Cheeseburger and potato salad
Jason R.

So I saw the ratings but we just wanted something easy before going back to the hotel. It's clean, and staff were friendly. The fish are cool and the place is well lit. The food is what you'd get in a nice retirement home. Perfectly servicable but almost without flavor. We had burgers and an order of wings. All of our was cooked as ordered. It's frustrating to downgrade a place that could have been better if they figured out how to season their food.

Well that's a good start! Let's see!

Greeter/Host was very kind and friendly. The waitress seemed she couldn't care less but wasn't rude just not personable. The food was mediocre. We had chicken hibachi, shrimp jammers, Southwestern egg rolls (great consistency and portion size however the ranch was bland and salty and the contents of the egg rolls weren't seasoned) and had salted caramel crunch cake. The cake was very dense and didn't not give salted caramel. The shrimp jammers were cooked too hard and all of the sauces were salty (should've been cooked 30-45 seconds less and paired and sweet and spicy Asian sauce. The hibachi was salty (the teriyaki was very salty). I did not have anything that makes me want to return. Very spacious and had indoor and outdoor seating. Booth seating and table seating. The foyer floor was not swept. The restaurant however did have an A on the door.

Fried shrimp and baked potato
Kimberly T.

We have been here several times over the years. Always have great service. Staff are polite and quick to get what you request. I have had the chicken Alfredo in the past and was not impressed. I had the grilled chicken breast with a side salad and sweet potato tonight and loved it! My husband had the fried shrimp with baked potato and side salad, which he really enjoyed. We will continue to come back.

Mushroom and Swiss burger well done perfectly made and seasoned!!  to the chef!
Joseph D.

The food was really good and so was the service! I got the mushroom and Swiss burger well done which came out absolutely perfect and well seasoned with fresh crunchy French fries and my friend got the salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans which she gave a 10/10 we got there after 9 and they close at 10 and they were very accommodating and didn't rush us out! The restaurant was well lit like i like it not overly bright but not too dim either with a beautiful koi pond out front! Definitely recommend if traveling i95 or in the area!

Excess grease from the fried okra
Felicia B.

This is one is few decent non-chain and fast food restaurants in Walterboro. It can be hit or miss, especially, depending on what you order.The most recent visit I ordered the smoky chicken lunch special. That was the smaller chicken breast I've seen before. The menu describes it as a grilled chicken breast topped with smoky barbecue sauce, cheese, & bacon. Look at the picture I've posted of the slice of American cheese not fully melted topped with bacon bits. SMH. No bueno. It was not what I was expecting and it was overcooked. I would not order it again. The fried okra and the green beans could've used a little extra seasoning. The fried okra had so much grease in it I had indigestion for 2 days! My husband said the chopped steak is good. I may have to try that next time. I did mention they're one of few non-chain and fast food restaurants, right? There aren't many options in this small town to choose from. We came at the tail end of a typical lunch hour and arrived ~1:30 pm. It was not crowded, yet service was slow to be greeted, receive water refills, & the check. The ambience is casual. They have a small bar. The restrooms have been clean when I've visited. The staff are generally friendly. If you visit, I hope you have a hit experience, and not a miss.

Turkey burger. I added Swiss cheese. Juicy! The pretzel bun was an added plus.
Patti C.

A better option than fast food along I- 95. Convenient to get to and have both inside and outside seating (dog friendly). Usual Diner menu options with a daily plate special. Turkey burger was a nice option. Fries were fresh and crispy. Will keep it on our stop list for future road trips. Friendly staff. Gas and shopping nearby as well.

Recently did lunch with 2 other couples was told they have a great lunch special, for the price it was a very good special. The teriyaki chicken , red rice and fried okra were excellent and my wife's fish,baked potato, fried okra and cornbread was definitely a lot for a lunch special. Service was great and the atmosphere is always lively. All in all I would go back during the lunch hour.

We were looking for a local place for a bite on our road trip north. This is a sit down restaurant. They are known for their chicken. We got the fried pickle chips (excellent). We had the chicken salad sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Both were very tasty. It was pretty busy and the staff was really friendly but the service was a bit slow. You are not getting a quick bite here. It was nice not to eat at a chain restaurant.

Sautéed flounder, hush puppies, green beans
NinaandPoppy H.

Great local find in Walterboro & with an extensive menu and full bar! They have a terrific selection of seafood consisting of scallops, shrimp, flounder that can be fried or broiled. We opted for broiled scallops and an order of broiled flounder - both seasoned to perfection ( flavorful but not salty). Salads, slaw sweet potato fries & salad and green beans were on point! Our server Cara was sweet and informative! She delivered prompt precise service with a smile. We were among the last customers on a Wednesday night however they didn't rush us and made us feel welcomed. The internet said open till 10 pm the other said 9:30... technically it was 9pm. The server explained occasionally the times may change, we were glad we arrived prior to closing and enjoyed our meal immensely.

On our drive back to Florida after a grea visit with the folks we always like to find some thing different and local to stop at for lunch. Came across this place and it was well reviewed and liked so here we are! Place was very busy so you know it has to be good. We started to wait for a table but that was looking like a bit of a wait so we grabbed an open high top in the bar. Lots of home style items on the menu. Hard to choose. Best deal was the meat and two. For me it was the Teriyaki chicken with broccoli casserole and rice and gravy. Tender chicken and very good gravy and sides. Best hush puppies!! Deb got the Pot roast and gravy. Delicious. Awesome flavors. Green beans and mashed potatoes. All good! Solid spot for food with great southern hospitality and really good home cooking!

Brianne J.

Delicious!!! Really enjoyed the sauce and the food was great.. definately getting our moneys worth in the portion size.. service was very nice and they even gave the kids food to feed the koi fish which made their night!! This was a great little break on our drive to Florida.. very spacious and not very noisy so you could have family conversations.. clean place with great food!

Chicken Tender starter
Vincent H.

Our waitress was Ms. Shaniqua and the service was excellent. I didn't have to ask for anything. She anticipated my needs and was extremely polite. It being earlier in the afternoon, maybe about 3 the ambience was relaxed with not too many people. Beautiful artwork on the walls. The chicken tenders were well seasoned and tasted amazing. The loaded fries were excellent as well. The red rice tasted amazing. The ribs were so good and I took half a rack home. All in all an amazing experience.

Just tried the Captain D's in walterboro for the first time. And we will be returning here…read moreregularly. The restaurant was clean and organized. The restroom was extremely clean. The staff was efficient and friendly. Food was delicious.and very reasonable and we could eat those lobster bites all day long.

Another first for us. We were driving back home, thinking we could make it from Florida to…read moreBaltimore in one day, but needed dinner. We've never tried Captain D's but Jeremy really enjoys fried fish. This seemed like something he could eat while driving, but alas they were out of fried fish, and about half of their menu including condiments such as ketchup and cocktail sauce. Nevertheless we were able to cobble together two meals, and neither of us had any complaints. Jeremy had fried shrimp and popcorn shrimp with hush puppies (I love how many restaurants in the south have these on their menu. These were perfect, if not a tiny bit too salty). I had chicken tenders (they actually had honey mustard dipping sauce, which is my preferred sauce when it comes to chicken) and some amazing cole slaw (not mushy). Even though we couldn't have several of our first choices (out of jalapeno poppers), what we did eat was crispy and delicious. I wouldn't mind trying Captain D's again, sometime in the future, when we're on yet another epic adventure. Sorry no pics. It was difficult to juggle the clambox containers on my lap in a moving vehicle.
