    Revised 12/1/2021: Today, I had the most horrible Captain D's meal ever. Ordered grilled tilapia. Part way into fish, noticed it didn't cut easily, then saw pink, uncooked fish (tilapia cooks white). Corn on cob was bearly warm and mushy. Baked potato was hot, but not steaming. Restaurant interior is in need of a good cleaning. Had to ask for table to be cleaned. Only one other customer was in restaurant at the time, so not busy. Only 2 employees running the place. Restroom wasn't particularly clean either. Cases of takeout boxes were stacked to ceiling at rear of restaurant. Not the best place for storage. This is an older restaurant, but no excuse for poorly cooked meals and dirty interior. 6 mos. ago: Had 3 piece fish. Fish was nice and crispy. Side items (fries and coleslaw)were skimpy portions, but tasty. This location currently only offers drive-thru.

    I ordered here despite knowing how unwelcoming the staff are and how the quality of the food is hit and miss. I love(d) the battered fish however. Last time I came, we got a to go order and found the fish was spoiled after getting home! I wrote their corporate office and after two weeks, never got a reply. I fear I have to outright condemn this place. Also, they have had spicy battered fish on the menu for eight months, but have NEVER had it available to order. The kitchen is highly disorganized, wait times exceedingly long and the staff have virtually no social training whatsoever. This is actually the most outstanding example of a poorly operated fast food joint I have ever experienced. But I still came... the battered fish called me... till you served me spoiled fish. The one saving grace is no more. You really should just close down. This place is an embarrassment and ongoing tragedy that needs to end. Shame! Shame! Shame!

    Waste of time and money. I won’t be eating at this location again. I don’t trust any place that will knowingly serve food like this. Unacceptable.

    This captain D's used to be so good. Fish was ok and but the mac and cheese was old & nasty and the hushpuppies were old and chewy. We like the Buford location better.

    Used to love Captain Ds. This location like many others feel like they're about to close their doors. No condiments out, big puddle on the floor, sticky table, and nasty rest rooms. Sorry Captain, this ship has sailed.

    $40 for soggy fish and old chicken with soggy fries. This location was once a good spot, they were always slow but the food was good. Now I'm never going back to this location.

    We definitely won’t be eating here again. The broccoli was old and chewy. Deviled crab was hard and inedible. Employees sitting around the restaurant looking very unhappy, bored, and talking on their speaker phone. And watching videos on their phone. Unprofessional behavior. Pretty sad restaurant. Don’t waste your time or money.

    I took my parents out to eat for lunch and we were thoroughly disappointed. When we walked in, there was an employee laying down on the seats directly in front of the register. Then we ordered our food and the cashier was nice. Once we received our food, it didn't taste well at all. The shrimp was fried too hard, the fish was undercooked and very salty. I opened up my box of food and there was a long strand of hair in it. I knew it wasn't mines, because I have a short pixie cut. I went back to the counter and told the young lady that there was hair in my food. She didn't apologize for the inconvenience, all she said was "do you want some new food". So I said yes, and few minutes later, she brought me a new box of food. Again, the shrimp was fried too hard and the fish was fried hard but the inside still was gooey. So I only ate a few bites and threw it all away. Wasted $28 on our 3 meals because it was barely eaten. The floor was slippery. The seats had food and trash in them. An employee emptied the trash but never brought the trash can back so we weren't able to throw our food away. We just piled it up on top of the counter. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this location and I should have just requested a refund.

    Soup with a Fork! It had probably been 15-20 years since I last ate at a Captain D's. A friend suggested we have lunch there today. I had the fried fish and shrimp plate. The sides of Cole slaw and French fries were incredibly small, but the fish and shrimp were OK, about what I remember. We both also ordered a bowl of potato soup. We were done with our lunch and it had not come out yet so I went back to the counter and had to wait a couple of more minutes for the soup to come out. I asked for spoons and the girl behind the counter dug around for a few seconds and then told me they didn't have any spoons. She handed me two plastic forks and disappeared back into the kitchen! No offer to refund the purchase, no offer to make it right, just her back as she walked away. Now, I remember why its been 15-20 years...

    The meal consisted of 1 piece of unrecognizable "fish" that was hard, bland and waterlogged, 5 dime sized shrimps, 12 fries, and 2 hush puppies! One bite of each and into the trash it went! I paid for the experience!

    This store and the ppl are ridiculous.. 15 dollars for 3 small pieces of catfish and a small side of Mac n cheese.. The cashier was more interested in his conversation outside than coming in to ring me up. I'd give the store less stars if it'd let me..

    We ordered the $5.99 deal the herb and garlic shrimp with the one fish. The shrimp wasn't even cooked my aunts fried okra was burnt and her shrimp wasn't cooked nary dad's. We took them back up there and told them about it they gave us all fresh plates but with the reg shrimp not the herb and garlic. Also it smelt really BAD in there like dirty feet or something and the womans bathroom seems like it hasn't been mopped for a long time smelt like pee or worse. They didn't have green beans or clams what my dad wanted. We arew going back to that one again next one will be winder. They need to get a differnt manager on there to make sure they are doing there job. My daughter ordered a cheese cake Bo strawberries.

    This place is a great value for the amount of food that you receive! Although it is still fast food, the quality is still good. They have coupons all the time and you can feed a family of 4 for less than 20 bucks! I like being 10 piece fish value meal with two sides for $15.49 I come here all the time. I love their Tartar and honey mustard, they are absolutely delicious!

    This is the $5.99 fish & fries meal. I opened it up at the drive thru because it felt light and I see why. I asked the cashier Dymond if this was correct and she said yes because the fries had to fit in the side capartment. I ordered a side of green beans because this wouldn’t fill me up which was an additional $3. I’ve worked in the corporate side of the restaurant industry for over a decade so I understand food costs but this was beyond what I would ever expect. I also would never blame the front house staff for how much food is given but Dymond was also unpleasant and didn’t even say hi or thank you during my transaction. I would at least expect good customer but I also didn’t experience this. I will not be returning to Captain D’s in the near future.
