    1/2 Catfish Nuggets Dinner
    Lucy D.

    First time ordering from Captain Sam's but definitely won't be our last!! We ordered the following: catfish & onion rings with mac salad and cod & fried zucchini with mac salad. Everything was seasoned & cooked to perfection! 10/10 Highly recommend Captain Sam's Fish & Chicken!

    I've been to Captain Fish a few times, but this was my first time at this location the one off Home Ave. They offer great lunch specials at a very reasonable price. We ordered the large shrimp basket and added two catfish fillets on the side. Everything was prepared fresh, seasoned extremely well, and fried in clean oil, which made a big difference in the flavor. The service was prompt and efficient, and the overall experience was great. Definitely a must-try spot!

    This was my first time here trying captain Sam's fish & chicken. Love how it's drive through, food was very seasoned & delicious! Will be back!

    6 catfish, 6 chicken wings with a large box of fries
    Ibi I.

    I ordered the combo with 6 pieces of catfish and 6 chicken wings, plus a big box of fries for $24.99, and honestly, it was a steal! The portion size easily feeds 3-4 people, and everything was hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The catfish was tender inside with that golden, crunchy coating, and the wings were juicy with just the right amount of crisp. The fries were fresh and not greasy, which is rare these days. You can tell they take pride in their food and everything tasted like it was made with care. Customer service was also top notch! Friendly, fast, and welcoming from start to finish. The place feels local and genuine, the kind of spot that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend Captain Sam's if you're craving great fried fish or chicken at a very reasonable price. You definitely get your money's worth here!

    chicken in San Diego, look no further than Captain Sam's Fish and Chicken on Troy Ave! This place is an absolute gem, and I can't recommend it enough. The variety of flavors they offer is incredible--whether you're craving something classic or something with a little extra kick, they've got you covered. The fish is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fried to golden perfection. Every bite is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. And the chicken? Oh my goodness, it's some of the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I've ever had. What really sets Captain Sam's apart is the quality and care they put into every dish. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and it's clear they use top-notch ingredients. The portions are generous, and the prices are totally reasonable for the quality you're getting. The staff is super friendly and always makes you feel welcome, which just adds to the overall great experience. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, Captain Sam's never disappoints. If you haven't tried this place yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it! Captain Sam's Fish and Chicken is a must-visit spot in San Diego.

However, if we dig a bit deeper and evaluate the po boy on NOLA standards; it's missing that NOLA flair. It is very buttery, which is pretty good; but if you're craving a NOLA corner store kind of po boy, this might not satisfy your cravings. It's a different style, which is fine, but good to know.

    When our nephew told me he was celebrating his graduation party at Chief's Da Crab Shack, I thought…read morewe were eating seafood in a plastic bag with our choice of spices. Chief's is one of those type of restaurants, but what I didn't know about Chief's is that it is a sister restaurant to JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Tiki Bar. The food that was served came from JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Crab Shack, and both served delish grub. Besides the tasty food, I really enjoyed the Hawaiian vibe inside, the tunes emanating from the House DJ made me want to dance, and I appreciated the hustle from the hard working staff. If you're looking for a restaurant for a party or a graduation celebration, check out Chief's Da Crab Shack. Chief's Da Crab Shack is located in South San Diego, specifically Bonita, and it can be reached utilizing the 805 freeway and driving east. The restaurant can be found within an outdoor strip mall that contains the following businesses: Chief's sister businesses, JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Tiki Bar; Franco's Flapjack; Wells Fargo; Colima's Mexican Food; and Fresheria. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. As you enter Chief's, you immediately notice the Hawaiian decor and fisherman imagery with dryed grass skirt material hanging over their seating booths, netting holding crustaceans and seashells, thick ropes, fish as light fixtures, and ocean birds. This is a spacious restaurant with indoor booth seating, tables and chairs, distressed wooden tables for group seating, and outdoor seating. There were televisions around the restaurant showing World Cup soccer. I appreciated the diligence of Chief's staff who hustled while handling my nephew's graduation party and regular customers visiting. Before making my first visit to Chief's Da Crab Shack, I thought we'd be grubbing on seafood that are boiled and placed in a plastic bag with your choice of seasoning. That is what Chief's primary business is, but since it's affiliated with JJ's Island Grindz, my nephew's graduation party had a buffet line that featured Hawaiian and Asian food, which came from both Chief's and JJ's. The following dishes from Chief's were waiting for our tummies: mini pork lumpia shanghai, buffalo lemon pepper wings, garlic noodles, and white rice. The following dishes from JJ's were calling our name: spam musubi, salt and pepper chicken wings, teriyaki chicken, kalbi beef ribs, and red rice. The spam musubi is spam wrapped with seasoned sushi rice and nori seaweed. The spam musubi was a tasty bite in a small package. The mini pork lumpias were packed with ingredients and flavorful. The salt and pepper chicken and the buffalo lemon pepper wings were crispy and wok fried with green onion, fresh minced garlic, crush red pepper, and lemon. I devoured those chicken wings, which ate well with the two types of rice. The garlic noodles were yummy and had an abundant amount of garlic flavor. The red rice complemented all of the protein I ate. The kalbi beef ribs were okay and I wished they were more tender. My nephew and in-laws made appetizing choices for the graduation party and I happily consumed two plates of the food. 4.5 stars because the kalbi beef ribs weren't as good as the other food items. When we were told that our nephew was celebrating his gradution at Chief's Da Crab Shack, I was looking forward to experiencing seafood seasoned in a plastic bag. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Chief's is affiliated with JJ's Island Grindz and was able to grub on delicious Hawaiian and Asian entrees from JJ's and Chief's. Next time, I'd like to visit both Chief's and JJ's and try entrees that they're known for.

