    Burgers are always very, very good and this was no exception. Though this time a lunch order for three burgers took 35-40 minutes from when we ordered in a half empty restaurant, soft drinks were flat (two attempts) and staff seemed pretty indifferent. It’s usually better.

    Great location but long wait times for the food. For a $26 burger it shouldn't be cold. Hard to find a server, nobody refilling the water glasses. Steak overcooked and cold. Not a great experience

    We usually love Capital Burger but our last experience was not good. Restaurant was very warm inside and very busy. Our drinks took about 30 minutes to come out because they were out of bar glasses! I can’t imagine the capitol grille or capitol burger being so low on bar glasses. And then my Stoli Doli came out in a broken martini glass! The server seemed not to care very much. Overall poor experience.

    The abundance of fruit flies are repulsive. This is the 2nd consecutive time this has happened at this location. I will not be returning for a 3rd time.
