The food cooked and seasoned with perfection. The service was excellent, just good down home hospitality. Great atmosphere over looking the Potomac River. Great place to go and relax anytime. Me and my family loved it.

Very good food, all you can eat crab legs and shrimp , filled ne up. Angela was very nice , she was Johnny on the spot, kept tea full, food coming, always.m checking g on us. Will be back again.

Had and early dinner today celebrating my son’s birthday. He had the All U Can Eat crab which were small but meaty and sweet. I enjoyed the seafood platter special. I forgot my soft shelled crab and crabcake on the table which was very disappointing.????????????????

My husband, two friends, and myself went to Captain Charles last night for dinner and the crabs were AMAZING!!! The price you can't beat $39.99. Best crabs we've had in years. Angela is a wonderful waitress - kept the hot crabs and drinks coming!! Never had a cold crab. We'll be going back next week with more friends.

All u can eat crabs on a Monday are where it's at! Nice healthy sized crabs that were full of meat and cooked to perfection. Angela was the icing on the cake that took great care of us! Never had to ask for more crabs, she knew when we needed them. Kept our drinks full and was always walking around with a smile. Just what you need after the start of a work week!

Crabs are small but meaty... customer service great... being by the water and watching the sunset was excellent

Man... The fried oysters alone worth the visit.... And the Bartender was a Baddie too!

Food and staff was great!

Very tasty. Nice views. We'll be going back

My wife and I went there for lunch on a Saturday. We showed up around and noon and we were the only people in the restaurant (granted first week of November).

The staff were very nice and we were treated promptly. The menu prices were pretty much on par with all other seafood joints (maybe even slightly cheaper).

Growing up in St Mary's Co I thought we had some of the best seafood places but the food here was absolutely amazing! We had the crab dip, rockfish sandwich and shrimp Po boy. Everything was well portioned for a full meal with leftovers.

Only complaint was the booth seating was a little rough and could use some refinishing. Other than that, great place to eat!

Always a beautiful and enjoyable experience

We are frequent customers at Captain Charles and we love the crabs here especially at this time of year! The crabs are full, sweet and meaty! I am hoping we get to have a few more feasts (for a reasonable price) before the season comes to an end for the Winter months. See you soon Charles!

Good food and atmosphere the crabs are full and sweet and a great server !!

loved it great experience sitting by the water eating crabs

The fundraiser was cute......but service was cruddy.....

We had mussels and a dozen medium crabs. Everything was exceptional, and they carry Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, so that was a plus. Excellent experience! Thank you!

I had crabs and shrimp ???? the crabs were very good.. they were nice and hot and fresh.. The shrimp were large and seasoned.
The service was great ???? I will be back for more crabs ????

The scallops were spot on. Shrimp poboy was excellent.

Beautiful place.
Very good waitress.
The Rise Band and Show was excellent

We had crabs so of course the price per person is high. It was all you can eat crabs. They were small but heavy.

Very nice restaurant. Friendly service. Outside dining by the water is an option. Live entertainment is available at times.

First time going, great place me and my sis enjoyed every minute of it. Our server was a young man name Tay and he was amazing! He was on point with everything. We had the hush puppies and the all you can eat crabs. This place was a little different from most all you can eat crab places. Most places the all you can eat crabs comes with a side of hush puppies but here you have to purchase separately and they only give you four in on order . The crabs where delicious and meaty and oh so juicy . I also had the Blue Water fish bowl drink it was good and strong like I like it. We went on a day they had a party outside and a Dj and live band. Will definitely visit again but not for them little orders of hush puppies like seriously what grown adult my size only eats four hush puppies lol

Had a great time with friends & my girl Karena treated us right!!! Will be back soon!!

Great location by the water! Plenty of parking available in front of the restaurant. We ordered the all you can eat crabs, wings, and the seafood sampler. The crabs are not heavily seasoned like some other crab places though pretty tasty. The wings flavored well and were nice and crispy. We also enjoyed the seafood sampler which had a buffalo flavored fried shrimp, fried shrimp, crab balls, and fried oysters. I will definitely be going again.

