Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of St. Ann, Missouri, Captain D's offers a delightful escape for seafood lovers and families craving classic American fare with a coastal twist. This inviting fast-casual seafood restaurant specializes in southern-style, batter-dipped fish and a diverse lineup of fresh seafood favorites, making it a standout destination for comfort food enthusiasts.

The menu boasts a tempting selection of appetizers like golden mozzarella sticks and crispy jalapeno poppers, perfect for sharing or starting your meal with a burst of flavor. For those who love seafood variety, the Deluxe Seafood Platter is a must-try – it pairs two flaky fish fillets with six shrimp and seafood-stuffed crab shells, accompanied by hush puppies and your choice of two sides, offering a satisfying medley of textures and tastes. The 2 Piece Fish & 6 Piece Butterfly Shrimp Meal combines tender, perfectly battered fish fillets with succulent shrimp, ideal for anyone seeking a hearty and fulfilling dish.

Family gatherings are well-catered with generous options like the 10 Piece Fish Family Meal or the 14 Piece Chicken Family Meal, each served with their signature hush puppies and side dishes that bring a comforting homestyle touch. The portions here don’t just fill the plate—they fill you up with generous servings that celebrate bounty and flavor.

The dining atmosphere at Captain D’s St. Ann location is warm, welcoming, and spotless. Customers have noted the friendly and attentive staff who elevate the experience beyond just a meal. One reviewer fondly shared how the cashier braved the chilly weather to check on her and her party, a testament to the genuine hospitality that makes guests feel truly valued.

The food here is a symphony of crispy, flaky, and mouthwatering textures—imagine biting into a perfectly golden fish fillet that flakes on your fork, the hush puppies piping hot with a slightly sweet, tender crumb, and dipping clam strips that are packed with savory goodness into the restaurant’s signature dippin’ sauce. Even side dishes offer plenty of heartiness; four full-sized corn on the cob halves and generous servings of buttery broccoli bring balance and freshness to the hearty seafood offerings.

While some find the vegetable sides a bit on the pricey side, the overall quality, portion sizes, and friendly service deliver a satisfying dining experience that keeps customers coming back. Whether you prefer to dine in the bright, clean, and family-friendly space or opt for the convenient drive-thru, Captain D’s makes it easy to indulge in classic seafood comfort food crafted with care.

For anyone scouting a reliable seafood spot that blends affordability, family-focused portions, and a genuinely warm atmosphere, Captain D’s on St Charles Rock Road stands ready to welcome you with piping hot, flavorful dishes and a smile.

The store was clean and well lit. All tables were stocked, bathroom was maintained and employees were absolutely the nicest ever! It was frigid cold and we sat out front trying to decide if we were going in or using their drive-thru. They do offer both convenient options! We sat out there long enough that their sweet cashier ventured into the cold to make sure we were ok and didn't need anything. I'm not used to such gregarious and warm personalities this close to the big ol city! I felt the need to come back and edit this as I was in a hurry before. Never thought anyone would read it. My husband and I both ordered a chicken and fish meal. Fries for him and okra for me. The poor chicken had seen better days from the looks of it (it tasted fine!) but we were there right at close of business. For a business to sell multiple seafood items AND chicken and vegetable items and EVERYTHING NOT SMELL AND TASTE LIKE FISH.... I don't know if that feat is luck, skill, trade secret, magic (??) but they stand alone at Captain D's to be able to cater to the seafood lover AND the person who doesn't like the taste. I'm not sure how this works because I makes catfish at home in February of 2009 and to this day, you just can't trust my oven with a pie. Thank you to Captain D's for their conscientious, kind employee, their good hot food and warm, clean establishment on a freezing evening and food that's both pleasant to the eye and mouth! Your attention to detail definitely shows on every level. We live in Belleville Illinois and frequent the Captain D's there as well but this St Ann location is certainly a favorite!!

To pricey for the size/amount of vegetables sides you get. (my vegetarian options) I bought a small okra (12 pieces), corn on the cob and broccoli (4 pieces) for 19.00 and some change. :(

I went here to pick up some food for my friend. I went through the drive through and the service was prompt, friendly and professional. I ordered the 10 PC fish meal with fries and corn as the sides. Since I am not used to ordering from here I didn't realize how big the portions were. I was very pleased to see that there were 4 full sized corn on the cob included as a side. I was expecting 4 half of cobs and so I ordered two extra cobs. Anyway, I did pay a little over $40 for the food, but it truly was worth it. The food was made fresh and it was delicious. It fed a family of four plus there were left overs. I will be returning soon.

Enjoyed the Wild Alaskan Salmon Chesapeake with Broccoli. Food was excellent. Service got 4 stars because the speaker was almost inaudible.

We got this food here because the St Charles Captain D's was closed again. The food was fine here, but I placed the order before I left St Charles & I still had to wait a while for it. The food was only warm when we ate it, but I blame that on the St Charles location being closed again.
