A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to serving freshly prepared seafood at a great value has been our core mission from the beginning. Known originally as Mr. D’s Seafood and Hamburgers, Captain D’s was opened in Donelson, Tennessee. From the very start, we set out to provide quality seafood at reasonable prices, a concept that was revolutionary at the time.

Love Captain D’s is the right place to get seafood or even chicken strips. The menu is priced just right. I got 3 full meals plus cheese sticks for forty dollars.

The tables were dirty we had to clean them before they could be used ( food, sauce on them) . They left half our order on the counter this was after bringing us the wrong order. We had to ask for our drinks but 2 workers were standing outside smoking and on their phones. This left 1 person in their doing everything.

The food was pretty good, just slightly overcooked. The girls behind the counter were talking loudly about very personal things, including an incident with a manager by the name of Amber. Customers don’t need to hear any of that.

Just ordered fish sandwich a little after 12 today. They served sandwich immediately. Like instantaneously. Felt fish to see if it was hot, warm, or cold. “Cold”. Asked that they fix me a “fresh” sandwich. They passed the cold sandwich to the back and amazingly in 20 seconds they had another sandwich ready. Uh…at this point after being treated so rudely and they still are refusing to cook the food fresh and to avoid getting into an argument I just left….out $6….but I was polite as my deceased parents taught me. Be a true Southerner. Always be polite even if others don’t deserve it. Last time to any Captain D’s.

We ate there on 7 /15:23 the service was great, but the food was lacking quality and quantity for what you paid. The oysters were about the size of a quarter and fried very hard it tasted like you were eating only crust and it was also cold the whole fish was very thin and small hush puppies good coleslaw good. They should’ve made up on the quantity of the whole fish It was a disappointment I guess we were just spoiled from eating, At Guntersville at the Catfish Cabini this restaurant doesn’t compare to the one in Guntersville when it was there it was the best and will be missed

Horrible service it took over 10 minutes to get my order to me.I was the only customer in the to go area .Once I got home I realized the fish was about 1 inch in width the chicken was burnt and couldn’t eat it.When your customers spend their hard earned money they expect a good meal in return especially when it’s almost 20.00 for the meal.This place USE to be amazing the service was top notch and food was what you would expect for the price.

I called in my order. I purchased a family pack that came with 10 pieces of fish, hush puppies, and 2 large sides. I also ordered cheese sticks, and funnel cake sticks. Everything was piping hot! The cheese sticks were so tasty. The fish was so good and light crispy. Hush puppies were fluffy and delish! The funnel sticks are my favorite! I could close my eyes while eating them and I could picture myself at a fair! The cashier was very nice and very helpful. I will definitely go back!

The food was good; but it was more expensive than it was worth. It seems that it has increased about 75% in the last 3 years?

I loved the spicy fish, but the news Cajun fish is no good.. The batter was not done on the inside. Like the oil was to hot when it was placed in it
