Orange County might have some of the worst food in California. Captain Jack's is one of the few old school establishments that feels like it might actually have...dare I say it, CHARACTER. It's on the water, it's a bit grungy, it has a loyal local crowd, and the food is pretty good - it's not great by any stretch of the imagination, but it's tasty and there's a lot of it. The vibe is great and funky and they have live music in the lounge almost every night of the week. It's dark and has lots of nooks and crannies, fish tanks, and even has a dock for locals who cruise up by Duffy. We've lived in next door Huntington Beach for 4 years and go to CJ's probably three or four times a year. Even just for drinks it's a great haunt. Fleming's it's not, but for what it is - a funky old pub-style steakhouse on the water in just-as-funky-Sunset-Beach with good crab legs and prime rib - it's a fantastic place. And when you take into consideration just how un-funky Orange County is, with its strip mall personality, it's also a very rare find. Bring friends. Have fun. Share the prime rib - it's HUGE.
Pros: Ambience, Local Crowd, Waterfront, Funky, Lots of Character, Live Music, Valet, Portions
