Captain D’s Stirs Up Nostalgia with a Crunchy Comeback.

There’s something about fried fish and hush puppies that can take you right back to childhood.

For longtime fans of Long John Silver’s, a recent visit to Captain D’s in Burleson might feel like a trip down memory lane with a twist.

One local resident made the drive and came away impressed. The fish was crispy, the shrimp had the right crunch, and the hush puppies hit that perfect mix of crunchy and moist. Even the pickles, fries, and mozzarella sticks earned high marks. Cleanliness stood out, too, with a well-maintained space that didn’t feel dated, despite its years.

The experience didn’t just match old memories of LJS, it beat them. Friendly staff and fresh oil made everything feel a little brighter, a little tastier. For Benbrook folks wishing Captain D’s was closer, it might be worth the short drive for a satisfying seafood fix. And yes, the Camp Bowie West location also gets a solid vote of confidence.

Until someone brings one to Benbrook, it’s crunchies to-go from Burleson.
