I had the lobster roll, and let me tell you, it was 90% fantastic and just a tiny 10% off. They might have overcooked it a little, making the claw meat a touch dry, but the filling was generous and absolutely delicious! My husband opted for the catch of the day fish sandwich, and it stole the spotlight. Packed with perfectly cooked fish, it was truly mouthwatering. But the real star of our meal? The red beans and rice. Oh my goodness, it was to die for! I'd return just for that dish in a heartbeat! read more

I was in the area for an event. I have heard the advertisement and finally got the urge to takeout from them. I decided to try the $9.79 Great Lakes perch sandwich with a regular order of $2.99 hush puppies. The server was informing me of the 14 hush puppies for $5.59, but I needed to resist all the fried food. I am giving this review 4 stars because of the perch. They had a few bones which made me concerned to eat as a sandwich. Perch tasted goo, but I wished it could be grilled with seasoning. The pickles were tangy and onions were fresh. Held the tomato. Lettuce was crisp. The bun was toasted. The hush puppies were aromatic, tasted delicious, and contained corn. Now in the front lot, free parking is limited to the weekends and during weekdays' lunch rush of 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. How unfortunate! It should be at least free after work, too. Hint, hint to encourage more customers. read more

Amazing restaurant with several locations. I went to the one at AMP in 16-Tech. I got the lobster roll and baked beans. WOW was it good. The lobster roll was very fresh and the portion of lobster was so generous. The baked beans were amazing, too. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast. The AMP is a very nice location. It's pretty much a typical food hall, and it works! In the past I've had fried catfish and fried okra, too. Both were AMAZING. The catfish was so fresh, too. They have such a huge menu with so many options. It's hard to find sea food this good in Indiana. Caplinger's is DEFINITELY a must visit in Indy. read more

We didn't know what to expect since we wanted fresh fish/seafood and this is a market and restaurant. Wondering if it is going to be smelly? Nope, I could only smell the cooking food. It was served hot and was excellent. Many of the customers seemed to be regulars, seating is fast food vibe. We are definitely going back to try other menu items. Only downfall, no beer to go with the fish. read more

Caplinger's is one of the only places I go to for fresh fried fish outside of when I catch and cook my own. Food is always fresh, fast and delicious, this location is very unique because there's a variety of other restaurants, businesses you can also patronize as well, a very nice place to visit for lunch if you're downtown Indianapolis! read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Catfish Sandwich Mac & Cheese Hushpuppies Collard Greens - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place never disappoints, and is always busy! If you're craving seafood this is the place to go. You may have to wait a little longer for your order but rest assured it will be fresh and there's nothing like a hot fish sandwich. I'm not a huge fan of their fries but the collard greens and red beans and rice hit the spot! They also have a fresh fish counter if you want to grab something to cook at home with all the seasonings you can image and several different seafood salads and fish dip. This is a counter service restaurant and seating can get a little tricky if you're there at prime lunch or dinner time so beware, but you can always get it to go! read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Caplinger Sandwich with red beans and rice - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I have been to the other location but this was my first time here. I did not know it was like a food court at a mall. But, the food court was really slow even on a Friday evening. At first, I thought the entire building was shutdown. However, I did see some people inside so decided to give it a try. I got softshell crab sandwich as I remembered it was good at the other location I have tried. It was good and would order it again. Wait was not long at all, service was good. I really don't know why the entire place is so slow. read more

Oh, it's so sad to see Ken N. visited here 2 months ago. RIP Ken :-( My oh my my smoked tuna salad sandwich had a good smoked flavor to it. I loved how it had the right consistency for tuna salad. The lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sliced onions all worked so well together. The buns they use are baked by Corner Stone Bakery. I had a hard time choosing which side because they all sounded so good. Hush puppies, sweet corn with old bay seasoning, and fried okra with remoulade sauce were the contender's. I need to remember to get that sauce to try with them. Fried okra won and they were good and hot. They give you a nice sized sandwich and good amount of fried okra. I would definitely order it again. I'm glad they're in the AMP and if you haven't tried Caplinger's I would definitely try them. They have a big menu and also have desserts - pineapple bread pudding with vanilla cream sauce - yum- Mrs. Wick's sugar cream pie, Mrs. Wick's pecan pie, key lime pie, cake by the slice - cheesecake, chocolate cake, carrot cake, limoncello mascarpone cheese - yum - Can't wait to try more! read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Smoked tuna salad sandwich and fried okra. Great! - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The crab cakes with remoulade sauce are so yummy, but a little pricey... market price, in fact. I would suggest getting the dinner which comes with two crab cakes and two sides and hush puppies for about $20. The cakes alone are $10 each. The greens are flavorful and spicy and the yams are nice and sweet! read more

When you come into the AMP from the new road with all the free on street parking between Waterway Blvd and Indiana Ave, Caps is located behind the barber shop. They are right beside Mambo's. The Shrimp Po-Boy was excellent! The shrimp were a tad larger than medium size. And plentiful unlike that famous N'Awlins fast food chain. I deleted the onion and Remoulade Sauce. The sandwich comes on a toasted Hoagie roll instead of the traditional French Bread. I think this is healthier. My side order for my combo was the Red Beans and Rice which turned out to be too spicy for me. Not to worry because they have ten other quality sides to choose from next time. I totally missed the desserts AND the Gator Bites appetizer. I definitely have to come back and keep blinders on so as not to be distracted by the other food vendors. read more

