★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Linan Cat Haven · Dec 2025

The food was great, top notch. But the female cashier was very rude when I was giving my order. I have a speech impediment and it’s hard for me to communicate. So I thought the cashier would be respectful since it’s obvious I have that and anyone can guess it. During my order she looked very annoyed and mad in a way. She kept interrupting me nonstop and went to the kitchen to bring another worker to ask me more about my order. I don’t understand what was the point of that. If you work at a restaurant or a food chain, you should have that basic human decency since you get to interact with hundreds of people in a day. And I should she should take more lessons on that and how to be patient. She gets paid to do that. It happened a few weeks ago. Also she was being very polite and nice to som

Upon arriving walks inside Captain Jay's. Noticed a guy in the kitchen cooking. I also saw him grabbed hand full of okra put in fryer. Sir where are your gloves your touching customers FOOD. Young lady comes in from outside went in the kitchen she didn't stop at the sink to wash her hands. Miss you just came from outside touching door knobs and to her long hair wasn't cover with a hair net. Let's do better people. SMH

I used to frequent this Captain Jay's location because it consistently delivered the freshest and most delicious fried food in the area. Unfortunately, my recent visit was deeply disappointing. The display cooler was a major red flag, with flies visibly floating at the bottom in what appeared to be stagnant, contaminated water. This is not only unsanitary but also raises serious concerns about the health and safety practices at this establishment. Additionally, there were open sauce containers that had spilled, creating an unclean and unprofessional appearance. The service also left much to be desired. One staff member, a Chinese lady, seemed overwhelmed and overstimulated, struggling to multitask during a busy time. While I understand that running a food service operation can be stressf

Yesterday was my first time going to Captain Jay’s in Hamtramck. I used to think was it was haram but they told me everything was halal. So I tried it, and it was delicious. Good for the price and good customer service. I would come back for sure.
