I haven’t been in a CaptN D’s since I was a child and had been meaning to visit this location for quite sometime. My son has recently been hankering for a Shrimp Plate, so I gave it a go this Friday afternoon!! As expected, all out Busy as can be expected, however that was of no consequence and the juice was in fact worth the squeeze! This restaurant should be commended for exceptional customer service and phenomenal food! Justus is the only name on the receipt. The young woman who greeted me works very well under pressure and welcomed me as promptly as would be possible in that situation. ( line around the building and 5 on deck at counter) She took my order and was very attentive as I read my rather larger list off, repeating to confirm my order! All the while, friendly and cool as a cucumber even with the trail of frenzied partially starving guest following. As this is happening I see every one there is hustling, I mean really moving, and all in sync. It was a ballet, live and in person. The teamwork i witnessed made me envious of my own retail store. Needless to say the food was phenomenal, order 100% correct, and certainly worth the wait! I appreciate the dinner Capt Ds and will be back!

I absolutely love the Captain D’s located at 5640 University Blvd W Jacksonville, Fl 32216. The food is always hot and delicious and the employees are professional and kind. This all stems from the leadership that they are witnessing and following from their management. One in particular is Rich, he shows a “Wow Factor” in his Leadership Skills and Customer Service Skills. I ordered a lot so not to hold up the line they asked me to park and they would bring my food out, Rich didn’t send one of his employees he actually brought my food to me hisself. When he brought my food I asked for my drink to be replaced, Rich didn’t frown or give me a look he said yes ma’am and went and got me another drink. I advised him that I thought he was a great manager and that I appreciated his superior service. This is the only Captain D’s I will go to, thank you Rich!

Arrived a little after lunch time, so not much of a crowd. Got a new guy at the register , couldn’t tell if he had a attitude or if he was just nervous at being new. Ordered my food and sat down, the wait seemed a little long to be the only person that ordered, but that was fine. The two issues I had were the size of the fish on my meal with hardly any fries. It looked like kids portions, I’m fine with paying a little more to get a few more fries on my plate, and a few decent size pieces of fish. But the best part was watching the manager argue with a lady over giving her a order of fries that the kitchen messed up on. I guess the fries or gold at this establishment, that’s why I only had like 8 with my order, and the manager was not going to give the lady hers. It’s a sad day when the manager has people looking at him argue with a guest over some fries...

  • Linda Knight

Sorry sorry service! This was a Tues between 8pm ans 8:15 pm. Long wait at drive thru speaker, then we were asked to pull forward so they could take care of others behind us and AGAIN had to wait for food. Why did they not pull the people in front of us forward? Ordered fried tilapia with potato and cole slaw ans ordered EXTRA hush puppies. We got 2 hush puppies! That is what always comes with a meal. No extra as we ordered and paid for. No appology for having to wait. Also no inside customers so why long wait? Its like they never dropped our order Lastly cashier, could not understand a word she said because she talked so fast and in black speak. They should learn to speak CLEARLY not some slang mumbo jumbo when dealing with the public. Also no sorry for wait or thank you for coming. Sorry sorry service

  • Fay Moreland

This is suppose to be my BIG FISH SANDWICH!! went through drive thru after work, university location. visited the dining room the day before, same meal was great very nice lady opened container to show me what I was getting!!decided to return the next day after work before going home. I live a great distance away, when I got home I opened and I wasn't pleased!! Called number on ticket many times, no one answered, constant Busy signal, tried to call area manager listed on ticket who by the way never returned my call. But that's ok. Fish was too hard, appeared to have burn areas.. certainly not the best I know Captain D is capable of. I try to be fair and honest with every review, and since no one bothered to return my calls, this is it. And No! I didn't eat it. was mad and DISAPPOINTED.

  • Kevin Solomon

This establishment had a rocky course coming out of the pandemic. I would stop in for lunch, only to find it closed, or just the drive-thru operating. I know they were experiencing major staffing issues. But here in 2023, things have greatly improved. It seems they have some stability in the workforce. The staff there are efficient and polite. The food, is on point. I especially enjoy the new spicy battered fish. I know longer have to smother their regular fish in hot sauce. All in all, a great meal, that is healthy as well.