Lol I liked the sauces they lather on it. My favorite though, was the calamari. It had a nice crisp and they give you a good portion. If im at a seafood place ill always order calamari. Its my go to and how I judge a seafood restaurant. The service was friendly and for a big party my server took care of us well.

    Pat Chef John on his back!! YUM YUM YUMMY!!!…read more We live in Murrieta and decided to travel to Lemon Grove to see if all the ratings for Chef John's Fish and Chips is as good as they say!! We arrived 15 minutes before they opened to assure we will be one of the first customers. We must say if we could give a 10 star rating we would! We ordered the 6 piece fish & chips w/double FF, side order of shrimp and a side order of hush puppies! The fish & shrimp was LIGHTLY BATTERED and very Tasty along with the BEST tartar sauce we ever tasted! The size of the fish fillets is very long! We couldn't eat all of it so we're having leftovers Hush puppies were okay! The French Fries were very crispy, light & tasty! They opened right at 11:00a, we were the first to place our order, quoted a 30 minute wait and received it right at 30 minutes! The best part is it's so fresh and tasty because they prepare and cook as you order. The price was a bit high but it's well worth it because of the quality, environment, cleanliness, customer service with a smile and the Greatest Battered Fish & Chips is all worth it! We will visit again and we will tell our family & friends to support this location! See you soon Chef John & staff!! Note: we had left overs being they give you so much food and it taste just as fresh after warming up in air fryer

This little mom-and-pop shop is an absolute must-try whenever you're craving fish and chips. The tartar sauce was one of my favorite! Their cocktail sauce was also delicious and paired perfectly with shrimps. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We placed a phone order and unfortunately got there after they had already closed because of traffic. Even though we arrived late, the employee who helped me was so kind and nice. I really appreciated the excellent customer service and how understanding they were. One thing to keep in mind is that the food does take a little longer to prepare, but that's because everything is made fresh to order--and you can definitely taste the difference! Fresh, crispy, generous portions, delicious sauces, and genuinely friendly service. What more could you ask for? We absolutely loved our experience and will definitely be back soon!

Few times I even heard some comments, like under her breath or speaking to someone about me. I know this because my friend passed by her and heard her after she sat some food down in front of us . But of course when she sits me at my table or brings my food, suddenly is all smiles! What is her problem? Valeria I think is her name, maybe Valentina iam not sure. But she really needs to be retrained or somebody needs to look more closely how she acts around customers and how she speaks about them. I always get the same items from the menu, zero modifications. My server does not seem to mind at all, so why this random lady is so upset about it? I like this place and come here often, but honestly, the way she acts makes me very uncomfortable every time I am there. I don't understand why she has this attitude with me when I never have any problems with my server or my order, heck, i've never even spoken to her other than thanking her for bringing my food!
