Captain D’s — Restaurant in Foley

This is the first time eating at Captain D's. They have a Senior Menu which is unusual for a lot of restuarants. The service was right to each customer's table. No calling or yelling out a name or number. I had the fish and shrimp although I should not, and have not, eaten shrimp for many years because of high cholesterol. Maybe 4 little shrimp will not raise my cholesterol too high. The french fries were very good. I had corn and have not eaten corn in many years. Corn is fattening. This corn was on the cob, soggy, and maybe over-cooked. I remember how corn should look and taste although it has been many years. Corn should not be soggy, mushy, and taste as though it was boiled too long and allowed to sit in the water to become infused with water. It should be dry, crisp, firm, and just boiled with adding a little butter, salt, and maybe pepper or seasoning after removing it from the boiling water. Their boiled corn need some work. Stay with the french fries. Their fish was nice, crispy, and tasty. I hope it was not Swaii fish which is grown in sewerage ponds in Vietnam, processed, frozen, and shipped to American. The Vietamese must be having a big laugh over growing fish in their sewers and feeding them to Americans. The hush puppies tasted "off" and smelled weird. I wrapped those in a paper napkin to take home to the birds. Now I know not to order shrimp, corn, and decline hush puppies or take those to the birds. I can order catfish and french fries or baked potato. No...

Never again...made an order inside was told it would be 5 minutes. After a 12 minute wait was told another 5 minutes because they just dropped more fish. No other orders in lobby waiting...except people waiting to order. Drive thru orders were going out like crazy. They are more concerned with drive through than the lobby! Don't waste your time...go across the street to Culvers and get the service you deserve...the fish is better anyway!

Gave it another chance tonight (April 10) 15 minutes before closing....the attitude of the gentlemen that took my order was absolutely unacceptable. Guess he was upset because I can in right before closing...if he didn't like that, maybe he should have locked the doors and turned off the lights so that the store would have appeared closed. I know it's 15 before close, but you are still open. On top of that, when I got home with the food, the fish was cooked on the outside and still raw in the inside...had to throw out. Not at all the captain d that I remember experiencing years ago. Should have never came back after my first experience...guess I was...

Overall it was a pleasant experience. Ordering was easy, the restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was hot. My only complaint would be the menu. I understand not having the price listed as seafood tends to fluctuate constantly. Still, it would be easier for the customers and the staff to say give me a number one three-piece versus the menu option's name. That and the $3.30 I got charged for a large drink...woof. I haven't eaten at a Captain D's in decades and thought it strange one was opening here in foley, so close to the coast and local gulf seafood, but the place has been packed every day I drive home from work. So I finally decided to stop and see what all the...
