This was by far my best fast food experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delivered to our table as if we were in a sit-down restaurant. Before I could get up to go ask for a to-go box, a lady came out with the perfect sized box and a brown paper bag for us. She even told us to leave our empty plates and napkins and such on the table and that she would take care of it. I miss the Captain D's in Manassas, and will happily drive 44-miles to Fredericksburg just to come to this Captain D's. The food, the service, everything was top notch! I hope the manager sees this and shares it with his or her wonderful staff! read more

Went to captain D's today only to hear the lady at the counter yelling at a customer who was trying to place an order and having to be told that they are short staffed and that is why she is talking to someone else while taking his order and appearing to be disrespectful. He walked out and as he was leaving, the cashier yelled you're disrespectful out loud. After I saw that the lead person stood there and didn't say anything to the cashier after this remark to a customer was made, I walked out before placing my order. The customer is suppose to be right, I guess not. read more

After so many years of great fish, it's sad to taste such a difference. I've tried twice in two weeks & it's been very disappointing. The batter is the same but fish is so mushy I couldn't distinguish if it was actually fish. I am very because my family catered to this place for decades & now I am embarrassed to take them & will not. Very heart breaking read more

After living in the area for nearly 30 years and seeing this restaurant so many times over the years and it was always packed (drivethru always seems to have a long line) I finally stopped in on a weekday for lunch and they were packed, but I was promptly taken care of. The menu looks interesting, not juts the typical fried fast food fish joint, as they had grilled options too. I opted for their spicy fish sandwich and the picture of the butterfly shrimp appealed to me, so I tried their smallest quantity of those, which was 5. Total price for everything was under $10! Food came out quick and it was all piping hot! Looked fantastic, even the shrimp looked just like the picture! The shrimp tasted great! Definitely not the typical over-breaded fried fast food shrimp! The fish sandwich was piping hot, had to let it cool to eat it, but once I dug into it, it tasted great! Not much spice to it, for being labeled a spicy fish sandwich, but tasty none-the-less. The cole slaw wasn't very good tho, it was bland. The lobby could have used some attention, as the tables were in different ranges of cleanliness from crumbs to greasy or both. Overall - Loved it and would definitely return! read more

Super quick service and Irving was so kind and helpful to me and my family. Thank you!

I love Captain D's. Their fish warms my greasy little heart and the loaded baked potato is delicious. I don't live in F'burg anymore, but whenever my Father picks me up from the train station Captain D's is our lunch spot! (When my Mother picks me up I get a diet lemonade from Chick-fil-A and no delicious greasy fish. Not cause I'm fat but she doesn't want her car to smell like fried fish and vinegar. That is what she tells me anyway. IT IS NOT BECAUSE I'M FAT!!) Ok - possibly it is because I'm fat. But the fish is delicious and the people that work there are just wonderful. Really nice people with great customer service. I am always impressed with them. If you're in the Burg check it out. It's not fine dining but it's really good fast food fried fish. read more

Staff very friendly, food affordable but the restaurant is dirty. trash on floors, dirty tables, bathroom dirty and soaked floor mats that smelled was rolled up next to the soda machine. read more

It's been a minute since we've had Captain D's. Drive thru was super busy. It's still great, greasy, fast food. Lunch special: 2 piece fish, 2 hushpuppies, fries and a drink for $5.99. Everything was hot and fresh. read more

Great food. Extremely friendly service. I will definitely stop in whenever I'm passing through Fredricksburg.

