Meet the Capt. Anderson’s Crew ⚓️

Say hello to Tripp! We have been blessed to have Tripp on our crew for seven years! Throughout those seven years, Tripp has served many of you in the Lounge!

Tripp enjoys working as a bartender because of his special friendships with his fellow bartenders. If you are to visit Tripp, he will most likely recommend our Weller Special Reserve Bourbon! Yet, Tripp’s favorite drink to create is a Rum Runner. His favorite Capt. Anderson’s meal is stuffed shrimp with a loaded baked potato and homemade chicken noodle soup!

On Tripp’s days off, he enjoys hanging out with his friends and going fishing. When Tripp has some free time throughout his day, he loves to play his guitar!

Thank you Tripp for all of your dedication to Capt. Anderson’s! Our Lounge would not be the same without your smiling face!

Our Story

Capt. Anderson's restaurant is one of those rare "family" restaurants that not only survives, but strengthens and improves through the years. The landmark waterfront restaurant is celebrating its 53rd anniversary in 2020, and every year has witnessed remarkable growth without loss of quality. The restaurant has grown to 725 seats and, six nights a week, serves over 250,000 guests during its 8 month season. Founders, Jimmy and Johnny Patronis set high standards of hard work and consistency for the younger Patronis generations, and they still pull their shifts at the busy restaurant, stopping by to welcome old friends and loyal customers... occasionally bussing a table or taking a special order. Their passion for the business is undoubtedly the root of Capt. Anderson's success.

Named among America's Top 50 restaurants, recipient of the "Best Seafood Restaurant" award from Southern Living and Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence," Capt. Anderson's won Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Award for 15 years before being inducted into the Restaurant Hall of Fame in 2005. The Hall of Fame is the highest honor Florida Trend can bestow upon a Florida restaurant.

Year 'round, the Patronis family works with fishermen, oystermen and others who make their living harvesting the Gulf and Bay waters, to preserve the natural oyster beds of Apalachicola Bay... to build artificial reefs... and protect the fragile coastal ecology. Preserving and replenishing the rich natural bounty of the Gulf Coast is part of the Capt. Anderson’s legacy, one of the most important reasons this landmark restaurant is known for serving more fresh local seafood than any other restaurant in Florida.
