Captain D’s

This was rather a first time in over 5 years that I’ve been back here. We decided to go to the drive thru and after placing an order, sat waiting for about 10 minutes or so.
My husband ordered the grilled fish with grilled shrimp and according to him, the rice, veggies and shrimp was yummy while the tilapia was alright.
I spotted a sign indicating they serve ‘FRESH’ fried oysters and knowing me, I’ve been trying to find a new place that serves them. This platter option was not listed on their menu so we were unaware of the price. The lady told us it was six pieces and it was tiny six pieces.
(I know, why risk getting oyster in a fast food joint. Because, it sounded good. We will see if it will make me ill later. I’ll update this if it does.)
Hushpuppies are, well, they’re fried. Almost everything is fried here. So it could be a bit dry but to me, it’s like cornbread.
I’m surprised I was given a full ear of corn on the cob. I was expecting half of one.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal. Although the price would be something like Applebee’s for two. Drinks were not included in our platter meals.

Holy crap we went to get a rather quick dinner to take home. Pull up to the drive-​thru and sat behind a customer who looked to be waiting place her order. After a good or rather not so good 10minutes I called the store from the drive-​thru to let them know people were outside ready to give them money in exchange for nourishment. She proceeds to take the folks in front of us, their order. So we place our’s and are told to pull around. After 15 of waiting behind the young lady in front of us and, unknown to us a person already at the window I pulled off and went to super-​fast Burger King, he says with chagrin. I shalt be returning.

Damn it. I love Captain Ds. In fact, it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Always reliable, delicious, and friendly. The manager at the Monroe location has worked there since I was born, over 3 decades ago! So, it’s safe to say that she knows the business. I like it but I guess it’s not for everyone.

Nothing for the money unless you like dry fish jerky for $ 11.00 and no service.
The service is horrible. I could not believe how dry the fish and «hush puppies» are. Will never make that mistake again.

I really try not to eat here much, so the time away you would think they would get it together. This place is the slowest fast food in the history of fast food. I ordered two fish sandwiches and as long as it took you would think I ordered several family meals. I waited for 20 minutes, someone came to the window once and said it’ll be a few minutes and get this he was the cook. The people up front was so engulfed in their conversation I don’t think they even remembered I was sitting there. Finally my food was ready and I got a potato, well no forks, no butter, no sour cream, no nothing. And the guy looked at me and said oh I didn’t know you wanted those things. But h did give me one napkin how sweet. This place stinks, and some how after all that time the food was not good. Imagine that.

Let me start out by saying that Captain D’s is my all time favorite restaurant… ok with that being said, I absolutely hate this particular location. The fish is scrawny, burnt, rubbery, and dry. I dont think i will ever go back to this location again. From now on I’ll just drive to either Charlotte or Monroe (the best!).

Ah… Captain D’s…Quite torn since this place falls into limbo land in my classification of «fast» food and sit down. Probably more leaning to the fast food side… you do come in, order at a counter, and the food is brought out to you… but it’s not your normal burger and fries type fast place, it’s seafood. And if there is one thing you don’t want to rush is the cooking of seafood (definitely don’t’ want to get sick on account of hasty cooking).
This place also does have a drive thru… so I’m just going to give up the debate and call it fast food. I’ve only dined in in most of my experiences here, but I recently went thru the drive through, and it wasn’t that bad. It’s not your typical drive through since you end up waiting a few minutes and the drive around gets a bit backed up. I like the fact that you don’t have to get out of your car… but you do burn a lot of gas just parked along side of the building [ I ended up turning my engine off for a few minutes ].
Mostly everything they offer here is deep fried. So gurd your arteries here… it is fish, so the protien is probably better for you than a normal beef patty, but the batter doesn’t give a strong case to making it any healthier than that. Sides include: hush puppies, fries, and cole slaw…
The staff is very nice and depending on how slammed the dining room is, there can be a wait sometimes. Nice assortment of sauces to chose from, tarter, malt vinegar… and dip to your hearts delight (or fright — depending on how much you consume).