Captain D at University Blvd, Jacksonville, fl. see attached picture, the thing they called breaded shrimp does not look anything like breaded shrimp, more like fried okra, much different from their advertised picture (see on top of screen) the flour were white and un-cooked we threw them away. we went with our welcome gift, a fish and fries free from captain D. we called and was told you just have to show on your mobile phone, that's simple. in reality, the shop said, "we cant do that. you may want to try some other store". these captain D does not honor captain D welcome gift. what? Really, really?

Food was decent but the representative running the drive through was very rude and short with us! Rushed us to order even though I explained we needed a minute. I asked for extra sauces and the response I got was I will give you what I have! When I got the food to the hospital for my brother who just had surgery and hadn't eaten in 2 days there wasn't enough cocktail sauce at all. 4 meals and she gave us 2 sauces. We order 4 drinks and she gave us 3 and said qr didn't order the 4th. Myself and my partner at the time were so frustrated we just wanted to leave and would have left the whole order if it wasn't a special request from my brother who just had surgery! Terrible

  • Frankatlake

My wife and I went to this location (University Blvd) Saturday night. We walked into an altercation between a customer and a woman behind the counter. The woman was screaming at the top of her volume level. Evidently the customer was demanding a better level of service and quality in his meal, and the black woman behind the counter was not about to honor it. As the tension escalated, the woman became more animated and furious. At this point my wife and decided to leave before something really bad happened. Can'y comment on the food, because we didn't get any. But, I will say the situation scared the heck out of my wife, and I was concerned for our safety.

  • Sherry “SHANANA” Clark

The workers would not come to the intercom. It said they were open. It was only 8:30 pm sunday. The workers were standing around outside on their phones. Sitting in their cars. The lady that was there before me was treated very Badly. They asked her to wait a minute. She waited at the intercom for ten minutes and they never came back to her. So she went to the window. They would not come to the and they would not serve her. So she went inside and they still would not serve her. Then they were taken pics of her license plate. They did the same to me. I would not eat here. The problem was the employees are 13 percent of the population.

The counter person had no hair net or the cook. The food was cold, and the location was horrible . No real parking . Service is lousy, waited 15 minutes for my food.

  • Jackalope0204 _

so i was strollin along and saw captain D’s, the name woke my little guy up so i went on in. I’m a big lobster guy mostly from sponge bob and I hate red things so the lobster needed to die. I got the lobster roll and walked out, while i was riding my bike I heard something from my bag. I open my bag to see a fish a live fish was in my bag. I was so upset but i couldn’t go back because my little legs where feeling like jelly. the fish jumped out the bag and ran away. I’m so disappointed in you guys and might cry because the fish bite me and hit me in the knee. I HATE IT HERE

  • Renda Hall

LOVE the fried fish and hushpuppies! Coleslaw pretty good too. Prices are reasonable, service is pretty quick for this type of restaurant and I wish their tartar sauce was bottled because I would buy it and take it home!!

  • Vickie Travelz (Vickie Travelz)

Arrived about noon for lunch. There was a line which was to be expected but there was only 1 register open. After ordering, we made our way to dining room where we had to clean a table because they were all dirty. The food arrived — the fish looked good, the meal looked good but the side salad was a bit brown and sad and we had to ask for salad dressing. The tartar sauce was empty and several people asked for it to be refilled. Not enough employees to deal with the small lunch crowd. #VickieTravelz

  • Shawn Barker

Food was really good. The staff was very courteous, the manager I assume was extremely attentive and spoke to almost everyone in the restaurant while cleaning tables and picking up things. She deserves a raise and recognition for how good her staff is, that kind of courtesy starts at the manager and is exemplified by the staff.

Wonderful staff, pleasant friendly. Happy Best service and food from this Captain D's These people know what customer service means. I will not get food from the others because it is no comparison to what we've gotten here next to University Christan school. 103rd and Normandy need to take lessons from them.

