      I would have never known this place served breakfast except for the guy who holds a sign on the road. I always see him every Sunday on my way to church. I normally do brunch after church but today for some reason I was quite hungry so I decided to get breakfast before going to the mass. On my way I saw the guy with the sign saying that they served s breakfast buffet and I just thought why not try them.

      Within the area I usually go to Surf Rider and heard nothing but good things about this place. I remember someone told me that they do cooking service for anyone who caught fresh seafood. I thought this place is a fisherman's hang out. This is a neighborhood joint where most guest knows each other or the they come here every single day and chill out.

      I didn't wanna do A'la carte today so I decided to take the buffet. Not to shabby for a less than 10 dollars where you can eat as much as you want. The breakfast consists of bacon, sausages, hash, grits, pancakes, homefries, french toast, biscuits and gravy. Although most of the ingredients was prep but it was well prepared and you can definitely feel Mama's love in their food. There is nothing fancy here but I'm pretty sure that you're not leaving this place with a empty stomach and unsatisfied. Aside from the buffet, they also have various dish on the menu. Some exciting sandwiches and interesting seafood.

      What really makes this place stand out is the stunning view of the harbour and the support and love of the people who come here most every single day. If you're looking for an inexpensive meal after a long night of drinking and hang over this place will rock your appetite.

      I must also commend the terrific customer service. Its almost like dining in my Aunts house, I was so relaxed and at home. The lady who serve was very friendly and polite. She was very attentive and ensured that I was having a wonderful time and most of all enjoying the food. I have never seen anyone who give so much effort to their guest ensuring that you've enough food to eat and coffee to drink.

      What a fantastic visit indeed. I am looking forward to come back soon.

      First, when you first come to Captains Galley setting your personal expectations is critical. If you're coming here looking for fine dining or a Michelin star experience with gourmet food move on. If you want terrific customer service, a pleasant atmosphere, and solid food swing by.
      This place is obviously a spot that services the boats in the harbor and provides a nice spot for a quick bite and a beer.
      I typically come in here on Sunday for breakfast on my way to church. The food on the buffet is pretty standard fare. It's solid and tasty. I've never ate off the menu but it appears to be standard sandwich type fare. I'll give them a shot later and update the review.
      Overall, I enjoy my stops here. I know what I'm going to get and I know the service will be spot on.

      It's a little odd walking up to this place, the open sign is over the entrance to the bathrooms you have to walk around back open a gate and walk across the deck to get inside. The view of the marina off the deck is great, the inside decor is ehh but who cares it's a sandwich shoppe. It just happens to be a sandwich shop that makes a great sandwich, I had the grilled roast beef 8.99 a little high but prepared nicely with horseradish sauce, the beef was moist and tasty, the grilled peppers and onions a nice touch. The side of Mac salad choice of several different was tasty and as I was warned by the lady needed salt. The lady behind the cpunter was very nice and chatty. Since I had to add this place to YELP it maybe new. Will have to go back to enjoy a beer on that deck!

      Buffet was $10. Not sure if everything was homemade. Not hot. Not much flavor. Good view if it's not cold and rainy outside. Might need to come back and order lunch off of the menu.... I'm not sure. Staff was pretty much non existent.

      We were on our way to our regular Sunday breakfast spot when we saw this kid holding a sign declaring a breakfast buffet so hub, who loves buffets (I don't) did a UTurn and headed in.
      As previously posted, the OPEN sign brings you directly to the bathrooms, go around the building and head for the water.
      This a very local spot with mostly fishermen and their wives, many coming from their dew covered boats. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the covered deck. The food is cooked fresh in a very small kitchen to stock the buffet. Now, the buffet fits on a single 6 ft table but has quite few offerings for a small set-up. There are grits, eggs, meats, hash, potatoes, sausage gravy and biscuits. I'm sure I missed a few things however, there was no fruit.
      Service on the deck was mostly non existent, hub stacked his dirty paper plates each time he went in for more and we actually cleared the table ourselves since it was windy out and we didn't want them flying to the ground. You should also expect to share your space with people smoking.

      Friendly folks, great location, but grossly understaffed. We stopped in for breakfast and found the wait for service so slow that we gave up and opted for the buffet...the buffet food when available was pretty good, but they had trouble keeping most things in stock. Disappointed and unlikely to return.

      We checked this place out one Sunday morning with our kids. It was very quiet, simple inexpensive breakfast. My kids are picky and they both enjoyed their food. My boyfriend loves a buffet and enjoyed the small buffet (def couldn't beat the prices). Great place to drop in if you don't feel like cooking breakfast and need something relatively quick!

      Best crab cake I've ever eaten!! Onion rings and French fries were both awesome as well. Cole slaw was a little too heavy on the mayo for my preference, but that's the only criticism I have. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich and said it was perfect - big chunks of chicken breast on a sub roll. We had a delivery to make nearby and searched Yelp for an inexpensive sandwich place. I'm not sure it was that "inexpensive" for lunch -maybe it should be upgraded to $$ - but totally worth the price! We enjoyed sitting outside watching the boats:-)
