I have been coming to this seafood restaurant for years, and it has never disappointed me. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The customer service is consistently top-tier and makes you feel like more than just a guest. The staff remembers familiar faces, which adds such a personal touch to every visit. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. Every dish tastes like it was made with care and attention to detail.

Today, I took my wife and mother-in-law to lunch at Captain J's, just as I do all my visiting guest and friends. As always, I have never been disappointed.

So before they close, I want everyone to know, their seafood is the best. Flou

I ordered the lunch special fish and chips. Food came out quick and hot! Delicious fish, shrimp, hush puppies and the fries too. Cute little mom and pop shop serving fish. They have lunch specials M-F from 11am-3pm

Great food, but they never answers the phone. Why add contact info if you're not planning on using it. While waiting for my order one evening. I was the only custer, that phone rang and rang and they never picked it up. So being busy is not it.

Food cramped in box. Couldn't tell if the fish was only cooked skin, hush puppies were VERY SMALL. Wasted $18 , Not worth it. Find a better place
