    Crispy Fish
    Marilyn Y.

    Had a taste for some seafood and there seems to be that Long John's Silver are long extinct. I was curious about their menu and noticed that they had a similar menu to my favorite. My boyfriend and I decided, well honestly I decided. We had the 2-pc fish with garlic & herb shrimps, which came with coleslaw, fries, hushpuppies. We also added two pieces of chicken. We started eating and the fish was very crispy and crunchy, the batter was similar to my favorite, the fries were hot and crispy and the shrimp was on point me adding a little bit of cocktail sauce. Let's talk about the chicken, well seasoned fried it had a little Cajun twist flavoring, if you ask me. It was delicious. I forgot to mentioned that we had an iced sweet tea for our drink. I received good service, pretty much you place your order with the cashier and you seat yourself in the dining area. Now, one of the servers will deliver your food to the table. The time that I went to the restaurant, it was pretty empty, we were the only ones there. The dining area was clean and all the chairs were organized to their table. I really can not complain about the service I received. Eating here brought some nostalgia to my life since Long John's are now an extinct species in South Florida. Captain's are more located towards the cities of Orlando and Jacksonville area. Captain D's, if by chance you are reading this review, please consider placing stores in the Dade and Broward area, your food is very tasty. I highly recommend if in the Jacksonville area.

    We came here for our fish Friday dinner and were pleased to see the food come out so quickly. Food tasted good. But ambiance was off having to hear the staff (and manager) talk out loud about the toilet filled being filled up with paper towels that needed to be cleaned out. Just hearing that across the restaurant made me want to stop eating and kinda ruined the experience.

    Shrimp and fish dinner with fries and hush puppies

    You talking about steal and deals. Captain D has a deal for you fish and shrimp dinner with 2 sides for $5.99. Food was hot and fresh. The server was amazing. There is nothing like a cold ice tea to wash it down. Kudos to keeping themselves relevant and competive in pricing. We can go anywhere we want. I choose Captain Ds. Hands down.

    3 Piece Batter Dipped Fish Meal
    Eboni T.

    This location never disappoints. Stopped by for a late lunch. Ordered 3 piece battered fish, side of fried okra, and coleslaw. Meal came with hush puppies. Fish was hot and fresh. Not greasy like some other locations. Sides were just as good. Cashier working the drive thru was nice and friendly. Got my order correct. By far is the best Caption D's in Jacksonville.

    Ernie and I cane in when the Cashiers we're changing out. We waited about 4-5 minutes or so with two girls up front. Then the new girl with the new till came out and did not want to be there, she was begging the other girl to work a double for her. No words were spoke and she never put her till in the register. She was just standing there. I bit my tongue and we walked out. They never called us to come back in. So be it. Won't be back. No skin off my back.

    Laura was treating me to lunch for my birthday that has since passed. This was our first time here…read more We've heard good things about the place. When we walked in, we saw a huge table of senior citizens, maybe about 20-30! We decided to stay. There was only one Bartender and one Waitress. The place was packed. We sat by the window seats-that was all that was left to sit at. The Waitress was very attentive(even though she was slammed). Today's special was shrimp baskets. Shrimp could be cooked three ways. I chose fried w/onion rings(fresh-not frozen rings) & and a 50/50 tea. My meal was delicious. Laura had blackened shrimp w/broccoli. We both enjoyed our meals and had a great conversation. I had $40.00 cash on me and Laura had a card to treat me, but the internet and card machine had just gone down. So I paid for the meal and tip. Laura Cash App'd me $40.00. Pros:big place with a very friendly atmosphere. Great service and food. Cons:it was out of their control that the machine went down. Recommend:Yes

It's a sit anywhere kind of place but with that it takes them over 10 minutes to bring menus to the table. All 3 times I had to ask for plates and silverware. The food was okay nothing spectacular. The last time, and final time I gave them a shot, the server we had seemed to be in an awful mood and was extremely short with everyone when ordering. She didn't know what beers they had so my friend had to get up and go to the bar to see. It just seems like she was having a bad day and possibly weeded but her attitude left a bad taste in my mouth and she said she had worked there from when it was still dicks wings. It gave the vibe of "I'm tired and I want to go home so hurry up and order". Not very welcoming.

My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.

Even though we had a reservation, it didn't seem to make a difference. We waited about 15 minutes just to find a host or hostess to be seated. During that time, we saw several other groups leave because no one was available to greet or seat them. It wasn't the best first impression and definitely set the tone for the visit. Once we were seated, the food was excellent. You can really tell that everything is made from scratch, and the quality and freshness stood out. The Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts, topped with garlic aioli and Parmesan cheese, were delicious and packed with flavor. I also ordered the Kale Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, which was fresh and well-balanced with house greens, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar vinaigrette. My little ones ordered the Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Fingers with fries, and they both really enjoyed their meals. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight of our visit, but the service and lack of organization upon arrival could use improvement. If they can address the front-of-house experience, it would make for a much better visit.

I ordered the brisket with mac and cheese, baked beans, and toast. My mom had the same, and my dad got the turkey with fries and collard greens. We also shared an order of fried pickles. The fried pickles were actually really good and probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't meet expectations. The brisket was quite dry, and the mac and cheese seemed like it had been sitting for a while and had hardened. The baked beans had a very strong onion flavor that made them difficult to eat, and the toast just tasted like plain bread without any garlic or seasoning. Overall, it was disappointing considering the price of the meal. I only managed a few bites of the sides and one slice of brisket. My parents ended up taking most of it home for their dog since we couldn't finish it.

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming with a cool blues-themed décor and light music in the background. It was dinnertime but surprisingly not busy, which made for an easy, laid-back experience. Parking was simple and convenient. One small suggestion: cushions on the wooden benches would make a big difference. With the wait and the amount of time seated, they became a bit uncomfortable. Overall, great food, great vibe, and solid service. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff mentioned it was from drinks spilled by other guests, which really showed a lack of proper cleaning. We ordered all six appetizers but only received five, as the Guinness pub cheese never came out. The Reuben eggrolls were a 4/5 and the giant pretzel for two was a 5/5, but the other three appetizers were about a 1/5. The specialty drinks were also underwhelming. Angela's drink was mostly ice with very little flavor, especially disappointing for $15. My Irish cream drink needed ice added several times. I'm also unsure why a 13% gratuity was automatically added when there were only four of us with three separate checks. For two appetizers and two drinks, my bill came to $63 with tip. Very overly priced. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, but she mentioned she was also the bartender, waitress and host, so it seemed like they were understaffed.

The decor at this time for the Sippin Santa is the perfect ambiance for some fun & a night out! We had a great time, keep it up Laura- you've got a very special thing going here!!!

    The potato and meat pizza was my least favorite. And not because it didn't taste good but because the combo wasn't for me.
