Aye Aye Captain!

[real mad hatter]

Good Morning Land Lubbers!.. After reading this mornings review in Disney food blog. Captain Jacks at downtown got a awesome report and the pics of the food looked really good,especially the clambake. Anyway,I can count on one hand how many times Ive read any reports from this establishment. So have any of you been here recently,or in the past.How was your experience ?

Good morning Hatter. It looks pretty cool...but unless they flew in some Maryland boys to do the cookin', I wouldn't try the crab cakes...

 

[littleroo]

Unfortunately, not a fan. The food was some of the worst quality I have ever had in all of Disney! I really try to block it out! Maybe when they revamp it, it will be better? I will have to get a ton of recommendations to go back!

I'm going to have to read that blog (usually do at work to keep me sane), Cap'n Jacks doesn't seem to have a very good reputation, maybe it was given a rehab or something?

A refurb is unlikely at this point, as Cap'n Jacks is slated to close as part of the DTD transition to Disney Springs.
Enjoy it (or not) while you can.

well...so much for Cap'n Jacks

Wow... a good review? that's kind of shocking... Cap'n Jacks has always received such poor reviews, I've never bothered to even think about eating there... I think a lot of people feel that way, so maybe things have changed and no one noticed.. But I'm heading over to disney food blog to see this for myself!

It has never even made my radar when making a dining choice while at DTD. I just don't think even the most glowing review would put it in my rotation. When it comes to seafood, I'd like to KNOW the food will be good, not just hope.

 

[OswaldTheRabbit]

I am surprised it got such glowing reviews. The menu looks quite unexciting. I love reading the food blog but it is so slanted sometimes to the positive that I take it with a grain of salt. I did like how the writer mentioned they did not like it in the past but did this time.

SO Captain Jacks is on par with Hollywood and Vile

Well, in 2009, we enjoyed our meal there! We watched the water crafts and boat launches. Our waitress was so sweet- she gave the boys free glowing Buzz Light Years ( and they still work today!).
Overall, the food was OK. It's not really a place that I have to go to again, but I'm sad to see it go. Not sure if I'm all "on board" yet w/ this "Disney Springs" thing.

We went this past June with no expectations of the restaurant and all six of us enjoyed it. DH and I both had the crab cakes with asparagus and they was good. I guess I'm in the minority of those who enjoy Captain Jacks.

now were they as good as a Maryland Crab Cake? I think the ambiance would be good...dining on the waterfront...after a few drinks...I'd have a little clemency for the food...

the pot roast was most excellent. we had three kids under 6 there as well and they loved it.

I don't know if I've ever had a true Maryland Crab Cake, because I doubt the ones from the freezer section of my grocery store count

lol...no way...every crab cake I've ever had that wasn't in Maryland was more filler than crab...I stopped trying them
