Pancakes were delicious and a good portion. Parking seems small but we were able to find a spot in the lot on a weekday morning. Service was cheerful and responsive. Ambiance was laid back and no fuss.

Excellent service. Super busy so plan to wait for a table unless you make a reservation which we did not know. Our first time trying this restaurant out. It was raining but still quite busy. Nice and cozy place to eat. The food is pricey for what I paid for compared to other breakfast restaurants I've been to. My monte cristo was recommended by server and was too dry and super greasy. I was only able to eat 1/4 of it. The steak and eggs was good and also chicken fried steaks. Would recommend this restaurant .

I always liked this cafe for their breakfast and lunch menu. So I thought I'd take my granddaughter here for a breakfast, she really likes this place too. She ordered the pancake special with a side of hash browns and extra egg. So much food she took some home. I had the the veggie skillet, so delicious, with a side of one pancake. Oh my goodness, that one pancake was eight dollars! The tab for our breakfast for was over $70 and damm that a lot. I know prices have gone up, but it's gonna be a while before I go back.

Great service. First time so maybe not the best reviewer. Hollandaise sauce was a bit bland, but the meal was good. Nice Bloody Mary.

I'm not a lover of country style gravy, but Cappy's has changed my mind. Their chicken fried steak is D-Licious and the gravy takes it over the top! And, I adore corned beef hash. In fact, I'll always order it if I see it on a menu. So far, Cappy's is one of the best I've sampled. Their side order of corned beef hash is an entire meal. If you like corned beef hash from a can (what I affectionately refer to as dog food hash) then you might not find this to your liking. However, if you enjoy homemade hash, like myself, you will be a fan of Cappy's. All of their breakfast items look tasty. Service was lacking on my first visit, but the food was worth the wait, and the manager was apologetic and accommodating after the fact. This restaurant is extremely busy on the weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. The location is ideal, even if it's drizzling outside.

We had $100 gift card because they knew that we were regulars at many different breakfast establishments. We heard that this would be a pretty good place and that can't be any further from the truth. The service was about the worst I've ever seen. It was our first time there and we let the waitress know it was our first time and asked her about the sides and she said just read the menu. We got up and walked out. We tried to go back another time and sat in a different section and the food and service were horrible. We gave it a third try by ordering food to go and there's literally no flavor and the food looks like it was cooked by a 10-year-old. Stay away from this place.

Cappy's value proposition is best described as: Cold hard cash for lukewarm food. The kitchen phones it in (hours old breakfast potatoes with similar sausage and eggs). It's like our food was prepared before we arrived and still sat waiting for pick up well after we ordered it. The place has gone downhill while the prices have gone in the other direction. No thank you.

Forgot to take pictures of our plates! But I did take a photo of the mimosa and my breakfast, which was the breakfast Quesadilla. It was good. I chose soyrizo as my protein. Wasn't bad at all. Couldn't tell it wasn't meat. It was busy for a Saturday morning, so we decided to eat out in the back patio. Arrived about 9:30am. The patio was getting busy after we left. Our server was friendly.Parking: Not a lot of parking spaces. There is, I believe, a motel next to it. They allow parking for the cafe.

Great place for breakfast. Friendly service and good food. Parking is a bit of an issue but don't let that deter you.

Cappy's offered a mixed experience. The Machaca platter was mid & dry, and the beans lacked flavor. However, the chocolate chip pancake was enjoyable. Surprisingly, there was no wait on a Sunday afternoon.

Great breakfast place. Large portions, great food. Professional and prompt service despite them having a fully packed restaurant. On the pricy side but I feel all businesses have been forced to raise their prices so I don't ding them for that. Definitely would come back!

The food here was so great as well as the coffee. All the staff was also very friendly and constantly asking if we needed anything else even though they were busy. Would recommend the French toast, 10/10.
