Fried Caplinger Sanwich was very tasty, not super fishy, nice and flaky. Buffalo chips (just circle french fry chips) and baked beans were delicious. We ate outside in the outdoor seating area which was a nice set up of picnic tables under a decorated canopy. Great prices for the amount and quality!

This location features a plethora of seafood and other delights including all the fixings to make at home. We ate in the restaurant which was very casual dining and were served by an incredibly efficient, friendly and professional staff who clearly knew what they were doing. I highly recommend this restaurant as an outstanding example of a seafood restaurant away from the beach. They were generous with their portions and I just loved my half and half fried shrimp grilled shrimp Bay seasoned entree. Larry was particularly attentive and the other staff members were friendly and warm. Outstanding flavors, outstanding selection, and very good pricing; go to Caplinger's and forget the rest.

We recently stopped in at Caplinger's (Greenwood, IN) and we were EXTREMELY pleased with our dinner. We shared a meal of fried perch, hush puppies, fried okra, along with some red beans & rice. YUMMM-Oh-YUM!! Everything was cooked to perfection!! Serving size was enough to bring a little home for lunch the next day. As we were leaving, we spotted a refrigerated case that contained freshly made tuna salad and many other options. We brought home a container of the tuna salad and oh my goodness . . . . our taste buds were dancing with DELIGHT. We will DEFINITELY RETURN, as everything we had from Caplinger's was SUPERB!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The Caplinger's fish sandwich is good. The service, the fresh cook was great also. The seafood counter has so many types to choose. And remember they will cook it for you for a small fee. Yummy!

Tim is so enthusiastic and passionate about the product that is sold at Caplinger's. The dinners my wife and I experienced were excellent. Caplinger's Special which included Basa. I enjoyed the Grouper dinner. Hush puppies were excellent, the buffalo fries were crisp with a soft middle. My wife loves the colored greens and I chose the red beans and rice. Everything was very tasty. We will be back again!
