Sadly this place was a complete miss for me. Let's start with the customer service. The guy who answered the phone sounded rather like he didn't want to be there. When I told him my name for my order (even spelt it) he spelt it completely wrong. Like nowhere near my name at all. Not even the first letter. When I was asking questions about the menu, he was kinda just rude. The food wasn't good at all. The chicken (whole wings) was over cooked and had no flavor. The catfish was cooked perfectly, but not flavor. You also do not get bread with your meal. I asked about the fries if they are just regular fries or the ones that are kinda battered. I was told regularly fries. They weren't, they were the ones battered like. All this is sad because the prices are very good. If they can fix their customer service and the quality of the food, I would totally give them another shot. read more

Food is amazing. Customer service is horrible. It's like they've hired their kids that don't wanna work. I gotta find a new place. The service is that bad. read more

Great food order there all the time. Have been nothing but happy with every experience. I'm about yo order again right now.

Okay...WHAT?! I truly thought nothing of this place before trying it for the first time, but everything was SO GOOD and SO ADDICTING that I can't stop thinking about it?? I just wish there was one located closer to me! I got the shrimp combo and some extra strips of fried orange roughy as well. The combo came with sides and I got mac and cheese and garlic bread, and then I added on some corn bread as well. It also came with a drink of my choice and The Captain's Table has all these premade drinks that looked delicious. I got the BLUE one (I don't even remember the name of it), but it was essentially blue raspberry, which is like my favorite flavor, AND IT WAS SO DELICIOUS! It unexpectedly, but also maybe expectedly paired so well with the savory nature of the food and it was absolutely delightful! All the seafood was SO GOOD! The breading was to die for and all the flavors were just popping off on my tongue! The garlic bread and corn bread did not even make it home, I demolished both in the car on my drive back because everything just smelled so delicious! I don't have a single bad thing to say about the food here and I've been trying to get back ever since to place another order, but it's a bit out of the way for me in ways that I never stop by there, so it's been hard. But not for lack of trying okay!!!! The Captain's Table is absolutely delicious and I'm addicted! Everyone try this place already because if you're not, you're sleeping on it! read more

Ordered the 2 piece catfish (7.99) w side and drink (+3.00). Ended up being plus $4, as I asked for small okra. Their soda machine was not working and they offered me either a can of coke or sprite, no diet. I need diet as I am diabetic. I took the can of coke home and had water w my meal The catfish was thin, kind of over cooked and the breading was way too salty. The okra were just ok. Won't be returning, as we have a lot of other choices for this type of food. read more

The captains table was the greatest restaurant two years ago. The batter they use for their chicken was always very light and gold. Very crispy. Now every time we order the coating is always very dark filled with old oil taste. I don't know if you guys change your grease very often, but you should.... They have remodel this location like five times so don't have anything bad to say about the inside. read more

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! I opted for the catfish combo with mac n' cheese. I also got a side of collard greens with corn bread! (Do yourself a dove and be sure to order at least two pieces of cornbread). The restaurant itself was small and quant and location at a busy intersection is not ideal, but I will def be heading back here real soon! Food is 10/10! When it comes to the catfish, most people prefer hot sauce over that other stiff, right? @YelpDetroit @TheCaptainsTable read more

Great place to get some hood chicken, especially if you're feeding a lot of folks unlimited budget and you don't wanna cook it yourself

Eating here for the first time was a great & tasteful experience . The service was also very professional, kind, & inviting . I would certainly return with others so that they can experience the great customer service , food, clean rest room, clean dinning area and be greeted with the beautiful smile of Ayusha, who will take your orders. You will be happy with the service and the food that's prepared by a professional cook. HalleluYah . Good food ! read more

This place has surprisingly good food in that the flavors are just different and very good in comparison to other restaurants with similar food. I was very satisfied and I will go back! read more

I ordered 200 wing "parts", I call them wing "dings" for a small gathering. They were not ready when promised (30 mins late). The guy working the front proceeded to maniacally yell at the kitchen staff "Why aren't these ready?!?!?!" They were hot. So hot, I had to ask the cook to carry them out to my truck. When I got them home the first thing I noticed was how tiny! They were like cicada wings!!!!! Two bite babies!!!! Then I and tasted,.... they were so bland and chewy! They tasted old! I had to scramble to fix, the show must go on after all, I got people comin in 15 minutes. I tossed them in some BW's garlic parm and Asian Zing sauces. I was referred to this place by Yelpers. Maybe they had a bad day. Sometimes Yelp gets it wrong. FYI, they charge $60 for 100 wing dinglettes. Sorry no pic. Was too busy trying to rectify the situation that day. read more

THIS REHEATED!!#PERFECT We ordered food for Christmas Eve brunch and it was delicious (see previous review). We had so much fish. I froze the fillets. The fish in the picture is fresh out my air fryer and tastes as good as it did the day we bought it!! Would definitely recommend The Captains Table!! read more

The Captain's Table - This is reheated!! I just had to come back and leave a follow up review!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

The Captain's Table - Love those Wings Cut Combo and pudding. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

Super friendly service. Good cod. Would have loved Cole slaw as a side. M&C was okay, but not dreamy.

