Cap'n Jacks no more lobster tails

[Nohal]

We ate at Cap'n Jacks on 9/23 and 9/25 as we love the lobster tails. We commented on them to our waitress and she said they were taking them off the menu and replacing them with crab cakes. We were very disappointed. Looks like another menu item bites the dust.

but crab cakes are already appetizers at capn jacks....

The crab cakes are bigger than the appetizer and the waitress said that she has had them and they are full of chunks of crab. She said that they were good. I'm still disappointed that they are taking away the tails.

THEY HAVE BEEN OFFICAL REMOVED. I need to cancel my ADR for here now for NYE!

They were removed on October 4 (approximate date) and replaced with the crab cakes.

I walked by there on October 4 and the lobster tails were not on the outside menu.

Some have reported that the crab cakes are quite good.

This is because it is a victim of the Basic Disney Dining Plan!

Unfortunately, many people on the DDP, whether they pay for it directly or paying a higher rate for their room and getting "free" dining, look to the highest price items on the menu. This is based either on the attitude of "I paid for it and can get whatever I want" or "as long as it's free, let's get the best items".

For example, at Le Cellier where is a $22.50 difference in price between the lowest price adult lunch entree and the highest price dinner entree. Each restaturant receives a fixed dollar amount credit for each meal sold under DDP. Each restaurant has to make a profit.

As food costs go up it takes more money to operate a restaurant.

So as things progress more and more of the higher end cost items will vanish.

The signature restaurants do not have so much of a problem as they get paid double the regular restaurants.

If they ever do away with the Basic DDP within about six months you will find a lot more high end selections at all the restaurants.

1) Yep.
