Great experience. Stopped for a couple of drinks and a snack. We sat at the bar Sunday afternoon. We ordered the Walleye fingers and a basket of fries. Service was great as was the Walleye fingers, good junks of fish and great flavor, fries were crispy and hot. You get your monies worth with the mixed drinks. We would highly recommend checking this place out.

We had a server that it was her first day and she did great. This was my first time at this place and I hope to be back soon. A lot of good stuff on the menu. The food was great, the service was great and it’s really a fun atmosphere. (Fries are amazing!) I hope to come back in the summer when it’s in full swing as it’s an awesome layout for fun!

There were 6 in our group. We choose to sit on patio. Lot's of seating indoors or outdoors. A couple of guys with guitars played and sang on patio and were very good, that was on a Friday evening. Food and service was also very good.

Part of me wants to keep Back to Captain's a well-kept secret, but it's simply too good not to share. This hidden gem offers an exceptional dining experience that's hard to match. We started with their incredible Breakfast Skillet. Packed with perfectly cooked hashbrowns, fresh vegetables, and your choice of meats, I got the bacon. This skillet is a hearty and delicious way to begin your morning. Each bite bursts with flavor, making it an unforgettable dish. I usually have trouble finishing my plate, but I couldn't help but eat every bite of this! My partner ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger, which is a must-try. The juicy, perfectly cooked beef patty is topped with savory mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese, all in a fresh, soft bun. It's a rich and satisfying burger that stands out from the rest. I had a bite and it was so delicious with great flavors. He got a side of fries with it as well and omgoodness, they were soooooo good!! The slight sweetness they have gave them all they needed to be an absolute delight. I could just sit and eat the fries all day long. You can't leave without trying their renowned Bloody Mary. I'm very picky about my Bloody Mary's, and this was one of the best I've had in Minnesota so far. For me, a Bloody Mary should have flavor and not just taste like watered down vodka with a hint of tomato. They nailed this mix, it has all the flavor. Crafted with just the right amount of spice, this drink pairs perfectly with any meal. Despite wanting to keep this spot low-key, Back to Captain's deserves to be celebrated. The friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and mouth-watering dishes make it a standout in Isanti. Plus, its on the lake, and that for me is just another highlight. Highly recommended!

Here is a wonderful place just off the lake (which you can still see over the campers). The patio outside is so nice and inviting. The server recommended the Calliflower crust pizza, and it was so good. I do recommend trying it even if you are not gluten free.
