    My wife and I ate at Captain Herman's with some friends while staying on the East End. The place was basic, had outdoor seating with choices of covered and uncovered behind the order window. The eating area had full ocean view. All the food was really good and fresh. It was very reasonably priced for Cayman. The local to tourist ration was probably 4 to 1 so this is definitely a place that locals prefer. We enjoyed watching the sunset and watching sharks swim around in the shallows behind the restaurant.

    Authentic island foods, shaded patio seating and reasonable prices. Stopped here on our way back from Georgetown. Hoping that Turtle Stew was on the menu - nope, but Goat Curry was! Our party of four likes to try different foods so we usually order three different meals and an appetizer or two. Here we started with Conch Fritters and Conch Soup. Fritters were excellent and huge, biggest we’ve had on the island. Soup was also great but I would like a bit more heat. For meals we ordered the Goat Curry, Cayman Style Beef and Fried Grouper. Grouper was great, crisp and juicy. Goat Curry was flavorful but I added hot sauce. Hit of the meal was the CI Style Beef. Very tasty with clear spices and some heat. Charming spot you should check out.

    I pulled up to this place and saw only locals, no tourists in sight, something is up. Bad decision even waste my time here!! They only serve locals because locals keep coming back, and tourists are a one-time deal. I was first in line, and some locals were walking away seeing how long the line was. The lady called him back and took his order instead of mine. Then everyone behind me began to yell out their orders while I was ignored. Save yourself time and go to the restaurant down the street with the same view. As a tourist, do not bother to check out the food here. There was no hygiene from the workers. I left and never got to order.

    If you like white tablecloths, silverware, and table service, Captain Herman’s may not be for you. HOWEVER, if you’d love an authentic island eating experience, with delicious and fresh food, and views to die for, you’ll love it here (as we did). This is a locals’ takeaway, with covered and outdoor (under parasols) seating, and the locals we met were friendly. There is a chalked, priced, menu by the hatch. Walk up and order. It’s cooked fresh, and you’ll be called when it’s ready (and to pay). We paid in USD with no bother.

    The BEST conch fritters. We also had barracuda for the first time with fried plantains. We returned a second time for the sweet and sour fish. I LOVE that the dishes come with sides, some restaurants need to take note. I was overcharged but they corrected the issue once I brought it up, so just double check your bill if you're paying in USD. Decent food overall.

    Wonderful place, staff was so helpful there are lots of nice locals who eat here. The ocean view is beautiful and the food is super affordable, definitely the best meal we had on the island. I recommend the lemon butter shrimp, and if your feeling adventurous the barracuda is delicious, definitely coming back!

    The lady that was working on sat Dec 14th was extremely rude and a bit racist. She didn't want to serve us so we had to leave. I would skip this restaurant. There are way better places to go like the south coast grill up the road with very friendly family run business.

    Fish joint right on the ocean !! Beautiful sweeping views of the coast while enjoying your lunch. I wanted fish & chips but I think pressed the wrong type of fish bc it wasn’t what I was expecting

    Staff weren't the most knowledgeable on gluten free or celeic disease although I was able to work through it and did not get glutened. Ultimately the food was DELICIOUS. This is a must try for local eating. I ended up eating there two days in a row. Its in the east end and a little bit of a drive from Seven Mile Beach but in my opinion worth the trek

    Delicious food and great service. We ate outside enjoying the views and sounds of all the crashing waves. It was a great experience!

    Fish place on the side of a road in the East End. They have a small parking lot and tables scattered throughout with ocean views. Don't expect a 5 star restaurant experience but the food was one of the best I had on my vacation. The food was brought out to us in the back. Portions were huge & filling. Prices are decent for CI but I paid in USD so of course Americans are getting ripped off. But food was too notch.

    Best meal we had on the island. You order at the window and she cooks it fresh! (The fried food is made when you order it. They have stews too which ofc are already made.) the barracuda was fantastic, the conch soup divine. The woman who served us was very kind, and the casual atmosphere cannot be beat! Waves crashing on the limestone shore below, outdoor seating. Will be back each day until we leave!

    Fried grouper was outstanding and partner had the turtle stew. Fresh selection of fresh seafood and local favorites right on the ocean!

    This is not a fancy place by any means but if you want to try local food then do stop by. The fried red snapper fish was delicious. Shrimp in coconut curry was well seasoned to cooked perfectly. Everything is served in Togo box.
