Captain D’s Restaurant Overview

Captain D’s is one of America’s most popular fast-casual seafood chains, founded on August 5, 1969, in Donelson, Nashville, Tennessee. The “D” in the name honors the founder’s last name, Ray Danner. Today Captain D’s operates over 600 locations across 23 states, concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast, with its headquarters remaining in Nashville. Since 2017, the brand has been owned by Sentinel Capital Partners.

The restaurant built its reputation on affordable, whole-fillet seafood served in a casual setting — a direct contrast to the frozen, portion-controlled fish common at most fast-food chains. Captain D’s uses Pollock, Catfish, Tilapia, Salmon, and Whitefish as its primary proteins, with Shrimp, Clams, Crab, and Oysters rounding out the seafood menu. In 2007, the chain won an award for Best Menu Revamp, and it has continued to evolve with grilled meal lines, online-exclusive deals, and a growing rewards program.

Prices at Captain D’s range from $1.99 for a small add-on to $46.99 for the Family Sampler Meal, making it one of the most accessible seafood dining options in America. Most individual meals fall between $6 and $14, and family platters comfortably feed 4 or more. Compared to competitors like Long John Silver’s, Captain D’s stands out for using a flour-based batter (vs. cornmeal coating), offering a wider menu including grilled items and chicken, and maintaining a stronger loyalty program with points that never expire.

All meals come with your choice of two classic sides and hush puppies unless otherwise noted. The batter is a proprietary flour-based blend — lighter and crispier than the cornmeal coating used by most competitors, with subtle heat from cayenne and lift from baking powder.

All grilled items are fire-grilled with your choice of Blackened, Lemon Pepper, or Original seasoning, and served on a bed of rice with a breadstick instead of hush puppies.

Captain D’s Combos Menu

Captain D’s Combos are the quick-service section of the menu — sandwich-style meals perfect for a fast lunch or dinner on the go. Combo versions include a side and a beverage. The Giant Fish Sandwich is the single best-selling item at Captain D’s, featuring two batter-dipped fish fillets on a toasty bun with tartar sauce and shredded lettuce.

Captain D’s Senior Menu With Prices

Captain D’s has long been a favorite among senior diners, and many locations honor that with a dedicated Senior Menu and Senior Day discounts. The Senior Menu features smaller portions at reduced prices, designed for guests with lighter appetites and fixed-income budgets.

Who Qualifies

The Captain D’s Senior Menu is available for guests aged 62 and older. Most locations do not require ID verification, but availability varies by franchise. Always ask your local Captain D’s whether the Senior Menu is available before ordering.

Senior Day Schedule

Most Captain D’s locations host Senior Day specials on Wednesdays and Sundays. On these days, qualifying seniors (62+) can enjoy select meals at specially discounted prices, typically $4.99–$5.99 for an entrée with two sides and a drink. Some locations also offer a general senior discount of 10–15% off the regular menu every day.

Senior Menu Item	Approx. Price	Notes
Senior Batter Dipped Fish Meal (1 pc)	$4.99–$6.99	Smaller portion, includes sides and drink on Senior Days.
Senior Grilled White Fish	$4.99–$6.99	Grilled white fish only, no substitutions. Served on rice with a breadstick.
Senior Butterfly Shrimp Meal	$4.99–$5.99	Smaller shrimp portion with sides.
Senior Chicken Tender Meal	$4.99–$6.99	Two chicken tenders with one side.
Senior Catfish Meal	$5.99–$7.99	Hand-breaded catfish with sides.

Important notes on the Captain D’s Senior Menu: Prices and availability vary by location since many Captain D’s restaurants are independently owned franchises. Senior pricing cannot typically be combined with other coupons or app promotions — one discount per order. Delivery platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats use standard menu pricing and do not reflect senior discounts. For the best senior pricing, visit in person on Wednesdays or Sundays and ask the cashier about the Senior Day menu.

Captain D’s Gluten-Free Menu

Captain D’s does offer gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and egg-free menu items at all corporate locations, confirmed directly on their FAQ page. However, Captain D’s does not use the term “gluten-free” as a guarantee — the kitchen uses shared fryers and prep surfaces, so cross-contamination is possible. Guests with celiac disease should use caution and notify staff before ordering. For guests with non-celiac gluten sensitivity, the options below are generally safe choices.

