It was better than expected but attached to a hotel so you kinda get that vibe. Overall the food was good and no complaints with a great server. There was a group at the bar having a good time. Burgers and Chicken sandwiches were what we ordered. read more

Quaint little pub, nicely decorated. Sat at the bar, service was great and fast. Had the salmon with dill butter, the taste was great, fish could have been cooked a little more. read more

We came here after we tried another place in town that said it was open but wasn't. So we came in. Quaint place. Sat at a table. The smell in there was so very strong. It was the cleaner they used on the floor. I was hoping I would be nose blind soon. So our waitress came and she was sweet. Ordered some beer. Was good. We shared a burger cause she said it was hand pat-tied(which was not) and was a half pounder. Got fries. Ordered it medium....pink. Got it well done. We would have had her taken it back but we traveled for 7 1/2 hours and were hungry. The only saving grace was at least it was juicy. The restaurant was just ok for me. read more

Not a bad place to have a meal. Don't be deceived if you are looking at it via Google or Yelp. The restaurant is part of/in a hotel not a separate building. Very good selection of beers, definitely pick the stout. Reuben was pretty good. read more

Very tiny place. Thought it was more suppose to be like a bar ish but they are trying to hard to be fancy. The prices are like fancy places but the quality is definitely not. It's very convenient though it's walking distance from the hotels by the airport. Service was good but it also wasn't busy. I had the pasta, it was a bit cold and felt like they were in a hurry and just threw parsley on the top of it. Very saucy. Bland. Breadstick was hard. Probably would go for drinks but wouldn't go for food. Niece liked the burger. read more

What a find. This is a small place with a nice atmosphere. There's a u shaped bar and a small sitting area. The seating offers some intimate seating in booths along the wall and also seating on the floor. The patrons are typically travelers mixed with a local here and there. If you get lucky, you might get into a great conversation with others at the bar. People from all over. The staff is very friendly and take good care of their parties. Drinks are good. There is a decent liquor selection and a few beers on tap. Now the food! The best dish is the Cajun Mahi mahi. Tastes A M A Z I N G !!!!! All of the food I had was really great. If you're in Romulus, MI grab a bite here. You will not be disappointed. read more

While staying at the nearby Holiday Inn my wife and I walked here to eat dinner before catching a very early flight in the morning. A decent menu of appetizers, burgers, salads and sandwiches were just what we had in mind. I went with the grilled chicken sandwich and my wife ordered a hamburger. Both of our sandwiches were quite good along with the sweet potato fries. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Give this place a try for a solid lunch or dinner. read more

Good food, nice ambience, but you pay for it... they have my favorite beer two hearted

We got the house salad which was huge and amazingly good with a variety of vegetables. Then we got the firehouse hamburger which was very good and high-quality and warm and delicious. The drinks are great too and the owner Sarah is amazing. read more

Excellent service, pricing and quality. Love the ambiance including the great music! Thanks to Mary and the owner for a great dinner experience! read more

Excellent Burger and Rueben. Crispy fries and ice cold beer! Service was fantastic, especially our server! Drinks on other tables looked fancy and well poured. I think people sleep on this place because it's in the front of a America'Best Value Inn. Interior was simple with tables and booths. I'll be back! read more

Absolutely awful service. DO NOT GO HERE. Waitresses ignored us completely for an hour and then when we had to approach and ask for bill we were given a bill with items we never ordered AND and automatic tip on a small party. Zero apologies, zero kindness. You would be better off getting Cheetos at the liquor store next door, do not go. read more

We decided to stop in to the Capitol Bistro on a whim, when heading to another restaurant. So glad we did! We sat outside and were very happily surprised with the food! The grilled chicken sandwich, the Reuben, and fries were excellent! Very glad we ate there! A thank you to our waitress Kim, for having such a friendly and positive attitude! read more

This place was a close walk from our hotel. Very casual. You seat yourself No happy hour but $5 Long Island that are good. I had the mushroom Swiss with lettuce instead of the bun. Hubby had the firecracker burger. He loved that it was a Half pound burger. Fries nothing the raved about. Perhaps if they put some parm. Cheese & dill would be good. Enjoy!!! read more

This is a little joint near the airport. I had been coming to this area for years and had never gone. Man was that a mistake. I had the lamb shank that was prepared as well as any fine dining establishment. Frankly this is a fine dining establishment. Our group started off with the calamari , again prepared perfectly and served quickly. Kim our server was delightful. If you made the mistake like I have and haven't tried this place get there. It won't be your last time. read more

