Captain Jack’s Goodtime Tavern

Love Captain Jacks. Something for everyone. Enjoy the birthday wings with friends and family. Such a great idea. This is a rocking addition to our Sodus Point community

Celebrated my birthday at Jacks had a great time with my punisher family. Great food and I can’t beat the company thank you everyone for coming out to play

Amazing place good food come here with my dad all the time during the summer, I love their food and their salad bar I can fill up my salad as much as I want and I love it

Captain Jack’s really does offer a good time in a tavern. My most recent visit on a weekday afternoon in October proved to be a really enjoyable experience. Although I have never eaten here during peak times, which is what most of the other negative reviews are about, my visits during slower times or visits for drinks at busy times, have all been enjoyable. This tavern offers a fantastic beer selection with reasonable prices, your standard tavern menu which is executed really well (my sweet potato fries were fantastic), a really fun atmosphere on the lake, docks for your boating clientele, great views of the bay including the chimney bluffs in the distance, friendly and efficient service, lush wooden décor on the interior and tiki lamps on the decks for fun, great special events, several tvs for your sporting fans, and even charters for fishing. During a quiet lunch in October, my husband and I enjoyed fish frys and lobster bisque out on the lower deck. The food was excellent and the portions were huge, including my «small» portion for a reasonable $ 9.99. We enjoyed our meal with beers while watching impressive fishing boats pull up to the docks, with hungry fisherman coming ashore to dine at Captain Jack’s. I spoke with the waitress and apparently much of their weekday business includes fisherman which I can totally understand. Captain Jack’s is a perfect place to relax and enjoy good food and drinks after a morning of fishing. Apparently there are even fishing charters that leave from Captain Jack’s which would make for a really fun day if fishing and taverns are your thing!

Ok. First time there for me. It’s my Dads 80^th birthday. He loves the place. He had 10 of his friends. Disappointed to say the least. They made reservations. Knew it was for his birthday. Was there almost 3 hrs. Slow on drinks, ordered our wings to be brought before dinner. Never got the wings til we asked for our bill. I know the wings are free for birthdays. But 3 other big tables next to us also for birthdays, got there’s and left an he before we did. Glad I live 3 hrs away. Won’t get the urge to easy to go back. Poorly ran ! Amazing!

Our last visit was terrible. It started by the hostess setting us right next to a birthday party for a 90 year old woman where everyone was screaming because the old gal was hard of hearing. As the hostess was seat us I asked if we might be seated in the next room and was told the waitress for that room was on break right now so next to the birthday crowd was the only seat available… you got to be kidding me. After some delay, a drink order was placed along with our food order. The drinks came at the same time the food came. No time for the salad bar. Along with a fish fry I had the vegetable medley which was stone cold… obviously they forgot to nuke it before putting it on the plate. I was going to pay with a credit card, but the waitress never came back, so between my wife and I we dug up enough cash and left. We won’t be going back anytime soon.

Typical bar food. I think our waitress forgot to hand in our order since it took an hour to get our food. Not well staffed since she was running everywhere and we ended up going to the bar to cash out. I would probably try a different place next time.

I love Captain Jacks — I have been there a number of times for various reasons, a lot of times to see a band, but not always. The food is normally great, you can be inside, sit outside on the dock, or go upstairs to the bar there. The upstairs has a covered bar, then an open deck to sit on, and also has a pavilion where the bands play with an open area to do some dancing. The drinks are always very good, service is quick (considering it is usually packed, especially on nice summer nights). The people watching is exquisite because you get people from all different walks of life.

The absolute worst. I had breakfast with my wife. Waited 25 minutes for 2 pancakes, 2 sausage, 2 eggs. My wife order poached eggs. The platter can with hash browns and toast.
The waitress brought me, 25 minutes later, french toast, not pancakes. I was too hungry to care. My wife’s poached eggs were under cooked. The waitress brought back 2 more poached eggs. This time: overcooked. Hard-​boiled. My wife said, forget it. Don’t bother a 3^rd time. We have been there close to 50 minutes.
The waitress said: «I’ll take them off the bill.» Fine.
The comes to over $ 17. For 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and 2 sausage, a diet pepsi and a coffee. Oh, did I forget to tell you the waitress charged us a la carte for the toast and the hash browns. Classy move, honey.
She got her 10% tip. And we left and will never return.
The worst experience I’ve had in a restaurant in 20 years. Breakfast. How can anyone screw up breakfast. Go to Captain Jake’s and he’ll show you. They are master’s at it.
DO WATE YOUR TIME. AN ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. NO MANAGEMENT. NO ONE WHO KNOWS AN OUNCE OF WHAT CUSTOMER SERIVE IS ALL ABOUT.

