Captain D's Quality of fish and incomplete order made on april 11, 2022, for $21.45

My wife and I placed an online order for a two-fish and - three fish dinner. We drove about 5 miles to the Captain D's in Dahlonega, Georgia, to pick up the order.

We noticed two things when we got home and looked at our order:

1. The three piece dinner on had two pieces of fish.

2. More importantly, the fish was not the standard batter dipped fish that we usually receive. It wasn't crispy at all.

I called the store that night and spoke with a manager who did acknowledge that the wrong fish was delivered/received from their supplier. She could only take my word that 1 piece of fish was missing.

Her only recompence was to allow me to return for one piece of fish.

I found this totally unacceptable. The fish was "yucky" and the one piece later on did not make up for our ruined dinner.

Desired outcome: At a minimum I would like two free fish dinners.

Captain D's Curel behavior of management.

Thank you for hearing our concerns in reference to what I considered unprofessional managerial behavior.

Me, my husband and our grandchildren ordered our food with captain d's online on 06/04/2022, when we arrived to pick up our order no one answered the drive through window for several minutes so we drove around to the front entrance and no one answered the bell to the front door so we waited for at least 15 minutes and a young lady waved us to the drive through window and when I walked around to the window she nor anyone else was there, Iam a heart patient with other medical issues and I stood there for another 10 minute in the sun while waiting and a man just showed up walked to the register put in a money draw and left again by this time my husband who is elderly and a medical patient got out of our air conditioned vehicle into the hot sun with me to see what was the problem and at the same time another employee arrived and we told him what we had been through. Mr. Nickolas Glen quickly apologized to us and tapped on the window for the manager to let him in to discuss the matter the manager was the same man that came to the drive through window and didn't acknowledge me being there. When Nickolas Glen tried to explain and ask Shane the manager why we were delayed so long without our order he seemed to be upset by our inquiry and told Mr. Glen to tell us we need to get back in line and re-order and we would need to pay again for our order. We were so appalled with everything that we asked him to just cancel the order and please refund our money the manager replied that we needed to take it up with captain d's head office, instead of trying to resolve the matter like a professional manager would have done.

We thank you for your time in reading our concerns.

Desired outcome: Thank you again please refund us and there should be something done about how this manager treats sick elderly people.

Captain D's Captain D's batter dipped fish

March 12, 2022 my family & I went to the Captain D's on Germantown Pkwy in Cordova and bought what I thought was a family pack of their famous traditional batter dipped fish. I thought they mistakenly gave us chicken. It was never told to us that they changed their fish. I think that should have been disclosed at the time of order so I can decide as a Customer if I want to buy it, instead of making it home & tasting some horrible mystery meat. Please change back then I will come back.

Desired outcome: I would like to know at the time of ordering if something that was a traditional item has changed, instead of a horrible surprise like I got.

Captain D's Military discounts

I went to Captians D's twice this month and after ordering I requested my military discount, I was more than shocked that they said that I had to be in uniform to get the discount. I am retired as many of us living in Jacksonville Fl are. We don't wear or have any uniform to wear. I use to get the discount before, this policy doesn't make any sense, please explain.

Captain D's Captain D’S seafood

This is about the Captain D’S in Vicksburg Ms

The first visit after they remolded and opened the place looked real clean and the service was great. My family and I went yesterday May 29/2022. The service was not good at all the girl that waited on us had a ear plug in her ear and we had to repeat what we wanted over and over. Then we had to ask for clean straws and sauces. I myself found a hair in my slaw. They did give me more slaw but never apologized or anything. My brother in law is always wanting to go there to get fish but he was not happy at all yesterday said he wasn’t going back.

Captain D's Recent fish product switch

My concern is the recent switch from the all time original Alaskan Cod fish that has been everyone’s favorite and quite frankly the real reason for this restaurant’s success over all these years. Diners could always be certain that we would be served great quality seafood. After numerous complaints from trying and trying the fish it is very clear to see that this is not the Alaskan Cod that continues to be advertised. It has clearly been switched to Swai fish. Swai fish being mostly raised in Vietnamese rivers where they feed on waste and contain high levels of mercury and other impurities not suitable for consumption. I’m sure the switch was due to our very unstable economic situation today. However due to the unhealthy farming of this fish and contaminations this restaurant owes it to their loyal diners to be open and honest about their change. Due to health reasons if not anything else.

Desired outcome: My desire Is that the public be made aware of what they are eating and why this switch h as been made at our expense.

I used to work at Captain Ds in the 80’s and have been a loyal for a long time-it’s good to know that they switched the source of their fish-because our fish was all mushy like and I won’t never eat there again. In addition they removed the fresh Tarter and cocktail sauce (because if Covid—-yeah yeah yeah-that’s bull. The packaged tarter was not only separated but also yellow and stinking! I didn’t even bother opening the cocktail sauce-these packaged sauces are not the ones they used to have at all. We took our fish home and bought tarter on the way home-and then like I said it was mushy and tasteless. I believe companies Amy the government find out what we like-then they get rid of it or change it into something you don’t want-case in point the NFL. RIP Captain D.