  • Paul Baxter

One of my favorite fast food place is NO LONGER WHAT IT ONCE WAS. The prices have gotten so high, the portions have gotten smaller. The fish is like fish sticks and chicken is like chicken fingers...no planks anymore! Who made this poor marketing decision? Couple that with the usual unprofessional and lackluster staff that can't ever seem to get an order right. And dont get me started on the sides. They are 2 bites and they're gone. Its sad but I may never go back ever again.

  • Celeste Viano

Granted this is not a 5-star restaurant but the fish is light-bettered but extra crispy. FF are good and the Cole slaw is chopped small and creamy; not too vinegary. Atmosphere leaves something to be desired but again I'm all about the food. Considering prices are increasing all the time it's a good value. The only down side is the price of iced tea. A medium is expensive. Guess it saves increasing the cost of the dinner.

  • Marty Richey

Make sure you read the fine print on their menu. Ya, fine print at a fast (NOT) food restaurant! Everything I ordered had an upcharge. $13 was what I saw in big numbers for a Lobster, fish, and crab cake platter plus a pint of soup. Great food. But my bill was $18. Platter advertised at $9. Soup $3.50. Turns out large soup $6.50 and my two included sides added $1.50 as premium sides. Then they got the order wrong so took 25 minutes. Again tasty but expensive and very slow!

  • Kisha Curry

The food was packaged badly this trip and the fries and okra were not cooked long enough... the batter dipped fish and shrimp was still on point and the sides were good. We had a lot of hush puppies so I'll make a side with those today. JMTs but when you pay for food out, it's expensive, you're expecting a level of consistency. Although the guy working the window was nice and courteous, at the end, I just felt like I should have just cooked at home and saved the money...

  • Tim Duffy

My wife and I stop about weekly. The staff is always pleasant and quick. The food is always great. Edit: stopped by today for lunch. Pretty disappointed. I have several complaints about today's meal. Firstly the portions are all smaller than last week's. The breading is different and quite bland. Lastly the fish today was grainy, almost like a formed and fried paste not flakey like a fish fillet should be. The wife and I will be rethinking coming here for a meal.

This seafood reminded me of Long John Silver's we have back home in San Antonio, Texas and this is my first time in Florida and ordering from Captain D’s When I received my food it was cold but then again I ordered through DoorDash so I’m sure about the time the food came to me it got cold but overall it was delicious

Lack of customer friendly service even though the rep was friendly, the food was so so. Make serving size smaller and charge more customers neversee this yeah right charge almost $2 for an alarm carte piece of fish or chicken and it doesn't weigh even 2 ounces and it is not bigger than your pinky finger. Look at more ways to rip off your customers.

  • Quandale Pringle

Purchased 10 pc family meal and 3 6-pc butterfly shrimp. The whole thing was terrible. The fish was cold and rubbery the shrimp cold and hard The fries were cold hush puppies overcooked c and cold. The only thing decent was the Cole slaw. That was a lot of money to pay for inedible food. It must have been sitting there an hour before they packed it for us. Very disappointing. Was really looking forward to a good fish meal

  • DJ Mark

It was 10 minutes before closing. The service was poor and my order was messed up. I had to pull off and find out they were out of hush puppies and returned and was given something else but never informed earlier. You can tell their desire to leave outweighed their desire for customer service. I guess when you're in the mood for Captain D's you're willing to go even though most of them have poor customer service.

  • Sally Shaw

We had coupons and they have nice portions. We had fish and chips. The fish was warm and I asked them to add some of the crunchy nattered and they did. Their hush puppies as great. And it was very not very expensive. We added a side of shrimps for an extra 2 dollar. The shrimps were not worth it they were tiny!! The corn on the cob was great with lots of butter and it was hot. The cole slaw was very good!!

  • Deidra Jordan

I initially went to Checkers up the road and received HORRIBLE SERVICE AND GREASY NASTY FOOD. I politely asked for my money back and came to Captain D's to received THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FRESHLY COOKED FOOD!!!! The Woman in the drive thru was thoroughly and extremely professional and very politely. This will be my FIRST next time!!

