Description

At this Captain D’s location seafood ranges from perfectly grilled to overly greasy or undercooked, and service fluctuates between warm, efficient staff and brusque, indifferent moments. Drive‑thru and counter service often deliver fresh, made‑to‑order meals, but inconsistent portions, occasional cleanliness and parking problems, and a worn, noisy interior temper the experience. Families and seafood lovers willing to tolerate fried fare may enjoy it, though guests should expect variability and check orders carefully.

I had dinner with my family this evening, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly friendly. They made sure to check on us several times to see how everything was and if we needed anything.

The service was exceptional, and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. I would particularly like to thank Sheila, who was on duty in the morning. She was incredibly warm and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

The staff here was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding! I ordered the lemon pepper grilled whitefish, and for once, the dish was cooked to perfection—it was the best I've ever had. Usually, at other Captain D's locations, the fish is not cooked properly, and I often find myself questioning whether it's fully cooked. Since it’s fish, it definitely needs to be handled right. However, this location nailed it! I'm really pleased to have a reliable Captain D's in our area. I noticed someone mentioned a longer wait in the drive-thru, but that didn't bother me at all. It probably means they prepare everything fresh to order, which is especially crucial for seafood. I’m more than willing to wait for fresh, hot meals!

The customer service from the cashier was absolutely terrible. She showed no empathy towards customers and was quite unhelpful.
