Captain Tom's Seafood: Reviews & Ratings

A great, unassuming, family oriented seafood & steak house that won't break the bank!! Hushpuppies and onion rings are yummy , the Seafood is succulent and delicious, and the chicken ...OMG!!! Fresh, hand-breaded, and fried to perfection Have not tried the beef , but will give it a try next time. Service is fantastic!! Only downer for me was the deviled crabs , only found one little piece of recognizable crab meat in two orders! Lots of flavor and plenty of breading, if you are into that.... If you're around Petersburg/Colonial Heights and Jones'n for some Seafood, stop in and give them a try! You'll be glad you did !!

This was mine and my husband's first time eating out since the pandemic started. So, it's been years. Our daughter asked where we would get food or eat out at if we could. Automatically we both said, "Captain Tom's." She made arrangements, paid for our dinner as an Anniversary surprise and we were not disappointed. Food was really good. Even had left overs to bring home. So happy we chose to eat there. It was as good as we remembered.

The food was really good, waitresses were attentive without being bothersome. Great portions that are well worth the money. I had a combo dish with founder, shrimp, oysters, hush puppies, fried okra,and onion rings. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. If you're hungry and want affordable satisfying food, go here.

The complimentary hush puppies are always a hot and fresh, I like their daily special of popcorn shrimp and fish dinner. Fried oysters, scallops, and catfish are tasty, the onion rings weren't seasoned this time. Most servers are good. Overall is good mom and pop seafood restaurant.

We arrived at opening time. There was a gaggle of people you could tell were regulars. We got seated quickly. Our server promptly greeted us and took our drink order. After getting our drinks, she gave us time to read over the menu. We both went with the daily special. It was a fried fish and shrimp with two sides. I got the fries and baked potato and he got the apple sauce and green beans. Everything came out at the same time and hot and fresh. Hushpuppies came with the special. Everything was delicious. The tartar sauce was notably delicious. I'm not usually a fan, but it was great here. Our drinks were refilled without asking. We were even asked if to go boxes would be needed before asking. Our server was thoughtful and unlike others in the immediate area. We might need to make this a regular spot. For a Seafood lunch under $30 for two people, and we took home leftovers.... I'd say this is a great place to come and bring others.
