“Tudors Biscuit World is a one of a kind Appalachian experience. You simply can't find better biscuits or country fare. You can only find these in West Virginia though so if you are ever traveling through the state be sure to visit one. The Mountaineer and the Duke are my favorites.“

“We had lunch on Saturday and Samantha H. was our server. Couldn't have ask for better service. We sat at one of the tables in front of bar to watch football games. She checked on us multiple times and made sure to ask if we needed another drink or anything else. You are lucky to have her working there. Keep up the great work.“

“This is my most favorite place to eat. I had taken my friend there to eat for her birthday. We were served efficiently and quickly. Our order was to perfection. The server was the one I always like to get when I go there because she is so kind and generous. If I need anything while I am seated after I have been given my order, she happily retrieves it for me. She conversed with my friend about it being her birthday, and wished her a happy one, then opened the door for us when we were ready to leave as my friend had her rolator, and I had my cane. We talked several days about that delightful dinner, and how much we loved to go to Captain D's. Let me also mention the restroom was clean, and that was a plus for us too. What an enjoyable evening to remember and talk about in the future. Make sure you try a fresh baked potato sometime with your meal. They are delicious, and come with butter and sour cream! COME SOON AND ENJOY A RELAXED EVENING WITH DELICIOUS FOOD,AND GREAT SERVICE! LET ME ALSO MENTION FROM TIME-TO-TIME WE OFTEN ENCOUNTER A SITUATION WHERE WHEN WE LEAVE WE HAVE MADE A FRIEND OR TWO, OR RAN INTO A FRIEND WE HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A LONG TIME. This is why I love Captain D's too. It's where you meet friends and eat delicious food...ENJOY!!!

“Abi is wonderful! She is an asset to your restaurant. I actually just changed my review to reflect her superior service, as my last review was quite low due to service. The manager must be doing something right to be attracting such good employees.“
