Captain Steve’s Seafood Sag

Dear Captain Steve’s
Your prices are fair, your portion sizes are huge, your employees are kind, and you are consistent with all of these things. When you were on Monroe Rd you were great and I followed you to your current location and you remained an amazing place to eat. Coming here is a priority when I come home to visit because you are that wonderful!
To Unilocalers what is good here??? literally everything, I like to get the fish sandwich and take the second filet off and save it for the next day because the portion is so big. My best friend loves the fried oysters and has even said they are the best she has ever had in her life from any fish camp out here. My parents like the perch and flounder and it is fried to perfection never soft always nice and crispy!
Over the course of about 12 plus years I have tried the entire menu here and you really can not go wrong with anything get it salt and peppered for extra flavor or just regular if you like things in the not so seasoned side I’ve had it both ways and it is wonderful. Definitely give this place a try if you’re into southern seafood not a better fish camp for miles!!!

Meh… mediocre I asked about the hush puppies and the waitress raved they were the best she’d ever had! So I ordered some. Just like everything else I ordered they were sub par

We love going to Captain Steve’s. The food is always good and the prices are reasonable. The hush puppies are delicious. If you’re not careful you’ll be full off of them before your seafood arrives. We typically get scallops and fried oysters. So good!

I like the fried seafood at this place. It is usually very crisp (which I prefer) and is very flavorful. There are two areas where they could improve and rate 5 stars:
1. They need to make their own tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. The great fish camps in surrounding counties (Gaston, especially) does this and it sets them apart. It would be worth their time to develop these as what they have is not great and tastes like it comes from a jar. Homemade hush puppies would be great also.
2. The combination plates can be skimpy, based on what you order. If I go to long creek fish fry in Gaston County, jones fish camp in Caldwell county, or Lincoln Seafood in Lincoln County, you can expect 4 – 5 flounder filets and 6 – 8 chicken tenders on a combination plate. Here, I’ve ordered the same and received one small flounder filet and three tenders. That’s not much compared to other camps in the area.
Overall, this place is recommended. The food is good and the workers at the takeout window are great!

I ate at Capt. Steve’s last night, and I’ve paid the price ALL DAY! That have to be buying cheap fish. Grilled flounder filets were about an ¹⁄₈ of a inch thick. That’s being gracious. They were coated with an awful seasoning. Had grilled shrimp to go with it. They were as rubbery as any I’ve had. But hey, I was hungry, so I ate it. Up half the night with unbelievable gas, and all day today with the trots! Severe Trots! So long Capt Steve, you sunk your own ship!

Pretty good seafood… I had the grilled salmon salad and it was tasty… the salad was fresh and the salmon was seasoned well

I’ve been on the search for an amazing seafood place I think I may have found it, but I want to try Mayflower Seafood Restaurant before I say I’m totally in love with this place.
Me and my girlfriend went here a couple of nights ago. When we came in and was seated I felt like it took unusually long for us to meet our waiter. We were waiting for like 5−10mins. I understand she may have been busy, but I still think a hey I’ll be your waiter I’ll be with you in just a few minutes would’ve been okay. (My girlfriend just said I’m being impatient lol) but when she finally did come she brought us hush puppies (I love good HUSHPUPPIES) they came with honey butter and they were unlimited that right there already had me in awe. So I ordered my Fishermans Platter and my girl who isn’t a fan of seafood ordered The Grilled Chicken with a salad. Her salad came with in minutes. I felt like our actual entrees took forever too come but our waitress kept our drinks full which I loved :) and she kept the HUSHPUPPIES coming. The hushpuppies aren’t the best in the world but ehhh I felt like they were a bit too hard for me and somewhat bland. Would’ve liked them to be more flavorful and fluffy. But after what seemed like 30 – 45 mins we finally got out entrees. My plate was stacked with fried everything I was amazed it was a lot of food for 17.99. I had jumbo shrimp which was great. Baby shrimp. A crab, oyster. Everything on that plate was DELICIOUS! And it was a lot I barely finished half before I had to call it in and get a container. OHH and the baked potato was good and well prepared wasn’t all beat up and thrown in foil paper lol. And Hailee loved the chicken she said she wasn’t expecting it to be soo good since it’s a seafood joint but she let me get a bite and it was nice very very nice juicy and flavorful! I loved it all.
Overall, Food was amazing service was mediocre. I would definitely come back again!!! I want to try the Mayflower Seafood joint to see how it compares.

I’ve eaten here twice with coworkers. They have great food with great prices for lunch. Their lunch portions are honestly dinner sized portions. My coworkers and myself always utilize take out plates back to the office. The dining area is huge! Bathrooms are right near the front when you first walk in.
The only thing that I cannot stand is that for the popular two lunch specials (combinations), you cannot order scallops. I even asked the server if I can get them if I paid extra. I was told that I would have to order a bigger platter (the captain platter I think) that costs about $ 3 and offers less food items. I honestly don’t understand that policy. If I want the combination platter am willing to pay extra, why can I not order some damn scallops? The captain platter gives more fishy options while I prefer scallops, shrimp, and clam strips.
I did order the bigger platter on my second visit just for the scallops and was underwhelmed. There weren’t enough for a scallop lover (maybe 5 averaged sized scallops) and I don’t really like fish but I had to get it.
They have good food overall and a good environment (kitchen times, servers, décor) so I can see myself returning with the coworkers. I would not return on my personal time… when I want my way and am willing to pay for the extra scallops, I should be able to order what I want, how I want it.

