After a morning of hiking for 3hrs we stopped into Captain's Corner. Honestly, we had low…read moreexpectations as it was lunchtime and the place was empty, but we were pleasantly surprised once the food came out. We ordered a Caesar salad w shrimp, (fried) chicken bites, and tater barrels to split, and were surprised how fresh everything tasted, as bar food isn't particularly known for that. We devoured everything and were particularly in love with the tater barrels!!! The waitress did say that they're not made in house, but come from Gordon Food Service, but we didn't care. They were a much need fried carb after loads of hiking. We'd definitely go back; fun spot, and had outdoor seating too! Also, yes, we ARE going to GFS to see about those tater barrels! Lol

We ended up eating here 2 days in a row! I chose this restaurant for our Saturday night dinner…read morebecause the specials on the board out front and the dessert list looked great, and they were. Saturday night was pretty popular and the patio was full, so we sat inside, which is why our photos were rather dark. We started with a round of drinks. I had a glass of rose. Note that the drinks menu is several pages longer than the food menu, with beer, wine, and a variety of specialty and standard cocktails. They also have an espresso bar. It wasn't on the menu, but we ordered the Street Corn dip from the specials board on the sidewalk. We got a nice sized serving, and it was very good. I had the za'atar roast chicken for my entree, and it was delicious! The chicken comes with a lemon yogurt sauce, and Fattoush salad, but the salad was kind of a cross between Fattoush and tabbouleh, with pita chips and a grain base. It was a great combo, and the chicken was very juicy and seasoned nicely. I ended up with a slice of the almond cake, which was moist and had sliced almonds on top. Very much needed after missing out in the ice cream stop this afternoon! One of my friends had a bowl of gumbo and the other one had the taco pie. Since everyone enjoyed their dinner, and we confirmed that the patio was dog friendly, we returned with Miss Pup for brunch. We were able to snag a patio seat with a super friendly server. Miss Pup mostly hung out under the table, but managed to convince some other diners to pet her. We went with some plates for the table - Chicken and Waffle, Chilaquiles, and the special Quiche, which had sundried tomatoes, bacon and feta. All 3 portions were just right for us. The chicken was really moist and the waffle had slightly crispy edges. It came with some fruit and syrup. The quiche slice was generous and it came with a large portion of salad with a fruity vinaigrette. The sundried tomatoes were a really fun addition! I chose the chilaquiles. I'm pretty sure the chips were fried fresh (the ones last night were not), and I liked that it had beans and pico on top! This dish did not contain enchilada sauce, it was more like breakfast nachos, but I really enjoyed it. This place is definitely worth a stop, and the menu stands out from the standard island fish and chips and burgers fare (not that I dislike those things, just something different)!

One evening after the tourist season had ended, my wife and I ventured out to see what might be…read moreopen for dinner. Put-In-Bay is a pretty quiet place after the season ends, and most restaurants are not open during the week if they are even open at all. Topsy Turvey is one of the exceptions -- it is usually open for lunch and dinner most days, and it is a local hangout of sorts. We took seats at the bar, and it was obvious that many of the people there were locals who knew one another. A couple of people obviously were not from there but had come from the mainland for the day to work on construction projects. Everyone was friendly and happy, and it was a nice environment to be part of. The bartender was busy serving food, pouring drinks, and talking people up, as a good bartender does, and he seemed to enjoy being there. He also seemed to know most of the people there. I ordered the perch platter, which came with fries and slaw, and my wife ordered a burger and onion rings. The food was great! My wife enjoyed her burger very much, and the onion rings were standard battered rings of deliciousness. The perch was delicious -- I could have that at least once a week and not get tired of it. The fries were fine -- nothing special, just normal fries. The slaw was very tasty, though slightly liquidy. Would I go back? I don't live in the area, so I doubt I will be back there any time soon. But if I am back on the island, I will definitely be back again. It was warm and inviting, and the food was great. What more do I need?

Dollar bills stapled to the wall. Patrons who wrote on them! We did too of course ;) Our server Lily was great. My husband and I each ordered a Brandy Alexander and we split the red pepper popper. The ranch dressing was yum as,a,dipping sauce. The poppers were a very good spicy. The Brandy Alexander was so delicious, we ordered another! Great afternoon to sit by the water, watch boats and people! Definitely recommend. Service was great on this Friday afternoon.

They have tons on tap and there are many that were new to me with the standards as well. The bartenders are so nice and helpful. They know the taps like no one's business and willingly share their knowledge. Their hours are stunted due to the ferry to get there but it is so worth it. I could take my kid and he loved it too!

The outdoor patio is chill and comfortable with plenty of seating as is the inside with the dining area and the massive bar.

We had some participants not attend, so we wanted to cancel the 4 person. The "owner" pretended to look at the computer and stated he had no 6 person carts available and he stated we ordered 2 - 4 person carts. (not true) Because we didn't cancel 24 hours in advance he would not let drop the 4 person. We didn't even reserve the carts 24 hours in advance. Truth is he did not have any 6 person carts available, so he made it like we ordered the wrong carts. Then he walked away and let a young kid deal with us. We took the two 4 person carts and made sure to let them know an appropriate review would be administered. We will not use his company again.
