Restaurant Reviews by Carson Hart

Captain Kidd's- Redondo Beach, Ca

Rating- 9.5/10


Ayy Ay Cap’n! This weeks Bi-Monthly Crunch takes place at the classic Captain Kidd’s, located just north of the Redondo Beach Pier! If you’re looking for some fresh seafood, then this place has got you covered. Their menu has a very wide variety, ranging from Alaskan King crab legs to breaded shrimp, to mahi mahi! And for those who don’t like fish food, they also offer the classic combo of hot dogs, burgers, and fries.

My main man working behind the counter! (I forgot his name)

As you can see, there was some nice family bonding over this fine meal. Because I had my wisdom teeth pulled only days before this, I went with some nice clam chowder and a hot dog (which was cut up into many small pieces). The clam chowder was very delicious, and I have had some pretty good chowder in my short lifetime. It was very creamy, smooth, had the perfect temperature, and just the right amount of clam! I have to admit, I was thrown a slight curveball on the hot dog. Normally it’s split down the middle, with a normal toasted bun, but this time it wasn’t split and had sourdough bread. Needless to say, it tasted just as good as before, and the bread was great!

Here’s the leftovers!

Overall, I give this place a 9.5/10. Maybe it has sentimental value to me, or maybe it is just simply the great food, prices, service, and location. The workers there are very nice, and it is close enough to the Redondo Pier to grab a little treat afterwards. Oh wait, I can’t forget the treat!!

Here’s a little bonus crunch for you. After dinner I skated down to Charlie’s at the Redondo pier, and grabbed this delicious soft-serve ice cream for $3. You can’t go wrong with ice cream! Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for the next Bi-Monthly CRUNCH!!
