Captain George's 2710 West Mercury Blvd.
Hampton, VA 23666

We’ve been to Captain George’s before—in Virginia Beach and in Myrtle Beach, so the fact that Michael wanted to go to the original Captain George’s when we visited him in at Ft. Eustis was no surprise.
This is a big, airy place, but not nearly as big as the others we’ve visited. Captain George’s is not elegant, but it offers a bountiful buffet, friendly and courteous service, and a “vacation” atmosphere. I particularly like that “I’m on vacation” feeling.
To give you an idea of the variety involved—and servers continually refilled dwindling selections, there are 21 seafood entrees, eight meat and other entrees including prime rib, soup and salad items, and at least eight dessert items.
Rob and I began with a nice she-crab soup, creamy and full of meat. Then we went our separate ways. I stayed primarily with steamed clams and Alaskan Snow Crab legs while Rob and Michael diversified more. Michael suggested the seafood combination called The Norfolk Special. They ate Oysters Rockefeller, fried clams, a variety of broiled fish and several other types of seafood. Somehow it was easy for all of us to pass on the BBQ Ribs and prime ribs. This is a house of seafood.
We all finished with a sampling of dessert and coffee. Here we were unanimous. The rice pudding was the best.
Captain George’s isn’t gourmet. But at $23.95, it’s a nice, fun place to add to the laid-back vacation experience.
