“Wow the food was excellent. Myself and a friend are always on the prowl for wonderful fried chicken. This place ranks in the top spot right now. We traveled 60 miles to give it a try and we’re not disappointed. Salad bar was a wide variety of excellent choices. Soup was delicious but very hot. My fault for digging right in. Loved everything. Our waitress was also amazing and accommodating.“

“Attn,Right off the I-80 and US 71. Don't let a gas station detour you from trying it out. Excellent service, staff, good quality of food..Fresh vegetables for popeye omelet/ bacon, spinach, added Swiss. Sub potatoes for tomatoes.Biscuits and Sausage Gravy for me.It's worth the stop. You won't be disappointed.Updt! 2nd time passing through.!Review for consistency in service, quality of food, and pricing across 3+ months.Egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, add Swiss cheese. The tomatoes on side didn't have taste of store bought, more homegrown. Sweet and deliciousThey also have fresh cakes, pies. Delicious coffee. I'm hoping one day ill try their lunch/dinner menu. From seeing others lunch dishes in restaurant, it looked tasty.“

Salad was Avocado BLT and was perfect to share after the appetizer and we shared dessert. Was just enough for 2 of us as we were full but not stuffed.“

“I think this is my only perfect review. This restaurant is amazing, it is a breakfast place and they do close at 1pm. Which is a TAD bit of a bummer. The food is always delicious and comes quickly, service is always 10/10.I love this specific restaurant because of one of the waitresses, she's waited on FOUR generations (possibly 5) of my family, she's seen my mother and ny grandmother grow up, and she's seen me grow up. I don't even know if she realizes who I am, but she's so polite, a treasure, and she always has on the MOST beautiful jewelry sets!If you pick this restaurant, be prepared to make it your favorite, between the food, the atmosphere, and the staff you'll never want to leave. And if you want a good soup recommendation, get the beef and vegetables it's absolutely DIVINE!(Plus the bathrooms are clean and always have TP)Edit: my mom confirmed Miss Nancy has waited on FIVE generations of my family! Myself being the 5th ?It all started many years ago when my great great grandmother Delores Angel, and ONLY miss Nancy could get her poached eggs right.“

“Great for breakfast (served all day) or lunch. Food was tasty, plentiful, and pleasing to the eye. The service was prompt and pleasant. Great place for soup and sandwich, as well as about anything you can think of for breakfast. I had the Firehouse Burger. I asked for medium and it had no pink inside, but was still delicious. Several in our party had either the broccoli soup-of-the-day or the chicken noodle. Both souls were hearty with good flavor. The Fries were double fried with a delicious crunch and the onion rings were also good.“

“We go here quite often in the summer. We live near Chicago but spend many weekends in Ottawa for the river and friends. I actually dream about the Buffalo chicken dip at captains cove during the drive down. It’s often our first stop after we drop the dogs at the boat. It is the best BCD I’ve ever had. Sometimes it’s sold out by the time we get there, it’s THAT good! They have great deals on drinks and the rest of the menu is really yummy. The bartenders are awesome, we have ended up getting to know the family that owns the place and they’re all so kind and love being able to serve delicious food and beverages to their friends and customers. We truly love captains cove and look forward to many more years of great buff chicken dip and giggles!“

“First and foremost I am going after the most important part of this review....The service.Hands down the BEST waitress we have had in well over 2 years. Of all things... a young girl in her first ever waitressing job. Not only did ABBY provide excellent service, she had the most refreshing, warm and welcoming personality! Absolutely ANY business would be beyond blessed to have her representing their company. If I could hire her, I would in a heartbeat!After a long day traveling, Abby was a great ray of sunshine to cap it off. This young lady was even smiling while replacing salt and pepper shakers on tables! She made us comfortable, feel invited, and laugh all at once. If we lived near the area, we would come here regularly just because of her service.Now, the food and atmosphere were consistent and good. It was clean and the food was prompt and tasted good.The manager was responsive, and made sure to recognize her waitress after we paid a compliment. She showed she really cares not only about her employees, but also about the image they present for the restaurant from a customer service aspect.Keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing Abby, and we know you will continue to shine!- Your new favorite couple from Arkansas!Mike and Angela“

“Love a great hidden gem, you walk in thinking it's a dive bar ,but think again! This place is way classier than menu and appearance. The menu has expanded, the outdoor area has expanded and not to mention how nice the server/bartender was as well as inviting, I'm fortunate to be able to order lunch from here often cuz it's so affordable I don't think I can go to fast food for the same price. Weekly specials also killing it! Must stop byParking: Parking everywhere just a very small walk“

“Ordered a blue cheese burger, no bun with garden on the side. Perfect. Food is better than average for a sports bar. Suggestions APPEAR to be taken seriously. Skakers appears to be getting better with the food/service. Only one BIG problem to the families who bring in small children. KEEP THEM ON A LEASH. I'm tired of going to restaurants and sports bars with kids running all over, and there scumbag parents think this is acceptable. The workers won't, I mean can't say anything for fear of a KAREN/DAREN coming unhinged.“
