Opened in 1974, Captain Windy Seafood Inn was an offshot of the ever-popular Riverview Inn. Not being too familiar with this place, it appears to be the Riverview Inn's attempt at having an eatery inside the city limits. Not sure how long it lasted for or if Capt Windy was directly involved.

I remember Cap'n Windy at this restaurant as the "host." A wonderful childhood memory.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Windy Seafood Inn was a favorite of mine when I was a child living in Charlotte in late 60s to 1972. As was the old Shakeys Pizza parlor. Captain Windy greeted you as you entered, and wait staff was always dressed up as pirates. I remember it broke my heart when my parents told me they had a fire and it burned down. They supposedly reopened under the name Riverview Inn, but I was disappointed when we went back and things were changed. No more pirates, nor Captain Windy there.