  • Lacey Freeman

This location was MUCH BETTER than the location on 103rd!!!!! I went to the 103rd one and had to wait 45mins on my food!!!! This time at the University one I waited 10mins!!!! (Which is AMAZING!!! I mean the food has to COOK and there's other in front of me and in drive thru!!!) The girl working the counter was SUPER FRIENDLY and AMAZING! So all in all THIS was a GREAT experience this time!!!

  • Eula Mae

Although the cashier was pleasant, the wait in the drive thru was too long. I waited in line to order approximately 10 minutes with additional 10 minute wait after I ordered. Included in my order but not pictured was a medium Arnold Palmer, what I got instead was a medium watered down version of an Arnold Palmer- it was awful to say the least. This visit was a waste of time and money.

  • Anon Eamis

Love that Captain D's. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is a chicken joint. Even if you're not big on fish, if given a chance to sample the fish and chicken you will choose the fish. The sides are the shiznit. One complete dinner fish and 3 sides for $5-ish is a great deal. For a change of pace in fast food Captain D's has it goin'on with a solid meal for a competitive price.

  • Ashraf Aboulezz

Wanted to eat some fish. So, I decided to eat some inexpensive meal and eat some fish and shrimp. I had fried fish, Cajun shrimp and fried green tomatoes. To my surprise, fish tastes a lot better than some high dollar menues. Although, it is a fast food joint, the food took 20 minutes to come out. Young boys are cooking and have no feeling of time. Service is okay but very slow.

  • Aiden Pearce

Extremely rude staff, heard our order incorrectly multiple times and insisted that what she heard us say was correct and that we were wrong. After correcting her AGAIN, she yelled back into the kitchen saying that we "Wanna add on another fish sandwich combo" rolled her eyes and gave us dirty looks despite us being cordial and polite despite her incompetence. We won't be back.

  • Matthew Allen

About the only fast food joint still worthwhile. Huge respect for the franchise owner for paying for great employees. Every experience is perfect. Thanks. Everyone from the high school aged cashier to the shift manager. They all give fantastic service and the food is always consistent for the price as well.

I ordered the seafood supreme platter, I opened it up and the food had weird white stuff all over it and it looked pretty disgusting to be honest. The food was super cold but I ate it because my tummy was hungry. The only reason I give it a 2 is because of the big fat women in the front. She treated me with respect and I gave her my big pot in fortnite.

  • Pura Vida

Went here a few days after surgery & it was the best seafood I’ve had in years! The staff is remarkable, very kind & hospitable. They’ve suffered a lot from Covid lockdown & were just so happy to have people in their dining room. I’d eat here everyday if I could. Blessings to all these employees who work the front lines everyday w/a smile on their face.

  • zilch2011

Haven't had Captain Ds in years as there are none in my area but we decided to let grubhub bring it to our hotel in Jax. We loved it so much the fish filet were so crispy and cooked perfectly and the delicious deviled crabs..mmm.The mac and cheese is very creamy and yummy.The hushpuppies were so flavorful. This restaurant truly is deserving of 5 stars.

  • elisa medina

I dont understand why the bread for my fish sandwich was submerged in oil. It was dripping oil. Like they dunked it in oil then put it on the grill to toast it then made the fish sandwich. I should have taken a picture. I ate the fish. Threw away the bread. I was almost home by the time I took a look at it. Submerged in oil. The shrimp was great tho.

  • Matt “GenXBiker” T

It took 15 minutes to get us part of our food. When one employee told the cook that we were waiting, the loud answer was "too bad." The cook continued with "I don't care." We didn't get hush puppies or our okra. The chicken was over cooked. They want u'r money here food and service is not their priority. Also, don't use the bathrooms, it's bad.

  • Jasmine Dozier

The food is always hot and yummy at this location. I always get the 3 piece batteries fish meal with double okra! My family normally gets the same or gets the catfish 2 piece meal.or fish sandwich. I recommend any of those items. Only thing I would change is sometimes the staff looks like they hate their life. But hopefully they dont lol.

