Captains Corner - Kelleys Island, OH

$19.99 walleye dinner consisted of one piece of FROZEN(not from Lake Erie) fish fillet and a whole bunch of fries. The server explained the fish comes in frozen and they get cooked. I asked why it's not zippered, what's with the skin on it, and there's a ton of bone in it because no one zippered the fillet, how come? She had no idea what I was talking about. For an establishment that is on an Island out in Lake Erie to not be serving fresh Lake Erie Walleye and on top of it to not be preparing it correctly is mind-blowing. Plus one fillet? I could have gone to Jolly Rodgers instead. Back to my review. 6 of us including 3 hungry kids showed up at 2:45pm. No one took our order until 3:10ish. Food never arrived until 3:47 and it was cold. The Philly Cheesesteak had hair in it. And when asked for my receipt, the waitress had thrown it away. That's when I asked for the manager and told them this is really bad customer service and the food was not good. We never said anything the entire time we were there because that's just not how we are when we go out to eat. Treat us like bad guests and toss my receipt, well, that's when enough was enough. Waste of time, money, and food wasn't the standard I would have expected even for a quick bite to eat let alone a sitdown restaurant.

This place was wonderful! We enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience. The bartenders were attentive and prompt, the Margaritas were tasty, and the Mediterranean platter was yummy.

Today was my first time eating here. The food was wonderful. I had the baked crab Cakes and I can honestly say they were the BEST I have ever had. I also loved the fact that the music was loud enough to hear but you could still have table conversation and hear what was being said. Kudos. Our Servers were excellent. Thank you!

Captains Corner was one of our favorite places to eat during a recent visit to Kelleys Island. We had dinner on our first night and later returned for breakfast. The breakfast was solid, but I think I enjoyed the dinner more. I love a good buffalo chicken sandwich, and theirs was really good. A buttermilk fried chicken breast tossed in Buffalo sauce, topped with bleu cheese crumbles, lettuce, tomato, and onion served on a toasted bun ($12.99). The sauce was just spicy enough and I always enjoy having fresh bleu cheese crumbles on the sandwich! My wife enjoyed the cranberry pecan salad ($12.99 add chicken for $3). This combined fresh mixed greens, dried cranberries, crushed pecans, red onion, and feta cheese with a raspberry vinaigrette. The chicken was a nice addition, though probably not necessary for this tasty salad. Large chunks of feta added a nice creamy flavor to compliment the sweet flavors of the cranberry and raspberry dressing. Truthfully there aren't a ton of options on Kelleys Island, but Captains Corner was among the best we experienced.

The service was amazing and the bartender was great. This place gives them access to the stero system and they definitely use it. She made a first date a more wonderful experience by playing all the right songs. This great woman definitely has been there awhile because she was familiar with locals orders and names. Highly recommend going in while at kellys island.

Restaurant was dusty with multiple visible cobwebs. Bathrooms were decent. Took 45 minutes to get our food, which I realize lots of places are short staffed so possibly not their fault. Chips are thick and just taste fried, wasn’t impressed. Perch sandwich was good. Overall a mediocre experience.

Got the perch sandwich and fries special came with cold perch and potato chips not fries. I didnt even think about it untill i saw the sign on the way out. Our waitress came by a blond lady and I told her the coleslaw was not good she made a smart remark and took off. I told her she was rude. Actually the coleslaw was wilted and spoiled and the tarter sauce was just mayo. Never been treated like that ever. She acted like she owned it. Eating here was my mistake it was the villiage pump next door where I went 10 years ago their perch was awesome. I thought it was on the corner. My bad, my wife was hungry. Yes I did leave the 20 percent tip but this place will never get my money again.

My husband and I went for breakfast. I'm not sure what the gravy was made of but it had no flavor. Scrambled eggs were over cooked. Corn beef has was decent. Service was inattentive - maybe it was my Lions jersy🏈
