The food was good but she made the visit exceptional. When we return we will be asking if Makayla is working so we can sit in her section.“

“Mindy and her counterpart (didn’t get his name) were fantastic this morning. Sadly, it can’t be more than 60° in here. It’s 17° outside. And the employees aren’t able to wear jackets? Well, maybe management should fix the heat! At least let them wear something to keep them warm if you’re not going to have a safe work environment. Calling OSHA.“

“I'm a long time former Chili's corporate trainer so, I don't eat at Chili's anymore after eating at it so much previously!
But the menu has changed substantially. Food was great. Restaurant was clean. Service was okay. Not wowed but not bad. Sometimes a smile and being attentive goes a long way.
Food was really good though.“

“Ordered online for a 4:00 PM pickup on April 8, 2025 (Order #92, Online Order #1623683), and everything was ready right on time. The drive-thru service was super friendly, and the young lady who helped me was awesome—so polite and upbeat.

I don’t usually go to Captain D’s, but this visit might just change that. The food—Fish Sandwich, Oysters, and Fish & Shrimp—was seriously delicious. I’m already thinking about coming back soon!

v/r,
Dr. Ken King“

“Ordered wonton taco, queso and chips, classic combo (with barbecue chicken), and riblet platter with house salad and onion rings; one chocolate melt to share. Impressed the wonton tacos toppings were separated to keep taco crisp until eaten. Queso was spicy compared to other locations, but good. Chips light and crisp. Classic combo would have been 100%...but the dip had big chunks to where chips kept busting. Web site said salad dressings available included Thousand Island, but this location did not have it; other options weren't preferred, but made do. Onion rings cooked well. Dessert was standard. Food required hot, was hot. Cold food was cold. Under 15 minute wait during afternoon. Was greeted right away, but 8-10 minute wait to order. All staff were polite, friendly and kind.“
