The menu features a wide range of seafood options, including blackened tilapia, wild Alaskan salmon, shrimp, crab and even lobster, like lobster rolls and bisque.
Founded in 1969 as “Mr. D’s Seafood and Hamburgers,” the chain features made-to-order, wild-caught seafood from whole fillets.
The result has been growing loyalty among customers, highlighted by its status among the NRN’s 2017 Consumer Picks. That loyalty has generated a long string of same-store sales increases.
