Captain D's
Description
Captain D's offers a mixed dining experience that mirrors its varied reviews. While some patrons enjoy well-cooked seafood and friendly service, others have encountered order inaccuracies and inattentive staff. The restaurant's atmosphere has been described as shabby, which detracts from the experience despite the reasonable prices for food. Notably, service can lag during busy hours, and there have been concerns about early cutoffs for specific menu items. However, a few loyal customers appreciate the fresh, flavorful dishes and warm hospitality, making it a hit among those who hit it at the right times. Overall, it's a gamble worth contemplating.

It has been a while since my last visit to Captain D's, and after my recent experience, it might be a while before I return. I appreciate that finding help is challenging, so I won't criticize the staff. However, my order was incorrect, and I was overcharged. Given the amount of time I had already spent there, I wasn't willing to go back and resolve the issue. Sometimes, it's just easier to let it go than to try to sort things out.
Rude experience! I placed a DoorDash pickup order and received a text saying my food was ready. However, when I arrived at the restaurant 45 minutes later, they hadn't even started preparing my order yet! The cashier said, "YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND LEAVE IF YOU WANT." Why would I leave without the food I already paid for? She was clearly frustrated, and I ultimately decided to leave because I didn’t want someone who couldn't manage their job handling my food. Unfortunately, this is the only Captain D's in the area.
I've visited this location three times (once at 8 PM, another at 8:05, and a third time at 8:15), and despite them closing at 10 PM, they consistently do not offer grilled fish after 8 PM. There's no explanation for this, they simply don't have it! Is there a specific cutoff time for ordering grilled fish during the day?
The food was good, although the person taking my order seemed a bit confused, but they ultimately got it right. It took a little while for the food to arrive, but it was hot and fresh when it did. I don’t eat at Captain D's very often, but when I do, it's always consistently good—hot and fresh. Just be prepared to wait a bit. We need more Captain D's locations across the country!
I was welcomed by an employee outside who took my order, but unfortunately, they were out of almost everything. I managed to choose a few items that they actually had, but after waiting for 20 minutes, when I finally got to the window, they asked what I had ordered. It was only at that point that they started preparing my meal. The service left much to be desired. It seems like there are always issues with staff and supplies in this area. Interestingly, the more they earn, the less motivated they appear to be.
