Captain D's is located off Great southwest PKWY on the corner of Pioneer serving up freshly fried fish, chicken, and sides for the whole family to enjoy. I came through on a weekday right after they opened and ordered the 4-piece fish meal that came with 2 hush puppies, coleslaw and fries. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the friendly staff. Inside was clean and well-lit with an ocean theme for the ambiance. They also have a excellent condiment bar with ketchup, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce pumps along with malted vinegar and hot sauce. My food was ready in no time and was looking exquisite and I couldn't wait to dive in. The fish was battered and deep fried golden brown to perfection while the fries were crispy and crunchy. The hush puppies were plump and circular and moist inside. The coleslaw was prepared fresh with finely chopped cabbage and carrots in a vinegar mayonnaise base that was nicely chilled. I enjoyed my quick lunch very much and kept on thinking about it throughout the day on just how good it was. I loved the condiment bar that is offered with a variety of sauces to choose from. I can't wait to come back and try something new like maybe the popcorn shrimp, chicken, or even the lobster rolls they have. read more

Food value and quality are missing and have been reported to the authorities. We hadn't visited in a while, and after this experience, we won't be back until the chickens involved issue a public apology. I tried to be brave. I really did. I took one for the team and ordered the meal. What arrived looked less like lunch and more like a cry for help. Look at the piece of chicken on the left. I'm not convinced it was chicken. It looked like someone breaded a paper towel, deep-fried it, and said, "Yep, send it." I've attached a picture of the advertisement and a picture of what actually showed up. The advertised meal and the real meal are so different they should be on separate planets. One belongs in a commercial. The other belongs in a police lineup. For over $10, I expected food. Instead, I received a life lesson. The menu photo promised a delicious, crispy meal. Reality delivered something that looked like it had survived a natural disaster, lost a custody battle, and then got reheated under a parking lot heat lamp. Even the fries looked confused about why they were there. I kept taking bites hoping it would improve. It didn't. At one point I think the napkin tasted more authentic than the chicken. The only item that exceeded expectations was the trash can. It accepted the entire meal without hesitation. Save your money. Buy a gallon of gas. Buy a lottery ticket. Buy literally anything else. At least those purchases won't leave you staring at a fried paper towel wondering where your ten bucks went. 10/10 for the menu photographer. 0/10 for whatever showed up on my plate. read more

Food was out fast. Hot and fresh. I had the seafood deluxe with a free drink. It came with 2 fish , 5 shrimp and 2 fried crabs. The crabs actually had some meat in them not just breading. The coleslaw was good too. But the best part was the service. She was kind and courteous. The lady never stopped working. If she wasn't taking orders and serving food she was cleaning. Excellent service. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend. read more

For what it is (delicious, heart-stopping fish fast food) Captain Ds is awesome. From the lemon pepper white fish, to the fried shrimp, to the sweet breadstick, and coconut cake, everything is five star delicious. They have standard fish and chips, as well as blackened wild salmon. Prices are on par with Long John Silver's, but better menu offerings. I prefer it to the Mongolian Hot Pot nearby and all the Mexican food. I cannot truthfully say that about any other fish joint! read more

Came on a Saturday at 9:30 pm they were closed horrible service they don't close till 11pm someone needs to be fired

Food NOT made to order. Cold and wasteful. I come to Captain D ally and it's never been this bad. Management should figure this out. It was nasty. read more

If you haven't tried them lately, you should definitely stop in. Hot fresh food, best tartar sauce anywhere. Can't leave without their hushpuppies! read more

Wow. I am surprised at how much I like this place. It is not the best seafood but it is so much better than LJS. I like the fish and the fact that they have baked potatoes. The shrimp is just so so but otherwise most everything is pretty good at this fast food seafood chain. read more

I love Captain D's fish it's very and I go mostly on Friday's I would recommend this place all day long Wonderful

Chicken not seasoned. Cole slaw tasted like fish. Soggy not crispy, fish. Mediocre fries. It was our first time and our last

Came here for the first time. Cashier was patient with us as we made our picks for lunch. Ordered the 10 Piece family meal which was plenty for a family of 5. We didn't have to wait too long for our food. But seems that order was not properly checked coz I did not receive my salad. Good food overall and not as greasy as some other places. Would come back but will check to make sure we get all of our order. Place was clean and well stocked with condiments. Employee kept tables cleaned after each customer and was helpful when asked for extra condiments to go. read more

Food was delicious and hot! We had 2 orders of the 3 piece fish dinners with fries, cole slaw, Mac and cheese and corn. We also ordered some fish sticks and the funnel cake sticks. It was my first time trying the funnel cake sticks. They were so good. I was mad I had to share! The inside was clean and the cashier was patient with me. It took me a while to decide on what to order. She even offered some suggestions which helped out a lot. I wish I could remember her name. Everything tasted great. This place was not close to my house but it was worth the drive! read more

