Food was great and service was great. The portions were large and everything was well cooked. There was an upcharge of 2.00 for jumbo shrimp and oysters and that was a bit much, My only reservations were that it was a bit too costly for me. Otherwise five stars. read more

Wanted to get the pick 3 platter, but it's a $9 extra charge to get the three I wanted. So I got the shrimp burger listed under hamburgers. Took a long time for our food to come out despite it being nearly dead in the place. Was supposed to have coleslaw and whatnot on it. What comes out is popcorn shrimp on a stale bun with overcooked fried. Not at all what was described on the menu. When I questioned it, the server argued with me the. Said he would get the manager. No manager ever came and the server simply said he just took it off our bill. Not what I wanted as I wanted what was ordered as described on the menu. Tea was good though. read more

Service is always so lovely they are very kind and attentive! It's clean and the food is really good. My 89 year old Nanny just loves it! We lived in the area for almost 2 years and had never been until she mentioned it. Now we've been back 2 or 3 times! The prices are great and you get a lot of food and it's good! read more

While captain Tom's has been around forever, this is my first time visiting. They have daily specials for $12. I got the Alaskan white fish with fries Cole slaw and hush puppies. What a deal! The fries came out cold but the promptly brought fresh ones. The fish was well seasoned and soft. The staff is family friendly. I would 100% recommend. read more

So, the phone definitely didn't eat first this time. We enjoyed two Admirals feasts which included flounder, shrimp, scallops oysters and deviled crab (which I never eat) with no substitutions. Also came with hush puppies slaw and potato of your choice. I skipped breakfast to enjoy this late lunch early dinner and still had enough for another meal. We got most of it cooked salt and pepper style and it was really good. Glad to finally have a chance to visit here after a long while. read more

Captain Tom's - Best Shrimp and Grits that I have had locally. - Seafood Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

I took my husband here tonight for his first visit ever! We normally frequent a seafood location in High Point, however, I was getting more disappointed with each visit and needed a change. I love the options here! Seafood comes in different ways, paired with different proteins, and a nice selection of sides. The decor is rustic, but so is the building and the business and it's very fitting! The service tonight was great, as usual! I tried the shrimp and grits this visit and I was blown away! Such a delicious combination of flavors! My husband got the small popcorn shrimp with fries. He was impressed with the amount of food! His only complaint was that they did not have crinkle fries, but he enjoys his meal nonetheless! A nice change to our usual Sunday seafood dinner! read more

Captain Tom's - Shrimp N' Grits - Seafood Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

Our church went there after service - a group of 20 or so. We were seated in the room where large groups are served (we were the first group there around 11:30 am). One waitress served us (she did the best she could). We ordered and three more groups of about 10+ people came in at different times. All three of those groups ordered, eat and left before our food was brought to us. A lot of the orders were incorrect. Only one of our members eat their food, while the rest of us ended up getting To-go boxes and never eating our food at the table. Very disappointing. I spoke with the mgr who apologized and said they were short staff. No problem, however those other three groups should not have received their food before we did or at least we should have been receiving some of our meals before all their meals were brought to the table. I asked the mgr could they comp us something for the inconvenience and they fact that we did not eat any of our meal at the table. She spoke with her general manager and we were told no after they looked at the video...huh. We were there for about two hrs. As a church, we go there after to fellowship and enjoy a meal together and was just there less than a couple months ago. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to Captain Toms in Kernersville again. read more

Service is always solid, for ambiance - think grandma food in the 70s. But what I was served last week, looked like snots in a bowl. I have never been so turned off by how something was served. read more

I always enjoy a fried broiled or boiled place! I also enjoyed coming here early before it gets crazy busy. The food was ok. Not bad but not amazing. The service was really good and the prices are a little bit higher than I expected. read more

It had been awhile since I'd visited this very good Southern style seafood restaurant, an institution in Kernersville since 1972. We both had a lunch special - Popcorn Shrimp and Flounder for $9.99, which comes with slaw, hush puppies, was and 1 side. This is a lot of food, and remains a nice value meal, especially in the current market place. And this is true even though the size of the special has shrunk - there was a single piece of fish where there used to be 3! The menu here is varied, with soups, salads, and country cooking choices - but this is first and foremost, a fried seafood stronghold - and they do it well. Ambiance - 4.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Value - 4 read more

Captain Tom's - Lunch special of Popcorn Shrimp and Flounder with a Baked Potato and their excellent slaw - Seafood Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

First visit. Amazing staff. No complaints on food or delivery. Prices were very reasonable associated with portions. Lacking a star was ambiance. I know they went thru a lot of renovation but warm inviting ambiance just not there. read more

This was the worse catfish I've had in many years. If I would have known that it wasn't fresh but frozen I would have not wasted my money here. My ranch dressing was spilled all over in the inside of the bag, so no dressing for my salad. I have no idea what kind of frozen hush puppies they gave me, but they taste like paper. It's just HORRIBLE!!!!! I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants real fresh seafood. read more

Solid local seafood spot! Food is always very good. Their sweet tea is some of the best around.

Had the Admiral's platter,lots of fried seafood every was very good except the deviled crab ( not much taste). My waitress Marissa was very nice and kept my tea filled and enjoyed chatting with her. read more

Food was okay... nothing spectacular. Service was fine. Ambiance was nice. Will go back.

