Captain Jack in Wijk 03 Buurse

You walk in. Silence (no music). One couple playing dice in a restaurant. You order a drink, and half an hour has passed and nothing has arrived yet. Even though there was hardly anyone there. Then you still have to go order food. Well, every windowsill is covered in dead flies, and it wasn't clean inside either. Tables sticky. Drinks not finished and food not ordered. Work to be done. P.S. We did hear from others that you really should go there sometime…

Great. Very friendly service. Excellent atmosphere. Large terrace. Food was superb. The price was also ideal.

The food was perfectly fine. I understand that staff shortages are a hot topic, but then instruct your staff properly: never go to the kitchen empty-handed, provide a menu immediately, know which beers are available, be knowledgeable about the products you serve, look at your customers to see if they want to order something, ask if everything is okay, and don't leave dirty dishes on the table for half an hour. The staff was very friendly, by the way. Good instruction isn't that difficult, is it? Now, these are recommendations that came to mind as a layperson. Make use of them. Once again: the steak was perfectly fine.

Picking up your own drinks is outdated.

Very friendly and hardworking staff, and had a tasty lunch. Worth repeating!

Enjoyed a lovely drink on the terrace.

Luckily, we made our reservation in time. They were hosting two parties. And they were short on staff. But fortunately, they also paid attention to the people sitting on the terrace. We had a delicious meal. Highly recommended.

Very successful BBQ package with a group of nearly 50 people.

Unfortunately, there was no staff available at this time of day, everything was self-service, but the latte and the traditional apple pastry still lifted my spirits.

It's a beautifully located place frequented by many for meals, especially on weekends. With its lovely location and affordable prices, we invite you to visit and enjoy its wonderful atmosphere.

We had coffee with apple pie and whipped cream after a walk; it was very tasty. Friendly staff and nice ambiance.

A lovely restaurant situated by the Buurserbeek for lunch, dinner, or just a drink. Also a beautiful spot for a wedding reception. The menu is solid and consists almost entirely of tasty dishes. The service is friendly. An ideal stopover during a bike ride or walk in the beautiful surroundings of the Buurserzand! This café/restaurant comes across as warm, pleasant, and personal. Owner Iene does everything she can to make you feel at ease. Delicious soups are often served. During sunny, often busier days, you order at the counter and pick up your order yourself. This works quite well, but you sometimes notice that it takes a little longer for your order to be ready. Not a disaster, because you want to enjoy the place and not rush.

The instant coffee is definitely not worth repeating.

Nice location to take a break on the terrace.

Nice place, great location. But €1 per bitterbal and €7 per bottle of beer... where are we going in the Netherlands...

We had a winter BBQ here and it was very well organised!

My friend thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic pea soup here, and how incredibly kind of him to offer me the last cup of pea soup. What hospitality, absolutely fantastic!

A stamppot buffet, delicious, well-prepared stamppots, accompanied by a variety of side dishes. Excellent food, but unfortunately, there were no standouts, surprises, or anything that would send a shiver down your spine. At home, it's harder to organize the food choices at the same time, which makes it a bit more enjoyable. On the plus side, it's neat and clean, and the staff is friendly. And eating such a standard meal doesn't distract you from your conversations or connection with your conversation partners.

A very quaint restaurant on the edge of the forest in Buurserbeek. Great atmosphere, very friendly service, and excellent food. A great place to stop during a lovely bike ride. Open Friday to Sunday only!!! We'd love to come back next time we're in the area.

A cozy and relaxed atmosphere with popular menus. The service is friendly. The price/quality ratio is right.

What a fantastic spot, nestled in tranquil nature on a lovely little canal where you can fish. We rented a space (we decorated ourselves) with a large terrace under the veranda, including our own barbecue and buffet, perfect for family or group gatherings. Delicious food with a wide selection of fish and meat, salads, etc. The atmosphere outside was very pleasant, and inside it looked inviting as well, with plenty of tables.

It's a shame that Google says you're open, but I'm now standing in front of a closed door. Driving all the way from Almelo for nothing...

Unfortunately, the sandwich I ordered was lukewarm. The staff reacted just as lukewarm. Oh, that's a shame.

We moesten wel even wachten maar het eten was erg goed. De omgeving is ook erg mooi en er was bij aankomst meteen een tafel gereed.

Invited to a party of delicious dishes.

Het duurde vrij lang voordat we na de eerste drankjes de menu kaart kregen, ook het voorgerecht liet even op zich wachten (19.00 na reservering 17.30) Maar vanaf dat moment liep het prima, aardig personeel en heerlijk gegeten. We komen vast nog eens terug.!

