“Me and my wife decided to finally try Angela's and we were not disappointed. She got the captain Kenny and I got the cheesy bacon burger. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend. The servers were all so nice and just a great atmosphere. We both brought home the triple leches cake to try and I'm excited about it. It is a little expensive but well worth the money. Gonna try to cuban next time and my wife wants to try the chicken Philly.“

“The staff has always treated me well. The menu has a wide variety of items, my favorites are the chicken tenders, coconut shrimp and BBQ. The service is usually fairly quick and ask for the bread while waiting. They have beer on tap, but no liquor or bar. There's a senior menu on Thursday I think, but you have to eat in. The also have a loyalty card if you visit alot. In the summer they have an outdoor patio. Pictured is the pork BBQ, sweet potato fries and slaw, big portions!Parking: Lots of parking all around the restaurant, however, on really busy nights it may be difficult to find a spot. Busy for lunch and weekends.“

“The best seafood I have ever eaten in a fast food restaurant! Everything was absolutely amazing! The restaurant was clean. The staff knew & cared about what they were doing, they weren't there just for a paycheck. The staff was neat, clean, & very friendly. The food was cooked to order, so it was fresh & hot. They brought it to our table. Someone came by our table 2 or 3 times to make sure everything was ok or if needed anything else. Í can't say enough good things about this place. When we want fish again we will definitely go to this Captain D's instead of the one in our town, even though it's a little over an hour away. I would recommend this Captain D's to anyone!“

“Service was okay. Initial bartender was on point. The one that came on shift while we were still there spent most of her time socializing with the guys at the end of the bar. Overall, for what everything costs, I usually have a better experience and food at Texas Roadhouse.“

“Food is always good and fresh. Remains: the salad bar is open. My husband gets his steak extra well done with no pink. They deliver every time. I had the chicken tenders with baked potato. By the time I finished my salad, my chicken tenders were perfect for eating ? and the baked potato was extremely hot but delicious ? The service as always was friendly and great. Our drinking glasses never reached below half. Their yeast rolls ?always bring some home. Did notice the dips for the chicken came off the bar and you got them yourself. Honey mustard was perfect on 4/5/24.“
