Captain D’s
Captain D’s restaurants serve freshly prepared seafood in a fast casual setting for guests looking for a quick meal with a seafood focus. Our menu centers on hand-battered fried fish, along with grilled, baked, or broiled fish, shrimp, chicken, and homestyle side dishes like coleslaw, hushpuppies, baked potatoes, and vegetables. We operate full-service restaurant locations designed for dine-in and convenient everyday meals. A typical restaurant is staffed by about 20 to 35 employees, depending on size and sales volume. We compete in the fast-food and casual dining market by offering seafood-focused meals at a service level that is faster than traditional sit-down restaurants.
