Depending on the management team that's working the restaurant can be excellent. On some occasions, whoever was cooking needs improvement.

Great visit, all the employees are fast and friendly. You get a ton of food for the money, enjoyed it. Thanks

It's been many years since we ate at Captain D's, and after this it'll probably be many more before we do again. I ordered the 10 shrimp meal with fries and green beans, with a piece of spicy battered fish added on. Mama got the senior fish and shrimp plate with fries and corn on the cob. The fish was pretty much as I remembered it from back in the day, but the portions are a lot smaller than then. And the "spicy" just isn't. Fries were not good on either plate, and mamas corn was mush, like it had been sitting in a pan of water all day. The green beans were ok, nothing to write home about, as were the shrimp. Very unlikely that we'll be back, especially with Cedar River so much closer and better. read more

The family went to Captain Ds on Easter Sunday. Everyone was very happy with the food and the service. Thank you so much!

Had a craving for fried fish. Didn't have high expectations and it's a good thing. Asked a couple questions about the menu and two different employees tried to talk to me at the same time. One had no concept of what an inside voice was. The second employee was trying to explain some options and the other loudmouth employee began shouting hello to other customers and the cook was also shouting orders they were putting in the window. I couldn't hear the person trying to take my order over the other two people. Yet, they made me feel like there was nothing wrong with all their yelling and that I was the one with the problem. I see no reason why the cook had to shout "Order up!" every time they put a plate in the window when all the employees had to do was turn around and look to see if it was there. If I wanted to get yelled at, I'd go to Moes. I guess next time I want fish, I'll go to Cedar River. Maybe if they quit their yelling here they'd have less empty seats. read more

I love to come threw the drive thru because it's fast and always correct. Get my condiments when asked and love their sweet tea

This place has got its game back up not sure if they have new management or if the owner was just tired of all the complaints but on my recent visit, the staff was on point. A fast-food seafood restaurant when you walk in you go up to the counter to place our order. Regular sides include fries, slaw, or green beans. They also have premium sides that are baked potato or mac and cheese. They offer other sides but these are my go-to. once your food is ordered you get your number and your drink and sit. They bring the food to you so you get a combined feel of table service with fast food. On this visit, I was really impressed by the staff's friendliness and their quickness to serve. I was also impressed by how clean they kept the sitting area. My food was delivered quickly hot and fresh. Overall a really great experience and truly much better than in past visits. read more

Captain D's - a man and a woman standing in front of a counter with bags of food - Seafood Near Me - Starke, Florida

The staff at this location is on top of their game. The young woman who took our order was so friendly, helpful and professional. You really can't go wrong if you want a quick and tasty meal for under $5 (and you happen to be in Starke). Although they have tons of healthier options like grilled, seared, blackened and baked fish, I went for the $4.99 fried seafood platter with a loaded baked potato and broccoli. My mom had the same, but with salad instead of a potato. I absolutely love Captain D's hush puppies. They were hot and crispy - better than most other hush puppies at finer restaurants. And don't forget about their dipping sauces/condiment bar where you will find ketchup, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, spicy mayo, malt vinegar and more. The entrees we ordered were more than enough and we both ended up taking leftovers back home. My loaded baked potato definitely reheated well. FYI: If you want to go more healthy, order from their Captain's D-Lites Menu where all of those entrees are under 500 calories. The regular menu does include other healthier options like baked fish, rice, baked potatoes, broccoli and salads if you don't want to eat anything fried. Overall this was an excellent experience. The inside of the restaurant was clean, bright and cheery so it's actually very nice to eat-in. I haven't been to Captain D's in a couple of years so this was a treat. I would recommend this location. :) read more

Well... years later..... service is acceptable, but the food is horrible. Everything was over cooked, bottom of the fish was burnt, shrimp was dried out. read more

How to describe a captain D's to someone? Well, if they are from the east coast or ever eaten at Long John silvers, I would have no problem hitting the main questions someone might ask. However, I always assume that my reader has absolutely no knowledge of what to expect, and or I'm speaking to a small child; thus making my evaluation lengthy but " thorough". First imagine that a fast food restaurant is being held in Captain Jack Sparrow's man cave, and it's as loud as a Metallica Concert with nobody allowed away from the speaker. The food is as to be expected, everything is fried and covered in grease, so delicious. :) Now, the service is really the only factor that I truly examine, due to lunch and dinner rushes, football games, and believe it or not, the weather plays a huge role; almost as much as paydays. The service here was as fast as to be expected with the time of day, but everyone was smiling, highly impressed. read more

Clean facility, good food ( not fond of the Mac n cheese) but the customer service was amazing. So pleasant to deal with. Thank you so much. read more

Great food and service. Surprised that fast food did not taste like fast food. Went through drive through. Would recommend them.

Good food and excellent service. Only two women working on a Friday afternoon and they were moving customers through smooth and efficient.

We are fans of this Captain D's thanks to the always friendly and conscientious staff. The fish is our favorite and is always served up hot, crisp and fresh. Great for some post game snacking when on the road heading home. read more

"Must 'Sea' the new place" Located between McDonald's and Taco Bell on US301 (South Walnut St.), Captain D's has a new updated exterior and dining area look. From their "Grilled Meals" I had the Wild Alaskan Salmon with a good selection of veggies. A friendly staff, always helpful with any customer needs. read more

Captain D's - Super clean restroom - Seafood Near Me - Starke, Florida

First time I'd been here in like 20 years. We went through the drive through. Ordered 2 kids meals both popcorn shrimp, 1 adult meal of fried (white) fish, macaroni n cheese and an extra order of hush puppies (6). At the window we were met, not greeted, by a woman who was obviously very annoyed that we even existed. We waited about 10 mins for the food and god forbid we ever ask for melted butter, idk if they even offer it but don't ask her for it. The order was right, nothing missing and the food was actually ok. The hush puppies were my style but a little dry. Probably won't go back but wouldn't scream if I had to. read more

Don't despair & eat junk food if you would rather not. Cap'n D's has grilled options & when you order without salt & have the steamed broccoli add lemons they have on hand & you Win! Appreciated the clean tables & restrooms - nice folks there read more

Disappointed with our service tonight. Usually I love going here, but the last few times we've went, it was not up to par. The girl behind the counter seemed lost. She blatantly told us the only thing we could get to drink was root beer because all the other sodas "weren't right". The root beer tasted flat. I didn't catch her name, but I'd recognize her if I saw her again. read more

Stopped by for lunch yesterday. Service was good. I ordered the lemon pepper white fish. When I finally received my order the fish was so salty that it burned the inside of my mouth! The corn on the cob was grey and soggy. When I first ordered at the register, I commented that I did not like not being able to see what was rung up and she said that I can look at my receipt...ok...When I received my receipt it was illegible because the ink was low. I asked them to read the receipt to me but...damn...I am sure that I paid for 3 drinks instead of 2. I will never eat at this place again! The place was dirty too. aughhhhhhhhh. My recommendation...NOT read more

Drove by and saw the fish and shrimp meal $4.99 on the sign and had to turn back. It was soooo much better than I could've possibly expected. The fish was beautifully fried, shrimp was good, green beans, cole slaw and hush puppies were all awesome. I liked the bright color scheme in the restaurant. Service was good too! I just wish they would open one closer to home. This place is amazing, I want MOAR!!!!!! read more

The grilled white fish and skewered shrimp with sides was fantastic. Everything was fresh made. Everything was hot and ready to enjoy. Large piece of fish, healthy portions for the rice and sides. Helpful and friendly staff. So far, in our travels, definitely the best Captain D's Seafood in Florida. You must stop by and try their this place. read more
