(September 23, 2023, 10:50 am)Simple lobster restaurant in a small town. Lobster rolls were very good. No refills on water even though there were only 2 other tables being used in the place. Cute seafaring decor inside. Located in a strip mall. Prices were a little higher than we saw online but overall a good experience.

(September 3, 2023, 7:01 pm)Went for lunch on a Saturday around midday. Seated and our order was taken promptly. Got the fish cakes (with fries substituted for the side salad), and my partner got the lobster chowder. Both were excellent and seved hot. No dessert, but the good cup of coffee was a nice finish.

(March 26, 2023, 9:19 pm)Awesome food and even better service. Had the lobster chowder and salad one day and the fried clams the next day. You cannot leave without getting a peanut butter pie. I had one at the restaurant and one to go. Cavell was our service and she was awesome. Friendly and very attentive

(February 16, 2023, 8:17 pm)Only 2 gripes, one I'd say is minor and the other sort of the second most important part of dining out... I gave a good rating despite the major issue as it was pretty tasty regardless.
Minor gripe: My lobster was overcooked just enough so that it was sticking to the inside of the shell and the white parts that are inedible. Made it impossible to eat it efficiently and I left plenty in the hard to reach spots I'd have otherwise been able to suck out or use the tiny fork to retrieve.
Major gripe: $85 for a lobster in the heart of lobster season is quite frankly insulting... I chose to try this place knowing it is the only place in the Canadian lobster capital of Barrington with lobster as it's primary focus and as its namesake... yet this restaurant is literally charging 4 times the price of Rudder's in Yarmouth and most of the other places my fiance and I have tried on this week long lobster season holiday. Despite my high rating I am truly disappointed in the experience I had here due to the pricing... When informing locals at other restaurants of what we paid at captain Kats, everyone has the "jaw dropping" reaction as they believe, and I agree, it was a rip off. However, isn't part of every tourists trip experience supposed to be getting taken advantage of by at least one local establishment? At least captain Kats is a mistake I'll only make once in my life 🤷♂️
The food quality, service and atmosphere were great. Devon was very attentive and kept our drinks topped up, she also gave a spot on recommendation for the lobster benedict at starboard inn/portside lounge since captain Kat's doesn't do breakfast.
The lobster chowder was pretty meh and tiny for the $13 price, the blueberry spinach salad was wonderful, the $60 seafood platter was tasty but again way overpriced.
Also just a heads up to other tourist types; the sign saying the souvenir mugs are $5 is clearly outdated, as we got charged $12 each for the 2 we bought on the way out. Also the menus on google are clearly old prices as well, if they were current I'd have passed on this place without question. -

(June 20, 2021, 4:08 pm)Quick service, nice servers, and themed lobster decors all around. We ordered the half clam and half fish with chips as well as the creamed lobster on a roll with a side of fries. The food was good, but not memorable. Good-sized parking lot in the plaza. I recommend getting a reservation on the weekends as they had asked whether we had a reservation when we went on Friday night.
