Captain D's horrible customer service

Location: 1452 W. O. Ezell Boulevard, Spartanburg, SC 29301
Visit: 1/31/18
Time: approx. 9:15p

To start I would like to say that I am pregnant and my current cravings involve scrimp...Now to start the complaint;
I pull up to the drive thru and waited quit a bit of time for anyone to come to the speaker. Finally ordered and was argued that the "white fish, 4pc shrimp, and crab" meal was not on the menu, so I read it off with the price ($7.49). I ordered 2, one for myself, another for my husband. I get to the window, greeted with a new level of attitude by a young black female, then asked to pull into a parking spot. Waited well over 10 minutes for her to bring out my food. Meanwhile the cook brought out boxes of food and a gallon of tea to a random ford suv that pulled in (not the drivethru) just in a parking spot beside me. She finally brings my food slinging it through the window and walks off. I open it to find, NO SHRIMP, and NO hushpuppies! I go back around to the window and she refuses to open. I go park and get out, and was locked out of the facility. This place closes at 10p, and by this time it was 9:45p. I knock, she looks, rolls her eyes, and walks o the back! I call the store and no one answers. I get back into the car and pull back to the drive thru speaker, sat that for 10 minutes, nothing! I pull back to the window and no one is in sight. Needless to say I was furious! Every single visit to this location is the same, long waits, rude service, wrong orders, and no resolution. This by far was the worst! I just cant believe there wasnt a manager on duty or if this female was a manager then Captain D's can go ahead and shut down in this location! The only other associate ever spotted besides said female was a male who looked like he was a janitor, but Im afraid he was the cook. I do not want anything out of this, if I didnt have money for food I wouldnt have went. My only purpose is so that corporate can see the level of people that are being hired to run these locations. I know the turn over is high at this place, as I have NEVER seen the same person twice. But I can guarantee that Captain D's has permanently lost my business!

Captain D's the food

Now y'all fish use to a nice side fillet, but every time I go there it get smaller and smaller and the price go higher and higher. now y'all calling them strips. Don't y'all think it would be nice to at least give the costumers food for there money. I LOVE the old Captain D back in the days. when you got full for the food you order and you didn't mind paying for it. Sometime it pay to stay the same, because people hope to go out to eat and find the food at their favorite place tasting and looking the same as it use to be. Y'all might be making more money, but the quality has gone down and I LOVE me some CAPTAIN D

Captain D's employees have nasty attitudes and are lazy

Nasty, inconsiderate, unprofessional most absent - minded employees working on the front counter at captain d's at the newnan location. When you walk into that store you are so overwhelmed by the smell of weed and all those rude [censor] employees that work your front counter. What makes matters worse is your manager monica encourages the employees to act this way. They thank that they can talk to me any way that want. Well you picked the right one. You need to do something about it now this is the 4th time i've had to complain. Fix this problem

Captain D's cashier person/drive thru

This makes the second time that my order was either not correct or i didnt receive my complete order. I ordered through the drive thru two fish piece meals and a funnel cake for a desert. After i got my order i asked if i received everything and the lady told me yes. So i drove off and when i got home, I didn't have my funnel cake, nor did i have any hush puppies in either of my dinners. i called the lady back and she said she forgot to put them in my bag. She told me to drive back up to get the rest of my order. WHAT! i told her i already ate my dinner and basically VERY disappointed in Captain D's. The store # 3333 and their phone number is [protected]. There address on on Veteran's Memorial in St. Charles, MO. I am so aggravated with your company. The first time this happened to me. i decided i wasnt going back to Captain D's. then i thought about it later and decided to try it again and give another chance. Well I did try it again and WHAM! Not just one order but both orders got messed up and not complete. I am seriously about ready to contact the better business bureau with that Company. I would like my money returned to me OR some free dinners for my HORRIBLE experiences. THANK YOU! my address is

Captain D's manager hung the phone up on me

I was in your store on Dixie Hwy in Louisville Ky. I called because my rice was hard. The manager said it couldn't be because they always check the meals and allow the customer to check as well. I wasn't asked to check the meal. After I made my comment he hung the phone up on me. I have not been back since. It is sad when a manager decides to hang up on a customer because he can't handle a complaint!

