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.

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!

New customer. Stopped in during happy hour while my car was being serviced at Bonita Valley Auto…read moreCare. My server was super friendly! I tried the recommended Joe's Shrimp Po'boy at 20% off and a $5 pint of Sculpin , upgrading fries to onion rings. Reading on Yelp, I asked to try the house sauce people raved about. It was too much food! Enough onion rings for 2-3 people. The shrimp were delicious but I felt the spicy remoulade sauce overwhelmed other flavors. It's pretty spicy! But it's Cajun so that's okay! The house sauce, with garlic, lemon, lobster broth and other flavors was amazing. Onion rings were thin sliced, crispy panko coated, and very good. I probably wouldn't order the same thing again, but the garlic noodles are tempting, and I want to return for one of their Sunday brunches with seafood boil and DJ music. Glad I found it!

I enjoyed my Mother's Day dinner at Chiefs Da Crab Shack in Bonita, CA…read more They had a Mother's Day Special 1lb snow crab & 1lb of shrimp for $29.99. The special came with a complimentary Mimosa or Wine. The service was a bit slow today because it was busy with large parties and totally understandable but the food was delicious. Check out their instagram for events and specials. I we enjoyed watching the SD Padres game Vs. STL Cardinals so glad we won!! Happy Mother's Day! Check this place out! Happy Yelping :)

Food was simply amazing. Fish and chips is what I bought. Take out 4 pieces of fish and fries for…read more$50. Fish was nice and fresh. Batter was light but very crunchy. Service was solid. Only 3 working. I think its family. Very busy store. 30 minute wait but well worth it. Ambiance, the store was busy but it was very family friendly. I think everyone knew they were going to get great food. Parking was a little busy. But I did go on a Saturday around noon. Definitely going back to try everything else.

Don't fall for the hype and influencer posts!…read more We waited for ages to try this place, then when we finally did we left totally disappointed. Not only are they ridiculously overpriced ($14 for 10 onion rings, $26 for 2 pieces of fish w/fries?! Wtf), but they use cheap haddock, NOT cod -- which is false advertising since they market themselves as "serving only the highest quality foods" and stating "We serve genuine London Style Fish & Chips". Haddock (and pollock) is not "high quality" and is never used in any real Fish & Chips joint. I will admit that their batter is amazing! The shrimp and onion rings were perfection (best onion rings I have ever had)! However, at that price point I can't see why they can't use better fish. The first bite of fish was okay, perfect crunch and tasty batter, but after the second bite it just didn't taste like it should -- the filet was noticeably thinner than real, traditional fish & chips fish--it should flake thickly and be firm. In addition to the high price for what you get, their ambiance isn't quite what you'd expect for what they charge you. It's a mom and pop hole-in-the-wall in Lemon Grove, not a trendy hipster joint in North Park. With all that said, you can be the judge...but don't get sucked into all of the viral influencer posts that have been popping up lately...just sayin'.
