Wonderful, outstanding and fantastic is how I will describe my visit here. Food was hot and looked liked the commercial ❤. Service was text book. Store was very clean, especially for weekend, and with the 1000 children running around from the crossplex arena across the street. Will keep coming back .

I love captain D’s and I’ve been to many over the years but this was the best experience I’ve had. If you eat at Captain Ds regularly you know they usually have some type of wait , but I only waited about 10 minutes during the lunch rush which was amazing! Then the food was top tier . Fresh, hot , seasoned! Great customer service as well!

Just had the most pleasant experience at this location. The young adults greeted me and gave eye contact. They worked as a team to get my food, and it was hot and fresh. I didn't get the young adults' names it was two female and a male in training. Thank you for your smiles during a sad time in my life.

The food was great! The employees are short staff so it took much longer on getting the food. They move fast to the best of their knowledge. I know how it is when is not enough staff to help out. I still give you all a 5 star for all the diligently hard work you put through to achieve your goals with customers like me. It more more than enough in my book😌🙂🙃🤗

I did the order online/ pickup. My food was ready and fresh when I got there. My only critique is associates should pay better attention to the ticket. I did a substitution but got the item I didn't want instead.

My family and I stopped by to eat here yesterday between games. The food was good and the service by Ms. Julie was superb. The only issue the fact that the bathroom was inoperable...

Normally Captain D's is pretty good for cheap greasy food, but the "Captain's Fish Fry" tastes like it came from the nearby creek. The pieces were goldfish-sized, too. Nice, pleasant staff, however. Not their fault about the quality of the fish. This location (Five Points West) is one of the best. It's always clean, neat & tidy when I've visited.

We arrived at 9 pm waiting at the speaker for 20 minutes. Only to be told we're closing down, so most menu items aren't available

My fish hush puppies and broccoli were hot even though the broccoli had no flavor. The french fries weren’t quite fresh even though the store had just opened up. They were out of coleslaw so I had to get the broccoli instead not my favorite. The service was good. They were in a good mood for having to deal with a leak and they were having to clean up a mess when I first walked in, but they got my order together in a timely fashion is the store isn’t just disrepair and needs of a major makeover, I wish that they would bring back the pumps for the condiment sauces and also the original way that they used to cook the fish 20 something years ago. That was the best. not sure what was going on with the what looked like ant beds in the window though.

Food was decent... took awhile some items got room temp before we got them. Thankfully they were for kids... who didn't need hot food. Service was decent.

The shrimp was good probably cause it had to be made fresh..... My side orders was not fresh.

I went thru the drive thru about 410 pm. . The cashier was very friendly. And professional.I understand that the 1st of the month is challenging..the wait was long (15min). Customer in lobby was in an uproar. I ordered 2 of 5.99 meals. Food was hot and smelled delicious. I bit into raw fish and half gone puppies. I tried to call before returning but just didn’t want the hassle of the traffic and wait time .Tired to call but machine was full.

Awful. I placed my order, blackened tilapia and grilled shrimp. 1st I had to place my order, pay then take a number to display when I parked. It took 30 minutes. The food was steaming hot BUT either the grill needed cleaning or they tried to blacken the bottom of the fish. The green beans were good but the fish turned my stomach. I'll be going to Texas Roadhouse tomorrow to get a decent grilled salmon dinner.

My okra was all stuck together, hushpuppies were not good, the fish was not hot and I waited for 10 or 15 minutes for food that was not hot

I came in to order on March 5th and neither of the two ladies acknowledged me or attempted to take my order. I feel that was very unprofessional and poor customer service.

Just left there and 🤢I thought I was gonna be able to grab a quick lunch but ended up waiting half an hour. They somehow handed out about 7 wrong orders which caused my wait to be long. I finally get it and its awful. I mean, my grilled fish is burnt, rice crunchy; the best part was the breadstick. Do better Shirley and team.

MY FISH WAS RAW AND UN COOKED. Took them 15 min too com too drive thru. This is RIDICULOUS AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.MY FRIES WERE FROZEN , COLESLAW SMELLED SOUR AND MY TARTER SAUCE LOOKED LIKE BUTTER AND WAS OILY AND WASNT KEPT AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE THIS IS THE CAPTAIN D’s ON BESSEMER ROAD IN 5 points.

To whoever is working tonight (10/17/25), I’m really sorry for the hassle. I tried to order a 2-piece and fries combo, which is clearly on the menu, but the employee acted like I was asking for something unusual. Then the manager stepped in to take over the drive-thru, but never completed my order, so I ended up just driving off. Irritated.

This has to be one of the worst Captain D's restaurant's there is! As a matter of fact, even the Vestavia Hills & Pelham location offer even better service than this one! Case in point, I had went there earlier through the drive-thru only to have to wait, while in line. Came time to get waited on, I was both greeted & asked, "Did I need any kind of sauce?" I replied, "That I did." To my dismay, not only did she not apologize for the long wait (a female who's the medium skin tone with dreads named Zatorria), she handed me my food, I thanked her & she said, "You're welcome". When she said it, she made it seemed like she was pissed off at me all of a sudden because she said it in a mean, dry tone of voice! And this is exactly why I hate this Captain D's because pretty much every time that I frequent here I stay having this same problem!