I've never been to a Captain D's. Though I only had the baked potato, it was perfect! I'm excited to go back with my husband. The establishment was very neat and clean. The entire staff was so friendly! It was a pleasure eating there! Just wanted to say that we were there Tuesday, October 3rd around 3pm. The young lady who took our order and brought us our food provided phenomenal customer service. Never having been to your establishment, I'd thought the process worked like other "fast food" places in that one waits at the counter area for the food. When she said for us to take a seat and she'd bring us our meal, I was really impressed! She was very kind and stopped by our table a few times to see if we needed anything! Great experience! Thank you! read more

The staff at this Captain D's is OUTSTANDLY Friendly and Patient and Kind! The staff goes out of their way to be friendly and kind to customers! Additionally, I was really impressed with the taste and quality of the seafood and sides! My meal here was the Best Fastfood Seafood I have ever had at a Fastfood Seafood restaruant! read more

Ok I love Captain D's and fried shrimp is one of my favorite foods. The people are friendly even when it's busy and the prices are decent. My only problem is the shrimp is NEVER deveined. It's absolutely gross. I went here last year and noticed every piece of shrimp still had the digestive vein. It was difficult to finish my meal and I convinced myself that maybe it was just a one time thing, I had never noticed it before. I finally gave it another chance today and nope. Every piece of shrimp has a big vein left in it. This is the only place I've been that doesn't devein them. The taste is great but I really can't get over that. Picking and pulling it out doesn't work well when it's already fried so it just breaks off into segments and gets all over the shrimp. The shrimp tastes great, hush puppies are some of the best but please. Please devein the shrimp. read more

This is a typical Captain D's with typical Captain D's Fair. However I'm giving them five stars because the wait staff is so friendly. They have a younger staff which is typical these days in a fast food restaurant. But someone has taught them that being nice to customers is good business. Bravo Captain D's read more

The issue here is Captain D's Plan for Doing Business. This is the only restaurant and restaurant chain, that limits Senior Citizen Discounts to ONLY TWO DAYS A WEEK. Not only that, Senior Citizens do not have discount access to the entire menu but to a limited selection decided by Captain D's. How about that? As if herded in and corraled like a herd of cattle. How does this play in "we want you to return?" Not very well. When Senior Citizens become a customer problem, guess what? They go elsewhere. I will comment positively to the never discounted Lobster Roll not offered at some other restaurants. read more

I must say flavor is good, service is fair to snappy . Amt of food and presentation has a lot to be desired. They cut the servings in half and increased the price, as if no one would notice. PLS LONG JON SILVER come back read more

Deliscious food and friendly staff. Recommending it if your wanting some delicious fish and fries and all that comes with!! read more

I love Captain D's. I go there every 7 to 10 days. Their food is always fresh and tasty. The staff if friendly and willing to please. The wait may be several minutes bc the food is cooked to order. And, the prices haven't changed ...yet. Thank you. read more

Ordered at the drive thru on Thursday, February 10 and could see through the window that most of the staff were not wearing their masks properly. Crossing this place off my list of places to grab a meal. read more

3.5 stars How can you go wrong with fried foods??? I don't know but I do know that when you are looking for some fried seafood and fries this is one of the places to go in Fredricksburg. Yes, it' fast food but sometimes you just need a little bit of the stuff to get you though the day, week or month. I used to treat myself to Captain D's once a month and would get the fried fish and chicken platter with hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries and at almost 1500 calories you can't do this very often unless you want to clog your heart but it is so worth it as treat very so often! read more

Captain D's - Seafood Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Anyone who thinks he's coming here to get good seafood has no idea what good seafood is. We came here upon request of my mother-in-law, who DOES happen to think this is good seafood. This is simply nothing more than fast food seafood, and you get what you pay for, which is not much. The battered and fried meals are greasy, with WAY too much breading, and the grilled meals are dry and overcooked. The only reason i gave 2 stars is because the service qas quite good, and the young man who delivered our meals and took them away was exceptionally courteous and friendly. But next time I want mediocre seafood, I'll go to Red Lobster. read more

Dishonest. First, forced to go through drive through because of corona, which is fine. First sign is homemade with a bunch of pictures, no prices. I like the fish so wanted volume discount. Then had a ten piece fish pack which is great. Get to the ordering spot with the real sign and only have a 10-piece meal on the sign. So I asked if they had a ten piece fish without the meal and she said yes. So I ordered the ten piece fish and realized it was kind of expensive but first time ordering there I just went with it. After driving off and reading the receipt, she charged me 5 2-piece fish orders! Deceptive. I didn't want ten pieces if I had to buy 5 2-pieces, the smallest denomination for the largest price. To make matters worse, could have just paid $4 more for the full meal. Cashier should have just told me no, that they did not have a ten pack and let me decide the volume of fish I wanted to order. More greedy restaurants taking advantage of corona. read more

Fish and hush puppies crispy and delicious as always. Tried the green beans on a whim over slaw today and they were delicious.

