⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Stacy Marie
The food is always excellent here! The wings and burger are my favorite! Especially the honey rocket wings. The meat they use for the burgers is excellent and I believe they get it from Hemps meat market. They are short staffed and considering that they still do an excellent job! I always know ahead of time what I want so I place my order immediately and it’s about a 20 minute wait. They have handled many birthday dinners for my family and yes it takes 20-40 min for the food with that size group, but we would still go even with the wait. Love the staff, they are super friendly!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Susan Palmer
Stopped in with my husband while doing the candlelight tours of Frederick. We both had the American hamburgers which were terrific, and could not have been any better. Large juicy, meat procured from a special butcher, good bun, simple but perfect. And the accompanying fries were thin and crispy- could be the best hamburgers in town. Service was good, a one man show on the quiet afternoon we went. Never rushed. Could use some help with the atmosphere but the Christmas tree helps.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — DAN MCCALL
One of the go to places for great food and good people in Frederick !! Give them a try you will not be sorry. Just remember good fresh made food takes a little longer so order an appetizer. They are great.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Will O
Have been attending this restaurant now for 2-3 years and can’t speak better on its food and customer service. Have to say that I am always surprised how much of a hidden gem it is as I normally go for lunch and it’s never busy. My go to dish is the cheesesteak and it does not disappoint as it’s served with fresh cut bottomless fries. He steak is nicely seasoned and the fries are always made to order. For the most part you can get anything on the cheesteak without paying an up charge for about 12 dollars and that is a solid price in this economy. Many thanks to Veronica and the kitchen staff as they are amazing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jobby Jones
Capital Crave is definitely worth a visit! The fresh cut fries and burgers are delicious. I would absolutely recommend the Cajun burger with the over easy egg added to it. My son really enjoyed his bacon burger as well. The staff was really friendly as well. We will certainly be back again soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Suzie
Shaina is an excellent server with a great personality. The food was tasty. The chicken soup was full of veggies and chicken. It was a bit peppery for my taste. The chicken sub was very tasty and plentiful. The crispy onion rings were delicious. Our first time but we will be back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — CrefloMack
Been hearing things about the wings so decided to stop in, we were the only ones in there and place was dead but wings were nice and crispy, reasonably priced, just could have used a little more sauce. Inside the VFW Lodge give them a shot if you're in the area.
