Captain Woody's has moved to a new locale with a few more seats and a private outdoor area (as opposed to sharing it with two other restaurants in Palmetto Marina). While I will miss the fishing harbor atmosphere this location is a definite step up. Great grouper, fresh flounder and properly prepared shrimp means Woody's hits the mark most of... More

We were on our way to another restaurant, took a wrong turn, and happened upon Captain Woody's. Since it didn't appear to be overcrowded, we decided to give it a try. We waited about 30 minutes, which is what we were given as an estimated wait time. We were greeted by a friendly waitress, who provided timely and accurate service... More

I came to this place because of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor with my family. There was a bit of a wait because the place is small (Target Rd). My shrimp and fish were cook perfect (not big portions like a review stated for $18.99 price) fries were gross and chips from someone else in my party were rubbery.... More

We were given the recommendation for Captain Woody's because I am always in search of a good blackened grouper sandwich. Their most popular grouper sandwich (which I ordered based on the claim on their menu) was fried, which I decided to try, but fried grouper is not my cup of tea. It was huge, though - I couldn't even finish... More

We ate at Captain Woody's several times during our visit to Bluffton. The food was always good and the restaurant has nice atmosphere. The service was good and it's a convenient location with plenty of parking. Will go back again next time we are in Bluffton.

Now at 6 Target road just off Palmetto Bay rd near Publix, Walgreens & 5 Guys. Just as good as the old location now with lots of seating outside. A great menu with sandwiches, appetizers as well as dinner entrees. A fun place . Need more parking spaces but can park nearby and walk. Well worth trying.

This is a new location for a long established HHI restaurant. The new place is very nicely done and more spacious than the old and the Grouper Sandwich continues to be excellent. The Fish Taco Appetizer was a meal and not one you can pick up like a taco since it is loaded.

Congratulations to Captain Woody's on their new location on Target Road. Spacious, lot's of parking, a nice outside bar/deck and a nice gift shop. You can't go wrong with the beer/drinks and the atmosphere; inside or out. The food is loaded with grease. Southern cooking has graduated from butter, cream and grease. Drink up; just skip the food.
