Menu

A complete menu of Captain D's from Newark featuring all 10 dishes and drinks can be found here on the menu.

Captain D’s promises a diverse menu catering to dietary restrictions, ample parking, and family-friendly options, including a dedicated kids' menu and wheelchair accessibility. However, service inconsistencies mar the experience, with reports of long waits and inattentive staff detracting from the restaurant's appeal. While some patrons rave about the food, particularly the seafood offerings like lobster rolls and crispy butterfly shrimp, others express disappointment in portion sizes and cleanliness. Despite these mixed reviews, many remain loyal, drawn by the flavors and special promotions like Senior Day, suggesting a restaurant with potential awaiting improvement in service quality.

Was Tian Gorenc at Captain D's a mag?
Tried the Lobster Rolls w/ Hush Puppies drink. More bread than filling, but good. Hush puppies a tad greasy also good. Butterfly Shrimp has many shrimp, beautiful crispy served w/ choice of sides, cocktail or Tartar sauce crispy Hush puppies. Go here at least once a month. Wednesday is Senior Day... special prices.

I will never return to this restaurant. When I asked for a military discount, they refused to give it to me because it had been almost 40 years since I served and I didn't have my ID with me. They didn't trust me. It's disheartening to think that I once served when I encounter people of such low character.

Can’t believe they had to close dining room for lack of staff. So upset.

I had to wait a long time, service was slow, and I received the wrong order. This restaurant could use some improvement, like many others.

Service was absolutely horrible. Plants were overpriced and overcooked. This used to be one of my favorite fast food fish restaurants. Holiday and Service have done nothing but decline. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