My first time at Captain Steve my daughter and I. The food was delicious and they give you so much the food was just falling off my plate… So the next day we decided to take my husband and my son and they said there’s no other seafood restaurant they will go to other than Captain Steve’s Hands-​down.

We just moved to Harrisburg so we thought we would try this place out. It is usually crowed when we have drove by so we thought it must be pretty good. Well it’s not. The flounder was fishy and had a very strong taste to it. Our children love fried baby shrimp and they wouldn’t eat their food. We ended up throwing our food away that night and all ate cereal. Very disappointed

I have been to the location in SC. I did not know this location existed until my lunch date. They give you plenty of food and the service was very good. I will visit this location again.

Went to Captain Steve’s for a birthday party, a big birthday party. There were about 75 of us in a separate room. Our service was excellent and the food was very good. My husband & I got the small order of shrimp and should have split it. This was the small order! It was huge and I took half home for another meal. Also, one of my friends ordered the side salad which looked so good I wished I had ordered it but had way too much food already. Not your average side salad! Not your average seafood restaurant. Excellent!
No complaints!

Awesome food and awesome service. I have to say I have never been displeased!!! Everything on the menu is great and fresh! I have yet to try something I did not like. Great staff on hand and great lunch specials. One of the best places to eat in harrisburg.

Visited Captain Steve ’ s for the first time today. There were 11 in our party. Our servers were great. They had 2 large parties at the same time. But we NEVER felt neglected.
Our food came to our table at one and it was all HOT!
Everyone received the correct food, our drinks were maintained full, and the amount of food was generous.
We order fish, shrimp, broiled items, & steaks. Smiles all around.
I WILL return whenever I visit the Charlotte area.

the portions are huge and reasonably priced but still AVOID THIS PLACE
skip the side of grilled shrimp! tasteless rubbery shrimp!
shrimp cocktail was nice and the cocktail sauce served with it was much better than that on the table.
fried pickles were tasty
she crab soup was just ok– as a Charleston SC native I have had much much better!
our server tried to be helpful, but she was quite forgetful. we had to ask 2 – 3 times for the things we needed and she must have had other things to do elsewhere in the restaurant as we had a hard time getting her when we needed her.
parties of 6 or more is apparently a automatic 18% gratutity added to your check– which in my experience is license for them to give you crappy service! We did voice our disapproval of this as we did not see this in the entrance or on the menu but that was pointed out by the manager GEORGE who we asked to speak with. and his attitude towards us was less than professional. We told him that we believed she deserved a tip– just not 18% as we had several issues that had happened, we didn’t want anything comp’d for us although some things should’ve been.
When you are spending $ 130 on dinner — the service and quality should’ve been a lot better! So he angrily took the recipt and removed the gartutity — when he returned and gave it back he did not say a word. NO apology or anything! So thanks George– your true colors tell me to never return and to not recommend anyone else to come!

Was pleasantly surprised about this place. Portions are huge so make sure you are really hungry when you go. Prices are really reasonable as well. Hushpuppies are the best I have ever had.

To go service was fast and accurate. Large platter is wayyyy too much for one person! I had the Large fried platter w/​salt & pepper cat fish strips, oysters, and scallops. The fried oysters were my favorite, very well seasoned. I didn’t care for the homemade lemonade it had an odd after taste but everything else was great. My mom got the broiled platter with jumbo shrimp and scallops and also had no complaints. She liked the lemonade. I’d definitely visit again, but will not order a large platter as it will take days for one person to get through!!!

I was not at all impressed by this restaurant. The food was bland, the service was nothing special, and the atmosphere was terrible.
The «small» seafood plate had more food than you’d ever imagine, if only they would switch from a quantity to a quality emphasis. The shrimp and onion rings had little to no taste and it was obvious that they weren’t prepared fresh to order but instead were being kept lukewarm in the kitchen. My sweet tea tasted like it was made with warm hose water, and the hush puppies were subpar. None of the food was presented especially well, really it was all just thrown together.
When it comes to the atmosphere, it’s strange. The whole restaurant is dark, and has a very dated feel. Also, I found it odd that the busboy was hovering near my table. It was absolutely creepy. It was almost like he was staring, which simply made we want to get out– ASAP.
I do not recommend this establishment, despite really wanting to enjoy it. There are very few seafood restaurants in or around Harrisburg, and it’s a shame that this one is cannot meet even low expectations.

My wife and I ate in; the service was fast, the staff kind and the food great. You always get your value worth here. I have been to the Fort Mill and Monroe Rd. location but the Harrisburg beats them both.
Have a good time if you devise to dine.

Seafood. If your one of those guys, like me, who would rather have a buffet of some decent food over a barely half-​filled plate of some fancy schmancy stuff, you may not want to go to a seafood joint that’s landlocked. I mean, let’s be honest, a seafood buffet is where it’s at, and to find one it can be somewhat difficult in the Charlotte area. However, at Steve’s, there are some damn filling portions of decent food if I must say so myself. Seems they pride themselves on their deep fried dishes, but that was expected. They also have healthier seafood options.
Service was great. Waitress was very attentive to the needs of our table. Venue is fairly loud, décor-​wise, but adds to the feeling of being down at the beach. And what can be better than that?