I ordered a fish sandwich today and noticed the fish was different. Not all white, and almost looked like a giant fish stick that you buy frozen. I won't be eating at Captain D's anymore

Captain D's Fish changed from the Alaskan Cod to Swai

I frequent the Wetumpka Alabama restaurant and I have noticed a distinct change in the fish taste and texture. I have always been a Captain Ds lover. I am very disappointed that we have been duped into thinking that this is that same fish that we have always enjoyed. I hope to receive a timely response. [protected]@aol.com

Desired outcome: That something is done to inform the diners of this change.

Captain D's Price for catfish tender meal

I LOVE Captain Ds, but not today... I decided to try the catfish for the 1st time and I decided to go with the catfish/shrimp special today (5/23/2022). I purchased your catfish tender specials $6.99, after adding 2 additional sides (fries/slaw) my meal was $15+ with tax. I got 6 small shrimps along with what was suppose to be1 catfish tender (which is 1/4 of a piece of whole fish). Now I sent my spouse to pick up my meal and he was only going to bring back what I asked for even if it looked wrong. The tender was not as long as my pinky finger and the thickness was less than 1/8 of an inch of the entire piece from top to bottom. He mentioned that even the store workers commented as if the food would not be enough. He tempted to add a piece of fish, but was told that would cost another $4+... So my meal would have been over $20+ with tax. He walked in saying you are not going to be happy at all.

Unsatisfied customer. Also, no coupons are being delivered to my address, unsure why they are not.

Desired outcome: For what was paid, you would have thought the servers would have suggested to get the full meal vs the special based on overall price. I was not satisfied with the meal and the price is unbelievable for the portions.

Captain D's Drive thru never took my. Not one time multiple times.

I live in Crestview Florida. I have been up to the order menu in the drive thru multiple times and know one asked me told on or even knew that I there. Today I was behind a lady waiting to order and she said that she had been there for a while. Said she didn't have anyone working the window but when I finally gave up to I pulled around to leave and there was two cars one at the window and waiting for there order. One time I was told they were closed and they had three cars in front of me and wouldn't take my order. So I'm done dealing with Captain D's in Crestview Florida. Hope something gets done with this location.

Captain D's Giant fish sandwich

We ordered a Giant fish sandwich and extra six pieces of shrimp. We received our order and checked it prior to leaving. Our extra shrimp were missing so we drove back around. While checking the giant fish sandwich we noticed that all they did was cot one piece of fish in half. While at the window I inquired about the giant fish sandwich which clearly shows that two whole pieces of fish should be on the sandwich. I should the server the sandwich and ask if it was their Giant fish and she said "does it have two pieces of fish?". I said no it has one piece cut in half. To which she replied "well that is two pieces". We left with our food. We love captain D's.

Desired outcome: Try to make you food look more like their photos

Captain D's Sorry Food

Order # 0143

captain d's 3140

666 battlefield pkwy

ft. Oglethorpe, ga. 30742

[protected]

deasia took my order and was so distant and seemed like she was on the phone instead of answering my questions. I order 8 pcs. Cheese sticks and asked for ranch dressing which at the time I picked up my order was told they were out of ranch dressing. Nothing was offered to make things right. Most people I know eat cheese sticks w/ ranch dressing. That was $3.79 wasted because when I got home had no ranch, so couldn't even eat them. I asked about the clams app. Or even the clam dinner and rudely told that we don't sell that anymore. I order 2 pcs. Fish dinner with okra and fries and fries were so cold I couldn't eat them, so that is another item I couldn't eat, the okra was the worst okra I have ever had, it was so cold that it was slimmer. The fish was cooked so hard that I got 4 bites out of 2 pcs. Of fish to eat. I spent $15.26. This is the 4th time that I have had an issue with service and food orders. The last 3 times I said nothing, I just chalked it up as a bad day. I asked for a medium Pepsi with extra ice, and only had less than half a cup full of ice. I hate long john silver's and captain d's is my only fast food seafood place and has been for over 33 years. I really don't know what has happened to this address, but since the covid 19 started, this place has just got worse and worse as the days and months go by.

Desired outcome: A PHONE CALL AND MY MONEY BACK, FOR THIS ORDER 0143- 10/MAY/2022, AND SOMETHING WAS DONE ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT. AS I SAID, MY FAMILY ONLY EATS CAPTAIN D'S AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. [protected]- KENNY S.

It was May 2, 2022 at 1:00 pm when I ordered a 3-piece country-style fish dinner and they gave me instead the regular flour fried fish. Apparently, the cooks weren't paying attention when the cashier told them specifically, "Three country-style." This happened at Captain D's in Jasper, Alabama.

Captain D's 2piece fish

12:17 5/1/22 Nigel was the cashier. We ordered 2 2 pieces fish and shrimp. We both only got 1 piece of fish and for my sides I got breadsticks and fries. I got maybe 10 fries and no hush puppies. Just because I got breadsticks didn’t mean I didn’t want my hush puppies. We live on the other side of town so we couldn’t go back. I tried calling but there was no answer.

Desired outcome: Money back or or fish and hush puppies.