Captain D's the food

I ordered the sampler. Everything was stale, breadstick was hard. I didn't eat it. No one should ever serve anybody food that's not fresh. I haven't eaten all day. And I picked Captain D's to satisfy my hunger just to be disappointed. I went to bed hungry and upset. I have attached the food for you to judge and see if you would eat this. I want a refund or a fresh order made.

Captain D's the way I was treated by the cook/manager

On 01/10/2018 I entered your restaurant located on Buenavista Rd, Columbus Ga. at 5:00PM EST, to make good on an order that was incomplete on 12/38/2017. The young lady at the counter was very nice and respectful. She informed the cook/ manager that I was there to make good on an order that was incomplete on 12/28/2017. The receipt was kind of hard to read due to the needing to be replaced at the time of the original purchase. The manager stated in a very degrading tone that this receipt is not our store. He then tossed the receipt into the garbage. I looked at him in disbelief and then ask if he knew which store it was from. He then retreaved it from the garbage and looked at it close and said that it was from the Macon Rd store in Columbus GA. The reason I went to Captain D's on Buenavista Rd is because that was where I thought my daughter picked the order up from on 12/28/2017. The cashier then returned the receipt to me after he through it to her. I did call the Macon Rd store and they did conferm have my name on their book for an incorrect order. At the time I was so upset and decided that it was not that important after being treated like that. I am a retired manager after 31 years from a major company her in Columbus GA, and I have been nor sent any of my team members to training that would validate the way this youn man acted today. It was so bad that I was embarrassed for him due to other customers being present.

Captain D's service?

I received a birthday coupon for a choice of 2 meals, when I tried to chose one of the meals at the only Captain D's in my area, 725 N Battlefield Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23320. They refuse to accept the coupon. What good is it to send the free birthday coupon if you can't use it. If I am unable to use it then you need to remove my name. the email it was sent to was [protected]@cox.net.

Captain D's verbal abuse & abuse of power

I worked at Captain D's owned by Nstars a Franchise owner. It's located in Surfside South Carolina. Scott Smith and Natasha Smith are the owners and general Managers at that store. They are rude, they yell at staff they show favoritism and they fire anyone that makes the smallest mistake. Scott Smith is a liar and a real [censor]. Scott Smith curses at staff and he changes schedule and dont call and tell you. He wants you to work a lot of over time when he needs you to but cuts our time when he wants to. Scott Smith is a bad leader and don't know how to run a store. They don't even speak to you some days, they just walk right by you.

Captain D's 3pcs meal

Captain D's is one of my favorite restaurants. I went to the drive thru and purchased a 3pcs fish cooked country style. The meal in which I received was enough fish tin make one full sized peice of fish. So I returned back to establishment to see if I could get some bigger size pieces of fish. The cashier at the window took my plate back and said ok. Then a male cashier came behind her explaining to me that the fish comes cut small so there would be no way for me to get bigger pieces. I say ok well I would like a refund then. I sat at the window for about five minutes for them to issue me a refund, meanwhile not once did the manager come to the the entire time I sat there. This is not the first problem that I have had with this location and needless to say I will not return to this location ever again. I always have a problem whenever I patronize this locations whether is my order being incorrect or the customer service.

Their three pieces of fish does not necessarily mean three fish. It typically mean three pieces of one fish. What resolution were you looking for?

Captain D's ethical & sexual harassment misconduct

My fiancé worked at captain d's in surfside on 17 south bypass store # 364306. It's near that steak n shake and dennys. My fiancée was there from the the grand opening and then became a manager then a assistant general manager. The whole time the owner scott smith was always talking crap about his in laws the reel owners cause he is just a puppet and has little power. The little power he have he be making racist comments about the black staff and he was always making sexual comments to my fiancée. Like dude was hella bold and would grab her butt and promise her she going all the way to the top. His wife tasha she don't do nothing but complain and be rude to staff and support scott when he treat the staff wrong. I heard scott was making sexual moves on other staff also. The owners fired my fiancée but let a sexual predator like scott still run there business. We thinking about filing sexual harassment lawsuit against scott smith. Dude is a pervert.