Food is fine, drinks facilities could be better

Nice location. Friendly staff, ample parking. Good price/quality ratio.

Those burritos were so delicious filled with fresh vegetables. Class!

Good food for a reasonable price. Quality very good and friendly service

Drinking a cup of tea with a good conversation at this nice location, what more could you want! I continued my way whistling🥾

Had a nice arrangement with ball shooting and a bite to eat afterwards. Food surprisingly good!

Food itself well prepared. Only a bit too much garlic used.

Bad coffee, sorbet lawyer was delicious!

Went to Captain Jack for the first time last weekend. Delicious lunch, good price-quality ratio and an absolutely cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff and even with a problem afterwards, they were helped by email. And received a response on a day when they are actually closed. In short, top service. I can recommend this opportunity! Next visit I also want to try dinner at Captain Jack.

Wat een sfeertje binnen, dat in combinatie met super vrolijke, nette en vlotte mensen in de bediening hebben er voor gezorgd dat we een fijne avond hebben gehad. Het was volle bak, maar dat had geen invloed op hoe de service en het eten was. Beide een super lekker stoofpotje gegeten, broodje met smeersels vooraf, biertje er naast (die ook vlot omgeruild werd voor een vol flesje zodra hij leeg was ;) ) en een heerlijke en leuk opgemaakt crème brulee na. We komen hier uiteraard graag terug

Cozy stall. Always a friendly atmosphere. Delicious cup of coffee with apple pie and whipped cream.

Good food, fair price and friendly service. Recommended!

Delicious food, cozy decor and friendly staff

Pleasant and friendly staff, we were there for a team day, when the heater was turned up a little it was a great day.

Nice place and concept. First we played old Dutch games and then a simple buffet which was very tasty. Dessert buffet afterwards which was also good.

A private party with a 5-course dinner. Well organised, delicious food and good service.

Wij werden vanaf de reservering heel vriendelijk te woord gestaan en ik voelde mij welkom. Een vrolijke en aardige gastvrouw. Ik had gekozen voor een brunch om mijn verjaardag te vieren met familie die uit het westen moest komen. Mijn nichtje heeft heerlijk glutenvrij gegeten waar speciale aandacht aan was geschonken. Er was erg veel keus ook voor de vegetarische gasten en het buffet zag er heel erg lekker en feestelijk uit. Ik had gevraagd of wij een beetje apart konden zitten en dat was perfect geregeld. De bediening deed het erg goed en was attent en vriendelijk. Ik heb een geweldige verjaardag gehad en wij hebben heerlijk gegegeten.

Excellent service, we had brunch for the whole family. Neatly arranged

We made a coffee stop here during a club tour with vintage cars. The coffee was excellent (14 opinions out of 17) and, according to one of us, a catering wholesaler, typically THE taste of frozen coffee paste. A shame because the location is beautifully situated and the icing on the cake was that the waitress admitted that she received more complaints about this brew. We decided not to take a chance on the quality of the lunch and went for lunch elsewhere.

Delicious food. Friendly service. Great evening.

Last Sunday we enjoyed lunch on the terrace in the autumn sun. Food was tasty, unfortunately the terrace was self-service despite the nice weather. My son enjoyed the sandbox on the terrace and had to shake it out thoroughly before we got back into the car.

Friendly service, but even though it was quiet we had to wait a long time. A few years later: another delicious meal. It's self-service now. Went fairly smoothly.

A great place to eat out! We think it's a well-known location in the area, but it was our first time there! The menu is modest, but oh well... that prevents choice stress, so to speak! Smooth and friendly service! The black angus steak was cooked well, as we indicated. Fortunately, we had a spot on the spacious terrace under a parasol, next to a robust chestnut tree. Fortunately, that parasol also prevented the wild chestnuts from falling on our heads!

Friendliness comes first here. The food is nice. Beautiful location on the Buurserbeek.

Had a delicious local lunch. Add nice cold buttermilk. Great for each other.

We loved it again, just like other 2 times. The only thing is 3 service for 1 table. 1 brings drinks, 1 other brings food and much later, the cutlery. I had already asked for cutlery and the food person said it would be brought to me shortly... 5 minutes later than dinner and all 3 questions; everything as desired etc. Could be more efficient... But otherwise great again

Nice outside under the canopy BBQ, get your own drinks from a small cooler, nice place, nice surroundings

Self-service on the terrace. Very simple sandwiches. Definitely didn't think it was worth the price

Good food and drinks, friendly staff, free parking, nice location near Enschede, you can enjoy the nature/surroundings along the neighboring Beek, very good

Good quality food. Friendly and helpful staff. Good quality price ratio.

