    Lobster shrimp fish combo
    James S.

    Ate here for lunch around 1pm. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The employees were extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Food is brought to your table. I ordered the lobster bites, shrimp and fish combo. Price was very fair for portions. All the seafood was cooked well and fresh. The fries were not very hot and somewhat chewy as if a little old? Overall nice experience and I will return.

    1st time trying Captain D's. Been living in Richmond 14 years and had to see what the hype was about. I had 2 pieces of fried fish (one spicy and one regular) w/ fried shrimp and 2 sides and some hush puppies too. The fried fish was piping hot and crispy. I recommend eating inside or in the car after the drive-thru unless you live close. To my surprise, they offer several different side items. I got a loaded baked potato and green beans to balance things out. Service was friendly and quick at this location. Looking forward to trying more of their menu items in the future.

    I recently ordered a Catfish dinner from this restaurant. I understand that we are living in trying times, and everyone is battling COVID and other life challenges. But to order dinner and pay over $10 for2 whole pieces of catfish fillet and receive what looks like catfish nuggets is ridiculous. Sadly, I used Door Dash and wouldn't have accepted this meal. I will never purchase food from this place again.

    Utilized the drive through. There was a bit of a line but I was impressed to see it was moving along pretty well. From time of order until we received it was only a few minutes. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was hot despite my 15 minute drive back home. I am genuinely impressed with this location. More often than not fast food restaurants are really bad but this Captain D's should be the standard. Good and fast food, delivered correctly and efficiently. Thank you!

    Yummmm

    Classic Giant Fish Is A Large Sandwich But Seasoning Is Just Ok...Plus, The Spicy Version Isn't Really Spicy At All To Me.

We had about a 20 min wait. There is also indoor and outdoor seating along with bar seating. We had a good waitress and we had good service. All of us had a different beer. There is a small beer menu but with a good variety. I had a red ale and an orange wheat. We all had different sandwiches as well. I had the riverside burger and it was really good. It is a small place overall but has a community/local feel to it. It is a little out of the way for us but I would go back again if in that area.

The patio is covered and has 2 heaters. We walked into the bar and the bartender directed us outside where our server came out and got us waters. She helped us turn the heaters on and got us settled as we waited for the rest of our family to arrive. For apps, we ordered the Fried Oysters and the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce. The chicken tenders came with fries as well. The oysters were good, nice and crispy. The tenders were also delicious, especially with the BBQ sauce. The fries, while they looked crispy, were just a tad soggy for my taste. For our entrees, I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and my husband ordered the cubano. Our family ordered salads with salmon. Everything looked delicious and was fairly quick to come out. My sandwich came with ranch and it definitely helped tone down the saltiness of the Fried chicken. Just eating the chicken alone was too salty and I had asked for my fries extra crispy which were amazing. The cubano sandwich was good and well made and the side of Brussels my husband got were also crispy. The salads and the salmon looked good, definitely cooked well. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The person who helped bring out our drinks also ended up bringing out some bacon for our dog and was so kind. The patio is dog friendly but I would recommend brining a towel or mat for your pup to lay on. Overall, great service and good food!

Several servers came over right away to ask our drink orders and give us menus. My husband ordered the country fried steak with gravy and eggs, and I got the chicken and waffles and a side of grits. Everything was very tasty. This might seem like a small thing, but the iced tea was fresh brewed and very good. I cannot stand iced tea that comes out of a machine or that is powdered. This was clearly fresh and they served it in big mason jars. This is one of my key things with a restaurant. If they don't have freshly brewed tea, I really don't enjoy my meal as much. I was thankful that this place had great tea. The server checked on us throughout the meal. We would definitely go back again.

The hours online are not accurate (give them a call) so we technically got there when they were preparing to close for the day but the super sweet waitress went to check if they could still accommodate our to go order and they did! So I got two (one for my mama) liver and onion meals (5/5 very tender) both with mashed potatoes (2.9/5, gave box) one with cabbage (4/5) and the other with green beans (3.9/5). Mimi ordered the fried pork chop (4.5/5, thin cut but seasoned and fried well)meal with mashed potatoes (2.9/5) and collard greens (a bit dry...leave the "pot liquor" thats where the flavor resides, lol). The family vibes all through out the venue made us feel welcomed and the love shown to the staff by the patrons sealed the deal! If you want a good home cooked meal head over #southerntastediner!

The staff were polite, but we had to ask several times to get items we were missing or things we wanted extras of. They checked in on us a fair number of times, but they still forgot to return to give us what we had asked for. By the time we were ready to leave, we still haven't gotten our dressings or our condiments. I also had asked for my burger to be well done, but I got a burger with quite a bit of pink in it. I didn't want to ask for it to be placed back on the grill because I didn't really want to wait longer for my food. Although I wanted my burger to be well done and I didn't get it that way, it was still pretty good. The fries though, I think was the best part of it. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crunchy! I also ordered a coke. Just a heads up, they don't do free refills on the sodas, so each cup is $4. My party also ordered salmon l'orange and a romano salad with salmon. My friends really enjoyed their main dishes, but we did ask for extra dressing. The restaurant is decorated in a boho-style vibe, and it was cute. We found the lighting on the side dining area to be a little bit too dim once the sun went down, but I do think it would've been perfect for a date night vibe. Overall, we had an okay experience.

This used to be a place where you'd have to wait for a table every time, but now the restaurant is half empty and I see why! When I was ordering my food our server was slightly rude & I was taken aback (but you never want someone to spit in your food so I ignored it lol). As I was ordering my food she repeated my wing order to me as she was typing it in, but she did not acknowledge the fact that I asked for all flats so I said all flats again & her response was an "I heard" under her breath which others at my table noticed the rudeness associated with it as well. The wings visibly looked different but fine, however once I started moving them around, I noticed they were dry & chewy like they were over-fried, but normally when I get them they are moist with a slight char from being grilled even tough they are dry rubbed. The loaded baked potato I was a shock to me..a lot more cheese than potato and it was cold. I'm simply very unsatisfied. I took my food home with me & ended up just throwing it all away. They've still got the best blue cheese though, hope that doesn't change! I've got lots of points to use so I'm going to just try a different location & pray. My two times at Short Pump have been better than the last six-eight months at Midlo.