Pretty good fish for a fast food restaurant here in Texas. I would even have to say the value is a lot better than what you would get at McDonald's or Burger King or any other fast food restaurants with fish I wouldn't even consider to add Long John silvers in this category fish was freshly cooked had coleslaw and baked potato, not a fan of fries. Coleslaw could of been a little colder, but probably the best fast food fish place I've been to in Texas. read more

Captain D's has been a long-time staple of my family's unhealthy gorging. It is, by no means, healthy in the slightest. What you will unearth, however, are great crispy tasting seafood. I also spring for the Fish and Shrimp dinner or the 3pc. Fish Dinner with Fries, Mac 'n Cheese, and add me 6 Butterfly Shrimps! The fish is crispy on the outside, with tiny delectable crisped crumbs, followed by flaky, flavorful white fish. The shrimp is crispy on outside, yummy and 'shrimpy' on the inside. It is the heart that counts, afterall. Finally, the Mac is savory, cheesy, and exactly what satisfies one that would visit a a deli. Make sure to get lots of tatar and a sweet tea! read more

Captain D's - the outside of a restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

The only fast food fish I'll eat! I love the fried fish, fried okra, hush puppies, and throw a stuffed bake potato on the plate and I'm a happy camper. I go to both the ones in Grand Prairie and Fort Worth. Wish one was closer! YUM! read more

Now I have not been to a Captain D's in years. It's not that I don't Love Captain D's fish and chips, it's just, I am originally from Denver, and the last one I knew about shut down due to lack of business and the place was pretty run down. So when I was coming home from work and caught Capt, D's out of the corner of my eye, I literally flipped a bitch in the front of the restaurant because I passed up the driveway. I ordered the family meal for my family I'm visiting. I haven't seen my guys in a LOONNGG time. So before I ordered I called and made sure everyone liked the Capt as much as I did. The food was alright . The fries seemed like they're could have been fresher but I'm okay with drowning them in ketchup. I was really disappointed that the "Family MEAL" did not come with any (none, zero, nada) tarter sauce. So that's 10 pieces of breaded fish for more that one person, and they cannot take it upon themselves to assume 1-2 people in the family might require tarter sauce? Just because the driver was not aware she had to ask for sauce, maybe just throw one or two in there. Just assume that tarter sauce is the staple for breaded fish. Like Sonny and Cher, fried chicken and waffles, ski's and snow, crab and crab crackers.. IDK? What I do know is I am $25 disappointed, and I realize now, why the Captain might be going out of business. Customer service was good, would've been better with a helping of "would you like tarter sauce with that"? read more

I understood that coronavirus is ravishing the nation but at least do what you are supposed to do. Read the order!!!! I got fries and asked for coleslaw. I asked for cheese on my fish sandwich and didn't get it. read more

The place is well-maintained inside and outside. Except for some crumbs and pieces of papers on the floor, the restaurant is pretty clean. We ordered some fish, popcorn shrimp, butterflies shrimp, coleslaw and fries. Everything was hot but the fries were soggy. The sweet tea was very weak. I like it that they're fried items are very crispy and not greasy. I would invite everyone to give Captain D's a try. read more

We were impressed with the variety of NON-fried entrees available at Captain D's. The Whitefish was firm and high quality--very tasty! We could also have had Tilapia or Catfish. Of course there is no getting around ordering a couple of their in-house-made fried Hush Puppies. Our family felt welcome at this location, with a friendly greeting from a dining room staffer upon entering, and another check-in from a manager while we were eating. We were eating within 12-15 minutes of arrival with 9 people! Easy to access all the various condiments for dipping--and the right-sized containers for them too. The fries were NOT salty--good! The creamy cold slaw is as good as anywhere, and nice to have fresh broccoli as a heaping side. Checking out the restrooms at this store--they could be updated, but were clean! Wish we had Capt D's back in WI... read more

Fish n Chips... really its what I expected. I'd never heard of these guys, but its just a typical chain, fast-food seafood joint. The fish was alright- cod I'm assuming. The breading wasn't too bad- not greasy- which is nice. In the combo I think they give you like 12 fries... and not the large kind either, we're talking regular shoe-string fries. Coleslaw was blah. The only thing I saw as a highlight was I liked the Malt Vinegar- it was very mild. I could douse my food with it and not be overpowered with the vinegar fumes and taste. You ought to try it sometime- its how the Brits do it. Speaking of Brits, I sure wish there was a traditional, cheap fish n chips joint around. The kind one would find in England or, where I saw them, in Australia. I always seem to find just chain restuarants like this place: manufactured tasting and over-priced. read more