Category	Gluten-Friendly Options
Grilled Proteins	Grilled White Fish, Grilled Tilapia, Wild Alaska Salmon, Grilled Shrimp Skewer — all grilled without breading.
Sides	Steamed Broccoli, Green Beans, Coleslaw, Corn on the Cob, Baked Potato (plain).
Beverages	All fountain drinks, tea, and lemonade are gluten-free.
Items to Avoid	All battered/breaded fish, butterfly shrimp, popcorn shrimp, clam strips, hush puppies, catfish, chicken tenders, and fried okra contain gluten.

Always inform your server or cashier about gluten sensitivity before ordering. The official Captain D’s allergen and nutritional information PDF is available at captainds.com/nutrition-pdf.

Captain D’s Vegetarian & Vegan Options

Captain D’s is primarily a seafood restaurant and does not offer dedicated vegetarian entrees. However, there are several vegetarian-friendly sides and options for those who want a plant-forward meal or simply want to reduce their seafood intake.

Item	Vegetarian?	Vegan? (as served)
French Fries	Yes	Yes (no dairy or egg)
Coleslaw	Yes	No (contains mayo/dairy)
Green Beans	Yes	Yes
Steamed Broccoli	Yes	Yes
Corn on the Cob	Yes	Yes
Baked Potato (plain)	Yes	Yes
Mac & Cheese	Yes	No (contains dairy)
Fried Okra	Yes	Yes
Hush Puppies	Yes	Check locally (some recipes contain buttermilk)

There are no vegan entrees on the Captain D’s menu. Grilled fish and shrimp are the closest options for pescatarians. For full vegan dining, Captain D’s is not the ideal choice — however, a side-only meal combining fries, green beans, broccoli, and corn is possible. Always ask staff about preparation methods, as some sides may be cooked with butter or in shared fryers.

Captain D’s Nutrition & Calories

Captain D’s publishes complete nutrition information for every menu item, including calories, fat, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, and sugar. The full Nutrition PDF is available at captainds.com/nutrition-pdf. Below is a quick reference for the most commonly ordered items.

Item	Calories	Protein	Sodium
Grilled White Fish Meal	180 Cal	25g	~600mg
Grilled Tilapia Meal	210 Cal	34g	~700mg
Wild Alaska Salmon Meal	230 Cal	31g	~750mg
2 Piece Batter Dipped Fish Meal	460 Cal	28g	~1,100mg
Giant Fish Sandwich	690–750 Cal	30g	~1,200mg
4 Piece Chicken Meal	730 Cal	48g	~1,400mg
Supreme Sampler Meal	1,180 Cal	55g+	~2,000mg
Seafood Feast (Family)	3,870 Cal total	Varies	Varies
Steamed Broccoli (side)	20 Cal	4g	~30mg
French Fries (side)	330 Cal	4g	~500mg
Loaded Baked Potato	400 Cal	10g	~600mg
Funnel Cake Stix	320 Cal	3g	~200mg

Smart ordering tips: Ordering grilled instead of fried saves 200–400 calories per entrée. Choosing broccoli or green beans over fries saves approximately 300 calories per side. Skipping the gallon lemonade (1,440–1,740 Cal) in favor of unsweetened tea (0 Cal) is the single biggest calorie-saving swap on the beverage menu.

Captain D’s Allergen Information

Captain D’s provides a comprehensive Allergens and Sensitivities Chart covering all nine major allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. This chart is available as a downloadable PDF at captainds.com/nutrition-pdf alongside the full nutrition guide.

Key allergen facts: Virtually all fried items contain wheat (gluten) due to the breading. Most fried items share fryers, meaning cross-contact with fish, shellfish, and wheat is likely even for items that don’t contain those ingredients directly. Guests with severe allergies to fish or shellfish should be aware that Captain D’s is primarily a seafood kitchen — complete avoidance of cross-contact cannot be guaranteed.

For specific allergen inquiries, contact Captain D’s directly at faq@captainds.com or review the allergen chart at captainds.com/nutrition-pdf before visiting.

Captain D’s Deals & Discounts 2026

Captain D’s doesn’t operate a traditional “weekly deals” schedule. Instead, value comes through several channels: online-exclusive pricing, the rewards app, rotating limited-time offers (LTOs), senior day specials, and occasional promo codes distributed via email, Valpak mailers, and social media.