I'm a country girl and a sucker for catfish. Let's just say Captain Tom's does some great fried catfish and they don't skimp on portions. I usually order a small fried catfish plate. It has 2 large pieces of catfish and then you get to choose 2 sides and it's served with hush puppies. They are always busy but I've never had to wait long to be seated. I've never had a bad server. Last week I ordered my usual with a baked potato and upon unwrapping it I found the potato was bad. They did nothing to the potato it was just a bad one. I asked my server for a replacement and she was more than happy to fix the issue and I had a new potato within mins. It can get a little noisy but that's because everyone is conversing and enjoying their food. All in all a great place to grab a bite. read more

Sometimes you just want to eat at a fish camp... after all it's a highlight here in the south. Seafood piled high, a tall glass of sweet tea, condiments on the table ready to be abused, way too much to eat and some sea farin' decor. Yeehaw welcome to the Carolinas! read more

We stopped in to grab a late dinner. We were seated quickly. I would love to say more but the menu is the only thing I had. We sat for 15-20 minutes waiting for a waitress. Others around us were lead to their seats to and followed by a waitress. So I can only show the picture of the menu I received. We left after the crazy wait....... read more

Went into eat this evening & give them another chance. They blew it...when being sat by the rude hostess, we saw there was an empty booth beside the table we were sat at & asked to be sat instead at the booth...she said, "it was not available". Then immediately sat a family in the booth. Needless to say, we left immediately. We will NEVER be back there. read more

Been eating her for about 7 years great food!! Friendly staff, just last week and week before getting to many fish scales in my mouth. Maybe there's a new cook and not aware of how to scale the fish mouth full of scales have anyone else had this problem ? Other than that ever is great . Please I like to return! Please clean the fish well thank you I can't be the only one who are affected by this. read more

Amazing!! Fish perfectly fried! Every bite, the sauce was delicious. My new favorite!!

Captain Tom's - Admirals 3 Item Combination Platter Choose 3 - Seafood Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

When it comes to fried or broiled seafood, Captain Tom's is as good as it gets in this area. Don't believe me? Ask the crowds who appear on Friday and Saturday nights, or the customers lined up in their drive thru. I won't claim that this is the freshest seafood you'll ever find, nor is it the most inventive menu. Remember: you're in the Carolina Piedmont. It's not like the ocean is just outside the window. But what you'll find here is traditional Southern seafood plates and platters. The food is plentiful, predictable, reliable, and worth what you pay for it. Furthermore, I've always found the service to be quick, the dishes provided as I ordered them, and the restaurant clean. read more

I visited with a group of 20. The ambiance is nice, typical for seafood restaurants. The service was fair, considering the group size. My fish tacos were not good, although the base white fish and popcorn shrimp were good. My wife's flounder had an off taste. Many in our group really enjoyed their meals. Guess we chose wrong items. read more

Hands down better than red lobster. The oysters, scallops, shrimp and devilled crab are amazing. Our server Tristan was attentive and professional. Very pleasant experience. It was our 1st time and we will definitely be back. read more

Worst flounder I've ever had. Way overcooked. Mostly breading. It was difficult to even get my fork into it because it was so hard. Very disappointing. read more

Good food..great service..great ambiance. Looked like a traditional fish camp vibe. Shrimp and Whitefish platter was cooked to perfection.

Great fish I had flounder and fries. Everything was great. Great lunch spot. My friends were from out of town so it was the perfect lunch spot. read more

Saylor made this return visit a success! She was friendly & attentive without being overbearing, anticipated our needs before we even realized we actually needed anything. Excellent server, which makes all the difference for this gal & former waitress :) Fish and chips were so tasty. Very reasonable weekday lunch specials. read more

I'd only been to Captain Tom's once before, a few years ago and remembered liking it. I was in the area so stopped for lunch. The interior is more than a little dated and although there are many windows in the front of the dining room, all the blinds were tightly closed so it was a bit dark. Atmosphere aside, the service and food were good. My server seemed to be in a bad mood so I killer her with kindness and chat and it worked, she perked right up! She brought my food and my check, that's it. Never checked on me but I didn't need anything during my meal so not a big deal. I ordered the small scallop and jumbo shrimp platter that comes with puppies. I chose fried okra and slaw as my sides. The seafood was cooked well and tasted fresh. The sides were ok, nothing stood out but tasted pretty good. I really liked the tartar and cocktail sauces on the table. It was fairly busy for lunch on a Wednesday so it appears to be a popular lunch option in the area. I would go back if I'm in the area and in the mood for fried seafood. read more

Always good food here. Always great service as well. Ordered the 6 piece chicken strip dinner. It was way more food than I could eat. So most it will be my lunch tomorrow. The wife ordered a 3 part seafood meal. She absolutely loved it all. We highly recommend coming here. You will not regret it. read more

Good seafood and nice portion sizes. Not always seasoned as much as I would like but it is still pretty good. The staff are also very friendly and cordial. read more

This was our first time eating at this restaurant and I highly recommend it. The food and service is GREAT!

I love fried flounder and it's really good here. Not happy about the tartar sauce being a table condiment. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands after getting some because I have no idea who touched the bottle last and it felt greasy. Our server was incredibly slow. I waited 10 minutes for my water. After the food was served by a cook, the server came back a few minutes later to check on us; I asked for extra napkins and waited 5 minutes before going to the bathroom and getting paper towels on my own. It never fails, the napkins were on the table once I got back. If I do order from this place again, it will be for take out. read more

I'm not a big fan of seafood but this place has one of the most delicious fish sandwiches you can get in Guildford county

Worst seafood dinner my wife and I ever had. She had fried flounder that was hard as a rock. It also had bones in it. She couldn't even eat it. I had broiled stuffed flounder. The flounder was totally dried out. The crabmeat stuffing was just a lump of breading on top of the flounder. It was tasteless. The clam chowder was OK. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We will not be going back! read more
