Now Captain Do's know they play too much with kid portion plate I received. While I was here for school, Captain D's was one of my go to places. Things have changed over the years naturally but whenever I come in town, I make it a point to stop through. So of course when I saw that this location was close to hotel, I was excited because the original one I somewhat across town. If I recall some years ago, they had more corn meal fried fish options that came with bread (so good). My meal didn't come with bread. I got the 2 piece catfish option and my son got the fish tenders. As you can see from the picture, the 2 piece catfish option is a cat fish fillet cut in half. My son fish "tenders" was bigger than mine. Yet on their menu it shows two full fish fillets of catfish. The taste was good and the young lady that took my order was nice and patient and is solely the reason for this 3 star review. read more

Haven't eaten Captain D's for over 3 years. Decided to give them a try. Mask were required to enter the establishment and social distancing was implemented. Drive thru was busy, but I went inside to order. No cashier was present upon me entering, but a young male cook acknowledged my presence and stated someone will be with me shortly. The cashier had good customer skills, but was very nonchalant. The food was hot, but a little hard. The fried green tomatoes were not cooked all the way. Overall everything was alright. read more

Husband went in to place order for two 2 piece dinners on a Sunday when we usually got the senior special price. He was denied his order. Cashier said I had to be there as well. I was home because I had knee surgery and could not go in person. The cashier discussed this with the manager who still refused to honor the order. My husband walked out and now refuses to ever go back. Definitely not the customer service needed to keep faithful customers. I later called the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager. She offered no explanation why this happened. Her attitude was very wrong. read more

This place was craptastically bad. The fish is not cod. I don't know what it is but it was strange. The wife (Kimberly) thinks it's Chinese Catfish (Basa) but who knows? It was fishy, dry, weird texture...just a hot mess. Kimberly ordered the "Jalepeno poppers" which were also an abject failure. They are fake cheddar cheese balls with chopped peppers, deep fried. This was one of the worst places I've been to in a while and we will be avoiding Captain D's for the foreseeable future. read more

Do not trust their commercial photos, all lied. We came here after we saw their commercial photos. Lobster Rolls: there are not much lobster in the rolls (not like their commercial photo). I was surprised to find this rolls bread tasted very similar to the "nutritional sandwich" in Taiwan Night Market. To me, that was a plus to compensate these rolls. read more

Great food, clean restaurant, friendly employees. I had to wait for someone to take my order, but then I found out that there were only two people working. I commend them for doing more than their job to make sure customers are served. I hope management appreciates their dedication to the company and the customers and that they are rewarded accordingly. read more

We ordered online and they said it would take 40 minutes to prepare. But when we arrived the food was cold and soggy and had been sitting there for at least 20 minutes. read more

Worst ever. Food was bad, no malt vinegar. When I say bad food, I mean the fish, fries, and Cole slaw. Go elsewhere.

I ordered the grilled white fish and shrimp and it was not good. The food was cold and I only drove 5 mins to my hotel. I asked for my fish blackened and it wasn't blackened barely had taste. The customer service was perfect!!! The green beans and the sides were delicious! I might try them again the fried fish because that might be their specialty. read more

I ordered online and it said it should be ready at 7:57. Got here at 8:11 wasn't ready still here 817. What the heck is going on supposed to be fast food. A place that has a drive-through can't turn out an order 20 minutes after it was promised? read more

Good food, friendly service but the shift manager at night is running a scan in their drive thru times. Nobody in line, they pulled us up to clear the timer while we waited an EXCEEDINGLY long time for our food. 10 minutes after we were pulled up, a 2nd car came in and they pulled them around to an empty parking spot. Highly recommend refusing to pull ahead if they ask you if you want your food. read more

This is my second visit,I was expecting it to be better than my first, NOT!!!! Your front counter people need some classes in hospitality.just rude. I can Sympathize with them a little bit I understand that you have no workers everyone is affected but if you keep this up you're not gonna have any customers. My food was good although it was a little cold I still enjoyed it although I didn't like the fact that you no longer separate your cold food from your hot you put it in all together and when I asked why was my coleslaw not in containers she told me well that cost money and so they had to put it in with my fish meal and you know the coleslaw has juice and it runs all over into the other food I guess my real tru gripe is your workers they are very rude you have people to walk out as one lady did and then that makes it to where is people do not or would not want to come and spend their money there when they're being treated as if what do you want type mentality we don't appreciate that especially after a long hard day at work coming to pick up food for our families read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in town. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, without being fake like some chains I've been to. There are plenty of sauces to make the plethora of entrees (fish tenders, butterfly shrimp, lobster bites- all great) and sides (broccoli, okra, cole slaw, Mac and cheese are my favorite) as delicious as you can imagine. Most meals come with hush puppies, so you don't even have to pay for the best part. The atmosphere is great. Nice music and paintings on the wall to look at as you crunch your ice (cool feature). I've been there twice in the past week, once with my best friends and once with my parents. Each time, my party was fully impressed with how much I talked this place up. I party at Captain D's! read more

The customer service is awful!! Literally the worst I've seen in town... I went through the drive through, waited forever, while there was no one dining in... finally someone responds, then as we say our order he isn't even replying, as if I'm talking to myself. Then somehow even with the coupons we had, the total came up to so much higher than it should have been, and to top that the employee tells us that he can't print us a receipt cause the device is not working?? So you're just charging me for things without ta receipt... how convenient. That was my first and last time purchasing from Captain D's. Waste of gas, waste of time & more importantly waste of money. read more