The restaurant was actually already closed, but we were still allowed to join! We had a delicious meal. The family received us very kindly and told all the stories about the origins of the Restaurant. We were the only ones in a super cozy atmosphere and good music.

Captain Jack is a nice place where you can sit not only inside, but also outside. The location on the Buurserbeek is a real plus. Whether you want to sit in the sun or prefer some shade, you can do both here. The menu may not be very extensive, but it is... The dishes on it are all complete meals. Something for everyone, and you know you're in the right place when you join us here. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a relaxing place with good food!

2 Weissenbiers... just under 12 euros... without service!!! Earn money easily!

Good food, good atmosphere and fun activities, a wonderful place

Tijdens de fietsvierdaagse van Enschede was hier een controlepost en omdat we toch moesten afstappen hebben we gelijk maar even wat gedronken en dat was prima in orde. De drankjes waren prima gekoeld en de bediening was vriendelijk.

Prachtige locatie, naast een riviertje. Leuke plek om te zitten. Kleine maar doeltreffende kaart. Voor iedereen iets te eten. Lekkere gekruide gerechten. Als voorgerecht hadden we een courgette soep die erg lekker op smaak gebracht was, een aanrader. Verder een goed gevulde groente burrito en een sate ven de haas. Beide erg leuk opgediend en zeer smakelijk

We ate here twice in the last few days and had a delicious meal. Super friendly service and surprising dishes.

Had to wait quite a long time for the food. It wasn't very good (the food).

Nice location and good food for a nice price

Due to a lack of staff, there is a takeaway counter. I understand, but not pleasant. Not a menu on every table. Delicious toast. Also good parking behind. Also for engines. Place tray in a cart. Also unpleasant. Hope things will be different again!

It was perfect for a team outing, well organised, very nice atmosphere and delicious food!

The catering staff shortage is clearly noticeable at Captain Jack. We were 3 people, 1 of whom had difficulty walking. It had been raining and the tables were all wet, so I asked for a cloth. I was given a stack of napkins. Well, it would have been a bit of service if you as an employee had said (were chatting with each other, were not busy with or for other guests); I'll come over and clean the table. Then I walked back to the counter and asked for a card, because there was a terrace, so self-service. And that's fine if there is a shortage of staff, but surely a card can be placed on the table with a message 'please order at the counter'? Received a response: we don't have a terrace. So I got back what the other 2 wanted. One wanted an ice cream and the other wanted coffee with apple pie, together with another cappuccino and apple pie, that was our order. The order was delivered, without ice. In the end, we had almost finished our coffee and pastries, when the ice cream finally arrived (after speaking to an employee). I just forgot, no excuse or anything that the ice cream arrived so late. Just be honest, that will give you much more understanding than quietly putting down an ice cream and walking away. The girls behind the terrace counter were also not that friendly, very short, disinterested and busy chatting with each other about their 'interesting' topics. This while I was waiting at the counter and at one point I was told: just sit down, my order will be delivered shortly and this was done in a rather snarky manner. This way they could chat about this and that in peace and quiet without me hearing any stories. Very unpleasant. I've heard many good things about Captain Jack, but having had an experience like this myself makes me think it was a one-off visit.

Team building afternoon. Well cared for and well thought out. By working in compartments on the terrace, you have your "own" area. BBQ from the O-fyre, absolutely great!

Even in the rain, great location

Nice environment, everything perfectly arranged

Zaterdagmiddag met mijn echtgenoot geweest en het viel ons helaas erg tegen. Het was zelfbediening tegen een flinke prijs. Naast ons was een feest en kennelijk vond de eigenaar dit belangrijker dan de reguliere gasten. Kwamen hier graag, maar dit was de laatste keer. En personeelstekort en een punt voor even een tussenstop is geen excuus. Dit schreven zij namelijk naar mijn echtgenoot gezien zijn slechte review. Hij was ook niet de enige die slechte ervaringen had op de website. Dan moet je de tent voor betalende gasten gewoon sluiten.

Became a nice snack bar with self-service. Apparently, guests at weddings make more money than we do. Never again!

Café restaurant with takeaway counter for the terrace. No menu or drinks menu. Despite the fact that you have to serve yourself, the prices are as if you had service. Is not true. The atmosphere of what it once was is gone. It has now become a kind of McDonalds.

We had a delicious meal and we were served very politely.

Great place to have a bite to eat or a nice cup of coffee.