I loved the dine in experience...

It was a perfect day. Was not busy and service was great. All the crabs was good and meaty. Was no waiting for more crabs.

THIS PLACE IS NICE , CLEAN AND FRIENDLY. HAD CRABBIE BUCKET CRAB LEGS, SHRIMP, HUSH PUPPIES ,CORN AN FRIES. FOOD WAS GREAT AND THE BAND MADE ME WIGGLE... BE BACK SOON !

Nice place to eat by the water, also not much traffic at all.

Overall experience 10/10, the entire staff was friendly and welcoming! Crabs were juicy & meaty. The fact that they provide you with everything needed to make your own "crab sauce" iykyk!!! The price for all-you-can-eat was perfect! Will definitely be back.

Great service. Savory food. I will be back with friends

Everything is always hot and the service is excellent and I love to come one weekends

It was our first time there and we were pleasantly pleased. I had crabs and one was mushy and the manager gave me 3, more! We also, lucked up on live entertainment. We will most definitely go again!

Seafood always great

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Loved it

(review is for the marina) Charles is one amazing guy and is incredibly trustworthy. If I lived closer, this spot would be marina in a heartbeat. Charles recognized I was being hustled at my marina for a very expensive repair (8k quote); he was nice enough to offer his services for 2.5k, and even trailering the boat there & back (my marina near Annapolis) - simply incredible.

Charles has incredible ethics, trustworthiness, and is just an all around stand-up guy! Thank you for all that you've done.

The food there is amazing too!

Has great seafood great customer service

Food was absolutely delicious, and drinks were perfect... exceptional service!

New name, same restaurant. Excellent Seafood cooked too perfection. I usually use either tartar sauce, but had no need at Capt. Charles Highly recommended!

The staff is great

Food was good, went on a Sunday they seem to be out of a lot of items

Good food. Good staff and location is amazing

The rockfish with crabmeat is great

10 bucks less than across the street for the same thing. I chose to save money and have a good time eating crabs.

Food is good...had the crab soup and the seafood sampler, green beans were a little hard. Food is good....lil pricey...but prices are going up everywhere these days. River backs up to the restaurant.....friendly service....nice area.

Owner Capt Charles welcomed us at dock and offered for his staff to go down the street to fill our propane tank while we ate. Food was very good, waitstaff was excellent, and live music outstanding. Will return.

Had a great time but it was very expensive

Nice place good music and good food.

Great atmosphere and the food is delicious!! Attentive staff, too!

Good food, lots of outdoor dining space, attentive servers

This is your normal great seafood experience in southern Maryland and I recommend it. The steamed shrimp was my favorite!

Love it... food is great, outside seating by the water is by far the best especially qhen eating crabs I highly recommend!!

There was a live band and the food was great

Good food. Good view.

When we go to Captain Charles, we always have a good time. I went for the crab feast which was discounted on Monday. The crabs are always good & the service stellar.

The food was delicious. The service was great. This will be my go to spot.

I had a seafood dinner & my friends all had crabs. Everybody was happy....

Nice atmosphere and all u can eat crabs

Food & staff always great

I didn't like the scallop appetizer which had a weird taste, but the chicken wings were deliciously seasoned and cooked well!

The shrimp salad was great & the crabs are cooked perfectly. The waitress Jaime was excellent and kept on top of our drinks and extra condiments. My only complaint is we ordered and paid for extra large crabs but we got medium to large. Maybe they were extra large compared to the rest of their inventory but certainly not worth "extra large" price. Otherwise my lunch was more than satisfactory.

Great atmosphere right on the water!!

Great food, atmosphere very nice. Owner and staff very friendly and professional. Definitely worth visit.