It was my first time tasting the captains food. I had the fried catfish and fried corn. I was a bit rocky choosing the side. So the cashier suggested the fried corn. I had never had fried corn before. To be honest the regular stuff is better. Although I would say it was a new experience. The fish was absolutely done to a tee. I liked the crisp level of the outside. It wasn't oily at all. And the fish tasted like a quality catch. I really suggest this spot for a quick bite to eat. read more

Meh. I had such high hopes for this place based on reviews. I ordered fried chicken legs and thighs, collard greens, corn on the cob, okra and fried jumbo shrimp. The chicken was just okay. Nothing to write home about. It tasted like the frying oil wasn't fresh. The corn was on the cob, lightly dusted and fried I think or maybe baked which I do like that style of corn but it was chewy, dry and had no flavor at all. The shrimp was ultra salty and not enjoyable, which is sad because the crispy light texture of the breading was oh so promising. The okra was fried and just okay. I think it was just frozen okra that you get from any restaurant supply store. The collards? Well I would have loved to try them but unfortunately they didn't put them in with my order. I can't go back and won't. I'm certain there is a market for this place but clearly I am not the target customer. read more

I have ordered from here multiple times and have been pretty satisfied. Not tonight. I ordered 5 whole songs, no seasoning. I arrived , the wings i got were cold to the touch. The lady at the front counter tried to argue with me that they were just taken out the grease. We go back and forth. They're fresh/ they're cold... they just fried them... they're room temperature. I'm literally touching them and they're room temp. She reached her hand inside the box and touched them and had the * oh shit* look on her face. She takes my order in the back and says they'll remake them. Ok, now I'm like ... it's about 30 mins to close... do i want them remaking my food? I was ok until someone yelled from the back to "H". She went back there... came to me and said " they are going to remake your food but the cook wants you to know that your food is going to be very greasy because they don't have time to drain your wings after they fry them." W... T... F? You must be out of your mind? You just walked out from behind the swinging door to tell me that someone plans on slinging some wings into a box that I'm supposed to drive home that are going to be extra greasy? For these businesses to be so worried about surviving the pandemic, they damn sure are not treating their customers like they give a damn.uhhhh no... i don't want some greasy mess to take home. Also, how do I know that the wings that I had weren't the ones that are going to be "really greasy when they come out of the grease?" The original wings that I got, not only were they not hot, they also sort of looked like dark. Not the breading that they put on them but the actual wings, like they have been sitting around for hours. What a piss poor way to treat customers. Perception, is everything. read more

Wait time is ridiculous. You receive an update indicating your order is ready, and that's a COMPLETE LIE!!!!! Still have to wait for mediocre food. Gave this place multiple chances and it's the same results each time. read more

Always a nice little place to eat, when you want quick but not fast! Good seafood and friendly people that work there. Lately they've been a little slow so call ahead, and if they say 15min, give em 30! read more

I've only ordered online, but the food I received reminded me of home. So far I've only had the catfish, hush puppies and fried okra. I'm originally from the Appalachian mountains and this place truly delivers a flavor from home. Looking forward to my next order from here. read more

The need to close. Serving stale bread in a sandwich and thinking that is acceptable is not okay. I would never eat here ever again. DO NOT TRUST THE FOOD QUALITY. read more

This place is pretty good. I order the 10-piece wings and 5-piece jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was 5/5 amazing! The shrimps are definitely jumbo and delicious. The wings are pretty good as well but they are quite small. The wings are very crunchy. If you want to try their sauces it will be an additional charge. I give the wings 4/5 just because it is a little small. The overall cost is average. read more

The Captain's Table - Jumbo shrimp + wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

I have driven past on numerous occasions. After reading reviews, and seeing they were voted Detroit's Best in 2019, I knew I had to stop in. Now what to try for a first time? Well how about catfish, perch, cod, jumbo shrimp, hush puppies and mac and cheese. It all did sound good to us! Staff is very kind and upbeat. The area very clean and well maintained. There is a very small dining area with a couple tables. I was a little afraid I would not like the tarter sauce as it is served in those small little packages you have to rip open individually. The tarter sauce is delish. Now onto the fish. I am not a catfish person. I would rather perch or cod. It The Captain's Table has changed my mind. I love catfish. The shrimp is solid and fresh! I will be back!! You really must try. read more

