My daughter recommended this as her favorite pulled pork sandwich place, and boy, was she right. Since it was my first visit, I decided to go for a full rack of ribs, and boy, was I happy I did! The first third was enjoyed that evening, the second third the next day for lunch, and the last third, well, all I can say is it gave a new meeting to steak (ribs) and eggs for breakfast !!!

Greens to grays. Day into night. This brushstroke masterpiece. Describing my most recent Green Door on 8th adventure in fond food-centric prose. Lucky enough to dine with a dear friend. Perfection was to follow. In choice of seating, by the window. In service, by way of Tristan. In cuisine, by way of the culinary magic transcribed from menu bits to savory tasty gourmet bites. Ah, that kitchen magic. I've come to love this little tuckaway gem on the 'other' side of the tourist trail. A hole in the wall with a slice of history and a slice of... Fried Green Tomatoes. or Smoked Gouda or Key Lime Pie, if you will. THE most recent thing I've discovered that I love about Green Door, is sharing Green Door. With family. And friends. I've managed to convince more than a few it's worth the drive. From Lutz. South Tampa. And beyond. My tag line is 'You want to try something different, I have the place'. My goal is to sample all that Green Door has to offer. And delicious describes everything that I've had! Steaks, chicken, burgers, salads, Cajun, classics and more. And to share with all who accept my invite. No feast is complete without that loving grace. And Green Door on 8th is the place.

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

Stopped by this afternoon for lunch. We split the cajun shrimp appetizer. It was WAY to salty. Way. Ordered two waters. The water was poor quality. Taste like the lines were dirty. Moving on to the food. My partner ordered the fried shrimp poo boy with sweet potato fries. That was okay. I ordered the gator sausage special with red beans and rice. The gator sausage was undercooked and pink. The beans and rice were VERY blah. Not to mention they charged extra for that side calling it an upgrade. The service was overly nice and the prices were in my opinion too high for the quality food put out. We will not be back and do not recommend this place. read more

I use to eat there because of an employee that worked there until he was fired over a dumb thing like take orders from the bosses 6 yr old child if he didn't do it he got lectured and eventually got fired fir not doing so. Also when I did go to eat I was bothered every 5 minutes and could not enjoy a meal at all and the service is pretty slow. I did not give this review a one star because of what happened I gave it because of kids running the business, slow service, and being pestered every 5 minutes I have even seen them pester other patrons!! read more

There was a plentiful amount of pieces of crawfish within the soup. I truly loved the mix of flavors & would get it again. The 2 pieces of bread were nothing special. DH ordered the Muffuletta.