This has to be the slowest drive thru I've ever been to. It took 15 minutes for me to get my food. I passed 3 levels on Candy Crush (I have a lot of saved lives) between the time I ordered to when I got my food. When I got my food, the guy that handed me the box looked like he just finished fixing his car. His hands were covered in some black dirt (grease?) and it made me question whether or not I should eat the food he just handed me. There was no mention of why it took so long either. I wasn't expecting the fried cod to be anything spectacular coming from a drive thru. And my expectations were spot on. Taste was bland, and the fries were not seasoned. This was my first and last time I go to Captain D. Ironically, they are definitely not a well "oiled" machine. read more

Ordered it to be delivered, when it got here a whole order was missing! Tried a dozen times to call them and they would either pick up/hang up or it would go to a voice mailbox that wasn't set up! Don't know if the food was any good, only one of us got to eat... I was hungry and furious; called the credit card company to dispute the charges read more

Food is always fast and fresh through the drivethru. Friendly staff always ask what condiments you want. Good quality food. read more

Had dinner with my family the day before I left to NY. This is by far the best food I had way better then LJS. Had me the Wild Alaskan salmon salad and it was really good! I would go back again on my next visit. read more

This location did not disappoint. The food was fresh, hot, good. And the customer service was A+. When I think of going out to get fish, this is the place that comes to mind. They have a loyal customer in me. read more

Captain D's 2515 Treat SW Pkwy in Grand Prairie has the best Gumbo I have eaten in a long time. I have gone back three or 4 times in the last 10 days. I order the large bowl for $6. The fried catfish is excellent. The fried okra and hush puppies are really good also. I highly recommend Captain D's for fish food. read more

This place has hot fresh food for lunch because the high volume but stay far far away in the evening. This fish seems like it was made at lunch and kept under a heat lamp. Both ends of all the fish was dried to a point even the fish inside was French fry like while the center was horribly dry. I won't stop going here but never in the evening again. read more

Surprisingly, this place is delish. I loved long Johns silver but it got too salty for me. This place is way better. I like how they have bake fish option and fried catfish. The staff is super friendly and I cannot wait to come back. read more

The workers are a bunch of young kids who aren't professional in the slightest bit. It's creepy quiet in here.. like no music whatsoever or anything so it's distracting and very odd to eat inside. My husband ordered catfish and it tastes DIRTY. Where did they find that poor catfish? I can't describe it... but it was awful. I paid a little extra to add on some butterfly shrimp to my meal and they were 6 pieces that were the size of like ...popcorn shrimp. The cheesecake I thought would be good until they handed me a prepackaged slice of cheesecake from some company I've never heard of. Maybe this place is good to people who don't know what fried seafood should be like? Not sure. We will not be back. read more

Cashier does not exemplify customer service. She was not listening and made me repeat my order. Then a 3rd time asked me what I wanted at the window. Then she did not give the condiments that I asked for twice. Then when I called and asked for a manager they gave me the run around. read more

Excellent service! I'm not much for fried fish, but being on a budget my family ordered the special, and it was some of the best fried fish I've ever had. Again, the service was terrific and it was great Friday fare on a budget! Will go again! read more

We went through the drive through today. Our order total came to $33.06. I used a debit card to pay. The clerk said the card was declined and showed me a receipt that stated it was declined. I asked her to try again, as the card definitely had money on it. The second time the card went through. We waited a short time and received our food, went home and ate. The orders were correct and the food tasty enough. However, later in the evening, upon checking the bank account I found I was charged twice for the same amount. Upon contacting Captain D's they were absolutely no help in refunding the overcharge. The local store didn't help. Corporate didn't help. Who DID help was the bank, who got the second charge refunded. Thank goodness they helped. We won't be eating again at Captain D's rip off joint and we will tell everyone about their deceptive trade practices. read more

This is as good as it get's in this area for fish n chips as far as I know... It's a chain franchise but it's not too bad.. They give you good size portions for the price but it's fried fast food so don't expect too much.. I'm normally not a huge coleslaw fan, but I like there's cuz it's not too sweet! read more

This is the best and cleanest Captain D's I have been to in a long time. My wife and I would definitely eat here again.

Bravo! I went inside and the employees were super nice. I was surprised by the food. The oil must have been clean because there was no old grease smell. The fish was light and crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. The hush puppies are so light and airy I felt like I was on a beach instead of the Prairie. This location should be commended by the company for superior service and quality of food. read more

This place has been around a long time and I have seen workers come and go over the years. The last time I will ever go I saw a worker refill a tea glass with wrong tea (sweet) when customer asked for unsweet. When the customer pointed out the issue the manager told the girl to just pour it back in the top of the canister. This was a used glass! I will not be returning to a place I have visited for 20 years. read more