This was a quaint little place we found on Yelp. The place was clean, the staff was nice and very attentive. We arrived after the lunch crowd so it was quiet but we didn't have to wait long for food. I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss burger. It was perfect. The skinny fries were fresh and crunchy. This is a nice little place and worth the stop. Give them a try. read more

We were staying in this hotel as part of the stay, park and fly package and this restaurant is right in the hotel here. I read a few reviews and it sounded pretty good in fact a few people referred to it as a hidden gem so I thought why not try it. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it comes with the choice of french fries, sweet potato fries, salad, soup, or vegetable. The sauce for the chicken sandwich was a honey Dijon mustard and it was very tasty. The chicken sandwich had some cheese melted on it and it was very good. My friend got the cherry salad topped with chicken and she ate every single bite in the bowl so she really liked her salad too so we would definitely come here again. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a flight attendant. On our way to pick up our cars from the parking lot, I mentioned that my friend's flight was delayed two hours and I was looking for a restaurant. Capital Bistro did NOT disappoint. Although the restaurant was crowded, the waitress acknowledged my arrival and seated me right away. The bartender, who had a full bar of patrons, also noticed me while I was sitting at the table. She came to ask me what she could do for me. I told her I would prefer the booth. So, she started to bus that table for me, and then nodded to me when it was ready. The booth was great, because I could put my backpack next to me and work on my phone without people wondering what I was doing there alone. I ordered a Black Horse Raspberry Ale and the bacon cheddar burger with fries. Despite it being quite crowded, the waitress brought my drink right away. The food arrived in a timely fashion not long after. The beer was cold, and the food was delicious! I also had asked for a glass of water which was refilled three times. So very nice. She even refilled it after I had paid the bill and still had time to kill (many waiters and waitresses. Ignore you after you have paid.) Great service, great atmosphere, great food! read more

Great food great service. I had Korean beef brisket tacos. I loved them. Worth going out of my way to eat here

(5/23/22 Visit) Traveling for business and after a long work day my coworker and I just wanted some good comfort food. Near the Detroit Airport, Capitol Bistro and Bar was perfect. Our server, was so friendly, I believe her name was Sara. I had the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, which was amazing and enough for two people. Our server explained it's a house made cheese sauce, cavatappi noodles topped with Buffalo chicken tenders. My coworker ordered the Chi Ken Alfredo which she enjoyed and was also a large portion. Observing what other diners ordered, seemed like the sandwiches are a popular item as well. Great meal! read more

I walked in expecting a mediocre meal. I only came in because it was close to my airport hotel. But the service was great and the our meals were surprisingly awesome! Best burger I've had in years. Sweet potato and regular fries were shoestring style and delicious. My friends enjoyed their club sandwiches. Chicken lemon rice soup was amazing. Jalapeño margaritas were delicious!! Only reason not 5 stars is lack of ambience due to being near hotel lobby with open doors. I wish I could do 4.5 stars but Yelp won't do that. read more

Excellent service. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Smaller size. Ambiance is good for size. read more

Capitol Bistro & Bar - Grilled salmon with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes - American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

Great food. Great service. Couldn't have made a better decision while staying by the airport. I had the salmon. Perfect.

Sara took great care of me and my work colleagues. We had a few beers and some dinner at the bar. I had the French onion soup which was outstanding. Finished my meal with a Reuben sand which with fries. Total enjoyed the sandwich. The fries were cooked perfectly. read more

Definitely great burgers served with a toasted bun! Nice crisp skinny fries. Small cozy atmosphere. Must visit. Service was great!

Food and Services are great and no complaints. Fine establishment to deal with and enjoy a professionally prepared and serviced meal.

The Food and Service is perfection. Sarah is the kindest and most adorable bartender around.

