Captain Tom's: Reviews & Ratings
Hands down better than red lobster. The oysters, scallops, shrimp and devilled crab are amazing. Our server Tristan was attentive and professional. Very pleasant experience. It was our 1st time and we will definitely be back.
Good food..great service..great ambiance. Looked like a traditional fish camp vibe. Shrimp and Whitefish platter was cooked to perfection.
It had been awhile since I'd visited this very good Southern style seafood restaurant, an institution in Kernersville since 1972. We both had a lunch special - Popcorn Shrimp and Flounder for $9.99, which comes with slaw, hush puppies, was and 1 side. This is a lot of food, and remains a nice value meal, especially in the current market place. And this is true even though the size of the special has shrunk - there was a single piece of fish where there used to be 3! The menu here is varied, with soups, salads, and country cooking choices - but this is first and foremost, a fried seafood stronghold - and they do it well.

I'm a country girl and a sucker for catfish. Let's just say Captain Tom's does some great fried catfish and they don't skimp on portions. I usually order a small fried catfish plate. It has 2 large pieces of catfish and then you get to choose 2 sides and it's served with hush puppies. They are always busy but I've never had to wait long to be seated. I've never had a bad server. Last week I ordered my usual with a baked potato and upon unwrapping it I found the potato was bad. They did nothing to the potato it was just a bad one. I asked my server for a replacement and she was more than happy to fix the issue and I had a new potato within mins. It can get a little noisy but that's because everyone is conversing and enjoying their food. All in all a great place to grab a bite.
I used to be a regular patron at this great seafood restaurant. Great customer service and if you enjoy a good, fresh hot shrimp Po'Boy, get your order in today! First off the bread is fresh and soft, the shrimp is crispy and hot. It's delicious and the hush puppies are delicious!
