Why Travelers Love CAPTAIN RIBS
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The food was delicious, the ribs were amazing, the staff were warm and friendly. The service was great. The ambiance was relaxing 10/10. Would recommend. It was such a great evening. The staff are amazing and the restaurant itself is gorgeous. We sat outside. DONT SLEEP ON THE CHEESE STICKS - they were yummy. The ribs were lovely and the chicken cordon bleu was also fantastic. Would recommend. The BBQ sauce was nothing special, the meat was dry and bland, and it was clear the food wasn’t fresh. The fries were soggy and greasy, only halfway edible after dumping salt on them. They even burned the garlic rice. The ice cream was the only thing that didn’t suck. Total waste of time and money.

The food was awesome! I had their famous ribs with mashed potatoes. The Nicoise salad was super fresh and had a unique take on a seafood salad. Their Cheese Stick and Chicken Quesadilla appetizers were equally delicious! There were two friendly cats there named Niko and Mimi. Make sure to say hi to them when you visit. The staff was really nice, and the atmosphere was chill and relaxing.

I used to live near the area so I would pass by this place and get curious. I finally decided to give it a shot and I was happy to say that the ribs are really good. Laid back place and it doesnt get crowded, my friend and I had a lovely time ❤️
