According to the San Antonio Business Journal, the Nashville-based seafood chain Captain D’s is expanding to San Antonio, gearing up to debut a new outpost near the Lackland Air Force Base in early 2026.

“My business partners and I only invest in the best businesses based on research, experience, and performance and we feel Captain D’s fits that criterion,” franchisee Dave Peters, who will operate the location alongside Brian Clemens and Ruben Cardenas, shares in a press release.

“San Antonio is home to restaurants and food from all over the world and Captain D’s hand-crafted cooking is a great addition to the area’s rich culinary tradition,” he adds.

For readers who are unfamiliar with the chain, “Captain D’s was founded in 1969 and has a national presence with over 530 restaurants across 23 states. The chain is present in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and is now spreading to South Texas,” the Journal reports.

On the menu, locals can expect to find fried fish and oysters, grilled shrimp, and sides such as coleslaw, okra, and a loaded baked potato.

Stay tuned for updates.
