| - To me, Cappy's Cafe is a nice, reliable, middle-of-the-road place to go for a good burger and a couple of beers on a summer evening. It is just your average bar (another reviewer described it as "the bar back home," and yes, exactly, it is,) and I love it for that.
Cappy's is nice and unpretentious, which is something that sets it apart from a lot of the rest of Walnut Street. Not far down the street, you can get a tiny morsel of ice cream for a stroke-inducing four dollars, but at Cappy's, you can spend a reasonable price on a reasonable meal.
So far, food-wise, I've tried the Alamo sandwich (I think that's what it's called,) and the bacon-and-bleu-cheese burger (Big Bleu?) Both of them were definitely satisfying, and the Alamo, with its fried chicken strips and barbecue sauce, was at the very least pretty good, even if it took a few years off the end of my life.
Getting outdoor seating is key, though. They air-condition the bejeezus out of the inside area, and one time we accidentally showed up on karaoke night, which made us REALLY glad we found a table outside. Karaoke night is great when you're expecting it, but when you're not, there are few fates worse.
Service is usually kind of slow as well, but the wait staff is nice. One waitress we had was a little thick, though, when it came to splitting our checks. Nobody paid what they actually owed that night, but we didn't want to fight it out with her.
All in all, Cappy's is a nice, unpretentious little place to grab some food. I'll definitely go back.
