Captain D's Seafood Franchise Overview

About Captain D's Seafood

At Captain D’s, we’re dedicated to serving freshly prepared seafood at reasonable prices, all while offering the best dining experience in the industry—and we work hard to make sure that these values shine through in every customer interaction. We’ve had 50 years to perfect our recipe for success, which combines great food and great value with even better service, and this focus on serving quality seafood in a warm and inviting atmosphere has helped us grow to over 500 restaurants since 1969.      

Franchise History

For over 50 years, Captain D’s has continued to reel in a larger share of the fast-casual space by offering something no other franchise does. We’ve sustained long-term success while disrupting the market with a one-of-a-kind model in an underserved category. Our hybrid concept blends casual dining quality, QSR pricing, and a fast-casual service experience—making serious waves across the industry.

Captain D’s is more than just seafood. With the recent addition of chicken to our menu, we’re appealing to an even broader base of guests without losing our core identity. It’s this fresh approach that has earned us national recognition, including a spot on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 as the #1 seafood franchise.