We like to come here frequently and normally it's uneventful. The have live music which was pretty good. Our waiter was great, but for some reason my husband's food came out 15 minutes before mine. Not good. By the time I got my food he was finished eating. The waiter was very apologetic and said they had to redo my food. That was after the wait. We did speak to the manager and she was gracious about it, which is the reason why we stayed. Even though I asked for no salt or seasoning on the food I ordered it just came out with Old Bay on everything. At this point I was starving so I ate it. Like I said earlier normally a visit here is uneventful however this time they ran into some issues. While I hope it's a one-time thing I will definitely be back. This is a great spot if you want to come get some good seafood and listen to a live band they have outdoor seating and indoor seating staff is pretty friendly and they have a bar area.

The food was delicious and everyone left with full bellies but what really made the day was our waitress Boo! She was by far the best we've ever had. We will definitely be going back and definitely asking for BOO!!!

We go to Capt Charles often and the crabs are great

Great food

Great seafood! Crab cake is delicious!

The all you can eat crabs was good. It was my birthday 8/1/21, I really enjoyed myself. Thanks Omar (Server/Waiter)!!!!

Enjoyed my food and also after eating sitting in the outdoor seating area having some cocktails listening to music. I always enjoy my visit. If I didn't live 80 miles from the restaurant I would defintly come more ofton

Great place for family

Had a wonderful time from the hostess, owner, service, food, and atmosphere. I will defined return with my family. Please go. You wont be disappointed.

The food was FABULOUS, and the staff was friendly and attentive! BEST onion rings and Hush Puppies hands down!

Great Food

Happened to be visiting Cobb island the food was delicious the crabs were humongous

Food and live music on the Potomac!!! Great atmosphere..

The crabs were delicious, drinks were refreshing, and the service was spectacular!

I got the all you can eat crabs.. Oh my goodness they were some kind of good!! This was my first time there but it won't be my last!!

Over all a good experience, needs to be reorganized, order was messed up, we had 4 different waitress, before the organial girl. We finally got the crab dip, hush puppies at the of the meal. I think it would be best that the one waitress who takes your order complete the experience. I know it was very busy saturday afternoon but you need to do something to cut down the confusion of the wait staff. Great band, with awesome vocals. Hopefully by next visit things will be worked out.

Great food and drinks. I'll be back.

Loved the crabs on the small side but meaty.

Great atmosphere....enjoyed the live music and outdoors setting by the water.

Nice atmosphere good crabs, if you're down for a nice here's your spot

(Translated by Google) Very good attention and delicious food

Went to Captain Charles Seafood House for the first time after reading about it in the Maryland Independent, my husband and I enjoyed a great meal. We will be going back and we send our friends there.

The seafood was great the hospitality of the people the workers was great the music was great I had a nice time it was beautiful

Jaimi and the wait staff were excellent servers with a , food was scrumptious especially the shrimp (freshwater)

I went to captain charles tonight seafood buffet the crabs were great and and crab balls chicken everything were good as Arnold Schwarzenegger says I'll be back

Service was great and food came out hot and quick. I got the buffet which was pretty good and stocked. Crabs are included in the buffet! Food was flavorful and tea was sweet!

Great local place for amazing crabs and food!!

We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. This spot was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. The staff members were very polite and we had a great feeling. The food was just great. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We recommend this place to all.

The staff is very polite, attentive, and will answer any and all questions you may have about the menu. Everything I saw that came out of the kitchen was beautiful and smelled phenomenal. It's a place you can take your family or just go for a date night.

Great service great sea food

Meal was hot and delicious!

I absolutely liked their dishes and customer service, excellent location close to my residence. The staff members are always nice. Will visit here again.

We came the week after opening from COVID-19. With new regulations it will take some getting used to but they're handling the adjustment well. Tables are all outside and spaced very well out. You need to wear a mask walking to your table for social distancing requirements but can take it off when you sit down. We sat right on the water and it was absolutely perfect! I would also say our server, Jamie, was running everything, bartender / server / food runner. They were short staffed and running low on food options but she was fantastic! We had a bunch of apps and she was honest and efficient letting us know what they were out of and what she recommended. She did a great job accommodating us. We'd definitely come back to see her again!

That place is amazing !!their service is fantastic !!!and their food is delicious!!! and the owner and the GM are so nice and go out of their way to please each and every guest that walks in that establishment. If you haven't been there yet you definitely need to try it and it looks so beautiful and clean.

