At our Defiance, OH location, we are part of a historic seafood tradition. Captain D’s Seafood Restaurant first opened its doors back on August 15, 1969. 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.
Fast-food chain serving fried fish & shrimp combo meals along with gumbo & funnel cakes. Based on 830 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $

WRONG HOURS POSTED ON THE BUILDING BESIDE DOOR AND ON THIS APP. Went to dine here 3 times way “post covid”. First time we walked in and had the second door shut in our face during ‘open hours’ – said they were too busy to take any more orders. Second time drove up to the drive thru during posted open hours. No one came to the order area (it was lit and it wasn’t even 5 so assumed they were open). After a considerable wait, drove around to the front and restaurant was dark. Today walked in on a Tuesday at 8:01, obviously doors unlocked. There were people eating in the diningroom. We were told by the girl still standing behind the counter (menu board and kitchen behind her still lit with fryers going) that they were closed. She did say “sorry we’re closed” but then argued with me about the sign not saying they were open until 10pm on Tuesday. When I pounted to the sign, she then said “well that’s during regular hours”???? What??? I asked if they would please change their signage, especially the one posted on the building right by the entrance and promptly left. As we drove away, we saw on the EXIT SIDE of the ‘drive thru’ sign way up on a pole – ‘close 8pm’. This was not on the side you see when driving through the entrance off the road. We’ve given up with this place. Can’t rate the food bc we can’t catch them open!!! Plenty of other places to eat after 8 in Defiance Ohio. Will not try again. Done!

I have always been satisfied with the food and service until today. I ordered a dozen shrimp and fish meal and was served 6 shrimp instead of 12. When I asked they told me their truck didn’t come the night before. There was no offer to fix it. The fries were cold along with the shrimp and fish. I heard the cook use the “f” word and a couple of other curse words while sitting in the lounge waiting for my food. I will not be back for a while.

Great food! The speaker in the drive thru needs repaired, it is hard to hear what they are saying. But the service was good and the atmosphere is pleasant.

I’m just so bummed out. This is the second time I’ve come to this location only to find out the hours online don’t match what’s actually going on. Just now I stopped on my way back from Chicago to take dinner home for my family. It is 8.22 p.m. and it says they’re closing at 10:00 p.m. Tonight. I rerouted all the way from Chicago specifically to come here because everyone was craving the southern style. Whitefish. I pulled in only to be told they closed at 8:00 p.m.

Just tried to get some dinner, walked in, no one at the counter. We waited around five minutes, still saw absolutely no one. Gave up and went elsewhere. I really wanted hushpuppies, too bad no one was working today.

I waited for 30 minutes for my food, went to pay with American Express card and found out CFd does not accept AE. Nothing was posted on t he s drive thru menu about CC.

Every time I go to Defiance Ohio I have to stop here and get food. Never had a bad experience here the food is hot and freshly made. Nice employees at the drive thru window!

To slow its a 20-30 min wait everytime, i really like the food but Cap D’s needs to hire robots not people i just refuse to wait that long.

Love to go here whenever my wife and I are able. Great food and clean, quiet restaurant. The quality of their food is so much better than the LJS places.

not impressed. Fish was well cooked but little to no taste. Bland. All entries are deep-fried. Sides like ocra the same battered n fryed . Corn on the cob was previously frozen and tasted not that great. The butter for the corn was in small containers and so hard by the time they melted on my corn the corn was cold.
