. They had crayons and food options for kids so this is definitely a family friendly place! read more

Now I understand this is a tourist destination so restaurants can be overpriced. But this place is ridiculous. I ordered the steak frites which is actually 6 pieces of hanger steak with a small cup of fries. The steaks are even cold and it's 27 dollars??? I literally regret not going to McDonald or something. One star for the service and one for the ambience. I would not go there again read more

Great View. Mediocre food. Slow service. Title says it all. It's nice to sit by the water but don't expect much of the food. The Buffalo Cauliflower was undercooked and cold when it finally got to our table. read more

The food is great, took more than an hour but it was great food. The waitress was the bartender and she was so nice, I felt horrible for her though. The place is clearly very understaffed. Where was management ? It's ridiculous That they thought it was okay to have one bartender for a World Cup game when they knew it was going to rain. I felt so bad for her. She had 5 tables and a full bar to handle with NO help. While she did the best she could and was amazing at it, truly. Whoever manages this restaurant needs to be fired. read more

Food is outstanding: a solid 4 out of 5. Their kale salad is probably the best salad I've ever had. Kale, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, Almond Slices, Shredded Parm, and Avocado Lime dressing.... Sounds so simple but the texture and mouth feel associated with this salad just made it beyond outstanding. I was similarly impressed by the mussels. I've had their mussels 4 times and each time, I've thought this. Just be warned: order extra bread to ensure you can take advantage of the marinade, which begs to be soaked up by some carby goodness. My dining companion and I also feasted on the fish tacos (got them steamed) and loved them as well. We also ordered the fish "special," which was a pecan maple crusted cod stuffed with lemon butter. Basically, it was our divine dessert. We also shared an outstanding bottle of wine. We ended up getting a red blend by Josh. Also a pleasant surprise- great bottle at a fair price point. ($42). All that food and it came out to about $100- this place is very fairly priced! Other highlights included the great service from our friendly waiter Rich and the amazing outdoor views. Nothing beats that pier and the duck pond! read more

We wanted to sit outside near the water and have a nice view. That was the main reason we chose this restaurant when we were in Woods Hole. The atmosphere looks pretty inviting in that it has a nice nautical feel. The service was ok. Nothing wonderful or bad. I ordered the Grilled Ahi Tuna Sandwich which had seaweed on top. It was a creative combination and it tasted pretty good. My husband ordered the Homemade Lobster Salad. He said it tasted kinda ok. And about a half hour after we left, until the rest of the day, he was nauseous. It was very pricey for all that. I do have to add, though, that they have a homebrew ale, a style called cask-conditioned, that I just loved. I would go back for that drink. read more

We had an amazing experience here last year. We have dreamed about coming back to visit since. We arrived yesterday and honestly it felt like a totally different restaurant. The hostess were very nice and we enjoyed sitting in the back room by the wood stove. Our server was Andrea and her service was greatly lacking. She never cracked a smile, wasn't friendly at all, and actually made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. I honestly was waiting on her to roll her eyes. We came back for the quahog fritters and were sad to hear they took them off the menu. We did try the quahog cake and it was excellent. All of our food was good but the experience and atmosphere was much less than the experience we had here the first time. We look forward to trying a new place on our next visit to Woods Hole. ***We received a coupon notification upon checking in here on Yelp. When we tried to use the coupon Andrea had to take it to her manager because she had never seen it before. She came back huffy and made some comment about how they didn't know about it but would honor it "this time." read more

Enjoyed the food very much. The prices were a tad too expensive but it's still The Cap'n Kidd

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Perfect Cape Cod feel! We walked in and felt immersed in the small town culture. FRIDAY NIGHT 8/21 Earlier we had ordered take out for 12 to be picked up at 6:00. We got there on time and the two hostess had no idea what was going on. Then we asked the bartender for some information on our food and our food wasn't even ready. The place was almost empty so it isn't like they had a full board and were in the middle of a huge push. 20 min later I ask for the manager and tell them it's kinda ridiculous that we ordered at least an hour ago and had a pick up time set so that we could just take the food and leave because it had already been paid for earlier. He was extremely rude and sloppily dressed so I got a little irritated. To his surprise the food came out we got it and went home. 5 min walk home and by the time we got home the food was very cold except for one dish. It was all gross food anyhow but the cold doesn't help. I want this place to turn around because of its great view and awesome feel but with food like that and staff who are clueless, rude and sloppy I don't think it will. They need to do something. Side note: The outside doesn't look as appealing as the inside, if they could change the outside to draw attention I think they'd get more business. read more

This was the only restaurant available to go to on a Tuesday evening in September. We sat outside on their back deck overlooking the water which was very comfortable. We had the skillet shrimp, lobster bisque, mussels and scallops. The scallops and mussels were great. The skillet shrimp was tasty but nothing special and a bit expensive. The lobster bisque was way too creamy and not good. Overall service was great and the entrees made up for the appetizers. Strong drinks. read more

Ahoy, matey! The Cape is famous for its history of piracy- with notable people like Blackbeard&Captain Kidd (who coined "Dead men tell no tales") burying their treasures in its sands- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2EdhUqyxFo The Captain Kidd is a local institution on the Cape. It has a beautiful view of Eel Pond.... when the weather is good. Red sky at night, sailor's delight, red sky at morn, sailors be warned. The Kidd makes great veggie tempura- especially the avocados, which wouldn't be out of place at the famous Blue Bayou. Their halibut in green curry with mango salsa is excellent. Their flourless chocolate cake is superb. The food, the service, and the view are some of the best on the Cape! A hidden treasure of sorts. read more

Here with Rebecca tonight, and what a superb seating spot I got us here. Simple dinner but a perfect spot here in Woods Hole. We had a young server that was all about us enjoying our time together with just the right amount of conversation from him. We had a glass of white wine and the Whales Tale beer from Nantucket which was indeed most welcome, though I do hate that they provided so little from the area really, and too much 'standard' fare. I mean who really needs ANY Budweiser??? The simple meals included perfectly cooked burgers and chicken, nothing too crazy here really. The spot where we sat, out along the water was truly TO DIE FOR just impressive. I cannot talk crazy for the dinner because of the seating, it really amazed that much. Were the burgers great? Sure they were. read more
