Captain D's

I visited this location for a 2pm lunch on a Wednesday. The place is clean and well-decorated. I was greeted promptly by the cashier, and ordered a 2-piece fish, fries, hushpuppies and drink combo for $8.99. The food was served quickly about 3-5 min, and was very hot and fresh. This place gave me that satisfaction that I used to feel as a kid eating out, which I see rarely these days. Compared to local fast food chain restaurants, this one is remarkable in quality, environment, and service.

This place has gotten quite a bit pricier lately, like everyplace else. Their fish filets seem to have turned into deep fried, extra large fish sticks. So I have been disappointed several times with the quantity of their offerings. But never with the quality.
But I wanted to give a shout-out about two of their star attractions: their LOBSTER ROLLS, and their FRIED OYSTERS. Their Lobster rolls have the lobster (or langostino) mixed into a sort of cold seafood salad, and dolloped onto a warm, split semi-crunchy breadstick that's just been pulled from the oven. Then it's all wrapped in wax paper and served up immediately. The pairing of the warm breadstick and the cool lobster salad is nothing short of delectable. When Captain D's first test-marketed them, these beauties were sold two per order, and I came back once a day to revel in their goodness. Then they went away, and I mourned their loss. But now they're back, and have been offered for several months! It's a miracle! And they cost around $5.99 each. Not dirt cheap, but much better than traveling to New England to get them.
Another All Star at Captain D's is their FRIED OYSTERS. If you're a shellfish lover like I am, having easy access to fried oysters is like having a DQ open up next door. Fried oysters are usually impossible to find unless you go to a really expensive seafood restaurant and order a $50-$70 meal. Every now and again someplace reasonable will sell them. But not often. Having easy access to them AND lobster rolls is the Holy Grail for seafood lovers here in the landlocked Midwest. The big CD sells the little fried gems at six for $3.99. That's pretty darn reasonable. And they come to you in a little box, hot and crispy, ready to dip in the tartar sauce and gallop down your gullet. Mmmmmm-mmmmmm.
I have been known to get only the lobster rolls, the fried oysters, and some shrimp for dinner here at the drive through. They're always polite, and offer you whatever sauces you need. Also, on Wednesdays they offer special reduced prices for Seniors, and on Thursdays special prices for military families. It's not bad inside, either, with lots of seating, a drink/sauces station, and music over the speakers. Sadly though, more often than not it's country music, which is why I usually don't go inside.
Anyway, it's a pretty good place. Their fish and sides are always good. And as to those who looked at the pictures of the "worm" in the fish, give me a break. It's not a worm. It's most likely a vein or a capillary. Fish have them too, y'know. I'll be back!

We received the wrong order chicken instead of fish. Returned 1 hour later with the complete order UNTOUCHED the male manager was VERY RUDES DISRESPECTFUL but he did give us the Correct order just with tooo much of a hassle & trying to argue NOT COOL MAN !!!!

Finally the fish is almost back k to the size of when they first opened. Prices are still a little high for what you get. They should go back to the "All you can eat" on Sundays again

We finally decided to experience the joys of fish and chips especially when they were advertising all that shrimp! I love shrimp and go to all you can eat buffets just to pile it on.
However, "pile it on" is not a phrase I would use at Captain D's. If anyone was hard pressed to find the smallest shrimp on the planet, it wasn't this place, they may have even cornered the market on it.
The Shrimp dinner included some hush puppies and a couple of sides, which corresponded nicely with the size of the Shrimp.
I mean, come on, I know they call it Shrimp for a reason, but the runts?

This one is become a regular stop for me about once a month. I enjoyed going to Capt. D's because I can get good seafood that's prepared well for reasonable price and have a choice of vegetables.

Granted the green beans usually come out of the can but that's better than french fries any day of the week.

The staff is friendly and welcoming and I've always found the restaurant to be clean and well cared for. A good stop for fish.

We stopped in to try the lobster rolls, they were pretty darn good for fast food! But we are impressed with all the options for side dishes and the excellent friendly service and clean place

Brian was very nice and professional and goes all out with customer service! Very polite and helpful!

The last time we ate here the food was terrible. That is the fish and butterfly shrimp. We ordered it as take out and got home to find out the fish was about half the width and covered with a thick breading that was terrible. Then the jumbo butterfly shrimp was smaller and coated too with a thick sickening breading. We called and they said that we could come back and they would give us complete dinners free. We didn't want to go get more of the same sickening food. Why did you change venders? Would rather pay more for the good fish and jumbo shrimp that you were serving than this horrible stuff you served us. Haven't gone back and won't unless it is changed back to the better fish and jumbo shrimp. Loved going to this one as they were always so nice.

Service was friendly; food was cooked to order and hot. Only downside was the coleslaw was very warm--as if they had scooped it out first and set the plate under the warming rack. Restaurant was clean enough...fries are straight cut without the skins, kind of like Long John Silvers used to do before they went healthy. Worth a try if fast food seafood is your thing.
