Seafood and Rhode Island naturally go together, and we’re never far from some of the best in New England, no matter where we live in the state. Our biggest challenge is usually choosing which restaurant we’ll go to next. Next time you’ve got a craving for a hearty bowl of clam chowder or a classic meal of fish and chips, make a beeline for this regional restaurant in Wakefield, Rhode Island, where you’ll find some of the best.
Look for the dark blue sign that announces your arrival at Cap 'N Jack's Restaurant in Wakefield, a family-run favorite since 1972.
You might notice birds nesting atop that sign, which comes as little surprise as this popular Rhode Island seafood restaurant sits on the Succotash Marsh.
If you're visiting when the patio's open, try to snag a seat outdoors. The views, fresh air, and delicious food create an unforgettable culinary experience.

The vibe in the indoor dining area is just as chill as it is outside, and guests rave about the service and food.
Some have even proclaimed it the best restaurant in Rhode Island.
For a real New England experience, start your meal with a tasty appetizer. Cap 'n Jack's scoops up Rhode Island and New England clam chowder, lobster bisque, and lobster stew.
Cap 'n Jack's might be best known for its fish and chips. Paired with coleslaw, tartar sauce, and golden fries, it promises to leave you absolutely stuffed.