ok, well… you kinda get exactly what ytou expect here. Good food, plenty of it. The main area is a bar — with TV’s so if youre looking for a quiet meal, go somewhere else. The décor is fun, piratey and shippy. I had the ½ size fish plate — broiled — and it was PLENTY big, and delicious. the salad bar is to laugh at, but they try… doesnt really compare to the chain restaurant’s salad bar. Price is good. Fun.

Went here for a birthday dinner and was very satisfied. Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Definitely want to come back as I can’t find anything I didn’t like about it.

I was in town for work from NC. This place felt like cheers, everyone knew everyone’s name and were very welcoming to this NC boy. I went twice with my co worker who has a place on the Bay and the good was very good both times. Thursday night we went for the wings and they were some of the best wings I’ve ever had. The passion that Jason had about the beers on tap is a big draw and I would highly recommend this place.

I love the bar there, I used to like the food at Jacks as well, but my last 3 times were disappointing — the food over-​salted, over-​fried, clams came with a bunch of sand; The only two things that didn’t disappoint was bar and food at the banquets.

Love the location! On the water, live music, outdoor tiki bar. This place has a cool theme in side pirates and a mermaid on the ceiling?! Love it! They have a killer craft beer selection and yeah domestic as well. And the food? Well we had chicken wings to start, crispy and sauced up! It kills me how some places «skimp» on the sauce! Not here! Good wings! The Philly was great, fresh hoagie roll and the taste is spot on! No condiments required to eat one here. If there was one flaw the service seemed out of sync but hey everything else here makes up for it.
I’m a fan I’ll be back! This place reminds me of some of my Florida favorites!

Stopped in here for some beers after a day on the water. Nice enough place and friendly staff. Bought a tee-​shirt and went on my way after a few. Can’t beat 2 dollar Blue lights. Will be back for sure and try the food. Nice bar all in all.

A nice spot on the bay, but definitely overpriced. Plates and silverware is plastic and food wasnt that great to warrant a bill of almost $ 100.

We went with a large group of 14 and most of us ordered pizza and wings and it took them 15 minutes for them just to come back and tell us they were out of pizza? They offered to cook us some frozen ones they had in their freezer but we had no choices in toppings if we did that. Uhh. no thanks. We all had to reorder our food but since it took so long for them to tell us they were out of pizza some of us who ordered the wings with the pizza could no longer skip the wings to order something else! Half the meals were brought 20 minutes before anyone elses and my father-​in-​law was the last person to get his meal after waiting for almost an hour for it and all he ended up «re”-ordering was a sandwich! The chowder I ordered had a huge chunk of coral or something in it and I practically chipped my tooth eating it. The food did managed to get was so-​so at best. Very disappointing.

Burger, wings, and cheesesteak all great. Lots of TVs all over great for watching the World Cup! The bar environment was great and the dining area was surprisingly large. The beer list is extensive, but they don’t have miller :(. Definitely get the wings hot they were amazing, and you can never go wrong with a cheesesteak and a burger right? The fries were awesome they were battered so they were like chicken fried… fries? They have lots of cool merchandise and the staff is super friendly!

Just had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time! ½ lb of black angus with lettuce and tomato slice… Simple! And good fries. My wife had grilled Portabello Mushroom with peppers which she reports, was very good also.
Nice place!

I ended up coming here twice in 3 days for two different experiences. The first night was for partying. The bartender was really good and attentive. We hung out on the back deck and listened to the band. I would have liked to go up to the tiki bar where the band was playing but the rest of the group I was with wanted to chill on the deck.
The second visit was for lunch with my family. Service, again, was excellent. However, the food was a disappointment. I ordered a bowl of the lobster bisque and although the flavor was great, it was served room temperature. Three others in our party had the same experience. Same with the clams they ordered. I had the battered haddock and it was good and served hot. My fries, on the other hand, were room temperature. We also ordered sweet potato fries for the table and they were room temperature as well. Big disappointment as I like my food served hot!
This place is quite large; décor is cool and staff is great. They just need to get their act together in the kitchen.
