The vegetables sandwich that I ordered had so much oil but fortunately the bread soaked up some of it, so I just discarded the bread. My wife's salad with fish was very good. Also, the fruit served with my sandwich? Just perfectly ripe and enjoyable. One of the things that cracked me up here, being a laid back Texas boy, was over hearing all the incessant, noisy, nasal New York Jewish ladies whining, commiserating and ruminating with each other at the other tables. That was entertaining. I had thought about asking about the homemade desserts but the staff was slammed I guess cause no one came around to check on how things were going and if we needed anything else. Just as well. Counting calories. My tipping default would normally be 20% but today... not sure what I will leave lol.

A great value (before 11:30 weekdays) is the $8.95 egg breakfast which includes eggs your way, toast, potatoes and fruit.

We arrived early and then watched a steady stream of regulars come in... many greeting the waitstaff with hugs... always a great sign. Simply and tastefully decorated with a playful nautical theme. Comfortable. Since they're known for lobster, we ordered a couple of their 1.5 lb Steamed Lobsters with Baked Botatoes and Cole Slaw. The lobsters were hard-shell and perfectly steamed. Both of us enjoyed them, though they fell slightly short of the great ones we typically get at our favorite Boston spots... still very good. The sides were excellent. Our guest ordered the Eggplant Parm and said it was excellent. Dinners come with Soup or House Salad. I upgraded to a Caesar (+$3)... basic, but very good, with a dressing I really liked. Also tasted the Fish Chowder, which was very good as well. Bread was good. A wet nap was provided. Drives me crazy when I see this for lobsters, ribs, etc. I feel a proper hot wet towel would be more appropriate. Service from Brittany was excellent. RECOMMENDED

We'd remembered coming to this restaurant before, but it was in a different, larger and free-standing location. This restaurant is small and in the middle of a strip of stores. There's still ample parking right outside. Inside, the restaurant is cozy with tables and booths quite close to each other. We were there later than their early bird menu allowed, but we did look it over just for future reference. Prices for entrees are the same as on the regular menu, but in addition you also get your choice of soup or salad as well as coffee and dessert. When we arrived, there were several couples enjoying the last of this discounted option. I'd been craving lobster. There was a fra diabolo lobster special on the black board, but I didn't want pasta nor spicy. Asking about the various regular lobster choices, the server told us about the basics on up to a (huge) 5-pounder -- that she suggested we could share. I wasn't hungry enough to warrant the starting price of almost $40 so I passed on getting lobster. They brought out a small loaf of warm bread, complimentary. And took our drink orders right away. Instead of a full meal, we each started with a cup of their soup. I had their clam chowder which was thick and creamy. My husband had their tomato-based fish chowder. I tasted his soup. And his was better. He wasn't hungry after the soup, so he just had a gorgonzola salad. He said the salad -- he added blue cheese dressing (!) --was very good. I tried their soft shell crab appetizer. It was two small crabs sauteed in garlic butter. Even though it was a small portion, it was quite tasty. I was happy that they offered an option other than fried, as well. Service was excellent throughout -- friendly and personable -- even though it was quite busy on a Friday night. My husband enjoyed a glass of sauvignon blanc with his food; I just got a soda which they refilled. And they were nice enough to let us taste their coconut cake dessert (one of the early bird options). We'd certainly come back again in the future. And I'll be keeping my eye open for when they offer their lobster specials, again.

The food was delicious - 3 of us had the fish and chips and we all loved it. Done perfectly - and the fish was fresh and moist. The reason for a 4 and not a 5 is two fold. The prices are a bit high. But I guess the location can get the higher prices. The other was where we were seated. We were outside but near a metal ramp. The work staff repeatedly came by with metal carts and made no attempt to go up the ramp slowly or quietly. The clanging was loud enough to stop our conversation every time. I will most likely go back but I will be sure not to sit next to that metal ramp again!

It went exceptionally well. The drinks were phenomenal. Not just "good for the neighborhood," but genuinely creative, balanced, and memorable. The service was warm, polished, and somehow managed to be both attentive and relaxed at the same time. The kind of service that makes you feel like you picked the right place. And the food? Every single dish we ordered was absolutely dialed in. Not one weak link. No filler. No "that was fine, I guess." Just plate after plate of exactly what it should be.

The husband-and-wife owners are clearly hands-on... stopping by tables, checking in with guests, and keeping a watchful eye on everything. It's obvious they care and truly want you to have a great time here. I called for a reservation and it was basically sold out... when they said they could take me at 5pm, I grabbed it. Was actually perfect as I was heading over to see the tennis tournament after dinner. On arrival, the place was empty. As expected, when we left, it was completely full. A half bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay was perfect with my lobster. The wine list isn't extensive, but it's well chosen and fairly priced. The food was excellent across the board. A special of Scallops, Crab Cake, topped with Shrimp over Vegetables was fantastic. My guest enjoyed the Clams Oreganata. I loved my Baked Stuffed Lobster (stuffed with crab), served with amazing Mashed Potatoes... and bonus points for a real hand towel after the lobster. Of course, I had to try the key lime pie... very good. Now I understand why this casual, unassuming spot is so popular... it hits on every note. I noticed a bunch of regulars dining at the bar, which looked perfect to me. The bar is walk-in only... so next time I don't have dinner plans, I'll remember I can just walk in and try for a seat. I'm sure I'll see two familiar faces... the owners, Anthony and Christine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I recently came back with a friend for oysters, clams, and drinks, and we sat at the bar for the evening. The oysters, clams, and mussels were absolutely delicious. I originally ordered a Grey Goose martini before realizing they only serve beer and wine, so I switched to a Chardonnay, which was great. The experience was nostalgic in the best way. I know the ownership has changed since I first came here, but I was so happy to hear the cook is still the same! It really brought back memories. We had a fun night overall -- although I may have slightly annoyed the bartender by asking her to take photos of us (they didn't come out too well under the lighting). Before we left, another server kindly helped us take a few away from the lights, and those turned out much better. All in all, I'm really glad I came back to give J and J's another whirl. The food was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was warm and nostalgic, and it reminded me why I loved this place to begin with. You should give it a try too!

I seem to always crave seafood when it rains. I tried the website with no luck. It would show specials and then take me to the menu but when trying to place an order it would redirect me to page that shows other locations. I call in order and it's maybe 2 minutes start to finish - no pleasantries but efficient. I get inside within the time frame and food already packed aside with my name and receipt. I pay and I'm out. The packaging dims the smell but I drive home eager to get into my crawfish. I ordered pound of crawfish, juicy special medium that includes corn and potato. I got pound of crawfish, garlic lemon pepper butter, something milder than medium, two eggs, potato, and corn. All good just no heat. (For some reason only a much older receipt is attached to review.) That order was perfect, the costumer service was horrendous. Service not great now but it shows improvement.

There was free parking in front. Besides cases of fresh fish they had produce, meat, pasta, homemade soups, sauces, and frozen items. I thought the prices were high. I bought two swordfish steaks, they were $29.99 per pound.; my two fillets cost $39.59 for 1.32 lbs. All of the fish fillets were $30 a pound and up. I think this is more expensive than Whole Foods and the Boys Fish Market. I grilled the fish and it was delicious, fresh, sweet and juicy. It didn't seem like we ate more than a half a pound each. I won't be going back to Captain Frank's again.