The burgers were delicious and the french fries reminded me of McDonald's. Service was a tad slow, but they were very busy and have limited space. I would certainly eat here again! read more

I expect restaurants in hotels to be overpriced. I expect restaurants near airports to be overpriced, too. This was both. While tasty, the Fish and Chips were two small portions of fish (3-4 bites) and an average portion of fries. The Michigan Cherry Salad was not bad, but again undersized for the price. Two adults intended to share these with each other. Both left hungry. Furthermore, there was NO kid menu at all! We were offered some off-menu chicken tenders when we asked about a kids menu. And, yet again, they were overpriced for two chicken tenders. The service itself was fine, and I bear our server no ill will and gave her a full tip. But this restaurant was nothing short of a rip off and I would urge you to look elsewhere, even if on a business account for travel. read more

Popped into the Capitol Bistro at around 6pm after I learned I had a 6 hr layover in Romulus. The waitress was kind, welcoming and extremely eager to answer all of my questions + give me recommendations on the menu. The Firecracker Burger was cooked perfectly, I upgraded my side to sweet potato fries and the sauce (what I suspect was a Dijon mustard condiment?) was a nice change as a dipping element. The tempura fried jalapeños were perfectly crispy, and a great addition to the burger. Cute little BJ's adjacent spot (higher quality for the same price!) and I recommend to anyone in the area read more

Capitol Bistro & Bar - Chicken Caesar Salad - American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

Great wings. Cold beer and a good Caesar. Don't need much more when you're traveling. Did the Sweet Thai on the wings and would recommend. Not overly spicy but great flavor. Bar service was excellent even though she was busy with table service. Definitely a place I'll come back to. read more

Good food, quaint, good service. They have a really good salad. They usually tend to stay busy.

Is it possible to love a restaurant for just one thing? If that one thing is a phenomenal burger, like the type they have here, then absolutely yes! I got a burger with Jack cheese and fried jalapeño peppers, and it was listed as if it was going to be spicy. It wasn't, but it was so dang good that I can overlook that. The burger is massive: so much so that I thought I might be able to finish half of it, and eat the rest later. But, the beef flavor was so great I couldn't stop myself! The fries are decent: crispy and plentiful. The decor is classic 1970s diner...no, it's not a theme...I just thought I'd mention that there's nothing special about it. But the burger? Oh yeah. This is a place I might've driven past, and not thought twice about it. But, it was halfway between me and a friend of mine, so we met here. I'm definitely glad we did. I will be back again for that burger. read more

Capitol Bistro & Bar - This is a whole lot of burger. You might think you can't finish it, but it's so tasty that you will. Trust me. - American Near Me - Romulus, Michigan

This is the place to go if you find yourself early to the airport and want to kill some time. Small dining room and bar connected to the hotel. Great happy hour and a nice little menu. House wine pour is generous, the bartender was our waitress and simply put, a pro. My glass never sat empty and the food was good. I had naked chicken wings, and french onion soup. My hubs had a sandwich. We finished it off by sharing a NY cheesecake. Modern more business dining atmosphere than the surrounding options. Comfortable, quieter and has a couple TVs for entertainment. read more

I had my 11 month old sleeping granddaughter with me. The hostess brought a blanket and pillow and made a little bed out of two chairs for her. My waitress was equally as nice. They made my lunch a wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

3 1/2 to 4 stars. This was a surprise as we'd never been here as often as we've checked out the other restaurants in the same strip although this one is on the end near the motel. After a disappointing meal at Beirut last night, we just wanted to try some place new/different. There were a number of cars out front even though it was raining and early. An immediate greeting on coming inside and a "sit anywhere you want" made it a no brainer. We had peaked in last night and briefly looked at the menu. A couple seated in the first booth told us they'd had really good app and a really good burger there if we were wondering. I liked that and try to do the same for people myself. One of their cocktails appealed to my husband to try. I was happy with just water. Based on the recommendation of the anonymous guy last night, I decided on the steak tips appetizer. The meat was cooked to temp order (medium) and cut into nice size bites covered with sautéed mushrooms and onions. A "zap" sauce came on the side. This dipping sauce did have a bit of a kick and maybe a touch of worcestshire but was perfect. My husband had their fish and chips which was lightly battered cod and came with very thin fries. He liked it a lot and the taste I had of both the fries and the fish made me want to order that there next time. It came with tartar sauce as well as ketchup and malt vinegar on request. We shared a piece of chocolate cake. It's not made in house, but It was fine -- not great -- but filled our craving for a touch something sweet. read more

Place is connected to a hotel and the food resembles that. Was disappointed with the food and service.

Excellent chicken wings done just as I like them. Bartender lady was very attentive and worked full bar with no additional help . Place nice and cozy a bit loud from a table of 10 and very convenient from my hotel 5 minute walk. Going back again tonight ! Looking at fish & chips there read more
