    15 Piece Butterfly Shrimp Meal (Fries, broccoli, hush puppies)
    Paige N.

    The experience was great. I went through the drive through however the shrimp are so small you bite your cheeks. The lady kept asking were we sure about what we wanted but she was friendly about add ons.

    I enjoy the food here, but the service is hit or miss. All the staff just did a really terrible job of making me feel like a welcome customer, and they really seemed like they were not genuinely happy to have my business. Angela wouldn't even answer my question about the menu until I told her if it was 'for here or to go' first, and then she gave me an attitude about giving me the sauce that I wanted to go with my order. Angela was unwilling, or unable to answer my questions about the menu other than just pointing at it on the wall, which I didn't consider to be very knowledgeable or very helpful at all. She yelled to the back to change my order for "to go", as if it were some inconvenience, but I don't see what difference it makes, since all the orders are served in the same styrofoam and cardboard containers, which you could see at the tables where other customers were seated. Angela was really rude the entire time talking to someone else over the intercom, and yawning with her mouth wide open while taking my order. They also did a terrible job of preparing my order, because I ordered the shrimp and crab fisherman basket, but they gave me crab and fried oysters. When they served my food, instead of handing it to me and saying "thanks" they just left it on the counter in front of my face as she was talking to someone else on the intercom. The staff are poorly trained to fulfill your orders, and even less so to attend the customers. They don't welcome your business, nor treat you like a valued customer, and they are not skilled at preparing unsophisticated, deep fried bar food. Unhelpful amateurs are lazy, giving customers an attitude, and this is what they call "working". Rude, unprofessional, the worst.

    Having Captain D's was a first for me & a last. We sat in Line for nearly 20 mins to get (2) meals. Once we got home & sat down to eat while it was still hot. Only to bite down into some fish with a Bunch of Bones in it. That'll ruin your appetite real quick! Never again

    Haven't had Captain D's in over a decade! Passed through the area and decided to give it a shot . Service was great. Staff was friendly . Establishment was clean and the food and prices is good! Fries were like warm but everything else was on point! They do need to repaint the parking lines in the parking lot because it's hard to see where you're parking.

    Grill Atlantic salmon was good but some of the rice was hard. They had a good baked baked potato. Battled deep cod was good.

    Great food, good service, quick cooks, but fried food there has WAY too much breading. Semms like an underseen buisness.

    Off the chain they have table waiters and the food is good. They've added fried pickles and green tomatoes menu is better than Red Bobster.

    I was in search of some catfish in the area and came across this place. They had decent reviews and…read morepictures so why not. I ordered the 10pc catfish nugget with fries and it did not meet my expectations. I expected the nuggets to be bigger or at least thicker. What I received, I could barely call nuggets. It appeared like cracklings... barely any fish at all. Because of this, I had to toss at least 4 of them (see video). On top of that, it was not seasoned well so I didn't even get a taste of satisfaction. Same with the fries - it was bland. The entire meal was a wash and I unfortunately I had to secure a back-up meal elsewhere. The menu seemed promising, but this experience left a sub par first impression. On a brighter note, the staff were very friendly and people seemed to have enjoyed their daiquiris.

    I'm not even gonna lie... this might be the best Cajun restaurant I've ever been to in my life. The…read morevibes are on point, the drinks are dangerous (in a good way), and the food? Man... somebody grandma definitely in that kitchen. First off, the fish nuggets... listen... I almost ordered another plate before I even finished the first one. Crispy, seasoned, and disrespectfully good. My taste buds started doing the two-step. Now let's talk about that Triple Bypass drink. Whoever named it knew EXACTLY what they were doing. That drink so smooth it sneaks up on you like a ninja. One minute you chilling, next minute you looking at your friends like "hold up... why the room vibing like this?" Wait time? Not bad at all. Service? 100 out of 10. At this point I'm convinced the staff woke up and chose excellence. Rain, sleet, snow, alien invasion -- I'm still pulling up. This place will reset your whole mood and put a Cajun bounce in your soul. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when you leave full, happy, and a little tipsy.
