Captain Al’s Tiki Bar
Whether you’re arriving by boat or beach chair, Captain Al’s Tiki Bar & Grill in Buzzards Bay, MA is where good times and great food collide. With waterfront views, cold drinks flowing, and a breezy island vibe, it’s easy to see why Captain Al’s is a summer favorite. But beyond the palm-frond decor and harbor buzz is a menu packed with coastal comfort food that delivers.
Our Favorites
Cape Cod Reuben
A perfectly crisp, golden-fried haddock filet is the star here, nestled between slices of toasted marble rye. The mild, flaky fish pairs surprisingly well with the classic Reuben fixings: tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island dressing. The haddock holds its crunch under all that saucy goodness, and the flavors balance out beautifully—rich, sharp, and just a little bit tangy.
It's hearty without being heavy, with just enough coastal flair to make it stand out on a menu full of seaside favorites.
Fried Seafood Platter
If you’re craving the full seaside experience, the Fried Seafood Platter is non-negotiable. This massive plate is a golden-fried celebration of the ocean’s greatest hits: flaky haddock, plump sea scallops, tender whole-belly clams, and juicy shrimp. Everything is lightly battered, never greasy, and fried to that ideal crispy-golden brown. The standout? The scallops. Sweet, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. And the clams? A salty, briny bite that hits you with pure Cape Cod flavor. Perfect for sharing (or not—no judgment). Best enjoyed with a cold beer and a harbor breeze.
Chicken Parm Sandwich
Not a fan of seafood? No worries, Captain Al’s still has you covered. This isn't your average deli version—it’s a full-on handheld feast. A crispy, juicy chicken cutlet gets smothered in marinara and blanketed with melted mozzarella and provolone, all piled into a toasted sub roll that holds up beautifully under the weight of all that saucy, cheesy goodness. The chicken stays crunchy even under all the sauce, which is no small feat. The marinara is bright and garlicky, the cheese pull is legit, and it comes with a side of fries that are just as crispy and golden as the seafood platter’s.
Final Thoughts
Captain Al’s isn’t just a tiki bar—it’s a full-flavored Cape Cod experience. Whether you’re fresh off the water or just soaking up the vibes, these dishes prove that the food is just as much a reason to come back as the view. Friendly service, strong drinks, and a crowd-pleasing menu make this the kind of place you’ll want to return to all summer long. So grab a seat under the palapa, order one of their signature rum punches, and treat yourself. At Captain Al’s, every day feels like a vacation.