Caplinger's Fresh Catch - Shrimp Po Boy with Red Beans and Rice - Seafood Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Downtown Indy has a new seafood option & the good news is that with the popularity of the other Caplinger's locations around the city, you already know it's amazing. This new location is in the AMP, Indy's newest food hall located off of Indiana Ave, just south of 16th Street. I recently tried the lobster roll, one of the pricier items on the menu at $18.99, but it's well worth it. It's a generous portion of fresh, meaty, well seasoned lobster salad on a toasted pretzel roll & soooo good! The other things I've tried at their other locations have also been delicious and a great value for such quality seafood. This AMP location offers the same menu as the other locations, so come out and get sandwiches, melts, dinners, sides and dessert. read more

Love me a lobster roll. I have been wanting a lobster roll for weeks. They've closed their Whitestown/ Zionsville location ( sad face). Tonight we were close by Amp and my husband had other choices. Roll was very full of big lobster chunks. Great flavor. Only complaint would be the buffalo fries were super greasy. 28$ for Sandwich , fry and drink. read more

Not sure what happened to my previous review of this location Ib thought that this location was closet to me since the Whitestown location closed BUT I learned today that their food truck is located daily at 71st and Michigan Road!!!!! This location is inside The Amp. Street parking is scarce but there's paid parking across the street. The service was friendly like the other locations and fish is cooked to order so there's a bit of a wait. There's plenty of open seating available nearby to enjoy great piped in music while you wait. It was Monday so half of the restaurants were closed. I ordered the Caplinger Special sandwich combo with collard greens and fountain drink. The sandwich was a large piece of basa that spilled out of the delicious bun with all the toppings and cooked just right. Crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The collards were tender and seasoned well. Way to go Caplinger for consistency at all locations! read more

This place is new to the the AMP but not to Indy. It has sooo many seafood options there is something for everyone whether your presence is fried, fresh or battered. The entire ordering process and time to get your food was extremely fast. I ordered two lobster rolls for takeout and travelled all the way to broad ripple with them before eating. These actually travelled very well since they were Maine-type lobster rolls which means they are served cold and covered in mayo as opposed to hot with butter (which is actually my fave). It makes sense to have the addition of a seafood place in the amp how they have similar options at The Garage nearby and they are a hit. read more

Decided to grab Caplingers for takeout. I ordered the special with two sides. I like my fish fried hard and it was anything but that. My fish was mushy and the batter would fall off. For my sides I asked for greens and sweet potatoes. I received neither and instead got home fries. Not sure whether they were sold out or what but I would have appreciated communication on that so that I could have chose different sides of my liking. Don't get me wrong, the fish was still flavorful and their tartar sauce is unmatched for me. I will definitely give it another try but this time I will be sure to make give my order in person and check what I've received. read more

It's so amazing to have fresh seafood in Indianapolis In! If you love seafood you'll love Caps fresh catch! Several locations! The 71st and Shadeland location includes a seafood market! I love being able to either eat in or choose from a large variety of seafood to take home and put on the Big green egg! Staff is amazing! Owner brilliant and food is outstanding! read more

One of the newest places to eat inside the AMP is the latest expansion ofCaplinger's fresh catch seafood. I Was there briefly to order their special of fish and chips along with a side. My favorite side is the collard greens. It seemed the breading on the fish wasn't quite as crispy as l had desired. The breading seemed more crumby and so I rate this location lower than some of the sites. Seating is plentiful inside the AMPs food court. Parking is still random while the garage is under construction. For a change of pace from fast food lunches stop by here.Review #3981 read more

I was excited to go to the AMP for the first time, and I tried Caplinger's as my food choice. I ordered a shrimp po boy that came loaded with shrimp and toppings.

Great seafood, excellent staff. It's all delicious Grouper & shrimp were fried perfectly. I can't wait to go back!

Sent my husband to get me their 1/2 pound of fried shrimp with okra and cornbread. The gentleman rang him up for a shrimp trio which is NOT what I asked for, & I definitely heard him (my husband) order the correct shrimp that I wanted. Ended up wasting money, because my order was made wrong & the food was soggy. I wasn't happy read more

Super close to me & a great place for key lime pie! Fish sandwich is the best! So are the buffalo fries! Highly recommend! Will def be back!

It was between chicken wings and catfish today. I chose catfish. It was a good choice. The fish was hot, thankfully because there is nothing worse than cold fish. It was tasty but I also added a crap ton of hot sauce, because, why not. While this place is expensive, I think I'll try it again. read more

Not as good as the other locations. Service was alright food was barely cooked and had no flavor... green beans literally straight from the can, not dressed up with the basic salt and pepper...Even with it being in a "cool location," it was not that exciting. read more

Great food and service. One problem is that the guy handling the food doesn't wear gloves. I watched him touch the food and package it.

Cold soup, cold sandwich, yummy! stopped at the new location at AMP, amped about the new Caplinger location. my wife and I ordered clam chowder and a cheese covered seafood dish, the chowder literally was as cold as if they they scooped it from the refrigerator to the bowl (others returned it also for the same reason). the seafood dish which was intended to be served hot with melted cheese was also cold (plus I ordered it without onions and green peppers which they neglected to remove). overall easil the worst lunch that I've had in months and I eat out daily. read more

Was craving fish and chips, and found this place via Yelp. Decent fish, but imo can't compare to the fried fish at 9 Irish Brothers. The French fries (chips) were just ok. You get a plentiful portion, but found them to be a bit soft rather than crispy, and despite the buffalo seasoning, just underwhelming. The tarter sauce was an interesting change from the usual mayo and relish. This sauce was more sweet and a bit more liquidy. The cole slaw was slightly spicy and very tasty. I ordered the greens, too, and they were deliciously flavorful. I wanted the banana pudding, but was informed it isn't offered at this location. Had the pineapple bread pudding instead. Soooo good! I called ahead and ordered, and was glad I did. There was quite a line when I got there. Learned that you don't have to stand in line if you've ordered ahead. Just go up to the counter, and tell them you ordered ahead. read more
