Great place for large parties / events. Celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday at Captain Joe’s in midway. We had over 60 people and they did an amazing job with the room, service, and food. It is hard to serve this many people, but everything came...out quickly and was delicious. If you are having a large event in Hinesville / Midway / Richmond Hill, I would use Captain Joe’s.More

Was not pleased with the restaurant policy..charge of $12.. salad bar which we didn't want in order to split a full meal . Wife has a condition where she has to eat small amounts. It was a $26.95 meal . Plus $12 for salad bar...we didn't want. Plate sharing charges are never more than $5, usually $3. Most restaurants do not charge. Though the food was good WILL NOT go back.More

The food is marginal, the service is terrible. $30 seafood platter was supposed to have broiled shrimp, mine were all fried. The shrimp were all tiny “popcorn” shrimp. “Loaded” baked potato was a potato with cheese melted over it, no butter, no bacon, no chives,...no sour cream. Had to ask for silverware. Had to ask for the sour cream for the potato. She did leave the pitcher at the table so we could refill our drinks. Wife had the salmon, the seasoning on it was good but they cooked the fillet to death so it was super dry. Dinner for 2 was $75 with tip(she didn’t deserve it but I tipped regardless) This included the salad bar, dinner, sweet tea and banana pudding from the salad bar, no alcohol. I’ve lived in the area 15 years and always heard good things about Captain Joes and I guess if that’s all you’ve ever had you don’t know any different but for us it was a one and done - we won’t be backMore

Outstanding! The food, the service, the soup & salad bar…all outstanding! We had planned on stopping at place closer to the interstate. However, it was closing around the time we got there. So, a random search on google and we found Captain Joe’s. We are...so happy we stopped here. I got the oysters. My husband got the blackened redfish. We also got an order of clams. Everything was hot and delicious. Top notch. The salad bar was fantastic. I tried som of their chili on the soup part of the salad bar. When I noticed it used red kidney beans, I was happy. I only like red kidney beans or black beans in my chili. I got just enough to try. I could have just eaten that, it was so good. The waitress was delightful. Her personality and love for her job was great. She is a great front of the house person for Captain Joe’s. Lily was our waitress. She deserves a ten star rating out of five! If we are in this area again, we will definitely stop here. We can’t say enough good about this place.More

this restaurant is by far superior than the one in Jesup. The fod is hot, , excellent flavor, and the quantity for the price is exceptional. The Sea Scallops and Fantail shrimp were to die for. So tender and juicey. The head waitress has been...there for years and every time we go there we get great service and excellent food. We went to the one in Jesup when they were closed for covid. The food was poor and the service was poor also. We waited for over 15 minutes for our drinks and another over 45 minutes for the food. We almost walked out before the food came. I asked for the sea scallops and got the bay scallops. The scallops were chewy and barely warm. Same for the fantail shrimp my husband ordered.More

Solid old school local spot. Very fresh seafood, nice salad bar and reasonable prices. Not much to look at if you are driving by, but worth a visit. Excellent service as well.

We have driven past this restaurant a number of times when using US11 for relief from I-95, but finally found ourselves there when we need a lunch break. We found it welcoming and offering good home-cooked seafood and other choices. It doesn't sell beer, wine...or other alcohol but we were told that BYOB is acceptable. On a quiet February midweek day, a steady stream of people stopped in. Most appeared local to the area. Our meals - fantail shrimp and lunch portion of grilled fish - were just right for our requirements at the time and excellent value. Service was helpful and prompt. Options include a salad bar which was clearly popular although we did not visit it. A pleasant experience on a stretch of road which doesn't offer many eating options.More
