1st time going and last time going. Went on 3/4/22. Food warm, Oysters had a lot of breading. Flounder looked dark and tasteless. I prefer Mayflower and Carolina bbq. Service was ok had to ask 3 times for sugar for coffee. I really was disappointed in my 1st visit. Worst seafood ever. I really didnt see all the hype. It was 4 if is on a date night. We all had same review. I thought it was just me but we were all saddened.
I was in town for a concert and wanted some seafood and based on other reviews I picked Captain Stanley's, a good decision. Had broiled flounder and scallops with baked potato and slaw. The complementary hush puppies were delightful and a touch sweet. Great service we have no complaints and will go back.
Captain Stanley is a Raleigh eatery staple. This is the one place that could be counted on for great food, great prices, even greater people (staff) and best in class service!Service: This eatery opened it's window for phone and take out only orders when other places were locked up tight and didn't know how to adapt to changes. The staff practiced safety even when there was only a hand full of workers putting heat to the pots and good on the take out trays. Whole house cleaning three (3) times per day not including opening closings, double masks, head covers and double nitrile gloves for every person in the building no matter what their job was. Window staff changed masks and gloves after every 15 customers.Focus: This is the first time I've ever used the "Focus" rating but here goes. Captain Stanley's staff didn't do the above because they were scared of catching anything but fresh seafood. They did it because the hungry people of Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale and even Cary wanted something great to eat that would be safe to take home to our families. The focus was on the customers! This eatery has a long and strong history of servitude and nothing like COVID 19 was gonna break their stride.Some have said that they did it for the money. Well yeah!! That the other reward for being good at what you do. But check this out. Come closer cause I'm gonna tell you a secret. They didn't raise the price on a single menu item although one of their vendors charged them more for their goods. So, if you think they braved the elements, insults (there's always one a day. Was it you?) and COVID just for some money, then you might wanna just stay home and eat "couldaben good food".I highly recommend Captain Stanley's restaurant for lunch or dinner. Great place for a date or business meal but, I would ask for extra napkins on those occasions cause you will be licking your fingers.
I haven’t been here since I was a kid but tonight we decided to try it again. It was great. Our server Angie was so genuinely kind and made us feel just like regulars. We never went more than a few minutes without her checking in to make sure everything was good. The food was fresh and came out fast. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and provided excellent customer service. So happy to know this place is still doing well and has great southern food.
Me and my wife first Valentine’s together. Captain Stanley’s staff made it special. Now my wife wants to go once a week. Food was delicious atmosphere was very warm fun and family friendly.
Sam was a great server! The food was awesome
This was the best seafood restaurant that I have eaten at in the Raleigh, Garner area. The food was fresh and they give you plenty of food. I will be going back again.
Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Out server Sam was very professional and was super nice to his customers.
