At our Vidalia, GA 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.

This visit was mediocre at best! The food was warm–NOT hot. When we tried placing our drink orders, we were simply told that there was no ice. I replied that normally fountain drinks are a little cool, so we’d like some anyway. Boy, do I wish I’d heeded the warning because the sodas were hot and FLAT!!! Next, the intercom was set on some VERY OLD recording because when my friend heard Casey Kasem reading off the “current” hits, he exclaimed, “I didn’t know he was still alive! I thought he had passed away?” All I could do was laugh since clearly he was not paying attention to the music being played. So I pointed out, what I thought was the obvious by asking of the song that had just come on, “When was the last time you heard the Fat Boys and Chubby Checker out with current music or a top 10 hit?” (LMBO) But the kutagara was the apparent mold and/or mildew (see pics) that was overrunning the place and looked to be assisting in the deterioration of the building!!!!! That’s when I wanted to run; however, they were hungry and ate fast. So the moral of this experience is, never work all day without eating, then go somewhere starving and desperate.

Beyond slow. I waited for over 20 minutes at drive-thru and I was the only customer inside or out. The fish had been fried in old oil and tasted really bad The cashier told me they were waiting on hush puppies after 20 minutes. They were barley even warm. Awful service, and awful food.

This restaurant was my very 1st job when I was 15. I don’t usually stop here being they serve mostly fried fish & it’s not something I eat regularly. My dad is the one who loves fish like that so we stopped 2 get him lunch. When I walked in it looked that same as 30yrs ago, it doesn’t seem like they care 2 much 2 update the style or the food. To me the food is bland without much seasoning or flavor, they have a limited menu, the food isn’t that great, the staff doesn’t seem 2 act as if they care whether your satisfied or not. It wasnt a very friendly or pleasant experience. It’s not somewhere I would say to someone, hey let’s go eat here. Until they take some pride in their business and the staff becomes more friendly and inviting I don’t think I’ll be stopping by 2 buy my dad lunch again anytime soon. It could be a better place 2 eat if the owners would put some wrk into the appearance of the building, update the food selection on the menu sometimes and staff it with employee who take pride in their jobs or retrain the ones they have. It’s not that they did anything intentionally rude it’s that they did nothing at all 2 make my dining experience one that would make me wanot 2 go there again. They would have 2 make things right with my last stop first.
P.S. Reply to feedback frm owner, if your company truly appreciated our opinions and comments and were concerned about the poor experiences of the customers when we tell you about how poor quality the food was served to us, the poor and unclean conditions of the restaurant like the mold and stuff which upset me having my 2yr 9ld daughter with me and not wanting her near that you as a business owner should compensate me as a paying customer who was very disappointed and unhappy with what I paid for and the environment of the restaurant. Nobody wants to sit in a dirty restaurant with staff who act like they don’t care whether you eat there or not. If satisfaction of your customers is important to you when one like myself has an experience like this in your restaurant you should ask the owner try to reach out to the customer and offer compensation in forms of a gift voucher to use on a meal, discount coupons, vouchers or something of the sort to show me as a customer that my business is appreciated because without us customers you have no business. You are a customer service business that your profits come from us, so if your customer base begins to wean off due to the quality of your food and service and you as an owner never do anything to compensate our bad experience eventually you’re not going to have enough of a customer base to keep the doors open. It’s not like people are lining up to eat here now. I haven’t seen this restaurant buay like it use 2 be in yrs. So as a disappointed customer and a paying one I feel you owe me compensation for what I paid for.

Ate inside 10/27/25 12 noon never have seen so many unhappy employees ever? The lady taking our order was so miserable she could not smile if her life depending on it. other employee standing around on their cell phones acted like it was a big problem, but they had customers. Waited on our food then the fish was Luke warm so don’t know why it took so long ?

Decided to stop during a LONG trip home and was pleasantly surprised by the place. I’ve always loved Captian D’s and this one was awesome! Nice customer service, workers were very professional and kind, condiment area was clean and stocked, and tea wasn’t overly sweet. The food was also crispy, tender and full! The lobster bites were stuffed with lobster goodness! Also, unfortunately, I didn’t get the cashiers name but she was an absolute gem (beautiful braids as well)

Had to wait for food to be cooked which is a good thing. Employees where friendly and gave me plenty of cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. Food was good and hot.
