Captain D's

I’ve been coming to this location since they opened the portions were always enough to fulfill you, however now things have changed. I am very disappointed in how they charge the same price for less food. It’s as if they took what used to be one big fish and cut them 3 ways making the portion the size of a cheese stick and serve that as a Whole meal. I won’t be returning it’s not worth $15 until they bring the original sizes back.

I have been a consumer of Captain D’s for over 20 years. I’m not sure what changes have been made but the portions are absolutely pathetic now. It seems like the pieces of batters fish are HALF the size they used to be. For $15+, this is sad. I am definitely done with this franchise now.

Every time I come the food and fish is always fresh. I've had one issue with the potato being brown all the inside which was weird and it tasted funny but other than that the broccoli is good the coleslaw was good which I barely eat coleslaw. And everything is always like I say fresh. I love the spicy cod. Just in all around good experience and the customer service is on point The guys are very friendly 🙏🏾

4 pcs, catfish, dinner 1799. No drink not worth it!!! Very very very stingy on the fries!! You also have to ask for tartar sauce.They don't just give it to you.

This was my first time here, I had a taste for some fish. I got the 3 piece catfish meal with coleslaw and green beans. I'm sorry, but none of it was good to me. I'm not sure what kind of fish that was, but I don't think it was catfish. I couldn't eat it.

Thank u to P. He was the only one there on 7-24-2025 at 4pm. He took the orders of the drive thru an customers. P also prepared the food n had a very mannerable energy. He went above and beyond. Thank u P

Awful customer service order 2 piece fish and orka and when I received it the food was over cooked it probably was sitting under heat lamp and they just put it back in the hot oil to make sure they it looked fresh and I took it all back and old dude act like he couldn't understand English

Great prize and size for food. Would go back for sure

I'd give this place zero stars if not for the fact that the food is hot and fresh. The staff and overall customer service are a mess, there's a weird energy here, and it feels like nobody actually wants to be at work. That's not what you want around your food. I grew up loving this place, so when they opened a location nearby, I was hyped for the nostalgia. But honestly, it's not worth the drive anymore. I came back in June and again recently, and I can't even call this a real fish spot now. The fish is skinny, dry, barely battered, and there's no crunch, more like a sad fish stick than anything. It's a shame this is the only Chicagoland location, because it's a total letdown on what should be the main event: the fish. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they close soon. Food's too expensive these days to waste time on sides-only nonsense.

Finally tried the restaurant. The wife ordered online and I picked it up at the drive through window. Everything was very good and very affordable. The food was ready very quickly as well. We had lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster bites, catfish sandwich, shrimp, hush puppies, okra, and French fries. I'm so glad we finally tried it. Would return, would recommend!

. This place when it first opened was fabulous. I would like to see it be great it's close to my house. No specials, I don't know how they can survive. It always looks closed.

The food was good one of the customer service representatives was clueless the other was helpful . The food was fresh and satisfied my cravings .

The other time I came here my spicy battered chicken sandwich was decent, but today I noticed my shit was raw as I was finishing the sandwich, hopefully I don't get sick. The cheesecake was ok

Total ripoff;seven dollars for three chicken strip meal and got two and a half strips the size of my pinky finger,and a few fries,for that money you can do better anywhere else,don't waste your money.

The catfish was really smelly, it was definitely spoiled. Don't waste your money and risk getting sick.

Let me begin by saying that I love Captain D's and I've eaten there several times, since, it opened in Posen, IL. However, on Monday night, when I went to their location, all of the employees had their mask underneath their noses. When I asked the cashier to speak with the person that was fixing my food, to adjust his mask and place it over his nose, he looked out at me and continue fixing my food. I politely asked her if someone else could re-do my order. She did as I asked, but the gentleman that stepped in to re-do my order, had just come in from the outside, with no mask on, never washed his hands, nor did he put on any gloves. He pulled his shirt up over his nose and begin to fix my food. It was the most disgusting thing I have seen in a while. Have these employees forgotten about the spread of COVID-19? Also, it is very repulsive to see the employees that work the cash register and take the customer's payment(s), turn around, open your food, and breathe all over it, while they check your order. No handwashing, no gloves, hair flying everywhere...All of the employees (that work at the Posen location) need to be re-trained and monitored very closely. This is extremely unsanitary and needs to be corrected immediately. By the way, I did not eat the food!

I finally stopped in to give the new neighborhood restaurant a try , let's just say it was my first and last time. I should have took heed to some of the reviews. However , I wanted to try it for myself . I ordered the "blackened " fish and it was everything but blackened. I didn't have much expectations for the green beans or corn so I won't review those but this fish was bland and definitely not blackened. I believe the concept of the restaurant is good ; ie offering grilled options with veggies. However , the execution is poor . A wasted hard earned $10 and cheat meal

I tried this place for the 1st time and the food was horrible!!!! I ordered shrimp and fish. The shrimp was all batter breading no shrimp to be found and the fish was very old and batter heavy and most definitely not good fish. I had coleslaw that was ok but not fresh and the only thing I could eat was the hush puppies and fries. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. When a place has no traffic trust that no one likes it.

Lol. They can't be serious. My food was cold , hard , greasy , crunchy, and very disgusting. This does not taste like captain D's I've had in the south . One star because the service was good . They were very nice .

My husband and I passed the restaurant on our way home. We decided to go back, because the only Captain D's we know are in the South. We asked how long they'd been open, and they said 2 years. As soon as we came in, we were greeted by the cashier and the cook. Felt nice to have customer service. We explained that we had to try it since we loved the one in the South. So he said that means you know what you want. I definitely did!! I love their fish sandwiches. The fillets come on a buttery bun, and are way over the bun itself. It was so hot, and delicious. I tried the fried okra, and they were pretty good. Also tried the cheesecake, which was from the Cheesecake factory, my first experience. It was decent, but my daughter's is way better! The funnel sticks were good, but my husband was looking for dipping sauce. I'd definitely recommend the restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was served in a timely fashion. It was very hot and good! You should for sure check them out!!

Welcome to Chicagoland! I'm a southerner that moved to CHI several years ago. Captain D's is one of those southern staples that I have been missing. It was good to know that a location recently opened in the area. I have stopped by twice within the last month (most recently this past Friday evening). It's just as I remembered it, great service, great people and great food! My meals were really good, served as expected; hot and fresh. The service was really good. I have not been disappointed yet. I believe you have a good Team. Thanks for the great service! I will be back soon.