This was our first time here, but it won't be the last. I tried the grilled chicken caesar salad and my wife tried the chicken tenders - half in buffalo sauce, the other half in garlic parmesan sauce. My salad was really good and the caesar dressing tasted great. My wife enjoyed both sauces - and the chicken tenders were cooked perfectly. While we waited for our food, the owner brought out a wing ding to try with their honey garlic sauce - that sauce tasted amazing! We will get more of those next time we come in. The inside seating area has two TV's and several seats in front of the window overlooking Telegraph. read more

UPDATE! I came back to this location after two years for lunch for my coworkers and I. Lest time all our food was cold, the owner messaged me back promptly and offered to remake my meal but I ignored it. Yesterday and today we decided to grab some fish/chicken. A 100% 180 of food taste, quality, freshness, and readiness. Our food was so hot that I took one bite out of the fish and had to open mouth breathe while chewing to cook it down. SEASONED PERFECTLY! The person who helped me was Malek, he was super friendly, very cool as I'm not fake customer service voice, and it was very clean inside of the restaurant. We will be back weekly to eat at this establishment. read more

Always good food and desserts. Loved the catfish nuggets. Chicken wings and fries are good too.

Decided to order since they were offering free delivery! I ordered two of the 3 piece cod meals with fries and drinks. The sweet tea wasn't too sweet but not bland. The batter on the fish was fluffy and a good texture with the cod. Needed to pop in the air fryer tho, unfortunately there was only paper in the bottom but nothing to absorb the moisture. Same went for the fries and okra. But once heated was delicious and back to original crispness. The Mac and cheese was rich, creamy and the right amount of seasonings. Looking forward to trying other things here! read more

Blah. I used to really like this place a year ago, I thought they had delicious food. Well went there today and the lady forgot my coleslaw so my meal was ruined when I got home. I should have checked my bag more thoroughly so I blame myself partially for this. I had the 10 piece shrimp with fries. Shrimp were under-cooked, so were the fries, they had that soggy greasy taste, not crunchy and fresh. I won't be back here for a while. The pop I ordered was flat with hardly any ice. I'll give it one more try in the future before checking them off my list of places on where NOT to eat. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem. The menu is small, but every item is a winner. Ordered the 3-piece chicken tender lunch menu and the 5-piece jumbo shrimp side. Glorious, crispy batter on the shrimp--I couldn't even leave the tail pieces behind. I almost don't want to tell people how good it is because I don't want to start a stampede. read more

Still obsessed with their Jumbo Shrimp. I can't get it out of my head and I don't care that this place is a 30-40min drive - I will always keep coming back. Giant pieces of shrimp beer battered with this blend of seasonings that I still can't figure out. A little hot sauce on it and it's incredible. Plus, the service is pretty good, too...depending on who's working. Either way, I am hooked! read more

Favourite of our family with both fry breading and batter depending on the fish. Love the seasoning for the hush puppies and okra. We always order ahead and get takeout, fresh and ready when we arrive. read more

Food reminded me of something you get when in New Orleans. Lot of soul food type items. Almost everything is fried,even the corn! So if you don't like fried food, this is not your place! We liked it and had gotten some great recommendations from Ahmed, who was very patient and sweet. Would recommend for anyone who likes soul and/or fried food! read more

I'm a southern girl who just moved to Michigan 1.5 years ago. I love catfish and okra - and I have high standards for it. When my husband said he wanted us to try this place, I rolled my eyes and assumed it would be another hole-in-the-wall with mediocre food. I was wrong. This place is in the top three of the best fried catfish I've ever had (and my ex-husband is from a family of fish-frying Cajuns off the coast of Louisiana!) The okra, corn on the cob, and hush puppies were incredible. We have a new fish place!! It is very difficult to meet my expectations when it comes to food like this - and they surpassed every one of mine!! You have to try this place! read more

Awesome food with a good variety! Highly recommend the chicken Alfredo, it's my go-to. I've also tried the catfish, which is good & seasoned well. Service is always fast & friendly! read more

I used to love this place, but recently the food has gone down hill and been disappointing more times than not. It seems that maybe they changed owners or something because the food has completely changed. read more

Really good chicken. Kinda heavy on the salt however the seasoning is great nonetheless. Really nice size pieces really nice prices.

Went here for the first time and got the catfish meal with fries best catfish I had in a while. Very fresh perfectly seasoned and fresh. Even after I reheated it still had the same taste would definitely recommend. Way better than caption Js. Definitely going back to try the Alfredo and fish sandwich read more

I've actually ordered from this place a couple times. Up until the most recent time, it was pretty decent. My workplace is FULL of Foodies, so we're always telling each other what places to go to and which ones to avoid. The last order was the biggest: 10 shrimp half butterfly half jumbo, small fries, small okra, order of puppies... they DID NOT DEVEIN MY SHRIMP!! How EFFING gross. Imagine taking a bite out of a huge crispy shrimp, and pulling back to see a huge chunky black vein waving and snickering at you... gross gross gross. Very disappointed. read more

This place reminds me of home, New Orleans. The food is delicious and well seasoned. Will definitely be back!
