I am fortunate to have been introduced to Captain Curt’s through my wife’s family. One visit is all it took to see why they are fans . It is a unique and fun restaurant that never fails to exceed expectations. The food is always amazing, live music next door is great. Seating provides for people watching, and the store will send you home with reminders of your experience. Highly recommend Captain Curt’s!

We ordered food to go. The kids meal fish sticks were like the frozen kind you get at the grocery store. We ordered the Seafood Extraganza. The menu said it included clam strips. Got back to vacation condo to enjoy our “feast” no clam strips. I called the restaurant, the lady who answered said “you must have been looking at an old menu,” well I was ordering from the website menu…

We had the clam chowder soup which they are famous for. It was great! We also shared a file fish basket. Never had file fish before. It was very good.

After a recommendation from a relatives friend, we stopped by while on a vacation night in Sarasota. The service was stellar, food and drinks came out quickly and was hot and fresh. All the food was good but I could have eaten a vat of the clam chowder!
So tasty, full of clams, and a rich mouth feel that is rare with restaurant chowder.
The fried pickles were amazing too!
Karinna was our server, and she helped us find just what we wanted both food and drink wise. Give that girl a raise !

Captain Curt’s was a gem hidden in plain sight. Food was awesome, games playing on the big screen and the breeze off the ocean made it perfect. Really had a great lunch. Seafood extravaganza was a giant fried seafood plate, everything was delicious however the star of the show was the clam chowder. I tend to be skeptical when dishes are labeled best in the world however I agree one hundred percent, that clam chowder was so good!! Drinks were strong too, strawberry banana daiquiri was recommended and didn’t disappoint. This will be my first stop on our trip back to Siesta.

Great place to eat close to the beach. Portions were large, service was excellent, and the food was great. Very nice selection of fish and dont forget to get the Clam Chowder! Probably the best I’ve had here in Florida. Tons of clams and great creamy flavor! You can also purchase it to take home at the gift shop near the restaurant!!

We were seated right away and our server Jaimie came and welcomed us with 2 waters almost instantly.
I got the fried seafood combo and it was AMAZING !
Hubby ordered the fisherman’s platter and he said it was perfect.
Food came out fast and piping hot. The fries were so hot and crispy plus plentiful. Highly recommend this place.