We are a family-owned business that owns & operates the Myrtle Beach, (Surfside), Captain D's seafood restaurant as a franchisee of Captain D's.
We care about our employees and would never tolerate the type of behavior alleged by Mr. Trainor in his complaint. We talk with our employees on a regular basis and have not received any similar complaints from any of our other employees. We terminated the employment of Mr. Trainor's fiance for reasons we will not discuss here. Only after that termination, did we hear about her allegations and, then, only through this website. Her allegations have no basis in fact and, if necessary, we will resolve them in the appropriate forum.

Captain D's service

We stopped at Captain D's in Saint Albans West Virginia. As soon as we entered the store there was a lady in the kitchen, turned out to be the manager and we were trying to be nice and kid around with her and she gave us a horrible look and again mid mid meal when we ask the question about our food she was very Kurt and rude of her comment. Her name was Tina. Other people who were eating in there overheard our conversation and made the comment that she is always like that . We love Captain D's but I will not go back to that store again . Uncalled for.

Captain D's franchise owner/general manager

The Captain D's at 118 Loyola Drive
Surfside SC. Store # 364306. The Franchise Owner/General Manager is rude, not professional and I over heard him cursing at his staff and throwing things in the kitchen on one occasion maybe a month ago. The store used to be fast when making food and food was hot. Recently we wait almost 15-17 minutes for a simple order of fish and fries. The staff has changed so much since u remember and it's going down the drain. Reminding me of how bad the store smelled for months because of a bathroom issue. I'm recommending to all my construction worker buddies that we eat elsewhere.

Captain D's customer service

The Concord NC location was an absolute 🌉🌃 nightmare to say the very least!They refused to give my 77 year old mother a senior citizen discount, charged us $20.42 for two southern style 🎏 fish plates.!My mother ordered a senior coffee and water the cashier brought her a small tea and then told her she didn't charge her for the coffee she ordered.We requested a second time to the cook she said that will be $1.99! Needless to say they simply wouldn't bring my 77 year old mother her coffee under any circumstances😒😬! You'd honestly thought she was trying to get a golden cup of coffee!Then the cook came out with the wrong order of 🐟🐡🐠 fish and argued with me about what I had ordered. Then brought my order out and slammed it on our table!😩😨😬😱😳 I couldn't eat it it was hard as a rock you could have knocked a WWE wrestler out with it! I became so deathly ill inside the restaurant I wanted to hurl!My 77 year old mother was hurting so severely in her heart I thought I was going to have to call 911!They went completely out of Way's to be nice to thier other customers it was unreal IMO I think they were racist because they treated everyone else with respect and dignity! honestly in 44 year's of Life or my mom's 77 year's of Life have we ever been THAT DISRESPECTED OR DEGRATED !We felt like third class Titanic Passengers and after that God awful experience I experienced today I literally wanted to be Jack Dawson 😨😩😳😭!I'm praying 🙌 for these ladies safety because if they treat any other humans like the 2 piece's of 💩they honestly treated us like the out won't be as good 😨😩We visit Captain D's two plus time's per week and getting treated like Lil 🐶🐕🐩 wasn't what I expected to happen on this December 12, 2017, It's normally the gentleman cook who treats me like 💩 believe it or not he was actually nice and pleasant and treated me like a human today .They could all take notes 🎵🎶 from Norma at the Monroe NC location!She goes completely out of her way to accommodate us and treat us with the dignity and respect we must deserve! She's always smiling asking us how we are and even brings our food to us!Now this precious * 👼* makes you feel welcomed !The worker's @ the Concord NC location could take a few tips off her!You couldn't pay me a billion dollars 💸💰💲to step foot in Concords location ever again as it most definitely left a bad tatse in my mouth!
