    Dried out Red Beans & Rice - Bowl
    Mandi W.

    I stopped here on the way home from a funeral. Sadly I tried to like this place because of all the great reviews. I know they're short staffed here, which is why I gave it more than 2 stars. I got the Red Beans and Rice and it was so dry it tasted like refried beans and sticky rice. My son ordered a grouper sandwich, and it was dry and they're supposed to be known for their fish. My daughter ordered gator bites with mashed potatoes and her gator bites were so small and tough, she didn't even finish the plate and it was $16.99 or something like that for it. Such a shame, because I know they're supposedly decent, but it just wasn't good.

    Great homey atmosphere and super friendly staff. The food was really good but haven't tried the gumbo yet because I'm full.

    Nachos!!!  Try them!!

    You have got to eat here!!! If you don't, you will be missing out! This wonderful restaurant is worth the detour from ... wherever you are, really. We were traveling on I-75, and we are so glad we took the 5 minute detour. We arrived around 1100 on a Sunday, and waited about 15 minutes. Walking to our table, we passed patrons who were devouring biscuits and gravy, eggs, and chicken. It all looked so good!! We received both breakfast and lunch menus. Both menus were a mix of traditional American food and Louisiana Cajun food. (Keep in mind Cajun is very flavorful, and not necessarily spicy). It was so difficult to decide what to eat, because everything sounded so good!! I will be back to try something else. :) I was interested in the Nachos. And they were delicious!!! The base of these nachos were an extremely flavorful Cajun type potato chip. They were loaded with cheese, shredded roast beef, mushrooms, onion, green peppers, banana peppers, and covered in their beautiful Debris Gravy. I was surprised at how much meat there was! It had to be close to a pound. The gravy is the most flavorful thing I've ever tasted. My Dining Partner got a HUGE salad with a fried chicken breast. Their homemade Ranch dressing was incredible. The chicken was extremely moist and the breading was crunchy. She loved the freshness of the salad, and all of the vegetables that came as part of it. We also got a side of Fries with Debris Gravy, and she, too, was overwhelmed with how good the gravy was. If you are in the area, meaning within 60 miles, you should not miss out!! I wish everyone would be able to taste this menu!! It is sooooo good!!! Please, do yourself a favor, and eat here. IT IS WORTH IT!!! You can thank me later!!! :)

    Shrimp & grits my favorite!

    By far my favorite hometown family run cafe. The Florida Cracker meets with the Louisiana Gumbo, Boudin, Jambalaya, Andouille, Po' boy, Beignets and so much more. Freshly cooked daily by the Rogers family. Breakfast & Lunches that are plentiful, fresh, hot and always consistent. Don't be in a rush, there are times you have to wait for a table either inside or out on the covered patio with fans.

    I am so happy that I found this place. Talk about a diamond in the rough or finding the needle in the haystack! I so love Yelp for amazing finds such as this one. From the moment I walked in I knew I was going to love this family, local restaurant. I could feel the love and joy emanating from the kitchen. Everyone had a story, they all knew each other just awesome. So I sit down and everything on the menu sounds so tasty. I asked the waitress to surprise me and get me something. She did great. She got me the Gator quesadilla with onion rings. Can I just say "wow" from every bite I took. The Roumalade sauce and the Cajun spices where on point. It had just enough cajon with southern flare that my taste buds where dancing with joy but not running because of the heat. The gator tasted outstanding and the mix of the boudin with cheese like come on was it good. I also took to go a gator and shrimp PO boy to my pastor and he eat the entire thing and said that's the best poboy I've had. I'm telling you it was all extremely satisfying.

    Saw this place on the map while looking for brunch on the way out of Tampa and so glad we stopped here! We were seated outside which was slightly enclosed with heaters to keep it warm but the wind still made it a bit chilly so bring layers. The menu was almost overwhelming with the number of options, all of which looked delicious. We ended up with a burger and the dirty bird with rice and gravy. We were both very happy with our orders and the prices were very reasonable. For dessert, we split a slice of the wrec pie which might have been the best part of the meal (other than the dirty bird fried chicken). Service was a bit slow and there is only one bathroom for everyone so there was a lot of waiting around but other than that, we left very happy.

    This place is awesome. Can't wait to come back. The food is great and the service is even better!

    Great! Great! Great! Do yourself a favor and come on down. The service by itself is worth more than they charge. The food is amazing. The smell of the place makes my mouth water!

    I tried the chicken smothered in cheese, onions, mushrooms and their dirty gravy - so tender and delish!

I haven't dined at a Captain D's restaurant in more than 15 years, and I didn't know Captain D's restaurant chain was still open and operating. Although the building is old, it is well kept and the inside dining room was very clean. The service was prompt, fast and friendly. I ordered the 8 Piece Crispy Crunchy Shrimp & 2 Piece Fish (batter dipped filets) Meal served with hushpuppies, fires, and coleslaw. The portions are very generous, everything was hot, and cooked fresh. The white fish was very good, perfectly cooked, fried to a light crispy golden brown, with a tender, flaky inside texture. The batter did not overpower the flavor of the fish. The coleslaw was ok and paired well with the fish. The shrimps, which are also served with sweet and sour sauce for dipping, were mostly breading, bland, had no seasoning and lacked flavor, but it was what I was expecting from a chain restaurant serving previously frozen pre breaded (not fresh) and fried crispy shrimp. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience at Captain D's and the food was good. Worth a return trip for the fish. Captain D's | Wednesday 03-11-26 13016 US Highway 301 | Dade City, FL 33525
