Captain's Quarters Inc — Restaurant in Illinois

Stopped by for dinner yesterday evening with my family. Owner "Larry" ended up dropping a few f-bombs at my two teenage sons to get off the swing set in front of my two very young nieces. Larry told them he was going to hold them liable and sue them if they broke the swing set while dropping f-bombs at them. He claims there is a "12 year old and younger" sign on the swing set, however no one could locate it. Traumatized, my two young nieces no longer wanted to go on the swing set. When I confronted Larry about this he lied, said he asked them politely to get off the swing set, and they only went higher on it. All witnesses dispute Larry's account. A polite request to get off of the swings is all that was needed, not threats and f-bombs. When I told Larry I was going to share my experience with others, he said he didn't care because he has plenty of customers, we have options, and should leave. We honored his recommendation, left, and will never visit again. We did share this experience with others at a nearby restaurant, and they said they were not surprised, seems he's building quite a reputation for himself.

There's a lot I like about this place, but I always see room for improvement when I visit. Last time, it took 10 or so minutes for anyone to figure out who our server was. An older man, whose job it clearly was not, stepped up and took our drink orders. That finally got settled and we had a very pleasant server eventually. I ordered a BLT wrap and it was kind of dry and boring. One friend ordered a burger, which she thought was OK. Another ordered the ham and cheese sub, which he also described as "OK." My wife said her chicken Caesar salad was "meh." Then one of the busboys spilled a drink down the back of one of our friends, which she took well. Mistakes happen, but the staff offered a free soda in compensation. I thought that was chintzy. When you spill a drink on someone, you comp their meal, at least. All in all, I still like the place. When compared to others on the Chain, it certainly holds its own, and I will go back if...

Met up with some friends there early evening yesterday, it had been years since I've been here, noticed some changes since.

We sat outside under the large outdoor seating area, nice night for it. Place was crazy busy, good vibe and live music.

We had drinks & dinner while listening to the Band.

Service was great, Jesse was our server and did an outstanding job, very attentive & very friendly & food was delicious.

We hope to come back again soon.

All workers from what we could see were following the Covid guidelines, especially the social distancing with not allowing larger groups such as ours to put tables together, we understood it, and we adapted to it....Just as did another large party that came in later in the night.

We all felt very safe & comfortable, so...
