Captain Jack's Giftly

Captain Jack’s is a classic seafood and steakhouse on Coast Highway in Sunset Beach, just north of Huntington Beach. Long loved by locals, it blends a nautical setting with a relaxed, casual feel and a lively bar overlooking the water.

• Ambiance: Old-school nautical charm with dim lighting, cozy leather seating, and a lively bar and patio by the water.
• Cuisine: Seafood and steak classics—think hot Alaskan king crab legs, prime rib, filet mignon, lobster, oysters, and warm house bread.
• Highlights: Consistent, attentive service; large portions; classic cocktails and a solid wine list; great for celebrations.

Beyond the signature crab and steaks, the menu covers surf-and-turf combos, fresh oysters, and traditional sides. Warm sourdough and rye arrive at the table to start the meal, and desserts are presented tableside for an easy finish. The drink list leans classic, with well-made cocktails and approachable wines.

The dining room suits birthdays, date nights, and business dinners, while the bar area offers a more laid-back scene. Portions are generous across the board, so sharing is common. Street parking can be tight, but there’s a lot across the street that adds convenience. Expect a comfortable, timeless experience that focuses on good food and gracious service.

Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends or for prime dining times. Captain Jack’s delivers a memorable night out with a coastal vibe that feels both special and familiar.