No lights on the drive thru menu? I told the girl I could barely read anything on the menu. I appreciate her reading off the sides to me. Maybe the lights turn on after a certain time but they definitely weren't on at 7:30 pm. Also, the drive thru, like another guy said, is a complete joke. It's truly laughable. I pulled up at about 7:25 and was asked to wait before ordering, which is fine. Waited 5 minutes and almost just pulled forward to the window to place my order. Honestly, I thought the girl forgot I was there. Right as I put my car in drive, she came back. I placed my order and had 3 cars in front of me. That was about 7:32ish. I'm still sitting in line. I made it to the window at 7:56. I feel bad for the cashier because she's doing the inside orders as well as the drive thru and she's very polite. 5 star review for her politeness. I like to give the benefit of the doubt and hope it's just one of those days where maybe this captain d's is understaffed because of employees calling in or maybe it's just a rush I'm not aware of. I will say, though, when I pulled into the drive thru, there were only two cars actually parked. Maybe on another Thursday around the same time I will try this captain d's again, and realize that today was just one of those days. At 8:05 I got my food. My order was correct. I hope to be able to change this review in a month or so. read more

I ordered 2 kids meals a chicken and fish my daughter chicken was still raw on the inside it wasn't even cooked I called a week ago was told they would call me back and haven't received a call back yet very disappointed read more

I just finished eating at this Captain D's restaurant call and had the best fish meal I've had in weeks. Call fish and fries we're delicious hush puppies core the best I've ever eaten. And you can crank the rating up and not because the lady taking my order made sure I had everything I needed for the meal she carried the tray to my table welcome to meet at the restaurant offered three refills and made me feel extremely well taken care of call most professional and more. Stop and eat here you will not be disappointed five stars plus read more

The freakin drive thru is a joke!!! Why is there even a drive thru. I've been in line for 25 mins without moving. I'm the next car up next and I can guarantee you I'll be here for another 15 mins if I'm lucky read more

Pretty good. Went through the drive through, the prices and wait times weren't bad at all. The food was fresh and the customer service was good. I had been wanting to try this place all the time and I'm happy I finally did. I'll be back to try more. read more

Despite their lack of employees I guarantee the few there will give you a headache. Whether it's yelling through the drive through microphone or when you're just a few feet away. Not to mention the incredibly judgmental looks they give on what you order and a need to repeat it in a questioning manner multiple times. Usually I wouldn't mind that but when you're in a place that smells worse than an old fishing boat and with people louder than my mother in law, it's migraine inducing. One of the restaurants that COVID should have closed. read more

Fish sandwich big as your head. Yeah, you are eating tiny lobster rolls, but the bread is divine and really sets off the salad. The service does it for me. Very kind people that get my sense of humor. Bravo! read more

Friendly staff with great service! The female cashier was such a positive friendly person. I look forward to my next visit!

Marquee this week end said they open Monday February 5th and 10:30 a.m. Must have a new owner? Stay tuned!

Good as a fast seafood place. But the food is a little salty for me.

Customer service helped with the second star but the missing 3 are with the flavors that were robbed from my tastebuds. Never did I imagine me thinking that corn would be the highlight of a meal. The shrimp and white fish would've tasted better alive than the sorry excuse of battered goodness. Sweet tea was impeccable. read more

After speaking to Corporate about my negative experience, I received a call from the Store's General Manager. She was very professional, and stated that my issue would be immediately addressed. She offered to comp any future visit, if I decided to return and try the restaurant. If only judging by my interaction with her, I would change this to a 5 star. But, I will update again once I try the food. It does speak volumes of management to reach out so quickly to a voiced concern. Thank you! read more

Awesome! Food was really good, and fast! We had lobster bisque, it's taste amazing and cost just 2$! A lot of different souses there. I really enjoyed that place! read more

My daughter is in school at FSU, and I found this Capt. D's so convenient off the Interstate. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was cooked perfectly. This will be a frequent stop for us coming into town from Atlanta - where we are not used to such great service! read more

Great food and great service! The new healthy options on the menu are delicious!! Nice to have a Captain D's near the interstate!

You can never go wrong at Captain D's. Love the batter dipped fish and the clam strips.

I did not enjoy my tilapia meal, which I ordered at the drive thru. The fish came on top of rice and included two other sides, but they didn't explain that the meal would include rice by default. For my two sides, I chose rice and green beans. I ended up with way too much rice. The fish tasted poorly. read more

"There's a new Seafood Restaurant in town!" EXCELLENT! Food is excellent, and the selections are better than ever. The dining atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. A new #1 on my list of Tallahassee dining. read more

Even though my family and I really like Captain D's food, we will never eat there again. We will also never suggest for anyone else to unless they enjoy horrible customer service which includes the free entertainment of employees playing on the phone, receiving a luck of the draw meal, and enjoy being called names once they voice their service concerns. read more

I went through the drive thru this evening, spent $18 on two meals. One was supposed to be grilled and the fish was so white and cold, it looked like it had been boiled, certainly not grilled. The shrimp skewer was cold and tough. I ordered the "loaded" baked potato as a side and got absolutely nothing to put on the potato, not even butter and sour cream. The potato itself was so old that it had an orange hue to it, yuck. When I called I got two different people who claimed to be managers but I seriously doubt it by the way the spoke, and if they are... they need some training in customer service. When describing the potato I was told you have to ask for butter and sour cream, where on earth does a loaded potato mean that you have to ask for butter and sour cream. I explained that it was listed on the receipt, was told they have to do that to get it through the system, you still have to ask. This is one place I will never go again and I certain caution anyone who thinks about stopping there. read more
