So I have been a steady customer for years now but I will not be back after this time. Three weeks ago they shorted us a box of fish then the next time we didn’t get the shrimp and crabs and this week no vinegar and sauces!! Three strikes y’all out!!

This is the only location I have occasion to visit. And I visit frequently. At least once a week. The food is top notch. Maybe just a tad pricey, but it’s worth it. The service is very quick, efficient and typically courteous. Highly recommend!

Never have I ever not liked Captain D’s. Ever. One of my favorite places to eat. My shrimp wasn’t done. Didn’t get my green beans. It was terrible.

I went to Captain D’s on 23rd Street in Chattanooga Tennessee…. I usually don’t have that good of service at Captain D’s…. But this restaurant in particular was awesome the staff was so nice and friendly to me and another thing I like that they didn’t rush me at the menu everything was cooked to order especially my breadsticks so kudos to Captain D’s on 43rd Street in Chattanooga Tennessee

Last night at dinner hour doors were locked to Dine in. Drive thru service and line was multiple cars. I like the food but it definitely is not worth this long a wait. I also do not appreciate being forced to wait in a drive thru line.

Worst experience ever! I love Captain D’s and eat here often. They were out of a lot foods and sauces. The new manager, Lawrence was not accomodating and unwilling to help me with a coupon issue. He would not even apply a manager credit to my order. I told him I would call corporate, he said to me, “Ok that’s fine my name is Lawrence…the line is backed up. Did you want the food or not? “. He treated me like a bother instead of a customer he needed to please. I took the food and got home only to discover my baked fish was partially raw and my tartar sauce that I had to beg for was all over my boxes. I am completely shocked by this experience! I have been eating here for almost 20 years and this was my first job!I can truly say, there was never this kind of service under the direction of former manager, Terry. I hope that Captain D’s gets back to normal.