The worse experience ever! The lady in the drive thru kept messing up our order then, when we asked for sauces instead of looking she just replies with yeah I don't think we have any !! She didn't even look for it or anything. Such rude employees! To top it off our food wasn't even cooked correctly and was still cold.

  • TRUTHSEEKER 3396

Redicious! I bought the catfish feast, and got 3 small stripes of fish. I bought the extra shrimp, and they were greasy. The Asian manager did not seem to care that I was dissatisfied. Just wanted to make sure I gave all the food back to throw away before doing my refund. She did not even apologize. Lousy service!!!

  • Paisly Davis-Pryor

First visit was alright during the day. My second visit was with the night crew. The Asian guy swept and mopped the floor before serving my food I had to ask him to wash his hands. I called the area manager while sitting in the drive thru. I would only visit during the day where the customer service is amazing!

  • Glenda L Harrington

The service was terrible. The drive thru was lined up. Inside, people setting and waiting For their food. Lots of mad people yelling at the Two young ladies working the Counter. The only reason my son, and I stayed, Was because I really wanted some Fish. Waited 35 minutes for our cold food. Very disappointed

  • Jennifer Lunt

I ordered a grilled item because I am allergic to wheat. I asked them to leave off the bread and hush puppies. Not only did they fail to do so, but instead of remaking the order, they took off the bread and hush puppies and handed back the rest of ths food which had now come into contact with the allergens.

  • angela beers

My dad and his 2 friends came up dining room was closed,she said in drive thru said she could only take 2 peoples order,there were 3 and she made them leave. WTHeck they drove all the way from Saint Augustine for your food. They politely left and ate at Olive Garden. This is no way to treat our seniors!

  • Ann King

Latrina was a good CSR. Polite, courteous, and mostly efficient. She got my sauce wrong for my chicken but every thing else was correct. Chicken, corn, hushpuppies, and Jalapeno poppers were delicious. Sweet tea was really good. My wife was disappointed in the fish and okra but enjoyed the mac & cheese.

Went in to pick up an order that was made online. I wasn't acknowledged at all. It took them 20 minutes to get the order ready. I only saw two people up front both seemed to be under the age of 18. The female seemed to be trying to handle the drive thru and front register and wasn't able to keep up.

  • Mark Dancer

slow slow slow 25 minutes for a family meal deal. i could have caught my own and deep fried by then. 3 cars in drive thru not moving so went in to carryout. not any better. i appreciate cooking when I come theory but take it shouldn't be this slow, if I wasnted to wait could have cooked at home.

The restaurant looked old, but the food tasted good! Only "dis" on the food is that the shrimp were tiny!

Fish was fresh and hot. We ate in so I felt like the side portions were smaller than if we had gotten it to go but it was still enough. I would've been upset about my drink though had we not eaten in. The cup was full of ice, barely any soda I rectified this with a refill on the way out!

  • The Nelson's

As the food was great they did mess our order up, but we are all human and we just ate what was there instead of going in and making them redo it. The food was great even though it wasn’t what I ordered lol.

  • Denise Pritchett

Excessively long wait for our order, considering the restaurant was desserted. Food was okay. Portions were minuscule. For amount we spent, could have gone elsewhere for more generous servings. This location was once our "go to" Captain D's...maybe management has since changed.

The day we went there, as we got out of the car there was a bad smell. They said it was coming from the seafood place next door.

  • Ted Heath

one thing the fish was way overcooked, and I may have gotten maybe 10 french fries with my order. and of course my order was to go and I didn't check it. So I don't know! Could that be my fault for expecting someone to do their job correctly. …

  • Charles Sylvester

Good food as far as fast food seafood goes. Price isn't bad but for a few dollars more you can find some pretty good local seafood places. However, not a bad option if you're looking for a quick lunch that isn't your typical burger or chicken chain.

  • Mike Palamino

I despise going to drive thru n being told wait in parking lot for yr order. This time it took them 10 mins. Everything was in there and food was ok. Ugh I'll return but still not too thrilled

Ordered off grubhub. As soon as the driver got there the store canceled the order because they were "closed", it had already been accepted by then 30 mins before hand.

