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.

I forgot to mention, the picture on the website is what opted me to purchase the catfish tender and it looks nothing like the picture.

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.

I am sure that I got some of their leftovers as the fish was cold and hard The young lady did as as if making additional food was a problem.

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.

Would no honor it a week later. See wasnt there.

Week before, no sweetner for tea. [ wife diabetic ] weeek before, no fish. Truck didn't run.

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.

Captain D's I would like to suggest that employees get more training on menu items

On [protected], we stopped at 365066 store in Elberton, Ga. Order #0082 at 1:10pm, we ordered their special on the sign with shrimp and fish for $6.99, first time Kayla rung up our order she over charged us, 2nd time she rung us up she said it is only 1 side and no drink, with the sign clearly explaining just the opposite of what she told us... Kayla was rude and unprofessional and kept putting our order in wrong and refused us our drink cups. There was an elderly black lady cleaning tables and she could hear what was happening, she walked up and got our cups and she was extremely helpful, I think her name was Linda maybe. We told Kayla they should change the sign if it was no longer being offered as we were guest #023, and others had just ordered that special prior to us. This incident has really made my husband hesitate to ever stop at Captain D's again in the future, she finally gave us water cups to obtain drinks from and glared at us the whole time eating in the restaurant. My husband was so irritated and took a picture of the large sign offering the special with drink and she could clearly read it from her cash register.

Desired outcome: and learn how to talk to guest and not be so rude, maybe a free dinner for two .

Captain D's Food I ordered and disrespectful attitude.

April 13, 2022 approximately 12:10pm. I came into Capital D's to order off the senior menu. I ordered a 2 piece fish with fries and cold slaw and an extra shrimp for $1.99 (?), About 5 minutes later I order another senior meal with extra chicken. It took them about 45 minutes to give me my order (I left out of Captain D's about 1pm). The young lady who waited on me was very pleasant even through it too so long. I came into the restaurant with my 7 year old who was diabetic and his blood sugar was dropping fast because we were waiting so long. I asked her how much longer (at that time it had been about 35 minutes). When I finally got my order, I left the store (didn't check to see whether I got what I paid for). When I got home about 20 minutes later, I noticed that she had given me the wrong order. I got the 2 piece fish but it was with fried Okra (?) and green beans. The extra shrimp was not in the bag. I call the store and was asked about the receipt and I told her that I didn't have it. I was not rude to the young lady. All I told her was that she had given me the wrong order. Yes, I got the fish (although not the same size, one was much smaller) but I didn't get the sides that I order nor the 5 piece extra shrimp I paid for. She asked me to look again for the receipt and call back. When I still couldn't find it, I called back and the phone rang many, many times (does the store have caller ID?) and eventually the "phone" or someone hung up. I called back immediately (thinking I must have gotten disconnected) and it just rang again for many, many times (did they see the number, and decide not to pick up the phone?). I gave it another 30 minutes and called back and again it just rang and no one had the decently to answer. I come in there all the time, and this is the very first time this has happened. I'm writing this complaint because I believe it was disrespectful that your employees saw my phone number on the caller ID and deliberately chose to ignore it. The manager was there (busy, I understand) but did she also decide this customer wasn't worth her time? They could have at least answered the phone and said "too bad" if you don't have the receipt. Just don't ignore your customers' calls. This sets a bad taste for your company. I figured corporate will not address this, just blow it off like your employees.

Desired outcome: I would like to know exactly how I should have handled this and I would like an apology. You need to train your employees better.

Captain D's Product = batter dipped fish fillets

It's been a while since I went to Capn D's. It is a treat since I normally don't eat carbs. But this time my batter dipped fish fillets were DEFINITELY not fillets. They did not taste the usual "AWESOME" either. When I broke one open it didn't look exactly minced. More like pieces pressed together. So sad - I have crossed them off my list of placed I will go to. All I bought was a big order of fish. Spent almost $25 for very sub-par product

Desired outcome: confirmation of product change and when they will go back to fillet if ever
