It's easy for food quality to slip as the night gets later, but that definitely wasn't the case here. Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and delicious. We especially loved the pizza and, of course, the biscuits. We also tried a couple of cocktails, which weren't quite as impressive as the food. The real standout, though, was our server, Ivan. He bent over backwards for our large group, answered every question, and somehow managed to get every order right. He made the meal memorable and provided fantastic service from start to finish. I hope he knows how appreciated he is, and someone should give that man a raise! Great late-night food, great service, and a perfect place to refuel after exploring the River Walk.

Our Server Samara (I believe was her name she never introduced her self but had a gold chain with what I assume was her name) was very inexperienced and had a mouth on her, passive aggression is a poor trait in food service. We were a large group and she obviously could not handle a party that large and someone should have come in to help her. Food was very low quality. Street tacos were somewhat ok, but steak plates were over cooked, birria burnt and greasy, chips were horrendous and old, just not great food with subpar service. The Vibe of the place was off since we entered. The 20% grat is customary, I know, however, every place that does it warns patrons of it through their servers. SHE DID NOT and some of my family members ended up tipping on top of the mandatory grat. Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen, but this one is very low on quality and service.

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different.

Outlaw broke that streak and gave me a very special birthday. The food was all great but the service was even better. Our bartender/server Natalie treated us like we were longtime friends or family members. Chef was great as well, always checking in on us and making sure we were having a good time. I don't personally eat dessert or any sugar so it was awesome to see the staff not giving up and finding a creative solutions to make sure I got something special with a candle for my birthday.

Everything was well timed, except when we were trying to get the check. All the staff seemed to be kind and professional. The patio is lovely, but I imagine it can be uncomfortable in the summer heat. Now for the food. Overall it was good. I found some components spectacular, but felt like some lacked seasoning. I was looking forward to the arancini the most. The croquet itself was crunchy and that cheese was definitely telefono style, but needed some seasoning. The pomodoro was tasty, but the basil made it fabulous. Y'all know how I feel about basil. The ravioli was filled with spinach, mushroom, and ricotta with a brown butter sage sauce. It was delicious and the portion was perfect. My favorite part though was the crunchy shitaki "bacon"and butternut squash. I would take a bowl of that in a heartbeat and would absolutely go back for a butternut squash main dish. It was perfectly roasted and full of flavor and those shitaki were amazing. The preserved lemon vinaigrette over lettuces was phenomenal. Incredible fresh flavor. Desert was chocolate torte and sour cream ice cream. The ice cream was the absolute star of the show. The sweet vanilla was incredible. I sampled the halibut and shrimp and it was perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to try other offerings.

I used to go very often. They're a little on the pricier side but so worth it. It's beautiful inside and outside. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I won't wait so long again to go back. My go to meal the is Howard. Scrambled eggs with crab topped with a lobster tail. So so good. Even the little bread/muffin basket they serve you before the meal is great. Lemonade is delicious. My son had pancakes and bacon and inhaled them. His mother always gets the pot roast. She wasn't disappointed. I will say although the gumbo is decent, it's not the best I've had. The roux is very dark which gives it a slight burned taste. But the flavors are there. All in all love Cappy's. I won't make the mistake of staying away so long again.

Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were seated. Our waiter was incredibly short and came across as rude throughout the meal. When we asked for recommendations or some of his favorite menu items, his response was essentially, "I don't know what you like," rather than offering any guidance. The service somehow felt rushed even though the food itself came out slowly, and there were very few check-ins during the meal. When it came time for dessert, we asked to see a dessert menu and were simply told, "It's on the menu you have," which summed up the lack of hospitality we experienced at the table. I ordered the Mustang Chicken, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The chicken was fatty, full of tendon, and tasted more like a frozen piece of chicken that had been dropped into a deep fryer than something I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a great atmosphere and our experience at the bar started off so well. Unfortunately, between the table service and the quality of the food, I would not recommend Cappy's based on this visit.

This isn't flashy it's honest, bold, and unapologetically Texan. The food lands like a punch: brisket smoked to perfection, chili‑glazed short ribs that demand attention, and Gulf red snapper with chorizo crust that makes your mouth sit up. Sides and sauces? No filler, just full‑flavored allies. The drinks are sharp, strong, and right. Mezcal Old Fashioneds, tequila‑bright margaritas, and cocktails that feel like they've seen the world but still know how to have fun. Service doesn't hover it knows the rhythm. The River Walk hums outside, music drifts in, and every bite and sip feels like it belongs to this place. Five stars. Bold, beautiful, and unmistakably Texas.

I'm a sucker for local "click bait 'best of'" lists...I can only assume that's where I found out about it. Driving by, it's got that hole in the wall, run down look. Ordinarily , that doesn't bother me, but seeing it in person ...I must admit I probably wouldn't normally go. But come on! How can you resist the large banner or front reading, " Home of the original jalapeño chicken fried steak". So, in I went to eat with friends. The place, despite the outside, is as homey inside as I can remember anyplace being. Every single person there was as nice as could be and service was exceptional. Love the old school diner vibe! Yep, I tried the jalapeño chicken fried steak and it was phenomenal. Not too spicy, just the right amount of jalapeño. I found it just the right size for the cost, too. Borderline disappointed in the mash potatoes. They could have been hotter and they had that -end of the batch - taste and feel. Overall, not a huge fan of the bathrooms being outside, but that's part of the charm, maybe? Don't let the four stars fool you, because if this joint was more convenient, I'd definitely be going again.
