The Captain D’s Experience:

At Captain D’s, we’re dedicated to serving freshly prepared seafood at reasonable prices, all while offering the best dining experience in the industry—and we work hard to make sure that these values shine through in every customer interaction. We’ve had 50 years to perfect our recipe for success, which combines great food and great value with even better service, and this focus on serving quality seafood in a warm and inviting atmosphere has helped us grow to over 500 restaurants since 1969.

We’re serious about serving great food—and great food begins with the highest quality ingredients. We go to great lengths to ensure that only the best fish, seafood, poultry, and vegetables wind up on our guests’ plates. In addition to our classic hand-battered fish fillets, our menu also includes a wide variety of other crispy fried or grilled fish, shrimp, chicken, and regional seafood favorites, as well as popular side dishes such as coleslaw, hush puppies, Southern-style green beans, and baked potatoes. Great seafood is our passion, and we pride ourselves in seeking out the best ingredients and then delivering our guests’ delicious meals at a great value.
