Sometimes everything aligns and you just have an epic dinner. It was a slow Sunday night. Plenty of seating on the patio by the water. We just had a great time cracking crab legs enjoying the music, water, and seagulls. We got the Couples Fest and one spicy crab cake. We also tried the sweet potato cheesecake. Everything was delicious! Service was very attentive and super nice. It’s not fancy. I loved that they put paper on the table so you can really spread out and eat your crab legs.

Service was great, food was good, bathroom was clean. They could use some fly zappers . Our waitress was very attentive. She came over several times to make sure that we were okay. We ordered a couple of Cruzan bucket that were strong and delicious. This is my second time here and they are consistently a great choice. Come during the day and enjoy the water view if you dont like dark roads!

Great spot on the water! Captain Billy’s Seafood Restaurant has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere with beautiful waterfront views—perfect for a laid-back lunch or sunset dinner. The service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable, which made the experience feel like a good value. The food and drinks were okay—nothing over the top, but solid and satisfying, especially if you’re in the mood for classic seafood. The menu is extensive, so I plan to come back to try other items. Overall, it’s the kind of place you go for the scenery and chill vibe as much as the meal. I’d definitely return for the views, the breeze off the water, and the easygoing setting.

I hate when I have to give a “less than” great review. This spot may be great for some, but for me it’s a no. I’m not saying don’t go, because everyone tastebuds aren’t the same. My mother in law and I went to lunch to celebrate our birthdays and this is where she wanted to go. We both ordered the Waterman’s platter that comes with 2 sides, 4 crab leg clusters, 6 whole crabs and a 1lb of shrimp for $100. That’s an amazing price. However, the taste was lacking big time! Barely any seasoning, the shrimp stuck to the shell, the meat was hard to get out of the clusters, the spinach was chopped possibly frozen but decently seasoned, the applesauce tasted straight out of a can with chunks of apple-no cinnamon no nothing! Crabs tasted boiled or steamed in straight water- no beer, no seasoning-nothing. I guess thats why a lot of older people prefer this spot because it taste like nursing home food. The crab dip was more cheese than crab and the hushpuppies, I just didn’t like. Comes with honey and butter in condiment packets…tiny packets. The melted butter for your crabs is not real butter-sent me straight to the bathroom it was so oily. I ended up eating 2 whole crabs and 1 cluster. Took the rest home to my husband who didn’t complain until he got to work and text me: those crabs sucked…and them hushpuppies too. He didn’t even touch the shrimp because he couldn’t get the shell off. I know this is a well known spot and has been around for a long time, but yall need to change some things..like your cook(s) and the quality of seafood and/or how it’s being prepared.
Food plus 2 sodas came to $295 which included an automatically added handwritten gratuity of $49. First off, I don’t recall being advised of that, secondly, I know how to add my own tip and last- you short yourself because I normally tip above. The added tip was about 22% for 2 people. Service was fast but I can’t say it worthy of the higher end. She wasn’t that friendly or accommodating. Nevertheless, I paid the bill without complaints. My mother in law may be back but I won’t.

Wonderful place. The waitress was a sweetheart. The food came out pretty quickly. The view of the river was beautiful, especially at sunset.

Was in town for a weekend trip and happened across this place. Looking for a local place near the water with seafood – Captain Billy’s to the rescue. Great seafood…local flavor…on the water…perfect cocktails…and seasoned waitstaff that’s efficient with a smile. We loved this place and you will too.

-I was in town from Florida visiting my family and friends and we came to Captain Billy’s because it was a place we frequented when we lived here. The food was so good because seafood in Florida isn’t great. The service from Stephanie was phenomenal she was the best! And the views were magnificent!!!

We were visiting the area and wanted good seafood. Captain Billy’s did not disappoint! Our crab legs, crab ball appetizers, and fried platter were amazing!! My 3 favorite things (hard to choose) were the crab legs, scallops, and crab cake. We will definitely try to come back. Wonderful service as well from a nice young man. Thank you all at Captain Billy’s!
