Social Profile:

At our Lexington, KY 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.

Never have an issue from this place but TONIGHT really did a test on my patience. I went through the drive thru around 9:15PM tonight and when I was there I tried to order something I KNEW I had ordered previously at least 5/6 times. I ordered 2 fish combos and then I had realized that he only rang up meals (which do not come with drinks). So I very politely asked for him to switch to combos and he said there are no fish and fry combo meals and says that I was staring at the senior meal. I just agreed and said okay because I figured this might’ve been a new change. I went back around to look at the menu and what do I see? THE VERY COMBO I HAD ASKED FOR! Then I went back inside to let him know and extremely rudely he says “WELL WHAT SIDE WOULD YOU LIKE?!” I told him none and let him know I was not making up a menu item. I will never be back. He was rude and showed ZERO HOSPITALITY.

New Circle rd location is my favorite. Always enjoy the $5.99 meal it’s filling and delicious. They now sell Cheesecake Factory desserts also. Interior could use some tlc in cleaning better.

We eat there often. Usually good. Employees have been polite and friendly. The tables and floors always have a clean appearance.

My only complaint is when deep fried items are occasionally cooked in old oil that give it a nasty “burnt-oil taste”. That’s pretty typical for fast food restaurants.

**Update 7-6-25: The owner of this restaurant replied and said they would correct the issue of burnt oil taste in the deep fried food. Since that time the last several times we’ve ate there the deep fried food has tasted like it should with no burnt oil taste. Everything has been freshly made. I’ve not experienced any further issues. Two thumbs up for getting that corrected. I can again look forward to eating there often. I upgraded my review from four stars to five.

8-11-25 Everything still good.

My fiance and myself stopped in and had a great meal. The food super hot, very delicious and affordable. The reason I had to make a review was not for the food it’s for the amazing young man working up front. His name is Tyler and he went above and for us with his excellent customer service as well as working drive thru and cleaning lobby. That task isn’t an easy one. He was so very polite. I see going far at anything he wishes to succeed at. Thanks again Captain D’s and especially Tyler!!!

I went to Captain D’s in Lexington, KY. I had the battered fish, shrimp, and fries and it tasted absolutely disgusting. The food was very bland. It wasn’t enjoyable at all. The customer service good.
