Haven't been there in awhile, just happened to be driving by and whipped the car in. Not much changed, I decided to go with the fish fry . It was good size and cooked right on.

Very nice small diner, great friendly service at a hospitable location, and the food was outstanding with nice portions, great regular menu but recommend ordering from the diner's specials menu, those meals are all prepared in house from scratch, I had the haddock fish fry and my guest had the chix&bisc, we both left full and very happy!! Thanks Captain Kidz!!

Try their Redneck breakfast sandwich - choose the sausage option. So good and so filling. Pair it with coffee and you are basically good to go in the morning. Nice location too as it facing the Erie Canal.

I'm not a fan of Medina. Sorry. I'm just not. Having grown up in small town America I'm completely over the "in the middle of nowhere" vibe small townships like this place throw off. One thing you can always count on in small town USA though is a family oriented restaurant that has excellent friendly quick service with a smile a bottomless cup of coffee and excellent "home cooked" meals. Captain Kidz does not disappoint and gives you this down home feel without even trying. The atmosphere is friendly and bustling. The staff is friendly and familiar (even if like myself you happen to be a complete stranger) and the food is superb. Nothing too fancy but fulfilling and priced just right. My favorite part is they're open early for the before work crowd. If you find yourself in near Medina NY Captain Kidz is definitely worth checking out. You'll enjoy the nostalgia (if you grew up small town) you'll leave full and it doesn't break the bank. 6 outta 5 stars for this place. My go to for breakfast while I'm trapped here.

This restaurant is a little out dated but boy what a great view of the erie canal. It's breathtaking and is quite an advantage for this restaurant. The service we had was top notch. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and she was able to address any questions we had. I ordered a chocolate milkshake to start because I'd been craving one for a while. I was very pleased with our. Then I ordered a hot turkey sandwich. The turkey was fresh, the potatoes are perfect texture, and the gravy was super delicious. My mother had a hot dog. She said it was ok but nothing to write home about. Honestly I would recommend this place.