Awesome place! Im from out of town so my family brought me here for some good crab. We had dinner outside at a picnic table, apparently theyve added a lot of outdoor seating recently (probably because of covid), which will be awesome when the tiki bar opens up again. Service was great, everyone was nice, food came relatively fast, but it wasnt super busy. The crab was delicious, which was the most important part, and you cant go wrong with a Rum Bucket to wash it all down! Ive heard that the food is better here than at the other seafood restaurant down the street but I havent compared the two myself. The other sides we ordered were all good, mostly fried stuff so theyre hard to mess up, but the tater tots were notably well made. Great view. I would definitely go again.

Great food.. we had everything from the seafood platter to steamed crabs..Everything was Excellent..

We go to Capt Charles often and the crabs are great

We were the only ones in the restaurant, order steamed crabs they were large Male crabs. WOW they were loaded with meat, I ate 5 of the 12 and I think I had 4 pounds of meat in those 5 crabs. They were delicious and hot out the pot. Service was great and the cook even came out of the kitchen and ask how the crabs were. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. It was our 50th Wedding Anniversary and was a very pleasant way to celebrate !!!

Great food every time! Highly recommend

5 Stars EXCELLENT SERVICE FOOD WAS AWESOME

Very thing was delicious

Was heading to captain johns seafood when we seen this place called captain Charles seafood across the street...the food is really good and our waitress was awesome I believe her name was Sara im glad we went here instead of captain johns seafood.

Crabs were full and delicious! Going during the week the deals are better!

Food is excellent and the atmosphere is great

Great food great service. Next best thing to family.

Love this place!

Good food and music

This is a top notch restaurant. The service is was excellent as well as the food. I can honestly say that they have the best crabs I have ever eaten. we will be returning very soon.

Awesome... my new Friday Spot. Excellent customer service and nice price for good crabs.

Excellent seafood! A little pricey but worth every cent. Best Broiled fish I have ever had!!

Judy - the manager made our drinks. Superb (and strong!). Shannon was our server. 100% would recommend and go back next year when we visit.

The food was the best seafood Ive ever had. So good!

I actually love the food and service, awesome location nearby to where I live. The employees are always super nice. Will come visit again.

Crabs and services was amazing

This place is awesome! Good pricing, large portions and the staff members are regularly very kind.

Good food and fair amounts of seafood for the price. I would definitely go there again.

Best service and best food. Always enjoy ourselves. The owners are very friendly!

When it comes to dining out. Especially these days. Nobody wants to spend a fortune for mediocre food and unmemorable service. This is the first review I’ve ever posted. I’m ecstatic to say I received Perfect service. My Server Christine is obviously very experienced. As I’ve been in food service in one way form or fashion 24 yrs. now. Great attitudes throughout the building, clean, in compliance with COVID-19 regulations. I had a sampler with 3 crab leg clusters, and shrimp. Never been so impressed!!!! Great Job and best suggestion ever Christine! Thank You

We got a bushel of crabs and two pounds of shrimp from here last Friday. Both WERE DELICIOUS!!! We could not find any in Colonial Beach. I'm now glad we couldn't . The staff was very friendly and helpful. They asked what time we were getting there and they had everything ready when we arrived. They were using best practices with covid in mind by wearing masks and requiring anyone entering to wear one. We were even able to buy hand sanitizer, toilet paper and paper towels. Because they are located in Maryland we were able to buy Vodka and Gin too! The crabs were sweet and plump and the shrimp was delicious. They had a perfect seasoning on them too. In the future, this is the only place I will be going to get my steamed crabs and shrimp. It was definitely worth the drive from Colonial Beach!!!!

Seafood was amazing! The crabs were so full and the crab legs were cooked perfect ????

The staff is very polite, attentive, and will answer any and all questions you may have about the menu. Everything I saw that came out of the kitchen was beautiful and smelled phenomenal. It's a place you can take your family or just go for a date night.

Everything is awesome from the crabs to the cheeseburgers. Great atmosphere and great people!!!
