My mom thinks this place sounds like heaven -keep in mind that her version of heaven is big plates of fried food, then they bring it to the table and she says "I don't know why they give you so much food. I can't possibly eat it all.":lol:
Anyway, is it an awful tourist trap, or is it decent? As good as Nick's in the Sticks?
Any tips?

Aww, c'mon, Captain Anderson's in an institution. I once had an excellent broiled flounder there. I have also had mediocre fried stuff. Everyone should do it once;if for no other reason to watch the humanity, poke around the marina and see what it was like to dine out in the 1970s. :wave:
I'll put it on my list for the Spring....who's in? :wave:

I'll do it, nothing like 30-40 sowallers causing kane in a "fine" dining establishment. Maybe we can actually blow a wall out.

jdarg...Mr. K and I have discussed going to this place for decades. We just have never made it because people tell us to get there at like 4 pm! I think it is Southern Living that always ranks it as the # 1 restaurant in the area. :idontno:

Sounds like I should go for nostalgia reasons. But I am really hoping I can talk her in to Nicks in the sticks.
Thanks for everyone's comments and ideas!

I think everyone should go at least once. We always went when I was a child so it brings back fun memories for me!
It was good back then, it has gone downhill considerably over the last 5 years.

sowalgayboi, on behalf of Franny, I am offended that you refer to her childhood as "back then." :nono1:

I have to agree with JOe. I took my 80 year old parents there last year. They loved the fish docks and the 'supper club' atmosphere which made them feel at home. It was a blast of the past and quite a good one. The cocktails were real cocktails and the dinner was great. It is not Cafe 30-A, but my folks were a little iffy about the fancy food when we went there.
I say go there and love it for what it is!:wub:

Mom will love it. Maybe she won't have to give the server step by step instructions on how to make her gin and tonic.😀

Does mimi need a date? All this talk about fresh seafood, and I'm getting hungry. I don't mind hanging out with snow birds either, and I am very patient, unless I'm hungry. Maybe we should leave SoWal around 3pm.

Do we really have to do this? :shock: 3 PM? What time do snowbirds go to bed? Like 7?
