At our Sanford, FL 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.

Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable, will never go back to Captain D’s.
Took my daughter for a kids’ meal and got her a lemonade. She drank most of it without issue, but when we got to the car and looked in the bottom of the cup, there was a small, dark foreign object sitting in the remaining lemonade. It’s black, solid, irregular-shaped, and very clearly not a lemon seed, pulp, ice, or anything that’s supposed to be in a drink (photos attached, it’s obvious).
This wasn’t something that fell in after we left the counter; the lid was already on when they handed it to us. That means whatever this object came from inside the restaurant, whether it was in the cup, the ice, the syrup line, or the drink machine itself.
I’m sick to my stomach thinking my little girl was drinking from this the whole time. We kept the cup exactly as it was with the object still inside. Serving something like this, especially in a child’s drink, is beyond gross; it’s a serious health and sanitation issue.
Captain D’s, this is not okay.

I had a crappy day yesterday and after work today i decided to treat myself with capt d. was the best decision I made. Miss Cassie and Miss Caroline was absolutely amazing. They were smiling and helpful. And treated me like I mattered. I love those ladies. And the food was hot and fresh!!! Can’t say ANYTHING bad about them!

Food was great, temperature, not greasy, my kids loved it. Cassie is a sweetheart. Love her. Staff is friendly. It’s one of our favorite spots for fish Friday. The grilled salmon was on point. ❤️

I never had an issue at this restaurant until today!!! Ordered my food drove home to find the food provided was cold with black spot’s all over it. I called the restaurant and inform the staff. I asked for a refund. The person told me to bring the food back to receive the refund. I brought the food back untouched. The Manager/cook was rude and stated I could not get a refund but he will cook anything I wanted. I requested the sandwich I ordered cooked and made properly. He then gave me a sandwich within 4 minutes that was cold without the cheese. I told the cashier who took it back to the manager and he added a cold piece of cheese on top!!!! Ridiculous poor customer service.

I just left here, the experience has been the worst, I have been coming for years.
After waiting 4-5 minutes in the drive through with no response I finally spoke to someone, it seemed as if they meant to mess with me about the order.
I had to ask for the same 2 meals about 5 times and the gentleman in the drive through today was asking me irrelevant questions to my order. He repeatedly asked me the same questions I had obviously already answered as if it was funny to them.
The lady behind me in the drive thru overheard it and she left in disgust as if she didn’t car to deal with these people. I was so hungry all I asked for was 2 meals it didn’t seem that hard, so I went to the window to continue ordering after this.

If you are ever in the Sanford area looking for some good eats I would highly recommend Captain D’s. I have eaten here many times and I have not yet been disappointed. My food is always fresh, great tasting, and good portion sizes. The hush puppies here are so good (crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and great flavor). I tried the crab cakes here for the first time and I really enjoyed them. The battered fish is my favorite. It’s crispy, light, and airy on the outside and great tasting fish on the inside. The chicken tenders are phenomenal here as well.

I patronized Captain D’s located at 2514 S French Ave, Sanford, FL 32771 today. I ordered from the signage on property (1) $5.99 special and (2) $11 Butterfly Shrimp. See photos
A black female with awful dental problems, wearing a white sweater, was terribly rude. Initially upon seeing me standing there she totally ignored me waiting to enter and let in someone else on the opposite side of the store. (see store video camera)
I walked back to my car and went through the drive through. My food was cold and not what I ordered.
Other Franchises outside of Sanford do not tolerate this behavior. Since I do not want to drive to Orlando just to enjoy Captain D’s I will take my business to another Sanford, Florida proprietor not steeped in a dismissive culture.

Me and my spouse ordered the stuff crabs, cold slaw, and a fish, shrimp, and fries meal. When we received our food. We were missing items…. My plate was supposed to have fries fish and shrimp…. They gave me like 5 pieces of fries a fish and 4 little pieces of shrimp and it comes with 5…. I called the manager and she was very rude and hung up in our face. And the food was cold looked very old. SMH very ridiculous.

I ordered the new battered garlic shrimp and after eating MOST of them, I realized that most were not deveined! That’s disgusting! Here are 4 “UNVEINED” shrimp. The flavor of the food was good, but there is no coming back from poop in a shrimp. I will never order from there again.
