Captain’s Quarters

The place is easy to get to by boat if your on the Chain. Indoor and outside seating Dj’s and bands add to the festivities. Larry the owner is always a pleasure to talk to very avalible and a hands on owner. The bar staff are energetic and always a hoot. You can also get there by car via Grass Lake Rd. and Ackerman then left on Bolton. I highly recomed this place during the summer on any given weekend. Great patrons as well.

Great atmosphere. Incredible staff, fun, friendly and helpful!
Food was great. They had a cook out with fresh corn, brats and burgers on the back patio the day we came.
Live band that started around 7 with a wide range of music to entertain all ages.

Love coming to captain quarters for the music and scenery by boat for years… Not the best service usually BUT we had the greatest waitress today — Sarah! Thank you so much, we will be back and ask for you!!! Wonderful!!!

I couldn’t help but post. I’m not a regular, but have always had good service, and good food here. Some of the posts for this place are ridiculous. If you don’t like the outdoors in summer or like to occupy tables off six and spend less than $ 20, stay away. Otherwise a great place, good people.

Great friendly place with nice employees and terrific wings and potato skins! Friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended! They also have outdoor seating.

Terrible service, unfriendly staff.
I wrote a fair review about this business month ago. After communication from Herman B. after my last review, I thought it warranted an update.
«So you rated the business poorly because the insects were a problem at an outdoor venue? or were you rating your skillls as a parent for forgetting bug spray?»
I had communication from a fellow Unilocaler that he also responded to them in a similar manner. His response to the reviews reflect exactly the unfriendliness & attitude we experienced from the staff during our dinner. I could’ve overlooked the experience & given them another shot, but now, after this, I won’t return.
Convenient & entertaining, but service was slow, waitress unfriendly, and food average at best. The playground area for the kids was convenient, and live music entertaining. The restrooms were inadequate for the number of patrons. I supposed that’s why porta-​potties were hauled in but the thought of having no running water before eating was unappealing. The mosquitos were terrible outside AND inside the restaurant. I walked away with 39 bites on my shoulders alone, and another 20 or so on the rest of my body. My kids got tore up badly too. It was difficult to enjoy dinner, music, and the kids playing because of the bugs. It was my oversight forgetting the bug spray. That’s on me, but I also would’ve hoped if bugs were so aggressive, the restaurant would fog or spray around the perimeter for a more positive experience. Overall, mediocre

We like stopping here for a break from the boat and so my son can play at the park and we can get something to eat or drink, but every time I notice the poor attitude of the staff that works here. One time, I overheard a server complaining to another table about she had been there since the morning. I looked at the clock and it didn’t seem like it was much more than 8 hours – not excessive compared to what most people work any given day. It just comes off as unprofessional when you complain about your job and how overworked you are to customers. The last visit though, our waitress was SO RUDE because our table of five didn’t order alcohol or a lot of food. Our bill came to about $ 18 on a Monday night (Labor Day). She treated us like we were gum on the bottom of her shoe and she made it very obvious how annoyed she was. I guess I’m not used to being treated so unkindly, but I guess they must be doing fabulously from a money standpoint to be able to afford to shun paying customers. Every time I hear my son say he wants to go here now, I cringe and I want to avoid it at all costs – especially because most of the food is overpriced and not good (except the BBQ wings are ok). Hello Captain’s Quarters… do you want your customers to «cringe» when they think of your establishment?

Great place! Always a fun time. Good for the family during the day too.
They always have a live bad and the patio is a great place to sit and watch. The food has never disappointed me and the staff is always very fast and attentive. Many people bring dogs and sit in the back which is great for families coming by boat with dogs.
I’ll always come back for food or just drinks.

The outdoor seating is very nicely arranged. The food is good and consistent. The waitress was good even though she was busy. Overall I would say it’s a great place to stop on the boat and eat and grab some drinks. None of the place is air conditioned so the bathrooms get really hot and sticky.

I come here often and the food is usually top notch for bar food but we had a super crappy waitress named Wendy. She was rude and got my order wrong. She checked on us once the entire hour we were there and we waited so long we went to the bar and acquired our own beverages. My Mai tai was disgusting and they’re usually good here. The band was awesome and is the only reason I’m giving it 3 stars. Hey captains… Get it together!

Great place, bands on Saturday and Sunday,
The menu could use some more items, food can take awhile when it’s busy, other places on the chain have cheaper beer on the weekends just because you have bands doesn’t mean a beer should be 3.50 that’s to high witch is why I gave 4 stars, The staff is always good

Great place to stop drink and eat while ye be cruising on the chain of lakes

This is a nice little bar on the Lake with good pub grub and drink specials. I’m going back!

Food is not the best but if your looking for a good place to have drinks and listen to the band by the water stop on in.

Drinks are a little pricey, but an excellent place to hang out! I would have given six stars if it weren’t for all those damned kids on the weekends. Get off my lawn!

I love coming to this place for lunch. We have a bar we walk to when we are at the Chain so we stay near home at night, but this place is great.
We have come either by boat or car. It can be a bit hard to find by car, but it’s easy to find by boat. It’s in a channel so you don’t have to worry about the wave rocking your boat into the pier like you do at places on the lakes.
In the summer they open the whole place up so even when you’re inside you feel like you’re outside. There are multiple bars and TVs and it’s a good family place. The food is damn good too!

After a few of their long island iced teas, I became a bit unsteady on my feet and had trouble navigating some stairs. Or did I watch that happen to my friend? Gosh, it’s all so blurry now…
Busy bar with loud dance music at night. Right by the water, which is handy if your boat is docked in the marina next door.
