At our Sparta, TN 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.

The staff worked quickly to get us our food. My kids said their chicken was kind of tough, but had good flavor. My husband and I enjoyed our catfish meals. The fish was hot, fresh, and good which is a plus most restaurants don’t cook greens beans well so I was surprised that I liked them him. They loved the corn as well. I would visit again..

It’s good. Everyone is friendly. The fish was so hot it scalded my fiancée’s mouth and it is still sore from it but atleast we know it was cooked fresh. All those kids working in there are nice and polite.

After receiving my order at the counter, I fixed my drink and sat down at a booth. That’s when I noticed the putrid smell. I thought it was something in the booth, so I moved to another booth and the smell was still there. I started to think the lady sitting across from me might have pissed her drawers. I finally realized the nasty smell was coming from the plastic tray they served my food on. When I say it was bad, please believe me that it was beyond bad. How does this happen? How do the employees not smell that? My work partner picked his tray up to smell it and his was the same way. Management needs to get this figured out. I won’t be back.

Got a deluxe seafood platter, and it was so horrible. Fish swimming in oil deviled crabs were burnt, and no meat was left. The shrimp was so hard I couldn’t eat it. Coleslaw seemed like it had sit all day. My husband’s fish sandwich was like eating cooking oil. To pay $19.07, this was nothing but slop fit for a hog. Started calling at 5:30 pm and kept calling until 7:00 pm No one would pick up the phone.

Haven’t visited a Capt Ds in about 5 years. Lots of menu items. Only car in drive thru, took about 13 minutes from order to food handed to me. Which was expected if it were all fresh. Fries were not warm, a few items were fresh. Friendly lady at the window. Not great, not bad and the only seafood-ish place in this town so it’ll have to do.

The drive through service was really bad. I ordered baked fish so they took a very long time for my order . Then said it was the microwave was not working properly but yet others were getting there food and driving off while I sat for 25-30 after paying for my food in the drive thru .

Sparta Tennessee location…poor SLOW SERVICE! They were definitely more interested in filling their drive thru orders than the people seated in dining room. We were the only 2 people in dining room and it took over 30 minutes to receive our mediocre food.

We were disappointed in our last visit. Our order was taken and we waited longer than necessary to finally ask “where’s our food” a discussion took place and excuse was given but, no sincere apology for giving our food to someone in the drive through. The cashier was not happy to fill our teas behind the counter since she had just made new tea and hadn’t yet filled the container on the counter. Twenty years in food service. Y’all can do way better. Half an hour wait should have brought us an apology and a discounted meal. We got attitude and undercooked fish.

The crab cakes were actually bread in a shell. There was literally one little strand in one shell and absolutely zero in the other. I’m Shure they come in a box frozen.byt an $18.00 combo should be eatable.the food quality is 30% of what it used to be.not blaming the staff.
