A Warm Welcome and an Unforgettable First Experience!
I had the pleasure of visiting Captain J’s Chicken and Fish on M59 in Macomb, and let me just say — this place is doing something right, especially with incredible team members like Shelby and Monique at the helm.
From the moment I walked in, both of them greeted me with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. They didn’t just take my order — they engaged, shared their knowledge of the menu, and created such a welcoming atmosphere that I felt completely at home.
What really stood out was their ability to connect with me as a customer. I mentioned that I’d never tried catfish before, and instead of brushing it off, they both took the time to explain the flavor, texture, and even shared what makes it a popular choice. Their passion for the food and pride in their workplace shone through in every word. And you know what? I tried the catfish — and loved it.
It’s rare these days to find people who make you feel like more than just another customer. Shelby and Monique are two strong pillars representing Captain J’s with class, kindness, and confidence. Their positive energy and willingness to guide a customer into new territory with ease and comfort truly made my visit unforgettable.
If you’re thinking about trying something new, or just want to feel seen and welcomed, this Captain J’s location is the spot — and Shelby and Monique are the reason why.

The Captain Jay's on Hall Rd. is the truth...Every time I visit this place it's the same consistency with the cooking and chicken..The chicken tenders be cooked right and not dried out..Always fresh grease too...The Captain Jay's in Roseville In front of Macomb Mall is garbage. Don't even waste your time or money going there..take that extra drive up to Hall Rd. because you'll be glad you did. The service is always fast to. That Captain Jay in Roseville is always short cutting the food on taste and size (see pic below). The left side is Roseville and the right side is Hall Rd...so you tell me yourself. Good job (Hall Rd) Captain Jay's , I'll stick with you guys from now on...thanks for the delicious chicken tenders that's always fresh and cooked right...

Absolutely not good food, bland, no flavor ( I don't want to know what they used to fry it in). Bought a small combo order of chicken wings and shrimp to try for first time. It didn't sit well with us at all. (My husband spent the night in the restroom). I ate very little so I got lucky. The service was terrible. The guy at the counter didn't even speak. I could tell he didn't want to be there. Service was -0. Atmosphere=-0. The guy at the counter could have cared less with his poor attitude and LACK OF SOCIAL SKILLS. He put the food on the counter turned around walk to the back and never said goodbye have a nice day nothing. Waited about 15 minutes for the food and I was the only customer in the store. Never going back. Don't waste your money. 🤢🤮

This location has done a complete turn around! The quality and freshness of the food used to be so bad plus the wait times.. but now, my food is always hot and fresh and is never undercooked or overcooked now. I’m so glad they got it together! I’ve been several times over the past few months! Highly recommend this location!
Thee BEST chicken ever ! Puts other places to shame ❤️ It's a small drive for us but worth it ! The one on Hall Rd near

The perch and shrimp had no taste. Perch was soggy and did not taste like fish, more like watered-down goo. Shrimp was not large and breading was awful. Will not be going back and will not recommend to anyone.
