Y'all this place has NEVER disappointed me. Like that's crazy to me. I have been eating here even after they changed locations. They give you gigantic to go portions and they are very very reasonably priced. They have some amazing chicken tenders but you gotta get that RANCH it's top tier. The seafood looks great too. And the hushpuppies are my NUMBER 1 pick for hushpuppies. Over cookout over ya momma over wherever I don't care. They're my favorite.

The food is good. The portions ate reasonable. We just moved to Lincolnton and have been trying out new places to eat. This restaurant is now one of our favorites. I recommend it to anyone who likes good seafood with good service, good taste and good portions.

Tried this restaurant on the recommendation of a good friend of ours and my chiropractor and I'm glad we did. I was a little gun shy to try another seafood restaurant here in Lincolnton after trying Cotton's Seafood which ended up being one of the nastiest seafood meals we have ever eaten, so I'm glad now that didn't stop up from giving Captain Pete's a try. Walked in and was greeted and immediately seated. Our sever Geneva took our drink orders and brought a basket of hushpuppies to the table, which were very good. We ordered and split Captain Pete's Platter which was a huge plate of seafood with two flounder fillets, a large pile of calabash shrimp, four jumbo shrimp, four oysters, two scallops, a crab cake and a deviled crab. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. The batter was light and crispy with no grease at all. We got a baked sweet potato and sour slaw for our sides. We also liked the tarter and cocktail sauces as well. The platter had so much food on it we ate our fill and still took enough home for another meal, so no one can complain about portion sizes here. Geneva was friendly and checked on us frequently and our tea glasses were always kept full. We will be asking to sit in her section the next time we visit. With drinks, tax and tip we got out for $33, not bad since we were able to make two meals from Captain Pete's Platter. We had been driving all the way to Connelly Springs to Tex's Fish Camp for our seafood fix, but that's about a 50 minute drive one way for us, but with the food and service we received at Captain Pete's, we now have a much closer option for a really good seafood meal. I see many more visits to Captain Pete's in our future!

Best seafood in Lincolnton. Always tastes fresh and delicious. Their seafood platter is amazing and it's a large portion so you can split it with someone else. The calabash shrimp is always cooked perfectly and the hush puppies are really good too. Go here and support local.

Back in the early 1970's when I was working for Inmont as a Chemist, there was an all you can eat buffet called Ketner's Buffeteria on South Blvd just past Tyvola Road that my coworkers and I would go to. The guy who owned it, if I am not mistaken was the brother of Ralph Ketner, one of the founders of Food Lion. At least once a week, Frog Legs were on the menu, and we would make a bee line over there just to get the Frog Legs. As I recall they were huge, moist and very tender. After a couple of years, they closed, and I've only had Frog Legs a couple of times since then. Trying to find a restaurant I had not been to yet and I found Capt'n Pete's Seafood in Lincolnton. Looking at the online menu and there is was "Fried Frog Legs" so guess what was for lunch today. Drove over and got there around 11:30 am shortly after they opened at 11am. I think we were only the second couple seated when we arrived. It's a very clean and well apportioned restaurant with a nautical theme. Very light and airy. Service is excellent Our server took our drink ordered and gave us our menu's. I was immediately disappointed because the menu that she gave us did not look at all what was online, and Frog Legs were not on the menu. Mention to our server that I was disappointed because they did not have Frog Legs. She immediately volunteered that yes, the did have them so I ordered them along with Fried Okra, complimentary Hush Puppies and Sour Cole Slaw. My wife ordered the large order of Crab Cakes (3) along with Okra as well and the complimentary Hush Puppies. Everything came out promptly and was nice and hot and fresh. The Frog Legs were smaller than what I used to get at Ketner's but very tasty anyway and the fact that there were so many, made up for the smaller size. Susan enjoyed her Crab Cakes as well along with the Fried Okra. All in all, a very pleasant dining experience and I at least, will definitely be back (Susan is not a Seafood Fan). This place is a keeper.