So after sitting through the drive- thru for about 25 mins I pulled up to the window to pay and I wanted to put my mask on and the Cashier says to me "just hand me the money" so I hand him my card and I was thrown off by that but I let it go because I figured he was just trying move as fast as possible because the line was so long , fine so he tells me to pull around front and they would bring my food out to me, I legit sat for another 25 minutes longer other people were getting the food before me and had pulled out after me , I then read the receipt and they wrote "Die" on it , I honestly can't believe they would write something like this it mad e me not want to even eat my food. I Will never be coming to this location again after this. read more

Captain D's - Seafood Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Called twice before I got there amd was tokd they closed at 11. It was 10:30 when we got there and no one would come to the window to take our order. To make it worse, as we left, we saw a gentleman in the front on his cell phone laughing as we blew the horn to get his attention. Yet he still refused to walk over! I called while outaide and talked to Charlie, the manager. I let him know about the issue (not that he wasnt inside listening) and that I would be contacting their corporate office. Piss poor service. Glad I saved my money! read more

I have been eating here for 20+ years and today was a awful experience. The person that waited on me was the rudest ever. I won't be going to this location again. Customer service was awful. Food fair. read more

This place does not look like much, but it is great fun. The food was very good, but expensive for a diner. We ordered the crab, crab cakes, and shrimp. The orders come with a large portion of fries and hushpuppies. The young people working there are delightful. Teens everywhere could use these polite and competent youth as an example. The restaurant was clean and kitschy. read more

This was my wife and I's first time going to a Captain D's ever. We both ordered combos, I got the the Whitefish, crab and Shrimp Combo and my wife got the 15 piece shrimp. The employee brought out the food to us and my wife's shrimp wasn't properly de-veined and the veins were fried into the every single shrimp, my wife nor I are a fan of eating fried fecal matter so I went to the counter to send it back a few of the employees looked at me like I was crazy and claimed they were de-veined and I pointed out the fecal matter filled veins fried to the shrimp there was a pause and finally a manager got involved and resolved things. The food wasn't bad, but overall not sure if I'd go back. read more

Everything was great from the service at the counter to the food. Everyone was friendly and made you feel like they appreciated you being there. Restaurant was clean and orderly. This is the first time we have been here and will be back. Thanks for a great experience. read more

This place has something for everyone...as long as what everyone wants is fried. That said there some broiled options, but fried is the way to go. I've had the fried oyster platter, a deal at $7.99 special. I have also had the fried fish (excellent). They have ala carte pieces of fish, seafood or chicken for just over a dollar, which is a good supplement to your dinner. The prices are great for good quality seafood. Good crispy batter. Friendly service. read more

This is by far the best seafood I've had in a very long time. This is the first time I've had hush puppies that were soft and delicious. The popcorn shrimp was absolutely amazing read more

I would like to thank the crew of Captain D's of Fredericksburg who were working the late shift Sunday night Dec. 26th. My wife had been taken by ambulance to the Emergency Center of Mary Washington about 1PM. Her symptoms were not considered to be life threatening so, due to the number of people with possible Covid being seen first, she was held in triage and was finally released about 9:30PM. All that time she had neither anything to drink or eat. My daughter was transporting her home and suggested that they stop at Captain D's for something to eat and drink. Even though closing time is 10 PM and they arrived approximately 9:45 PM the crew fixed the both of them a fresh cooked meal and never complained about them showing up so late. Thank you guys for your devotion to your job and for making two tired and hungry people very happy. By the way, my wife and I eat at Captain D's whenever we have the chance. Love the food there. read more
