Captain Steve’s

Unfortunately this bad experience left an unprofessional air and aggravation. Placed four take out orders and after the order was placed at 1:43PM, the server on the phone announced that they closed at 2: PM! We called back after this was said, and we were hung up on, and we asked why order was taken and then time given? Her response was they open back at 4: PM. We canceled orders and was hung up on, again. Don’t think we will frequent this business in the future.

It’s been awhile since I have been here, but the crab legs were always fantastic. Family friendly restaurant with the best service. The complimentary hushpuppies are delicous and fresh.
If you want good home cooking and delish seafood or fish, I will always recommend this place!

Went on the clients recommendation. Loved the hush puppies and our server Kiki. She did a great job! My portions were huge! Loved my food and everything else. Will come back!

This place was awesome! The portion sizes were great compared to the price you pay per platter. I went during Mother’s Day weekend and was able to be seated and served in a fairly timely manner. Food was very tasty, seasoned, and fresh! If you’re looking for good seafood, be sure to stop here! They also have a lot of seating for large parties. P. S. I’m from a beach area so I know good seafood :)

I have been stopping in at Captain Steve’s for MANY years. The food quality is always great and they herd the people through there quickly.
Sometimes it does get very loud as they are set up to cater to large groups/​families.
No matter as you will get some great Fish, Shrimp, Hush puppies, Steaks, Chops or Chicken! Don’t think that just because they are a seafood place that the Steaks, Chops or Chicken won’t be good because you would be WRONG!
If you see a line, don’t let it bother you because they are fast at getting you in and seated.

Pros– Good food and good service. Waiter and waitress worked hard for our party of 16. This is obviously a good fish camp with all the cars in the parking lot and folks inside. Fried oysters, flounder, and scallops were good. Deviled crab was excellent! Slaw and hush puppies were very good.
Con– I ordered collard greens as my side and they were terrible. Not going to say they are out of a can… I don’t work in the back so I don’t know.

Fish camp at its finest! Come hungry the portions are insane! My family of four ate off 2 platters & still had leftovers. The hush puppies are great! I know this will sound strange but my favorite on the menu is the bacon wrapped filet mignon.

If you like lots of fried seafood this is your place. They also have broiled. I like the fried and for the price you can eat at least 2 meals with the left overs. They pile it on. I always get the oysters and scallops fried which I like and eat on it a couple times afterward as its so much food. If you like fried this is your place.

Bad service I want be going back! I think I’ll stick with Mayflower much better service.

Me and wifey ate here last night. She ordered the Java Jeff Salad with Shrimp and I had a pick 3 with Perch, Chicken Fingers and Jumbo Shrimp. Like always the food was good but IMO the servings seem to have gotten smaller. If you are a seafood lover you will LOVE this place. When you pull up to the restaurant sometimes the amount of people waiting is overwhelming but they get you seated pretty fast.

Captain Steve’s is the place to go for very large portions of quality fried seafood. My go to dish is the Fried Catfish Strips but on my most recent visit I also had the Fried Baby Shrimp. The Fried Catfish were flakey and flavorful with crispy breading and the Baby Shrimp were tender and crispy. I had the «small» portion which I could not finish. The hush puppies are also very good.

I had the filet of perch and fried oysters and man… They were great! Great portion size for 14 bucks. Even though I got fried it wasn’t greasy. I got it to go but the place looked pretty cool to eat at! The fries and hush puppies were good. I will return.

Huge, packed, bustling place good for families. FRIED seafood place, like at the beach. Fattening but a great fun splurge. Extremely fast service.

This is the place to go for a mess-​a-​fried seafood and I do mean a big mess! Portions are huge so unless you’re looking for the biggest meal of your life, order the ½ portion. A 3.5 would be a more apt score but well… That’s not an option.
Pros: consistently good. It’s not GREAT seafood. It’s good. Everything I’ve had fried has been good. My fave by far is the fried clams and I order them often. Carry out is quick and orders are always right. Inside dining we’ve always had quick, prompt and friendly service. Definitely kid friendly.
Cons: broiled options aren’t very tasty. Would like more options for sides Like mashed potatoes, veggies, etc. also a sub for hush puppies (for us no onion eaters) like cornbread, roll, or biscuit.
They roll through the people by keeping the menu consistent, which is fine — there are plenty of options. A place I visit often and enjoy.

Three of us ate there on Sunday 9÷6÷15. Two of us ordered the seafood platter. The other ordered cooked shrimp. The platters were just ok. The scallops tasted gritty which means they were not rinsed well enough. The entire platter was seasoned with a mixture of spices, which was, at times, overwhelming. The small popcorn shrimp was good but the large shrimp was cooked too long as they were tough. The stuffed crab was very good, while the flounder & oysters were terrible. The hush puppies were the highlight of the meal. The salad was very good & the sweet potato was good except there was an upcharge for selecting it. It was served with cinnamon & honey butter. The French fries were selected on the other two meals & they were just ok. Two of us had tea, which was very good, and the other had coke.
Service was ok but it could have been better. The girl brought our check & just plopped it on the table never asking if we needed anything else & she left. We had to flag her down to ask for a box. The noise level was horrible especially the table of 6 near us. They were so loud you could not talk over them. When they left we finally were able to talk but the level of noise was still loud.
Overall, I would not return to this restaurant again. Too much was wrong with the food & service to spend $ 56.00 again.

I like the concept of Captain Steve’s. A wide variety of seafood, both healthy and not so healthy. We had a great waitress, Taylor, and did enjoy our dinner.
A couple of things I didn’t like. One, it was incredibly noisy. I couldn’t hear my husband at all and he was right across from me. So if you have kids, or a noisy party, this is THE place for you. I just didn’t care for it.
Second, the portions are enormous. I mean just huge. No one needs that much food. On the plus side you get a lot of food for not a lot of money.
My husband had the snapper and enjoyed it. I had the boiled shrimp, cold and liked it as well. You get a big basket of hush puppies too, which is nice, but again, so much food.
We’ll likely not go back, but I do recommend it for large parties and families with young kids.

When the parking lot is full, that is a good sign! I ordered the large platter with clam strips, boiled jumbo shrimp and the catfish strips with onion rings.
You better bring an appetite if you get the large platter. The catfish strips were a good size. The clam strips are breaded and you get a lot! The Sweet Tea was pretty good too!
The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is clean, there is adequate space between each table.

Best calabash style — fried seafood house in or around town. Get here early and expect a short wait to get a table. Once you are stated, you will not wait long for delicious hush puppies followed by great big giant plates of fried seafood!
Enjoy

The restaurant was bright and clean. The place was packed. Portions were well sized. The hush puppies with honey were nice. We had 2 sides — coleslaw and potato salad which were tasty. I enjoyed the bbq platter. My husband got Steve’s platter and felt it was too much breading. Our biggest concern was the condiments sit on the table all day. The seafood isn’t real high end, but overall we had a nice meal.

You know it’s a good sign when there are so many office groups lunching together. Even though they were really busy at high noon, we were seated quickly. Before my butt had settled in the booth, a basket of hot hush puppies with honey butter was brought to the table. They were a lot smaller than the average hush puppy, but wow were they good! Our orders were taken quickly by our friendly waitress.
A couple of minutes after ordering, my salt and pepper catfish filets arrived. I ordered French fries and cole slaw as my sides. The fish was flavorful and crispy, I was worried that they would be soggy. The fries were good too, the cole slaw was average. The glass of water was quenching. That is all.
