A+ service and delicious food. We come here semi regularly and it’s always on point. Would highly recommend Asher as a server as well - we’re kinda of complicated with a food allergy and two young kids and he was incredible and quick. Great stuff!

Cute place, delicious food and the Rum Runner drink was awesome! We had the warm pretzel for the appetizer (warm honey mustard & beer cheese were yummy!) We ordered the cheeseburger/fries and meatloaf/mashed potatoes (they're "signature dish").

If you’re looking for a place that blends comfort, style, and amazing food, Cap City Diner is a must-visit! From the moment you walk in, the retro yet modern diner atmosphere makes you feel both nostalgic and welcomed. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, making you feel like more than just a guest.
The menu is loaded with comfort-food classics elevated to a whole new level. The meatloaf and fried chicken are legendary, while their burgers are juicy and perfectly prepared. Don’t skip dessert—the rich chocolate cake and seasonal pies are worth saving room for. Portions are generous, prices are fair for the quality, and everything tastes like it’s made with care.
Another highlight is the bar area, which is perfect whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or settling in with friends. The bartenders are welcoming and provide wonderful service, and the drink menu is just as impressive as the food. From creative cocktails to a solid wine and beer selection, it’s a great place to unwind and enjoy yourself.
Cap City Diner is also a great spot for any occasion: brunch with family, a casual date night, happy hour at the bar, or just a fun meal with friends. The atmosphere strikes a balance between laid-back and lively, making it enjoyable for groups or solo diners alike.
Overall, Cap City Diner offers a perfect combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, a great bar, and a vibrant vibe. It’s one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Cap City Diner is a retro-cool diner setting with great spins on classic American dishes. It's an elevated, modern take on a classic American diner. It blends the comfortable, welcoming atmosphere of a traditional diner with a more contemporary and polished style. It leaves you with a comforted feel like you just left Grandma's kitchen table. A must is the blue cheese chips appetizer, they never disappoint and are so good. All of the food looks great, I got a Black Bean burger with fries and a Blue moon. My sister got the fish sandwich with sweet potato fries and said it was great! Explore the menu but please get the Blue cheese chips!
We walked in at 8:30p and got a seat right away it was a little loud but we could still talk and hear the waitress. She was great and did a fantastic job.
