  Mneh.  Fast food.  I should stipulate that even though I grew up in Key West and Milton, I don't really like eating fish.  I love to *fish*, but I'm not too wild about eating fish.  But when I do eat fish, I'd prefer it as either sushi, or deep-fried.  I occasionally forget how crappy Cap'n D's is and have to make another run.
  
  Seriously, more salt doesn't make a mediocre product taste better.  The last time that I went, the batter tasted like somebody had knocked over a pound of salt into the batter bowl (or tray...whatever).  Salt certainly is a flavor enhancer, but like beer or Jagermeister, there actually is a hazy point of diminishing returns.  Tone that crap down, Cap'n.
  
  The employees at this location are friendly and capable, and although the "rat in a maze, trying to find the cheese" set up is pretty dated, the place is clean.  As is standard most places now, you can refill your own drinks, if some jackwagon isn't loitering, trying to figure out what they had in their now-empty cup.  This happens to me all of the time here and nowhere else.  Maybe the salt disrupts neural processes.  I dunno.
  
  The D actually has some appealing stuff on the menu, but I'm a vinegarholic and never pass up an opportunity to ingest 3,000% of the RDA of sodium on the fried fish, just so I can drown it in malt vinegar.  I love that stuff, but only on french fries and fried fish.  
  
  One trip, I got shorted a hush puppy and didn't even realize it until one of the girls brought me out a cup that had three of them in it.  I was almost done with eating, but I sat there for almost 10 minutes until the little nuclear melt-down cores cooled off enough for me to eat.
  
  In short, pretty good deal and a change-up from standard fast food fare.  Worth a trip if you want relatively cheap ocean-type stuff.

  Super slow service. Employees on their phones and standing around while Im in the drive thru for 20 min. as I write this. Manager I suggest you pay more attention to what is going on behind the counter. If you have employees just standing around at least have them clean the fiĺthy place. I worked here ages ago and we all had pride in our store. That is definatly missing in this location now. Prob wont come back, its a shame because their chocolate cake is the

  Captain D's looks as though at one time it was kept up and cleaned. It's a shame how it has gone to waste. It is downright filthy. The tables, lamps, Windows, floors, walls, ceiling fans, and pretty much everything about this place looks grimy and crusty. It's basically equivalent to eating cheap sushi in a gas station. You just don't do that. The place was so filthy that I didn't feel comfortable eating the food. The entire building is like one big, old, crusty mustard stain. The employees looked so unhappy to be there, and the food was pitiful. The only reason I went here was because it was Lent and I couldn't eat meat. I will never eat here again. I wish Milton had some decent places to eat. Captain D's is just a disappointment. The sad thing is that if it was under good management, it would be kept up. Has the manager here ever heard of basic cleaning supplies?

  They do ok for a fast food restaurant, however the service is super slow. I also do not understand why they have a tip line on the receipt for the drive through. If I was sitting down and giving my order to a server I would understand but a fast food drive through?
