Captain D's

Now that the Long John Silvers in Tampa had closed, I had no options for fast food fish anymore. My grandparents live near here so I went to try Captain Ds for lunch- and it was pretty good! Much better than LJS. Decent prices, too. For 12.47, I was able to get a piece of fish, a piece of chicken, two shrimp rolls, Mac n cheese, 2 hush puppies and a Mountain Dew- no apps or online deals needed. Also, they have Pepsi products, which I lIke much more than coke products. I'll definitely come again once I'm in the area.I really hope one opens near me in Tampa soon. There's a closed Aussie Grill on N Dale Mabry that would be perfect!

Quiet, clean, attention to detail even though limited staff, cook and Autumn were amazing and accommodating. We will be back for sure.

I see a couple negative reviews. Okay. So, how was MY visit?Perfect. I was greeted the moment I stepped foot in the door by Lisa (Miss Bubbly)!She then took my order and totally made me feel welcomed. I got a 2-piece Fish Meal. My choice of sides were Fries and Corn on the cob. As always I'm completely honest, so I will say the fish fillets I received were about half the size of what I ever remember getting. But, it's been years since I was able to visit any Captain D's AND things have changed drastically since then!The fish was delicious, no change in crispness or taste. The hush puppies excellent. Fries and corn just right. I've gotta mention Lisa again! She is a whirlwind of activity! Her multi-tasking really impressed me. She was taking orders at the register AND from the drive-through! Talking to customers face to face and in their cars. She came out to clean and tidy up the dining area. She double-checked diners desires.She was the epitome of polite! Lots of Sweeties, Thank you's, Honeys and just plain overall joy! ALL service providers could take a lesson from Lisa! Thank YOU!

The restaurant was clean (for fast food), and the employee who rang us up was really friendly. But the food was bland. My wife and I each had the fish, chicken and shrimp combo. The best thing I ate was the macaroni & cheese. The worst was the sweet & sour sauce (who puts mustard in sweet & sour?).When I'm in the mood for greasy fish, I'll go to LJS. We won't return to Captain Ds.

The food is always hot and fresh. Fish is delicious and chicken is crispy and tasty. Fries have a nice flavor as do the green beans.

The people are super friendly but the food they're selling should be illegal broke my heart on my lunch break with this

Tried their lobster roll a while back, actually pretty good.Went back this week and got take out --- fried shrimp and fried fish -- both incredibly bad. No taste at all to shrimp, just breading, same with fish.Everything tasted the same, including the hushpuppies --- nothing but breading, no seasoning, no taste. All the hot sauce and runny wanna be tartar sauce can't save this mess.Don't understand how they stay in business -- but I did notice I was the only customer in there.

Big disappointment, got the "flounder" dinner with 2 sides. Corn on cob was boiled to death, fish fried so hard it was like a potato chip, and very salty. Only thing good was the side of shrimp. I should have ordered in that way I could have sent it back, the management needs to work on keeping the meals fresh and train staff better.

As I'm sitting here for over an hour stuck in the drive through lane I just felt it was appropriate to spend my time writing a review. Questioning if I should even eat the food as I just saw one of the cooks come up with her dirty cup to refill it with ice proceeding to dump whatever was left of her sweet tea into the ice after I just saw the other girl fill my cup up with the same ice she just contaminated. I get it's not a nice restaurant but at least use the ice scoop while people are sitting at the window for over an hour.