A real shame for such a beautiful location. Self-service (in itself strange for such a small business), a virtually non-existent menu unless you want ham, cheese or croquettes on bread at exorbitant prices. Everything feels like a snack bar next to a swimming pool. But they usually have more choice in terms of food. It just doesn't smell like chlorine. More like the 200 tractors that drive by every hour. Captain Jack from that 90's song is turning in his grave.

We came quite late for a drink on the terrace on a beautiful summer evening. Even though we arrived close to closing time, no effort was too great. Enjoyed a drink with something tasty. Thank you!

Op de terugweg van de bioscoop met een kinderfeestje hier op het terras patat (met snack) gegeten. Alles was tot in de puntjes verzorgd met een verrassing na. Wij komen zeker terug!

Good food and drinks and great service

Nice place to stop during a walk or bike ride. Had a drink here on the terrace. Didn't eat anything, but I think that's fine here too.

April 2024 This catering facility is located along a main road, next to the stream. You look out onto the terrace from the road. It's a shame that a natural separation has not been created. Spots on the terrace overlooking the stream are nice. The terrace is self-service. At least... that is indicated everywhere and there are overcrowded, impractical carts where you can place a tray. Some guests are served at the table. But the vast majority receive a beeper. Upon arrival there is a full ashtray on the table. Which is still there when we leave. The nachos were very dark, almost burnt, when I pick them up at the counter.

It was fun, friendly and the food was great and a big thank you to the top staff

Fantastic food, tasty.!!!! Excellent kitchen, kudos to the chef.

Friendly staff Excellent buffet food

We had a very nice party. Perfect room for smaller groups.

Cosy, informal atmosphere. Friendly and hospitable staff. Tasty stew buffet.

We found this restaurant with a beautiful outside seating area right at the canal "Buurser Beek" by accident on a bike ride. The location is beautiful, service is good and the meals are better than average. We had just coffee and cakes but some other guests we spoke to recommended having lunch or dinner there, too.

Prima geluncht, lekkere kaart, gezellig.

Leuk restaurant maar er is waarschijnlijk personeelsgebrek waardoor het allemaal wat amateuristisch lijkt. Eten was goed voor een goede prijs. Met goed personeel en wat meer aandacht voor de details zo het best leuk kunnen zijn. Update: Vandaag geweest i.v.m. familiefeestje nu was de bediening top en professioneel. En ook het buffet was prima. Dus eerste deel van tekst is een beetje achterhaald voor dit moment

Richtig lecker Essen und reichlich. Nette , freundliche Mitarbeiter und Atmosphäre. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Leuke locatie voor een familiedag met BBQ en leuke Oud Hollandse spelletjes! Vlotte vriendelijke bediening en goede kwaliteit van eten. Een nadeel vond ik wel dat de grote ronde BBQ van staal, waarbij het vlees op een brede rand word gelegd, hout gestookt is, niet echt meer van deze tijd! Tevens hing in al onze kleren een gore brandlucht.

Ook al woon ik in de buurt, nooit eerder geweest. Mooie plek en uitvalbasis na het wandelen!

Super gezellige middag en avond gehad met een smakkelijk warm en koud buffet als afsluiting 👌👌👌

Op aanraden van andere campinggasten in Enschede, bij Captain Jack gaan eten. Gereserveerd voor 2 pers. Voorgerecht duurde 40 min.(pers.problematiek) maar daarna ging het vlotter. Personeel erg vriendelijk en vlot.Hoofdgerechten runderstoofpotje en kipwokpotje heerlijk, uitstekend en ruim voldoende, ook de bijgerechten zoals frietjes, wedges e.d. Nagerecht ook heel erg goed. Al met al ruim 2 uur getafeld.Echt een aanrader!!

Zaterdagmiddag aan het eind van de middag was er niet veel meer te doen, de bediening was traag ( ook vreemd bij zelfbediening) en onervaren. Ondanks alles is de ligging natuurlijk prachtig en kun je er heerlijk zitten.

Mooie en sfeervolle lokatie in een prachtige omgeving qua ligging.

Vind het normaal altijd fijn om erheen te gaan, maar door de drukte en te kort aan personeel merk ik dat hun vriendelijkheid minder wordt en laten ze jou gerust een uur wachten ook al had je gereserveerd.

Tijdens wielrennen lekker appelgebakje gegeten. Ondanks dat er maar 1 medewerker was werdenwerden we toch goed geholpen.

Het 3 gangen diner was heel smaakvol en keurig opgediend. Het personeel is vriendelijk en bedient goed en snel. Jammer dat wij zover weg wonen anders kwamen we hier vaker! Tip: ga het gewoon proberen en genieten.