My food was not too edible today. I ordered on line and my son picked it up. My 2 stuffed crabs were burnt and hard plus I ordered hushpuppies with both orders and got a breadstick. Next time I'll come in and look at it before I leave the store.

  • Kathleen Ball

Salty and soggy food all around with little to no flavor. We were only given one helping of cole slaw when it was a family dinner for four we ordered and the slaw had fish batter leavings on top. Definitely not the quality of previous years.

  • Blake P

Cashier at drive through was rude and very unprofessional, waited 18 minutes from the time I paid until I got my food, after 15 minutes I asked the cashier how much longer and all she said was I don't know, after finally getting my food and

  • Christopher Duke

The service at the counter today was awesome. The lady helping me was so friendly and already had napkins and utensils in the bag without me having to ask (which is more than most fast food places). The food was hot, fresh, and tasty too!

  • walter Scheider

Just opened up needed a 10 peace for my crew. The manager lady at drive threw took care of it in a quick efficient manner. Was very impressed. Have had several problems in the past do to time frame issues. I will definitely be coming back

Greasy, lukewarm, poor quality. Slooooooow service. Ghetto staff that can hardly put together a complete sentence, much less a correct order. It's a guarantee that something will be wrong with your food. If your name is Laqueesha or

  • Gabrielle Kolb

Stopped in for a quick dinner in the midst of prepping for hurricane Irma and the ladies at the window were friendly and got my order correct! Came out quick, hot and fresh. Thanks for the service in a time of chaos! Will be back !

  • Jacobi Jones

Wait times at this location are ridiculously lengthy. I visit frequently due to the limited locations in the area. Never any issues with my orders but i would definitely suggest you set aside 30-45 minutes if you decide to stop by.

  • Red Roses

I don't know how the food tasted. I waited 58 minutes, 2 cars ahead of me, when I drove off. What took so long I don't know. The inside had 3 people in line when I pulled up. Eight cars ahead of me when I got in drive through line.

  • Catherine Frisone

My mother ordered the double shrimp meal instead the person taking the order put her as having the shrimp and fish meal. Our food was luke warm and my mother's fries were like icicles. We have received far better service before.

  • Layla D. Smith

Captain D's is a favorite of ours! Since the pandemic, takes a little longer to get your food, however.. It's always tasty and the employees are always kind and happy to help. The jalapeno poppers are a "must order" everytime.

  • Peggy Winkler

Usually the food is very good. Today was not the case. The fish either was not done or was sitting out to long. The fries were not hot and the poppers were cold. Waiting for 10 minutes for a to go order, I excepted much more.

  • Deborah Johns

Now this place is Outstanding. I love there food. Nice prices. People that work there are very friendly. Sitting area to eat your food is very clean. I do recommend this place to anyone. Please give them a try. . …

  • Debbie Mathis

Got the cat fish dipper sandwich, came out ice cold. The dippers had the consistency & taste of clam strips. Should have sent back, didn't because would have been a whole thing. Floor in dinning area was filthy

  • Carolyn Smith

The staff was overwhelmed With the volume of business they were experiencing. I drove about 15 miles. Don't think I'll go back (although I have enjoyed it in the pass ) but the food quality was very bad

There was a young man working the drive through and bringing out the orders and he was incredible! So professional and kind! Food was so fresh and tasted amazing! Loved the experience and yummies!

  • USMC SilverBack

Halfway decent and clean. The employees when I went seemed pretty neat ce but were Young kids ...very respectable for the most part. Food was hot and for the most part ok, but that ain't a potato

  • The Amazing Amanda Simpson

Food was very fresh and they weren't too busy however, the lady, who was working the window, was letting her bad day show with a bad attitude. Service is important to me, even if it is fast food.

  • Jeff Stanley

Our meal came on reusable plates, and they had metal forks. Now if we can get locally sourced organic produce and a salad with many types of raw veggies, then I'll really enjoy this place again!

  • Brian Hunter

Service is usually slow at all times but the food is always hot, fresh and accurate. Corn on the cob is delightful and try the D's sauce. Also they have the best honey mustard I've ever tasted.
