That be Captain John's, about 2 miles south of the Beltway on Route 1
(my neighborhood!!), down the hill past Beacon Mall, on the left. They
don't always put out lobsters, but there is always a lot of crab dishes
and the fried oysters with tartar sauce are a *real* treat! There are a
*lot* of cheap eats around here! There's Western Sizzlin buffet on Rte.
1 right at the Beltway (not as good as Old Country Buffet); a great
Chinese buffet, the Bamboo Garden, behind the Rte.1 Krispy Kreme (on
King's Highway, next to the 7-11) for $6; Chi-Chi's at Beacon Mall has
Happy Hour free food from 3pm-7pm daily (Wed. is wings day!); down the
hill from Beacon Mall is a Shakey's pizza buffet on the left, about $5
for lunch (includes desserts and lots of other items). I could go on,
but this stretch of Rte 1 has many tasty and inexpensive dining
experiences!  $^)
