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.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable dinner at the Franklin Captain D’s today. To start with, the young man who took our order, Austin, was very courteous and helpful. We think he may have been relatively new, but we really appreciated his great attitude, which seems more the exception than the rule these days. The food was fresh, delicious, and ready quickly. The dining area was clean and bright. The background music was set at a pleasant level so we were able to enjoy some conversation at normal speaking level.

I’ve recently started going here to eat, a lot more often. It’s gotten a lot better! The food seems to be cooked to order and fresh. I’ve been very pleased and the help is great! I like the different sides, healthier options and a good value for fast food and quality of food! Two days ago, I did order the spicy fish sandwich combo to go, and it wasn’t spicy. I’ll try it next time and check my order before I leave.

No complaints here! We visit Franklin often and decided to stop in for lunch. Restaurant was clean! We had seafood platters with fish, shrimp & deviled crab. Food was hot & not greasy. The fried okra was cooked perfect too!! Would stop in again if in town.

I came to Captain D’s here in Franklin North Carolina after exiting Winding Stair Gap from the Appalachian Trail. This was my next town to resupply. After being on the trail for over 2 weeks this was the spot that I knew I needed to stop. I stopped outside on the curb and I looked at their reviews online. After seeing it was a 4.2 star rating I went inside and took my chance. I can say this is the best Captain D’s that I’ve ever been to. The store on the outside is immaculate but not in the best spot off the highway. The bathrooms were very clean, the service was outstanding at the counter, and the food is absolutely spectacular. Any day of the week I would love to come here and eat. The dining room is very clean, from what I could see the kitchen and the people are very clean, the food was amazing and the overall staff are very knowledgeable. If you haven’t eaten here yet you absolutely need to.

We went with friends for dinner because we enjoy D’s. Senior specials are great on Wednesday and Sunday for a deal. It also includes your drink also. ( see my menu pic) I added a 1/2 order of clams for $2.99 and tasted good. Food came out hot and fish was fresh. Covid precautions were in place and tables being cleaned was nice. My only dislike is the condiment packages that we have to use during the Covid times

It’s not great seafood, but it doesn’t cost as much as great seafood. It’s a nice change every now and again. But honestly we go there for the lobster rolls. Love the staff, they are always nice and helpful.

I’ve always liked Captain D’s food and this particular one is above average. The lady taking our order was nice and patient and it didn’t take long to get our food.

We went through the drive thru. The food was fresh and hot, but the corn on the cobb was disgusting. It was very overdone and mushy.

I ate dinner on three occasions while I was visiting the area and very good food service in the atmosphere was great. This place is better than Red lobster at a fraction of the price
