Captain's Inn - Seafood restaurant in Forked River - 304 E Lacey Rd, USA

All-around delicious dining experience! Creative menu includes seafood, steak, and chicken options. Dessert portions are shareable. Very busy in the summer, reservation’s recommended.

Coming to the Captain's Inn tiki bar always reminds me of summer. The nice breezes by the river, the boats coming and going, the outdoor experience and live music, this is pinnacle of summer for me! The burger was amazing, and for the price the crab cake was also very good. Very decent price for a dozen clams which probably were still in the water earlier that day. If you really want to feel summertime, come out here, play, eat and stay for the live music. Definitely try to catch the naked apes, they are amazing!

We were there for an event in the main restr. (not the waterfront tiki bar they own across the street - which is Very popular, esp. in the summer!), in the large, back, reception room. Service was Wonderful, accommodating, friendly, fast (which is hard to find these days!) Food was Delish. Everyone at my 8-top table loved their meals. It is an Older, well-known place. A local classic, give it a try!

Food was good but not great. Taste was good but portions were smaller than last time I was there. My clam was hiding under a green bean. Stuffed flounder hardly had any stuffing, and fish was small. The scallops were plenty and flavorful but had no char on them. Baked potatoe was small and dry. All in all it was a good meal not great and expensive. I'll come again in the off-season. It was much better. Service was very good.

Never a bad meal here and have been going to the Captains Inn my whole life. Today I got the shrimp and giant cheese ravioli in Vodka sauce. Was delicious!

Our family dinner was delicious. Our service was warm and friendly, the seafood was delicious and the view was relaxing!

This place is right next to the water, so you would hope all their seafood was fresh. That's EXACTY! what it was. I ordered the mariners platter, and it did not disappoint. The flounder fish was well seasoned crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The shrimp and scallops were amazing. And for the fried clams, they were slightly dry but dip them in tartar sauce, and it's on a different level!. Our server was amazing and constantly starting conversations with us. She gave off amazing vibes and even recommended us the best items and appetizers. And lastly, the atmosphere, it's more of a laid-back old-school type of design, but the paintings and crafts throughout the place were magnificent to look at. Overall, I would give this place a 9/10 definitely recommend!!

Went here for our anniversary and we were seated very close to a table of about 25 people. Some of the people were gathered standing quite close to our table yacking and there were 2 kids out of control running around. It ruined our dining experience. We returned a year later and had a completely different experience. Everything was perfect and delicious.
