Another Shreveport Restaurant Closes Doors for Good

More bad news in the restaurant world in Shreveport Bossier. This place has not been on my list of "go-to" restaurants because I am just not a fried food person. In fact, I have never been to a Captain D's, but I do know lots of people who love this place and really will miss those hush puppies.

Captain D's Closes Down Another Location in Shreveport Bossier

We got the bad news in October that Captain D's in Bossier City closed its doors for good. The business was located on Airline Drive and for awhile was thriving. And now we have learned the Captain D's on Youree Drive has also shut down permanently.

Do You Know the History of Captain D's Seafood

Captain D's Seafood Restaurant first opened back on August 15, 1969. Originally known as Mr. D's Seafood and Hamburgers, the eatery began in Donelson, Tennessee, with the revolutionary idea of selling seafood at reasonable prices. While many local restaurants have since adopted this concept, it wasn't enough to save the Bossier City location.
