Captains Corner was one of our favorite places to eat during a recent visit to Kelleys Island. We had dinner on our first night and later returned for breakfast. The breakfast was solid, but I think I enjoyed the dinner more. I love a good buffalo chicken sandwich, and theirs was really good. A buttermilk fried chicken breast tossed in Buffalo sauce, topped with bleu cheese crumbles, lettuce, tomato, and onion served on a toasted bun ($12.99). The sauce was just spicy enough and I always enjoy having fresh bleu cheese crumbles on the sandwich!
My wife enjoyed the cranberry pecan salad ($12.99 add chicken for $3). This combined fresh mixed greens, dried cranberries, crushed pecans, red onion, and feta cheese with a raspberry vinaigrette. The chicken was a nice addition, though probably not necessary for this tasty salad. Large chunks of feta added a nice creamy flavor to compliment the sweet flavors of the cranberry and raspberry dressing.
Truthfully there aren’t a ton of options on Kelleys Island, but Captains Corner was among the best we experienced.
